Good attempt but many things can be done to increase your run speed and gold earned.

- Go in the side entrance, you can get one more pack (pve specced) or two if frost spec.

- Most of the damage you will take is from lash of pain which is magic and can be resisted use mage armor and dampen magic.

- I find it more efficient if pve spec to run into the packs, nova, flamestrike, coc , ae, while kiting around the flamestrike.

- With practice you can use your cooldowns, arcane power and pom to pull two packs at once and save time.

Thank you so much for good feedback for improvements

Yes you could practise to grab up to 2 packs but i'd rather do the safe way. But if you should attempt to do 2 packs you should use the recommended specc thats in the video.

Anyway I used the Ice armor to have a second slow incase I missed my CoC and because it takes longer time for them to break through mana shield

Once again thanks @Edz

How much gold do you get from each run? Also, could a Warlock farm like this? Thanks for video

The amount of gold I get from each run depends really on the items/junk that drops. I've experienced to get 3 traveler's backpacks in one run which gave me alot of gold.

But the exact amount of gold you can get from each run can go between 10-20g
and sometimes add up to 30-40g , depending if you are lucky with drops.


Honestly I have no experience with a warlock farming DM E. Yet it seems abit hard considering you have to send in your voidwalker and start raining fire. And Voidwalkers arent really well known for holding aoe aggro that well hehe.

So what im saying is that it seems doable but hard, so give it a try!
Please come back and tell me how it went! :D

As a Warlock you would enter through the back entrance and enslave the Satyrs and Imps there. You would never use a voidwalker as their aggro is complete garbage. The problem with Warlocks is that they have no escape besides fear and banish, and using fear is bad if you aren't there to direct it.

If farming Dire Maul East as a Warlock you should bring a friend (preferably another Warlock or a healer).

You can do it as a warlock. Im pretty sure there is a more optimal way to do it but what I did is that I dropped the 4 points in cheaper destro spells and put them into Intensity and Pyroclasm(DS/Ruin base).
I go in front entrance and drop down. Summon up a VW send it in and mass taunt while throwing rain of fire. When the taunt runs out I just hellfire and they're dead and I have about 600 hp left or so.
Since there is a 2 min cd on VW mass taunt I have to every other pack just run in the VW while solo killing one of them for a soul shard and then sac the VW and hellfire the rest down.

Obviously it isnt as fast as mages can do it but hey, it works.
Also I beg mages for water/food when Im outside.

It's stupid easy as a Holy Priest.

Holy Nova spam = win. I do 5 runs in 50minutes, sell, come back, do it again. Basically gotten an average of 30g per hour, if you take into account selling herbs, sharding greens, and of course, vendoring the grey Lasher Roots, Thorny Vines, and Serated Petals.
