All you now have to do to beat a lock is to get them to 3k hitpoints and low on mana.

With the lifetap change and the removal of downranking it, warlocks will no longer be able to lifetap when low on hitpoints. Now when you need 200 mana to fear that rogue off you you will no longer be able to use rank 1 lifetap to do it. You will instead lifetap 90% of your remaining HP and be killed directly after doing so by a couple of white hits.

So theres your nerf, get a lock low on mana and low on HP and they are now considered dead.

We might as well just work in "Finish Him" to appear on the screen when a warlock hits 3k health. Seriously though, if any class is low on hp and mana, the situation can be grim.
