don't listen to him as you can see he likes Warlock and thinks its a good class

Btw if you roll Warlock, roll undead, Undead are the only people that really capture of the Demonic embracing

If everyone likes Warlock, then everyone would be a Warlock. Who am I to decide if it's a good class? PLAY and DECIDE for YOURSELF.

Browse the class forums, read the topics in them, pay attention what people are saying about it. You can make a rough estimate from that information alone.

So sick and tired of these pointless threads every day.

Few things amuse me more than people who go on and on about how disinterested they are in something. ^^

As for warlock, if it's to your taste, it is a fun class and yes it is needed. They have quite a few helpful tools including demon pets, debuffs, demon/elemental crowd control and most important: wipe insurance.

Fact: There exists not a single class that people don't think is overpowered and there does not exist a single class that doesn't think it's hard done by.

Speaking as a warlock that watched the change from zomgunderpowered/cry to omgnerfusweeventhinkwearetoopowerful! Warlock is a fun class, you can be direct damage, or dot damage, or even pet damage. Almost every spec is viable for endgame. It is a versitile class and if you learn it well you are single handedly able to take down 3-4 people at once. I say play it till about 42, if you don't like it reroll

Ogre? I think you mean Orc. Yes, there is a difference. Race doesn't really mean much. Orcs have racial talents that enhance a 'lock, but so do Undead, gnomes, and humans. Each race also has talents that do nothing for a warlock.

I wouldn't mind knowing how Druids are overpowered.

Well feral druids with Ferocious Bite have the competitive ability of FB (read: pretty balanced) combined with the skills we needed to get by before we had it. We seem to be becoming the new flavour of the month because of this. Personally I welcome noobs thinking we're a one-button win, they'll keep the other classes underestimating me in PvP.

Sure seems like there is NOTHING you can throw at them that shapeshifting won't foil. That's pretty bloody annoying.

Not to mention some are saying they're going to be viable raid tanks come BC. Damn well better not! I am NOT playing second fiddle.

Stuns pretty much ***** a druid. Same with hunter traps.




...That's about it though. ^^ Ever since they made it so we can actually deal damage and kill stuff, that is. Used to be a druid had to bore you to death.

I've heard from unconfirmed sources that specced and geared properly, warlocks can outdamage mages now on a single target. But this is with 41+ points in destruction and a shadow priest in the group and insane high +dmg gear from Naxx so you'll likely not see that for a long time if ever. Overall they provide good group utility and I consider them pretty much interchangeable with a mage in a 5-man party, and better than a mage in a PvP group. It's not a huge blow to mages though because the only class less played than a warlock is a druid.

Shapeshifting doesn't foil direct damage. Chain hamstring and we'll be quickly out of mana. If we catform (since armor's weakness is dots, which cats can stack) then a retaliation can rip us up if you maintain facing. Pop it and any smart druid will try to run and wait it out, but that turns their back to you. This means a druid will often counter by trying to root in caster and heal up/spell you. That can be trinketed/charged/shield bashed. Against a good druid it's not easy, nor should it be, but against a good warrior it's not easy for a druid to win (exception: pounce/mangle/rake/rip/bearform to wait out dots, but that's if they get the drop, same as a rogue).

As to your second point, how does making us EVEN with you (that's what viable means, able to compete) make you second fiddle? If druids in general are equal tanks to warriors in general, he with the most skill/effort into the class will be better. You're complaining that you will be picked after more skilled players.

warlocks:
pvp:
we are the strongest pvp class w/o question, even pve specked locks own
pve:
destro lock grind ridickilus slow and mana inificient, demon kill them farly eficient and aflicktion is a good grinding class
5-man instances:
you have curses that improve the groups damage and you have dots wich works well with elites that die a little slower, you have high burst damage and fights is slow so the fackt that your spells is 50% more expensive that mages spells isn't much of a problem

raid: (20-40 man insrtances)
we can banish wich makes us valuable in Molten Core and other instances (moam AQ20), we can mana drain wich is important in some raid instances (ZG, AQ20)
we don't just cast "1" spell (like mages just loop frost bolt) we cast all of our dots (wich is 2 if you are demon specke d:( )1 vs fire imune)) and like 4 if you are aflkciktion, and when all our dots are up we loop shadow bolt, our Curse of element and shadow increases the damage of your caster friends by atleast 10%, we are a very good class for everything I love my warlock

if you go Horde Orc is by fare the best race, 15% stun recistence is your friend in pvp, 5% pet damage is AWESOME if you are demon specked AND they boosted bloodfurry so it dose +123 spell damage at lvl 60, wich makes my shadow bolt do 1150 damage instead of 1050 damage in 15 sek (if the mob dosen't have any debuffs on)

formular is cast time / 3.5
so it's 3/3.5 x 123 = 105.4 extra damage on your shadow bolt and
1.2 x 123 = 147.6 extra damage on your coruption spell

so chosing undead would be lame unless you wanna pvp ALOT or you like the way they look

as alliance gnmoe or human are the best (and only) choice you have
gnome have 5% inteligence bonus but stamina is your main stat and they don't increase your inate inteligence just the inteligence from items, so it will only be a mana boost of 2-4% (depending on gear) in reality.
humans have 10% fracktion gain bonus wich you will come to realise is a freaking lot and unless you are a chineese faremer who plays atleast 200 hr's a week then you won't max all your fracktion wich means that the human bonus is IMBA!

when I play I farm rep or raid... and I am so so so so fare from having all the rep I want!

For balance, the jack-of-all trades cannot beat the specialist. Druid should never be as good as warrior at tanking (all else equal) or why bring warriors when you can basically get warriors who can also heal in a pinch?

If druid can tank as well as me, that leaves me with nothing over the druid. Thus I'm second fiddle. Not to mention there's tons of warriors on my server. I'm not sharing my tanking spot with even MORE people.

A protection paladin can tank equal or even better then a warrior, and they didn't take the warrior's place. Why would the druids do that?
#20 Dec 18 2006 at 4:27 AM Rating: Default
IMHO warlock is a good roll because it is not boring and dirrfent specs can be equally be appriciated, while other classes in end game tend mostly to for one spec for a least 75% of that class players (holy for healers, prot for warr). For race i went orc, but thats even because i decided before rolling that i wuold play demon so i can appriciate the 5% pet damage more than other locks, any race can work but for pvp unead will be alwasy a strong coiche for every class an undead can play.

:O

If that were true, then tell me why warriors are doing the tanking in raids.

Yes, we can tank, and yes, you can take a paladin instead of a warrior to a 5 man instance, but that doesn't make us better than warriors (save AoE tanking).

Paladin doesn't have taunt, defensive stance or as many hate building tools and is screwed if his mana runs out. That's where they fall short of warriors for tanking.

Go to the store (I like Gamestop) and buy it.

Then install it.

Then create an account.
