Dude, stop repeating yourself over and over in your replies. Everyone understands by now that "your thread is not about the class balance but about armor". The thing you seem to be missing about everyones posts are that the class in general has these perks built into it. The gear available to each class is a way to further balance possible unbalance between the class builds available. I have a warlock and I swear by it. You may be a little right that the gear doesn't sound or seem as good as the other class gear but that is because the warlock has a lot of really good perks built into it. Therefore the gear may be toned down a bit to balance the overall experience. You can't simply only consider gear in this discussion because the classes abilities as well as the gear available are all part of the equation. You can't separate one from the other in this discussion. If the developers did that then the classes would be ridiculously imbalanced. Armor and class abilities are two sides to the same coin.
