As most of you may already know, holy word renders most warlock skills useless.
Ive heard rumours of holy word not being able to do this in future levels/caps, can anyone confirm this?
If this really was just a rumour, what are your views on this?
To me, warlocks will have a disadvantage when fighting anyone with holy word.

Well at ksro/csro holy spell is cut back to a 50% reduce. Most people are hoping that it'll get 50% in isro too but yeah, it's JM so we never know.

It doesn't really matter if a Warlock is still able to do Panic and Stun. Even if Holy Spell does not get an effect reduction in the new client, it is no reason for a Warlock to not do well versus immune targets. I don't really see it as a disadvantage though. A challenge, yes, but not at all a reason to forfeit a fight.

Maybe int locks...but a str lock just looses his sub because a cleric will just heal away the panic >.< Atleast I would lol

I agree, That most poeple think that once they have Holy word/Holy spell a Int warlock can't do anything is simply stupid. When i play on my GF's char and i use Panic, Bleed/Dull Dots and i plain out Nuke the enemy i can kill them 90% of the time. Even warriors don't pose a Big problem for me i just Stun and Shield Trash them as much as i can and keep nukeing them with panic and dots on them.

Absolutely. It's annoying that most people think that warlocks can't do anything against holy word/spell. I think they don't use their characters or something, I can't really understand it.

Warlocks as a main class are greatly misunderstood. =[
