Sorcs can escape (You know that nifty command called FLEE?) and get another charm when they escape instantly. Scouts can go get another tame instantly. Necros can go get a control. They don't have to wait and hide for 10 minutes hoping no one manages to find them while they're entirely vulnerable because they can remedy their vulnerabilities within a reasonable time frame. Furthermore, a warlock can be shut down for upwards of 20+ minutes because of the limitation.
The 3% was a joke. Stop taking things so seriously, geez. Scouts and Sorcs can get herbs to buff their charm / pets. A warlock can't. The whole "Don't get outlawed!" thing is such a stupid argument I don't know where to begin. You see, we have these things called darkies. You know they typically don't follow rules and such and create this interesting thing called conflict. It's what keeps the game, you know, from getting boring and RP'ing about their mundane existence all the time. I mean if you could kill a shopkeep and take their stuff, sure I wouldn't care so much about it, but darkies get entirely shafted when they're outlawed. Goods become non accessible entirely. There is difficulty and then there is just entirely unreasonable, but that's not the topic here.
Honestly you guys overreact to everything I say. This is just a mild buff to see some more versatility, that's all. Just because they have a one trick pony doesn't make them fine. They have their limitations and honestly, making other elementals useless so not every warlock HAS to run around with a stupid fire elemental isn't a bad thing to do. Why can you even summon others if they're essentially useless? Geez, you all need to calm down. One change gets suggested and its "OMG U R FINE L2P NOOB!" Damn, you guys need to chill. He's not asking for magma to delete pfiles here.
No. They are not completely vulnerable. How is a warlock ever any more vulnerable than a rogue/bard/etc? If anything they're less vulnerable. Stone skin, ironguard, fly, invis, detects.
This is why Dulrik changed it so that warlocks can BUY PETS, and have an elemental.
If you people weren't zomg obsessed with chain lightning for some ridiculous reason, you'd be doing a lot better. So yes. L2P NOOBS seems accurate.
Also, yes, a sorc/etc can go get a new charm. They also you know. Have to go do that. They can't just randomly whip up a super pet out of their bag.
That's assuming that the GM barb with a weapon that had charmed/controlled didn't just murder them. Which is a pretty likely result.
This is one of the downsides of conjure elemental not being a concentrated spell and not having mana drain either.
