My 13k SW is almost unplayable now

in Player Feedback (PC)
I have a nearly 13k SW, my first character that I started 3ish years ago. Admittedly I am not a highly committed player but I have invested 000's of hours and plenty of cash to this game. I recently came back to the game but I'm out again now. The constant changes, nerfs and fiddling are what stopped me playing my Paladin and now my SW. Sorry Dev's, enough is enough.

Ok, the OBC / Pillar of Power may not have been a good mechanic for generating SW damage, but it was keeping the SW barely competitive. Now it is absolute rubbish. Compensation for the loss of DPS / rework of damage mechanics (yes, somewhat a contradiction to my earlier comment) is required to keep this class alive.

I'm shattered. I love my SW.

    You may want to check out the Mod13 warlock rework thread in the preview section. Now yes the changes wont come until probably January but they are coming.

    Are you talking about not competitive or not playable or both?

    Competitive or not is subjective and relative. For that, I can't comment since mine is not BiS.
    I have a 13K SW and I don't see that as not playable or almost not playable. I don't even have those fancy pet (that is nerf'ed now).

    The changes suck anyway, nothing that actually will benefit the SW in the long run in the dps. I don't see why they increased the healing when the healing is already superior to any other class in the game. Just pointless and silly...

    Care to share some build details? My SW still does alright and the biggest nerf I've seen so far was the OBC(Approx 15%). With the recent changes I seen a bit of a buff prior to the OBC nerf.

    I do NOT use all consuming curse and I DO use curse bite so I have to work for my damage but it's there!!

    I do not, have not, and will not use dread theft! I dislike that power. Curse bite is where it's at, unless you want a lazy play style. Then you must expect lower results.

    HB -> Fury

    Encounters: Pillar of power, Curse Bite, Killing Flames
    At-Wills: Hellish Rebuke, Dark Spiral
    Class Feats: No Pity No Mercy, Flames of Empowerment

    I'd share my feats but I'm not at home atm.

    Very seldom do I use my at wills. I use them to get my stacks up, then I unleash the encounter powers. My mount insignia bonus helps recovery and cool downs(Artificiers). I make a point to stand very close to an OP when possible provided they have the feats slotted to lower cool downs. I'm not sure proximity makes a difference for the CD reduction from an OP but I find I get an encounter fully reset to 0 more often when I stand close.

    Killing Flames and Curse Bite are my biggest damage dealers.

    After reviewing the proposed changes for M13 I see more buffs coming to my build!

    Questions? Hit me up in game @reg1981 ! If you don't see me online shoot me a msg and I'll get back to ya!

    Damn! Mine is:

    Encounters: Pillar of power, Curse Bite, Killing Flames
    At-Wills: Dark Spiral, Hellish Rebuke
    Class Feats: All Consuming curse, Flames of Empowerment

    We even have similar order of buttons.
    I have just switched to 'Killing Flames' (was Fire Bolt) and is still exploring the puppet timing.
    For At-wills, we are probably the same. I just like to click right mouse button more. :)
