vs. warlock and felpuppyFollow

That's not my advice. My advice is to put it up when the 'Lock casts Drain Life, as it will prevent him from getting any life back. You can use a lower rank to save mana if you have it hotkeyed.

A Felhunter can only devour magic every eight seconds. If he's devouring your shield, he's not devouring your Vampiric Embrace or Shadow Word: Pain. A reasonable tradeoff.

sederix - yes I was one of them.. I play from 2004 what is your issue?
I see a typical warlock syndrome here..
1. you are warlock, the king I see.. and no one has a chance.
2. you get crushed by locks all the time because you don't have what it takes to beat them so you have a trauma.

Anyways.. yes warlocks have many good abilities.. but lets see you attacked me so here is counterattack. Lets keep it constructive.



Silence anyone? they cant dispel your mind flay either.. + shield when they draining



If I can remove +100 spell dmg buff from someone I will do it.. but you probably wont. Well I personally have 3 DOT's on warlock too (VT, SW: P, devouring plague)



Yes.. cool so how many warlocks did you actually see soulstoned in BG's after 1st 2 minutes of the BG? Yes exactly.. zero. Agreed however in world PvP this may come as issue sometimes.



Aaa nice one there.. so lets go into details because your noobishness is killing me. You somehow didn't cover the whole spell descriptions:

Rank 7 Mana burn costs 355 mana when talented 2sec cast. Drains 1021 to 1079 mana from a target. For each mana drained this way the target takes 0.5 shadow damage.

Rank 6 Drain Mana costs 455 mana, is channelled lasts for 5sec. Transfers 200 Mana every 1 sec from the target to the caster

So I hope you see which spell is better in the end. Just in case you don't.. Priest, less mana cost, more mana burned (2.5x more if you count that I will cast almost 3x mana burn while you finish the 1st one, you could get spell pushback when I will finish the 1st mana burn since it does damage, or you may not.. with fel concentration 70% pushback resist.), more damage (obviously mana drain, drains only mana so lock counts only on dots which are ticking on target)



Yes, WOTF + trinket + fear ward. The priest fear spell has 26 sec CD if you are shadow and have silence.. which I hope is 95% of PvP spriests.

You probably did not finish reading my post. I did not say warlocks are weak.. a good warlock is almost impossible to beat.. but these days? There are only few good ones on each server. I was merely trying to help the priest community because I do not understand the fear from priests from warlocks.. Sometimes you win to them sometimes you lose.. but it is not "OMG warlock, RUN case anymore"

Sederix ,don't embarrass our class ffs man.
Mostley all you said is crap.L2pvp first.

LOL I'm sorry, but when you said "all warlocks are newbs", did you mean that? Because, if you did, then no one was attacking anybody but you at first.
Unless "all warlocks" only means the ones you imagine, then of course, I must apologize for being defensive ;)

Okay, how can a channeled spell be dispelled? Because, I have never seen that. Do you mean interrupted instead?
I found that Fel Armor has been mostly a luxury. Losing it can remove some of the threat, but one must keep in mind that with Soul Link, warlocks still get 20% damage mitigation and they still have a minion dealing 150~500 DPS on top Shadow Bolt or Inferno.

In reference to mana, which "math" exactly did I miss? We were comparing priests' burning mana, to warlocks' draining it. The comparison was between mana, not damage, and I quote: "can burn their mana", is what you said. You did not say "can damage them while burning mana".
I said warlocks can do pretty much the same, only slower. When you add things like the part of Mana Burn that includes damage, then you are completely changing the original comparison you made. If you are saying Mana Burn is better BECAUSE it can damage AND burn mana, then you should have said so, and I would have agreed.


And, I am saying your comparison was not very objective, because warlocks and priests have a lot in common. Both classes can heal themselves AND deal damage at the same time; and both have excellent defenses against spells. Both have similar weaknesses.
I just recently did Eye of the Storm, and had a chance to finally fight (what looked like) a Holy Priest 1:1. I can say the only major advantage they had over me, was that they were healing faster than I could.
Up until his friends finally came to save him (which is what usually happens), it seemed almost as if we were evenly matched.

No, Dispelled. Look carefully at the buff/debuff bars next time you're casting Life Drain or Mana Drain.

Most channeled spells can't be dispelled. These can.



When I dispel Fel Armor, you lose 416-648 health--no 20-26% bonus to your Healthstone heal--reduce your +damage by 100-130, and reduce the life you get from Drain Life, Soul Siphon and bandages by 20-26%.

Think Fel Armor is a luxury? Stop casting it, let us know how that goes.
:)

The part of my sentence that you snipped explains exactly how so: "no 20-26% bonus to your Healthstone heal". Dispelling Fel Armor means a warlock's Healthstone heals for much less. Same for his Deathcoil, not included in the total above, but perhaps he's used that by the time his Fel Armor is dispelled. Same too for his Life Drain, also not included in the total above because there's no telling how often he will use it. (Probably lots)



Rogues and Warriors have the best shot one-on-one against a Warlock at the highest levels of play, but of the casters Discipline and Shadow priests probably have the best chance. I've heard that Reflective Shield plus a lock's DoTs gives many Warlocks fits due to spell interruption, and of course you know the Shadowpriest toolbox.

LOL totally.


Personally, it's been rogues and huntards. Paladins to a lesser degree, only because they have that shield thing, and their friends come and kick my *** by the time it expires lol.
