From tossing bonkhammer to invis Truesight, Warlocks are now at such an enormous, obvious fun and function disadvantage it's getting embarrassing.
Hunters have like [b]eight[/b](?) truly distinct melee abilities. Titans have nearly that many, and the differences for them are even more dramatic than Hunters', and theirs are serious [b]FREE[/b] movement tools toboot.
Warlocks have a lame dash, castoff from Titans in D1, a poor performing dive ability with bad synergy and a fat cooldown.. [b]at the cost of our main contribution[/b]: little number puddles. Unless you happen to be running big number puddle. Don't forget the most exciting feature: unintelligent, tiny Arc shoulder numbers.
Our melees can be described as short range color-matched blobs. No precision/skilled/reset/utility. [b]Literally none[/b]. With the exception of the Arc melee... with surrounding kit synergy so poor I'd bet a few fingers it's also a Titan castoff.
From Devour to Cure to Ionic Traces, I'm glad other classes got access to some former identifying Warlock features.
So where the hell is our interesting tools, utility, and identity? Where is it written Warlocks have to be boring?

People actually list the most garbage things warlock has and use that as their reasoning that the entire class is ‘trash’. I barely played anything but hunter prior to the 3.0 subclass changes, now in PvE I find everything but warlock subpar, you actually cannot beat heat rises as a heal with starfire protocol and witherhoard/osteo for damage so high that heavy becomes irrelevant. Im GMs using 3 pheonix protocol just makes everything trivial other than lightblade.
