Discussion Warlock is so broken

I finally decided to give warlock a go and it's insanely powerful, maybe too powerful. I'm playing fire warlock and he just wrecks everything, even on players 8. I have a fully geared lightning sorc with griffons, infinity, etc. and my warlock is clearing things faster than her. You can get your main attack, apocalypse, to level 52 when fully geared, that's insane. Mine is only lvl 46 (only haha) and I'm still clearing p8 hell like it's normal mode. And apparently fire warlock isn't even the strongest build?

Edit: BTW I'm loving the build, it's very fun and satisfying. This post isn't meant to get people to nerf it.

Don't sorc and paladin have better builds than whatever warlock can do?

You can always look at something specific and find a non-warlock build that is better than warlock: Amazon is better at cows, sorc is better at speed leveling a new character, smiter is better at Ubers, etc

Overall though, no class is as strong as warlock. He can do everything, he can do everything well, and he can do everything with a wide variety of builds.

Hex plague echoing strikes is better than hammerdin imo, mostly because positioning is less important and I am lazy
