For the love of Azeroth - NERF WARLOCKSFollow

Would like to add something.

Everyone knows it is true that there is a lot of chatter about how overpowered Warlocks are and that they need a nerf. Regardless of whether they do or not, a lot of people are saying it. That is a fact.

WoW's PVP is considered something like the Rock - Paper - Scissors game. Warlocks are often jokingly refered to as fitting in that scheme as WMDs or Napalm or whatever sounds the most overpowered at the time. Even Shmii's signature is a play on this. (It is from World of Roguecraftâ„¢ 2)

This part is arguable but many people will agree that Warlock is the scissors to Warrior, Rogue and Mage. That does not mean these classes cannot defeat a Warlock. It means that it is generally believed for Warlock to have an innate advantage versus these classes because of their nature.

A census for all PVP realms says that:

Warrior, Mage and Rogue are the three most-played classes.

Its'a Mario time! ^^

*Ark jumps on the head of the warrior*
*Warrior is defeated*

I can not truly call a warlock overpowered, unless they have felhunter, Felhunter > Paladins, however Felgaurds vs Plate = Meh, he is annoying but I'll live.

A priest is what gets me, a healing class with f[i][/i]ucking strongest DoT ever. SW:P + random priests debuffs + shadowform + mind flay (slowed movment that BoF doesn't stop) + manaburn (I don't know its exact name I see it casted and I lose mana) + mind blast = Dead paladin, when I try to get the heal off I get silenced. bubble is likely on cooldown.


I feel sorry for warriors, its not fair that a paladin in lawbringer pvp blues + epics should be able to easily solo fully epicced out warriors. Its not even skill, warriors need a buff and fast.

It is hilarious to hear people calling for dots to end on the death of the warlock, if this went in you would have to do it across the board. I would love to see people living the results of these sour grapes when raids wipe because the priest who buffed the MT died and his buffs died with him.

A Shadow Priest is as much a healing class as a Feral Druid IMO.

Please stop talking in the third perosn. -_-

There is no global cooldown on tab. However, there is a maximum range of 30 yards. I know this because I can tab very slightly outside the range of my Warrior's charge (25y) but not very much further. (Also, I've tested it for use in macros, but that's another story). If you're in range of multiple targets you can spam tab to cycle through them as fast as you want.



It drops off Razorgore (first boss in BWL). It doubles Warlock pet damage and armor for 30 seconds with a five minute cooldown.

EDIT:
PS: Jord, I'm largely with you on this one but if you're going to insult people, you should at least be, y'know... accurate. Detect Invisibility of any variety does not increase Stealth detection.

Shaman?

I don't think that there's anything wrong with having all any and all magical debuffs wear off after the caster's death. This can be... inconvenient for raiding but it does make some sense. *shrug*

I would like to state for the record, Paranoia is nothing special. In tests, paranoia bought the warlock .7 seconds extra reaction time.

Wonder why you don't see many felhunters out in BG's? That's why.

I have yet to see one in BG's. Hell, I rarely seem them period.

Before this patch warlocks didn't have a DoT that required 41 points in affliction.

I'm pretty sure if Blizzard deals with this I know how they are going to do it, they will simply increase the damage per tic on DoTs and decrease the duration.

I don't fight warlocks without someone else helping me, it's a rule of mine. Grass is green, sky is blue and warlocks kill feral druids. Even with help, I'll usually die but at least the warlock will actually have a chance of dying too~

I don't complain though, since the patch feral has gotten seriously buffed. I will win against any other class more often then not, but I will still lose to a warlock every time. And that isn't even an exageration, I've never won against a warlock one on one O.o; (Well, if I out leveled them by alot, but it's sad if you can only beat a class if they are 8 levels below you)

Fear hurts alot... I can trinket out of one, but all it takes for a second to land for it to be GG. I can't hope to out heal the DoTs. I can't stun lock to prevent fears being cast. I have no tricks up my sleeve that can overcome being fear/dot'd.

So while I will stay and fight any other class, I will always run from a warlock. Hope that travel form will put enough distance between us so I have the opportunity to heal myself before the dots kill me.

With TBC, I'll have a partial ability to stunlock (highly gear dependant) and I'll have a small resistance to fear. So with alot of luck and skill, I'm hoping to manage a 30% win rate at 70. We'll see if it works out like that though, maybe I'm a little too optimistic ^^;
