I wish he would be nice, too. He knows a lot about the class, but often is not very nice about it.
"You catch more bees with honey" - true (even for warlocks), and if he ever learns it, he'll find his RL situation will be much better.
Well, I've learned that a lot of people (myself at times, of course) are not very "self aware." Further, some people have issues like Asperger's Syndrome, where rudeness is ... well, they're just not aware of what they're doing.
Anyway, we can always hope.
I started the Felg build at 60 and LOVED it. It just required some rethinking as to how to play - and I had to have the right talents. People used to say the Felg build was powerful up til 66 or 67, then went downhill - the Felg died too often, you were healing it every fight - couldn't tank lvl 70 mobs, blah blah blah.
I don't know what those guys were doing wrong - probably didn't have Mana Feed, didn't have some of the defensive talents that protect the pet. And they probably had low sta. The Felg build likes high stam - I recommend several green outlands "of sta" that you can get cheap off the AH - cuz high sta scales to your pet - and helps you drain tank like a ... well, like a demon!
You just tap yourself for mana, and you need a big mana pool cuz you need to tap to keep your felg going, anyway. Well, just give it a try. You'll either like it or you won't.
I've tried other builds, but I still love the Felg. Great for farming, I do okay with it in pvp (tho it's not the best build for many pvp situation, sl sl seems to be best arean build, e.g.). But I farm a lot. I do 5-man raids - and the Felg is an excellent off tank. If my group wants me to seduce - or if we pull back and fear - of course I can do that too.
As someone else pointed out, when you go demon - don't just do the Felg. Try the other pets - and learn what to do when with them. Demon was a strong build, actually, before the Felg. A Felnoob is someone who ignores the other strengths of the build and just does pet attack, dot dot dot. Anyway, good luck with this.
And to "you know who" - honestly, not meaning to trash you or to attack you - you're smart, you know things - you're analytical - I'd have to guess in RL you're an engineering student or a computer programmer. But as the years go by, if you treat others around you the way you treat us in here - yeah, you'll have a core group of flatterers who are intimidated by you. Yeah, you'll have a few peers you respect who won't mind your rudeness. But you'll find you aren't getting what you want in life - promotions will pass you by -- and go to less competent but nicer people. You'll find yourself not invited, not included, being left out. Diplomacy is THE prime skill in life. Don't let this sneak up on you and gank you. Hope this helps, and best of luck.
