I have seen now for over a month warlocks without having BIS gear melting dragons in the Well of Dragons. They rush ahead of the rest of the pack to get to the dragon first, and by the time everyone else gets to the dragon it is around half-dead. It is truly not fair that a level 60 gear set can out-damage level 70 gear, and that only one class has it. The set bonuses from all level 60 gear need to be removed, or at least give level 70 armor some equivalent damage set bonuses. The warlocks get great success after great success by just gaming the system. Is it WAI to have one SW do roughly the same amount of damage as the 39 other players in the instance, I don't think so.

Ruins are a fantastic land where one no longer knows whether reality slips into a dream or whether, on the contrary, dream makes a brutal return into the most violent of realities." #ITMFA

I think you're exaggerating. But seriously, FI is the only reason SWs can still deal some noticable DPS. Without this set, SWs get outperformed by EVERY other DPS class of equal or even lower gear. Even though SWs are supposed to be a strong DPS class, lol
Increase the base damage of SW and you can nerf FI, but otherwise don't add another nail to SWs coffin - they are in a bad enough spot already.

Removed? Good luck killing Tiamat with an average group without this set bonus, lol
I agree it's not fair that it's not obtainable anymore, but that is an issue for ALL classes, not just SW (though of course other classes' FI bonus isn't as strong).
The comparison with the blade bug seems a bit harsh. Show me / us a video of a solo SW taking half health mostly with this set bonus. I run dragons too, with good people, too, because of a channel I'm in, but I've yet to see a solo SW doing so much damage on a dragon - FI or not.
Running ahead is a <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> move, no argument here, but again, without this set bonus (and the base damage not buffed), there is no reason to have a SW in a party, because other classes can do its job way better.
Is FI way stronger in comparison with other bonuses? Yes
Do SWs have anything else to offer? IMO, no
The set effect (corrupted fire) is based on a percentage of the targets max health and is unbound in the amount of damage it can do. I have personally seen it deal nearly 1.5 million a second, but even that is nowhere near what it is capable of delivering.
You can record Video and send it via pm to Devs. This set will be even more broken with the recent change where mobs will get 50% bonus HP.

why you defend the set with lies?:P Have you ever seen a very good sw dealing damage with the new 70 set? Have you ever seen sw deal damage with 70 set and without lostmauth set? I have seen fury hellbringer.............The same guy is top on kills in every pvp also without wheel without lol set,.
OMG this set for the SW is broken beyond all belief. How they can allow this set to run in the game is completely unfair and demotivating to other players that have worked hard for better gear. Why they don't fix this is beyond me.

they allow damnation to 2 hit driders in tos the fi is the only problem? . AND is not excuse puppet get buffs a bis great weapon fighter cannot 2 hit driders with full buffs.
Posting a video of it would be against the ToS because it is Naming and Shaming, but I recommend that the Devs test the set and comment about its use. I am just reporting what appears to be a bugged set.
Record the video and PM it to me or any of the moderation team. We will make sure it gets seen by the proper people. Thanks.
