Warlock
In the face of demonic power, most heroes see death. Warlocks see only opportunity. Dominance is their aim, and they have found a path to it in the dark arts. These voracious spellcasters summon demonic minions to fight beside them. At first, they command only the service of imps, but as a warlock’s knowledge grows, seductive succubi, loyal voidwalkers, and horrific felhunters join the dark sorcerer’s ranks to wreak havoc on anyone who stands in their master’s way.
Warlocks can ignite distant enemies in searing flame, send them fleeing in terror and pain, or afflict them with corrupting diseases and curses that steal the victim’s vitality.
These practitioners of the profane are feared across Azeroth, and many who have felt their wrath now prefer to fight alongside a warlock than against one.
Warlocks burn and destroy weakened foes with a combination of crippling illnesses and dark magic. While their demon pets protect and enhance them, warlocks strike at their enemies from a distance. As physically weak spellcasters bereft of heavy armor, cunning warlocks allow their minions to take the brunt of enemy attacks in order to save their own skin.
- Type Ranged Magic Damage Dealer
- Standard Bars Health, Mana
- Available Armor Cloth
- Available Weapons Daggers, One-Handed Swords, Staves, Wands
Warlock talents can improve the damage of their searing magics, increase the potency of their curses and persistent damaging spells, and empower their demonic servants.
Warlocks bind demons to their will; these infernal denizens defend their masters with their lives or rain death upon their enemies
Warlocks are able to curse their foes: slowing them, crippling their combat effectiveness, and weakening their resistance. They can also drain enemies’ health to rejuvenate themselves.
Warlocks deliver fire and shadow damage with their spells, and they’re able to hurt others both instantly and with ongoing afflictions.
Warlocks can drain enemy souls and use them to empower their own spells, making them swifter or more deadly.

for me it was a big surprise, i have played destro so far cause ppl told me it was more dmg, but i think it would be interesting to see how much dmg i could do in a raid. think it would be pretty decent if i use my cooldowns with brain (wont be hard... i think :P)
maybe i'll try affli later too, but dont think i'll spec permanent affli, when they nerfed drain life i just felt that the spec was destroyed
Lightning's Blade
- remove mana drain from curses and drains and change the class type from "ranged magic damage dealer" to "pve ranged magic damage dealer no pvp allowed on this class"
And keep false informations on forums.

i agree at drains through... why should i ever want to play affli if i'll have to cast my filler like every other spec, affli is = drain for me and when they nerfed drain they destroyed that for me

i would say demo for all pvp *##*, the armor bonus make me get more armor than a tank, and then there is dmg redux + dmg increase, so in a arena 2v2 for an example where you will have to nuke a healer fast is it good, felguard stun ability help alot too

you can't go in 2v2 with a healer because affliction lacks in damage. all your dots will get dispelled even with the buff that UA got. it just isn't enough to keep healers dispell ur dots. and demo/destro isnt good for arenas aswell. so blizzard please do something about it. and in 2v2 with another dps is 2 hard because warlock lack in survivability.

When you pick a warlock you shall not the following:
1. You do not do any good damage PvP wise.
2. PvP wise you will die before the target even starts to feel your damage over time spells.
3. You do not have much survival, you have to rely on others to save you many times.
4. You are a support class in PvP, if you want to be able to kill other classes, do not pick this class. You only roll this class if you want to cause a bit of trouble for the other classes.
5. Destruction and demonology is useless in PvP. Affliction is barely useable.

Des = Best dps in raid for singel target.. = NO DOUBTS AT ALL... Are u going alli side whit a lock, go for Worgen, for the extra crit.. And horde side go gobling, for the extra haste... = this is the way to get the highest dps whitout any doubts.. No orter race can match the dps from thise races.. A Gobing Warlock is tbh the best warlock u atm can have..
For Pvp... Go Aff, u really have some benefits in that spec.. Demo can be used aswell, but demo spec mostly are used for special fights as Maloriak HC... And like in wotlk a warlock go demo for BQ HC fight..
For lvl up.. Aff is fine as lvl spec no doubts... I my selv find the demo spec quite boring to lvl in tbh, but good because of the fel guard.. I my selv played des mostly all my time as raider, and ive never seen any warlock in a orter spec whit the same gear as me do more dmg then me.. Ur rotation is really important, and the Soul Fire buff must be up all the time no matter the cast time.. So, when the fight is about to start, u open whit a normal Soul Fire ( whitout using ur soulburn ) then go immolate, curruption, Bane of doom, conflagrate, Chaosbolt, incinerate ( keep spamming untill conflagrate is of cd again )... Do NOT use ur Fel flame to refesh ur immolate UNLESS U ARE RUNNING.. Pop ur first Soulburn when ur Soul Fire buff is about to run out ( If ur imp didnt help u ) and then keep refresh ur dots asap they are about to run out, or u will lose dps for sure... And for gods shake, pls do ur selv and ur team members a favor and make some keybindings.. If u do that and u the intire time know what spell to cast after the one u just castet, and u can keep ur fingers spamming ur keys, then u for sure will see dps increase, allmost asap u get a new item... Feel free to /w me ingame if u should have any questions.. I play on Bloodhoof...
