    I hope later today we can get a blue post or two about the stuff that has been happening in Beta. I Need To Know if Tanklocks are going to be a real thing.

    What's a "tanklock"? I don't like the sound of that.

    looks like it may be something that Blizz may allow in MoP. I hope it's "working as intended" and not an "oh shit, better fix that quick."

    Oh, tanking warlock. I thought it was a raid mechanic where the tank gets locked and everyone has to do without him for a while.

  • Options
    godmodegodmode Southeast JapanRegistered User regular
    I don't see it happening. Remember when shamans were supposed to be able to tank?

    Just gonna be plate-wearers and druids, MAYBE monks. I don't see a clothy being able to do that.

    I don't either. But dammit godmode, let me dream.

    Disappointment feeds my ability to play the emo-dressup doll that is the warlock.

    Sorry :P

    Though, it would be pretty cool if they gave Locks more utility.

    I think they're toying with the idea. The form is a stance and it has the whole "armor increase and crit immunity" so yeh you might have warlock tanks.

    And the Scorpid Poison bug on Scorpid pets. You would pop all your cooldowns and BW and send in the little bugger. The DOT stayed high as long as it was constantly refreshed.

    Wouldn't be the first time beta and release had different design intentions, sure. Not like Warlocks have never been caster tanks for certain raid bosses before.

    I don't see why Metamorphosis wouldn't just be a shapeshift (like bears) if that's the design intent though. A tank misusing their resources and popping out as a cloth caster seems like a pretty hardcore punishment.

    Yeh I haven't tried it myself but I think it stays as a form now and the resource is like rage or whatever and you don't pop out.

    I'll give it a shot later on.

    warlock tanks are A Thing now

    im not sure if eventually they will be able to raid tank but right now they are more than capable of tanking heroics

    im concerned about how ridiculous lock tanks will be in pvp considering they have full access to all their cc/utility still

    My friends and I are already planning on having a Warlock Tank for our Raid Team. I haven't seen anything that would make them not capable of Tanking raids. They won't be able to Dodge or Parry, but their damage mitigation will be astronomical, so they will take very consistent damage. The tough part will be whether or not they will have as much Stamina on their gear as the other Tanks will be getting on their Tank gear.

    they'll probably have bear like talents to solve this problem.

    monks will be primarily evasion tanks with poor actual mitigation

    At the beginning of Wrath, Death Knights were an unknown and avoidance based. It didn't help that there wasn't a defined tanking tree.

    I'm still baffled as to why Enhancement has tanking tools and isn't at least getting a semi-viable talking setup.

    I've had a taunt and a threat-boosting weapon enchant for all of Cataclysm so far and nothing to show for it.

    Well apparently Warlock tanks are OP as hell right now in the beta. Cause here is a level 85 Warlock Tank soloing Morchok.

    In other news, I got into a PuG DS Raid on Sunday. Arms'd it up for most of the fights and off-tanked Ultraxxion and Blackhorn. Went smooth, was a pleasant experience for my first PuG raid on Cho'gall. I did however message someone on my Priest to heal a 10DS, and they declined me because the only gear my priest can use comes out of DS Normal modes. Good times, gotta have the gear out of a dungeon to run the dungeon, despite it being nerfed by 10%.

    Void Tendrils (Talented Spell, Tier 1)
    Instant cast. 30 Second Cooldown
    Summons shadowy tendrils out of the ground, rooting all targets within 8 yards for 20 seconds. Killing the tendril will cancel the effect.

    The amount of mobility Priests are getting plus this aoe snare has me excited to PvP again.

    the second "half" of the damage that gets shuffled by stagger is mitigated quite a bit though and that goes up with mastery!
