Warlock in PVP?

[Guirssane]

Seduce -> Trinket -> Soulfire
One shot !

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.

Maybe Im wrong, but i know for sure that seduce is considered a fear effect for purposes of diminishing returns.

EDIT : ye my bad about this one, rly tought it could remove it

Most funny warlock spec in my opinion.

Some awesome burst with Immolate+conflag+shadowburn plus the option to get instant shadowbolts. Played mostly with succubus.

So the general consensus is that warlock is one of the best PvP classes? I've always played frost mage and was kinda tired of its monotonous PvE (and kinda PvP) play. I tried to play lock on an instant 60 server to test it out and you guys have a TON of skills holy shit!

The build I'mma TRY to use (key word try) is a slightly modified Nightfall/Conflag.. though I've considered removing Conflag just to get that extra point in Emberstorm

i would distribute suppression points elsewhere since you are destruction, improved drain soul also improves your regeneration by 50% at all time when casting, less life tapping = more GCD for offensive spells.

I played a Warlock back in TBC and only in battlegrounds where things are rather chaotic and you rarely get "fair" 1:1-fights. What I noticed back then was that those classes that you are supposed to beat simply run away. Those who stay and fight usually kill you. In reality it was much harder than in those Drakedog-Videos. In fact, the only viable build for me was NF/SL and the class started to become viable after I got a few resilience-items.

Here is a list:
- Warriors usually resist a ton and prevent you from escaping
- Hunters interrupt like mad, do a ton of damage fast and their pet can become annoying also
- Paladins will just bubble/heal and run away, so it's a draw in the end
- Druids either act similar to rogues with the ability to escape or will just heal all damage away, draw also
- Holy Priests will just heal away all your damage until you go OOM, since they can't kill you either it's a draw
- Shadowpriests are very similar in abilities to Warlocks, so it's pretty much an even fight
- Shaman will just heal away all your damage - no idea how good enhancers are (they can 1-shot)
- Alliance Warlocks are lacking WotF, so as undead you got an edge

That's how it was in TBC Battlegrounds. I am curious to see how it turns out in Vanilla. It is also interesting to see how the class plays on a private server where certain core-abilities may turn out to be bugged/useless.

Hint: Pick up engineering for Catseye Ultra Goggles. Stealth Detection is a must!

Disclaimer: I must admit that Warlock overall doesn't seem to fit my style well. In retail I got every class to 85 except Warrior and it seems to me that my best fit is to play a healer. Know your limitations! The reason why I chose Warlock on Nostalrius is to find out how the class plays out in Vanilla where they were supposed to be pretty decent.

So in general; Yay or nay on warlock on pvp?

[mousepad]

was wondering the same too

I just picked up lock and Im tearing shit up even skulled ?? alliance

but then years ago I remember watching some world of roguecraft videos were the OP was complaining that warlocks had it the worst

or is it because the monkey that made the videos didn't even know how to bind or even the most basic rotation even after playing for 2 straight years so he assumed that locks sucked?

Warlock are fine to pvp with as long as you aren't fighting undead anything. That single race hard counters warlocks. In BG's you will be annoyed by them but you have a team to help work around them. In world pvp you're a free kill to an undead. This mainly applies to Alliance obviously.

Most of Drake's videos wouldnt even be feasible vs horde due to the high amount of Undead. Alliance are much better off running SL/NF or SL/SB for world pvp/farming. Destruction can work just fine for Alliance as well just dont expect to beat any undead worth their salt.

Drakes videos would have been feasible. Open with seduce to blow WoTF, death coil, and when it runs out there should be around 1 second left on immune, throw up a seduce to land right after WoTF ends, continue as before with one less cooldown (but you're a fucking warlock so who cares)
