Warlock buff...but wheres the wizard buff

[Furyslay]

<DIV>Warlock DD now does about 300damage more then me.  Im sitting here decked out in adept 3 and masters as a 31 wizz, and a lvl 31 warlock with app 4's is owning me in damage.</DIV>

I immagin that we will trade off who does more dmg at each lvl

<DIV>The main nuke for a warlock was increased to 300% damage, but the recast time was also doubled. I'm not saying they don't need to do some further tuning to the wizard spells, but I'm just pointing out the rest of the equation.</DIV>

<DIV>At lvl 32 Lemee give u an idea of what my spells are doing with avg/max dmg...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Ad3Ball of Fire -  550/643</DIV> <DIV>Ad2 Freeze -  280/350</DIV> <DIV>Ap4 burning Intimidation - 270/345</DIV> <DIV>ap3 Ice Spike - 220/300</DIV> <DIV>ad1 Bott - 190/245</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>SOloing I can reeach 2000 dps. In groups I have to hold back because of agro but I think I could sustain 150 easily If aggro was not a problem.</DIV>

<DIV>[FAAR-NERFED!], you got me all excited for a sec...</DIV>

150 sustained seems unlikely at your level.L50 Wizard with all (and I mean all) adept3's can sustain 150-200 depending on situations. Burst for higher on easy to kill mobs but that's no accurate measurement.

<DIV>You will be outdamaged by the warlocks for a few levels, not by a lot but by some. You need to check and recheck your spells to see which are currently the best for you - it won't be the same old same old.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>At L37 it balances out, since Ice Spear (which I hope you picked) will equal Ball of Flames in damage. That's cap of 650ish damage at Ad3, L37. Ie, you have two 650 damage spells, one with a 6 sec recast the other with a 12 sec. 650x3+650 is more than the Warlock, promise. No - Ice Spear and BoFl are not on the same timers anymore.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>At L39 we get our damage lead back with Immolation, 4 tick DoT which does close to 1400 damage max over 4.5 sec at Ad3, L39. 20 sec recast tho, fill the gap with the BoFl and Ice Spear.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>We can, in a manaburn contest, outdamage a Warlock by 20 something DPS at L40. You won't normally do this though, since you will kill yourself pulling that aggro.</DIV>
