You missed the point. My post is about the imbalance of gear between classes. The specs on paper are indisputable. The warlock is at a serious disadvantage. For simplicity, this obviously assumes that nascent classes (without gear) are well balanced. If that were not the case, it would be a separate issue from gear. It should not be necessary to equip certain gear in order to achieve balance between the classes. "the highest damage per second of any class" Nonsense because warlocks are the easiest class to kill with the least resistance to damage, so there is balance between classes. But we need not complicate the issue just to discuss gear.
