True but the damage was through the roof already so I figured the 33% extra tankiness wouldnt hurt when I run MF with sub par resistances. ^ ^
I guess that's what happens when literally everything on a class is through the roof...
"dmg through the roof, might as well get extra tankiness" vs. "life and tankiness through the roof, might as well get...literally anything else" vs. ... all equally valid

Indeed, I definitely agree with most of the nerfs. I just think they might have over-corrected some things. But its just the PTR, its not set in Stone.
It's just crazy to me how they released the class in that state in the first place. It's so over the top that it's hard to believe it wasn't on purpose. ^ ^ I mean, It's either that or gross incompetence.
Haven't played anything Blizzard since early D3 (before crossing over to PoE) so Im not sure how they are doing as a company in terms of team skill/quality.

Set is very nice indeed. -25 fire resist from 3 pieces is incredible. Add Obedience for more -fire resist or Hex fire to ignore target defense and you can pass through hell. lvl 30
Enchant from whole set too.
Enchant self, merc, demons party members. Awesome! New sword saves you 7 hard points if you are a mage or a boiler . You can kill bosses with it quite easy. Set parts were pretty cheap even at the ladder start. Dirt cheap now.

new season I will play warlock only. If Blizz will nerf it completely -will just go back to non-ladder. Whatever.

Yeap, thats sweet. Btw, which new sword are you referring to? Im only aware of

Dreadfang.

Now all they have to do is make sure EchoStrike is no longer controlled by FCR, but by AS. Then you should also be able to bind 3 demons...

Removed the Damage Taken stat.

This one was the most concerning for me. Basically makes the skill useless, does it not? Summoner warlock, here, and the changes, while I understand them to bring Eldrich down a notch, seem to be a crippling nerf to summoners.

Full Summon build is nerfed?! Lmao.
EVERY warlock build was using 1p
Demonic Mastery and 1p
Bind Demon: Defilers for AoE,
Consume for damage and Hephasto for Cursed and aura.
The nerf is making summoner a dedicated build, not a mandatory free addition to every other build.

I like the dedicated summoner trajectory, but don't you think removing damage from lethargy cripples the build a bit? It is already a slow clearing build. Auras I don't care. Health

Cap.. I suppose byebye immortal demon... Lethargy is the killer for me. Couldn't make damage scale with hard points? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It still reduces defense, so may remain useful together with

Echoing Strike making an AR check.
And also as a crowd control skill, but only on Hardcore, since no one bothers with CC on SC.

I wonder after this patch, how many would refund the warlock expansion if they could?

This is massive kick in the balls. There are stronger classes with sometimes even multiple builds even.
Mosaic assa has been strong broken OP beyond comprehension for a long time and nothing has been done to it but a tiny nerf some time ago which didnt really change enough anything.

Would be hilarious if these nerfs to warlock would cause a massive player outrage and people would not play the next season to show their minds about the changes.

There are a lot of doomsayers - but the patch notes are not even final yet, there will surely be changes based on feedback from the PTR. Some nerfs might still be adjusted/reversed, it's too early to say. The PTR begins tomorrow.
