I realize that, as a level 22 Warlock, my opinion could be devalued or less accurate than another, higher level players&amp;#39;. I die constantly in BGs, and feel nowhere near the top. I would say that I die in BGs because of the massive cast time on my good offensive spells, during which a rogue saps me, a warrior mauls me, or a mage crushes me. It would be unfair, in my opinion, to INCREASE casting time. More fair to Decrease it.&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for your time,&lt;br /&gt;Traiolullen, level 22 Undead Warlock, Lightninghoof server.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="cb"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://my.curse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=256308" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>Balance them classes, balla.</title><link>http://my.curse.com/blogs/the-extraordinary-life-of-ribs-the-shaman-en-users/archive/2008/09/19/N882Id.aspx#256307</link><pubDate>Sat, 02 Aug 2008 07:41:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">045f8e2a-3b25-43b2-9769-9c60de2974e3:256307</guid><dc:creator>CircaRevolt</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;The problem is how things are at 70 end game.  The dots do huge damage when they are all stacked on one target.  A warlock almost always has the most KB&amp;#39;s not to mention damage done.  It&amp;#39;s the fact that there are no cast timers on so many of them, and you can have the same dot on 5 different people without blinking.  I don&amp;#39;t really think the changes to fear are that big of a deal since apparently locks don&amp;#39;t use fear that much?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="cb"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://my.curse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=256307" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
