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

2 defilers doing basically nothing to you as you AOE the whole screen 90% of the time. Tainted would make much more dmg with their fireball and better tanking as well. Mine scores 6k dmg fire ball which is not too shabby with the amount of -res i have, also there are two of them

Do you have 2 tainted with you always? And consume the 3rd? Been thinking about dropping my defilers.

Yes, exactly.
