Respect as a Warlock?Follow

If you want a warlock but dont want a totally amazing and easy-to-do-anything talent build... I suggest you dont take talents :D













AT ALL

Heh that mayb end up being the right answer. But there must be something out there that makes things more interesting then dot/dot/fear/drain, right?

There is more to destruction warlock pvp than affliction pvp. But it is still fairly straight foward.

I really don't think your going to get respect as a warlock while pvping. Because it is just too easy compared to many other classes.

+1

You'll get no respect from me by gimping yourself and smack talking people who don't.

Earning respect has absolutely nothing to do with what class you play.
Hence how you lost it here among "fellow locks" very fast.

Go into and instance and banish, seduce, and yo-yo fear two mobs all at the same time while still having you dots tick away on the main target. Ez-mode my ***.

Lathby, perhaps I did not word it correctly in the original post. The purpose of my post was regarding pvp, and if there is any way, as a warlock, to escape the stigma of being an extremely easy class to pvp with that does not require any skills.

I hate when people say "all locks do are dot/dot/dot/dot/fear." Yes, that is partially correct. For most specs the main source of damage do come from our DoT's. That is what most of our spells are, thank you for covering the type of damage. But what i find stupid about the statement is most other class just instant dmg/instant dmg/instant dmg/instant dmg. Good job i just listed the type of damage you do. Every class is repetitive. There is no difference in what we actually do. We are BOTH clicking on a different button, we are BOTH timing these attacks, and we are BOTH using our classes main source of damage.

To the OP:
You will never escape the criticism that locks get. The second you use fear, others will start to whine. Now if you feel like dueling (where most of the criticism comes from), the best way to spec without using fear would be destro because you have burst damage to make up for it. In the end though, rolling a lock will forever give you problems with others. I find the best way to gain respect is from knowledge of your spec and abilities. The only way im able to gain respect is by beating somebody first in a duel (im an affliction lock) then after they cry about fear, beat them without it.

As a personal opinion though, I will say Locks are the hardest class to maximize your own damage. DoT's need to be put on in a certain order and at a certain time to maximize the amount of time they are on and when you need to reapply them. Shadowbolts in between need to be timed correctly so that you can finish them off and reapply a DoT without losing damage. You need to keep track of all of your spells: the amount of time left, the global CD and cast time to make sure you can get the DoT on at the exact time of the it wearing off, all while keeping track of your health and mana for lifetaps or dark pacts.
