should dark distortion and nil distortion be on the same timer? they each do extremely similar damage to thier wizard counterparts ball of fire and ball of flame. ball of fire and ball of flame share a timer. they have the same icon.  they have an extremely similar description.  you get nil distortion just as dark distortion is greying out. is this an oversight on the part of the dev's?  is this something that should have been corrected? <div></div>

They were on the same timer were taken away so we could actually do more damage than fighters and most scouts.  In doing so Nil distortion had its reuse timer doubled though.

<DIV>Like Max said in the above post.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And just because Dark Distortion is greying out doesn't mean it sucks. At 50 I still use BSS (the adept 2 trait thingy counterpart of dark distortion) on raids and stuff as frequently as I use Nil Distortion.</DIV>

I'm 95% sure that BOF and BOFL got put on seperate timers with the same update. <div></div>

Nope, DD and ND shouldn't be on the same timer, they complement each other pretty well, great for doing solo-mage-HOs etc. Only possible way for ND replacing DD would be decreasing the reuse timer on ND to that of DD but still I'd prefer both DD and ND: <div></div>

Btw Jeremy you forgot your signature "OMG don't make Warlocks into an AE class!!111" BoF and BoFlames are on separate times as are DD and ND. Every time I see a post from Jeremy I think he wants Warlocks to be changed back to how they were before christmas. Wouldn't that be fun for everyone! <div></div>

<P>Ball of Fire and Ball of Flames are on seperate timers?  if this is true accept my appologies for wasting everyone's time, but i consulted a couple 50 wizards before this post.  i was certailny led to believe that they share a reuse timer.  </P> <P>it is true that i would prefer warlock was specialised in single target damage, since that is just plain better, but my only SERIOUS concern is that warlock is going to turn into a DOT class.  that would be simply unacceptable.  regardless, thanks for your feedback on this subject.</P> <P> </P>

Warlocks are DPS.  We have great single DD attacks and AE attacks.  The Distortion and Absolution lines are what we live on. <div></div>

<P>I am tired of these Wizard post that want warlock to be nerfed bcuz they think that Wizard should be the best DPS in game since they are named Wizard.</P> <P> </P> <P>Wizards are the master of Arcane. Mean they are not focussing only on dmg spell but on mahy aspect of the magic power.</P> <P> </P> <P>Warlock are the master of Decay. They Focus their studies in poisoning and finding way to make the flesh rotting to the death.</P> <P>IMO just ive Wizard a bit more utility spells. If warlock and Wiz would both be same dps and same utility. WHy botther to make  2 class to be the same things with only the spell anymation being different ?</P>

No they shouldn't be on the same timer, and the wizards' BoF and BoFl aren't on the same timer either.
