And this is my recently turned lvl 60 warlock. http://ctprofiles.net/1179806
God his gear is crap, but hopefully ZG and/or MC soon will rectify that.
I mean, I have a pair of much higher level rainstrider pants sitting in my bags, but +spirit is crap for me.
Oh look what I can make ... for a mage
Oh now I can make this ... for a priest
I've ended up just wearing crap gear through my warlock's life just because I rolled on a new server and there was nothing available in the AH and sewing my own gear.
But yeah, Warlocks have had the best looking gear of all classes easily.
Felheart was awesome, especially the shoulders, same with Tier 2 and Tier 3.
Here's hoping they fix Doomguard or Infernals so we see them more often.
just thought I'd say that
And soul stones. Mother fuckers love sou stones.
Oh, and I guess Im alone in thinking that Plaugeheart looks like shit? Maybe its just the colors, maybe it just looks like shit.
But yeah, these extra services you provide are good things. I feel sorry for rogues that don't get to do anything but pure dps, while warlocks have a dps role in combat, plus wipe recovery, summoning, healthstones, and debuffing.
And Plagueheart does look good I admit. It makes us look freaky, which is what warlocks are supposed to do. We do deal in demonic magic.

God that stuff is ugly. :?
On a seperate note, anyone else get really peeved when someone knocks your CoD off with some stupid debuff like serpent sting? Sorry, those slots are reserved.
Unless I'm in the MT group or its a specific boss, I generally run whichever pet I want and the rest of the raid either doesn't mind or doesn't notice. sac/rez succubus is nasty, although watch your aggro. I'd say its about equivalent damage to a sm/ruin build, but much more controllable without the crazy crit spikes.
Though I will try to switch out pets next time or get switched out of the MT's group.
Except when the warlocks forget to SS someone.
Man the shit really hits the fan when that happens. Might not be as big a deal for horde due to shaman self-rez but on alliance it's a good way to get everyone thinking you're a complete retard.
<.<
Not that I've ever done that.
Nope.
I'm wondering how this is done. Do you just sac the vw, and tank things while slinging spells at them, or do you have to keep throwing fear around, and probably then grind in areas with low likely hood of adds?
Basically I'm trying to build a character that is not as boring as my hunter. Pet attack -> shoot.
It seems like warlocks are a lot more versatile than that, depending on the build. Pretty much any way I bould my hunter it's going to be the same strat
Whats cool about being a Warlock is that you can just sit back and kill shit. Often we do have the responsibility of putting Curse of Reck to avoid runners. We also have to remember to dismiss our pets if we are taking a shortcut. Other than that we just shoot to kill 24/7. The one time I think we took a shortcut in Gnomeregan by jumping off to the next platform down, I did not dismiss my pet. There we were sitting and drinking our Mana and I'm like "Hey look my Voidwalker is coming back, Oh fuck and hes bringing 20 motherfuckers with him!" Hillarity ensued.
One annoyence with rolling a lock is having other users telling you how to play with the group. I understand that some of these users themselves have warlocks, but if I have my Voidwalker out, it means someone isn't tanking as they should and I am tired of dying for the 4th consecutive time in 15 mins.

However, I tried this on the test server a while back. It was pretty close to the speed of my Dark Pact build, but it seemed just slightly longer, as killing mobs wasn't quite as fast. With DP, I would pull with shadowbolt and put succy on the target, immediately put a CoEX after my SB hit, then corruption, then either life tap or another SB, then feared the target and nuked it. This doesn't work too well without CoEx though.
This also let me keep my succy out to CC any extra humanoids if I pulled adds, whereas DS doesn't. I think DS might be better if you had better gear, but I don't think it's worth the gold to get really good gear for levelling.
As a result, my warlock takes a lot of damage, and I use a lot of mana. Would be nice if Improved Drain Soul worked with Drain Life instead, because then I'd really be pimping.
haha that makes me remember my shaman in EverQuest. I told my party I could outdamage anyone (this was a regular guild group) given a mob with enough HP's, as long the tank could hold aggro.
This was shortly after the DoT stack change, so you could stack basically every DoT you had from lvl 1 on to lvl 65 (cap at the time I was playing)
Which is what I did
I cast everything on bosses, and kept those dots going full time. That sort of stuff makes me happy in the pants.
Maybe at 70 you can actually control a Doomguard?
My lock never gets boring. Different builds can be completly different playstyles and strategies. Conflag vs Soul Link is like night and day. Even a different pet out means a different strategy.
One can hope that upgraded versions of the enslave demon spell will make that possible.
If you get enough shadow damage, and go after low enough mobs (-3 to -5) you could just insta-dot everything in sight and kite them in circles till they die. Drain Life will keep you up most of the way, and a death coil/HS at the end of a big pull will do the rest. Its non-stop button mashing fun.
something like this
edit: SM/DS looks pretty cool too.
