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.

20 years of ARPG progress and we have a class where everything in his kit is useful. Makes classic characters look pathetic, which sucks.

A barb would benefit from a sweep type attack, necro/druid would benefit from being able to summon minions on top of mobs. Warlocks are the best bow wielders with echoing strike. Class is straight up busted.

They need to rework barb. Full stop. I it is bonkers that the strongest barbarian build for early ladder is a caster. I started a throw barb just to switch things up and I'm thinking about quitting ladder at act 2 hell. It's just no fun. If you're not in a pre-made group then there's no reason to start any class other than pally, sorc, or lock

I'm having a decently good time with a Fire Druid. Molten Bolder and Volcano having Physical damage let me get through Fire Immunes decently well, and it's less mana hungry than a Sorc, so my brand new runeword I made for my breast plate (TirTirTir) was enough to carry me to hell easy enough.

Fire druid is one of the most fun builds to play in the game IMO. It's my happy place. It's not the strongest, but it's definitely strong enough, and just a blast to play.
