Are there any updates to Warlock dps paragon???

I returned to NW 6 ~months ago and started from scratch. My choice was Warlock without any understanding of current meta (CW). I really like SW gameplay and ability to play dual paragons. But really, recently there was a LOT of updates to CW and TR, which are already in soooo good state, and literally zero attention for SW dps.

SW has no valuable CC powers (1 is really useless, and Hadar's Grasp has small duration + almost all enemies is immune to it). While CW, TR, HR has powers which really CC enemies and still do decent dmg. Thus if devs positioning SW as no control character - review its powers in terms of strength: it definitely should do more dmg. Or give some additional mechanic - like curse should lower enemies resistances (for SW only or even for the whole party), or scare and stun/daze somehow. Cause in current state SW is really less attractive in terms of dps against others alternatives.

PS: TR are really mad rn, and receive buffs again and again :persevere:

    Wizard was bad and weak for a long time.
    In my own impression and experience, Rogue was nerf'ed in recent "update".
