DoT = damage over time

check out www.wowwiki.com and "starting a class" guides.

I myself started a BE Warlock recently (just hit 40 today woot).

I read these to get some basic info:

I believe the next patch is nerfing the warlock's PvP abilities. Dots will now break Fear. However, I could be wrong. Oh god, I hope I'm wrong My main's a warlock and my favourite tactic in PvP is Deathcoil + Fear + DoT + DoT +DoT + Fear....rinse and repeat. With the possible changes, I might have to rethink a new strategy ie. hiding in bushes while slapping DoTs on every single thing that runs by.

For levelling purposes, I would recommend going Affliction until you hit level 50 before respeccing to Demonology for the Felguard (its tanking and DPS abilities make me wibble). This is just a personal preference. Maybe other warlocks could share their opinions?

pve = UA, sm/ruin

pvp = affliction/sl

felguard = crap

I'm all out for affliction. Insta howl of terror FTW, UA FTW, CoEx FTW!!!!!
I think I can win all in most duels EXCEPT THOSE DAMN BM HUNTERS WITH THEIR HUGE RED PETS THAT ARE IMMUNE TO EVERY #$%$%@#$# THING ON EARTH!!!

BM hunters pretty much own warlocks, unless that hunter downright sucks.

The only way i can win BM hunters is to curse of weakness his pet, dot him up and drain tank him, and then pray that my 12k hp is enough to last thru that 18 seconds of hell when he's immune to virtually all forms of CC.

Oh and I'm soul linked (27/34/0, changing to 24/37/0 soon), so it helps a little.

EDIT: As for munak, lvl your warlock as affliction. Make sure to get improved corruption, and improved life tap, and spec all the way down to dark pact and Unstable affliction. With imp life tap + dark pact you're a mana battery and your downtime from drinking to replenish mana will be very, very minimal.

Thx you monkeymafia and you too ray123
i got 1 question after the talent uadd what lvl u will be?

The talent build here are mostly posted from a 70's point of view. If that's what your question is asking.

yrshhhhhhh@@

Assuming you took the shortest route to Unstable Affliction (41 talent pts into the affliction tree), you will be level 50. From then on, you can put your points into demonology for additional survivability or destruction if you prefer to nuke your targets.

As for me, I went 42 affliction and the rest into demonology because I like the survivability of the demonology tree and the ability to do effective drain tanking with affliction. With a 42/9/0 build I went from 60-70 in about 1.5 weeks.

ur nub lolz

i hate j00 T_T

still goin on man? raiding or pvp'ing nowdays?

nah man, stopped WoW for a month or so to focus on my final year engineering thesis project lolz. After I come back gonna arena and pvp hardcore, and help out with some raids.

raid + pvp = tough shit... every week 100g man... lol

Not for a warlock lol.

In raids if a wipe is not avoidable, Hellfire. If oom, lifetap. Low on health, drain life.

Then if got free time go Nagrand look for mineral veins, sell bars/ores to cover repairs for accidental durability losses, or go Netherstorm farm Primal manas. Dot farming yields about 6 Primals in 40 minutes lol.

aihz i wish i also have /wrists on demand lol

I have a question, I have an alt affliction warlock who is lv44. It seems that my voidwalker can't hold agro if I dot dot dot wanding. I've been thinking of going demonology. The question is, can a felguard hold agro better?

Try the drain tanking technique. Even at level 30-ish my VW would lose aggro pretty early. All I do is just keep taking the hits while casting Drain Life over and over (maybe switching to Improved Drain Soul to regen mana at for the killing blow). As Affliction, the more Affliction dots you have on the target the more effective your Drain Life spell will be.

Pretty much meant I could exit combat having more life than when I entered it.

Just let the voidy cast his single target taunt twice before you begin to dps the mob, i'm sure the mob will die before he even turns to you.

You're level 44. Do not use the voidwalker. Spec for dark pact, use the imp as pet (phase-shifted). Dot dot dot dot drain life.

If you get confident, try dotting them up fear and grab a new mob

no
dont use imp, use succubus and deactivate teh autocast on the lash of pain... they deal more, can tank a lil and still have mana for ur dark pact

Succubus is better imo in solo at mid lvls, for groups better use imp for its stam buff and he makes a good mana battery when u mana tap him

BTW, felguard rocks in solo PvE if you have chance to spec it later

It works! Thanks! Though I have to wait for 3 taunts if the target is an elite.

yes, looking back, i do remember using the succy more often than the imp during the levels 20-50s. as spell damage ramped up though, imp is better because he regens mana faster and you don't really need the extra dps from the succy. unless of course you're on a pvp server, where evil rogues lie in the shadows waiting to stunlock you 100-0

You're very welcome!

Although for an elite, better just keep chain fearing him and all the while dotting him up. It kinda works for me, but I'm not sure about others tho.

So far I'm just using the VW to tank one target, do it up and myself dot up another target and chain fear it. They usually die at the same time ;p

As for elites, if it can be feared, it will die. Eventually. lol

hehe yep, the key word is "eventually".

Warlocks do it over time mah!

What is DOT?
lvl 14 now very happy

Damage Over Time.

its your spells that damage the mob over time. like Corruption, Curse of Agony, Curse of Recklessness blahblahblahblah. LOL

about the Imp/Succubus/VW debate. I still like VW at level 23 part affliction/demon spec (9/6/0 i think.), because I R NOOBZOR and VW srsly have so much more life LOLz

But..but..Curse of Recklessness doesn't do damage! >_>

oh yar. i sort of forgot about that. LULz

I R NOOBZORZ

when u get to lvl70, u find that u end up using Fear and Howl of Terror as a form of CC, believe it or not.

i sort of found that out at level 2X, that fear was pretty damn useful for 3+ v1 situations. xP

heh. true but when you're running level 70 instances, you tend to break the golden rule of not fearing mobs in instance. >.>

no choice. Even in DM i tend to attract more mobs than the main tanker LOL

If warlock is good, fear, COR, replace curse, refear and even better after warrior see that goin on drop hamstring. That one more utility in the group available.

Problem with fearing in instances is that mobs are often close together and you get a high risk of getting adds. But we are definitely great CCers in BGs, succy charm one, chain fear one, dot up a whole group of people, esp with siphon life and corruption. If you're affliction, after dotting them up, nightfall will proc like crazy, just life tap and SB. Best if you can find a bush to hide in, LOL, that worked for me pretty well in AB.

^ what kurei said.

They'll be like, where is that warlock. Then in the process of searching for the 'lock getting massive damage and eventually dying. XP

Yep this is really good especially if you're low in CC classes in heroic instances.

Fear pingpong-ing is ftw.
