1. It does enough or a lot of damage to kill you in one hit (in close range).
2. Touching a bolt can still hurt you a lot for the warlock to finish you off.
3. Warlocks like to use it in close range or behind corners to get EZ kills or save themselves.
4. Was ONLY able to dodge/survive it due to a warlock being bad in the game.
Amuse me on how you can possibly try to avoid it.

Step 1: equip erentil or wizened rebuke Step 2: Crouch, and do not stand back up at all for the entirety of the match, if you need to move, crouch walk. Step 3: Always be pre-charging, who cares if they can hear you? Trust me it won't matter. Step 4: Don't switch to your primary at all. Step 5: Shoot in Handheld NB users general direction. Step 6: Bag furiously to assert your dominance. Step 7: Profit? Be advised these tips work in virtually every PvP engagement.
