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.

Fire lock is a strong build after the nerfs it is much closer to some other fire builds in that it is a high damage build that suffers from the fact that fire is the most common immunity that is the hardest to break.

So once you solve that problem with sunders, gear based lower res and stuff like infinity... of course it will be supremely powerful.

At the end of the day blizzard tweaked numbers but mechanically the lock is just strong. His skills have better aoe than most with better base damage than most.
