Warlock Weapons-Just made a LockFollow

I use the Grand Staff of Jordan, if you have an 80 its easy to get and you never have to change weapons.

Well, there aren't any caster BoA 1-hands that a lock can use. And there are no BoA off-hand items.

I'd go with the Dignified Headmaster's Charge instead of trying to find actual weapons/off hands from quests/instances/AH.

Unless, of course, you want to level up the skill. Then just grab a white one from a vendor, set your VW to defensive with taunt on AC and just whack the mob to death.

If you have no access to BoA stuff, your best bet will be a staff for a few levels as the tend to have the best stats.

When you get to SM level ou will have the option to get the blade and offhand, a lot of casters go for this as spell power tends to be the IN THING, even at low level.

There will be a lot of SP gear at this level, so specially as a Lock you will be pretty mean in pve and pvp.

It never used to be whilst leveling in azeroth, once you hit OL and NR ofc it is.

Again with the not reading thing. It never USED to be, meaning it is now. Many low level toons sacrifice a lot of sta and int for a piece with minimal sp.

Sp plays more of a part once you hit OL.

And so was I untill you came along with your snarky comments which kinda backfired on you.

Since when have I said that sp is bad? Or a fad. Everything I have said points to that it is the in thing for leveling. Not a fad.

Cars are an in thing, they certainly aren't a fad.

What was the 1st thing I told him to do? get sp blade and OH....oh the terrible things sP can do for you...leave them alone ohhhhhh

You started going off in all kinds of directions after I pointed out your inability to read(see what I did there?.)

I like how you try so hard, yet get no cookie. Good day ma'am

Actually, CF, you're a little out of line.

The guy only offered advice and from looking at it (with eyes that remember 2005), I'd say it's solid.



This is, or was, true for Vanilla and most of The Burning Crusade. Staves tend to have a surplus of stamina whereas 1h + OH gives you more spell power. Warlocks love stamina as health equals mana for us. The 10 or 20 spell power we lose is no biggie, especially while leveling.



I know what netsharp meant with this and I honestly think you're overreacting, CF. He wasn't saying spell power is bad. He wasn't being arrogant about spell power's efficiency. What he meant (or means) is that low levels tend to focus more on spell power now. It wasn't more than a few expansion ago that you couldn't get spell power on your gear. Hell, through most of TBC you couldn't get spell power until level 50+ and it didn't start to really matter until 60+ when you hit Outland.

The general rule of thumb, while leveling a Warlock, is to stack stamina. Loads of it. This only changed when low level gear was revamped to include spell power in decent amounts. Remember, a lot of the low level stuff that has spell power on it now didn't a year ago. Take the dagger from Scarlet Monastery. I remember when that dagger didn't have spell power on it, or whatever "increase" it now has.

So, yeah, you started out with misreading his post and then you proceeded to flame the guy, ending it with a post wherein you ask him if he created an account just to troll the Warlock forum.

With some 25k posts under my belt, I want to know if you, CF, came here just to troll this thread, because you've brought nothing to the table except flames.

And I'm not being personal or biased. I don't know either of you very well, least of all netsharp. I just don't think it's fair to run the troll-pitchfork-bonfire drill on a guy who gives advice, especially when you misread his post and proceed to flame him. Yes, I noticed you're putting words in his mouth and twisting them a couple of times. Why are you baiting him?

Edit: Also, taking low-blows at someone's English skills gets old - fast.

Take the Emberstone Staff for example from DM. A nice chunk of Sta and Int for the level, a similar spell dagger and orb will maybe have half these stats. This is a basic point I was trying to make.

Thanks, Mazra for understanding.

Staff has always been a good choice, just ask Kralnor. I hear he had a good staff.
