Warlock in PVP?

[Genedin]

What is warlock pvp like in vanilla?
I am pretty oblivious to how it functions and am trying to decide between lock or rogue to make.

fear, dots, spam shadow bolt/searing pain, shadowburn for extra damage pretty fun actually but you'll have a hard time against rogue and war

[Genedin]

I understand rogues are pretty much OP in vanilla pvp due to stunlock? How much of an actual issue is this?

Not so much against warriors imo. Depends on your spec of course, but overall they're quite "manageable".
Just watch old-school Warlocks PvP videos to see by yourself Genedin.

Well, I don't take the Shadow Reflector as something many people will have, nor that will be equipped and off cooldown all the time for those that will own one. It's definitely a game changer, but if you assume everyone has one, then let's just say every warlock will pop a FA pot right before engaging a Rogue, or will use a LA pot to get out of stunlock etc.

One of the best vanilla pvp classes.

Seduce is not a Fear nor an Incapacitate effect. Berzerker Rage doesn't make you immune to Seduce.
Nor does the Warrior's PvP trinket.

So yes Seduce + burst is kinda effective against that class.
