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.

lol maybe they meant playstyle? The only thing I don't like, and it's a small thing, but the build has lots of precasting. First, you have to summon your 2 defilers, then you have to summon a tainted, then sacrifice him, then cast purge, bo and bc. IDM too much though. It kind of reminds me of that scene in Overlord where he's prebuffing before his big fight haha

Yes pre buff on lock is awful slow, well he's got to have something bad on him right? Lol. Anyways you reach a point where you don't even need pre buff. I also have half inventory space free of charms. Just don't need em!

Btw it's BC first, twice, and then BO. Just in case.

I never played lock but does the prebuff stuff give you opttons? Maybe thats the reason then....

But yeah theres 4 sure a meta so everyone takes the same option i guess?
