    *Timestamps!* Warlocks were my second fav class for TBC. This one time a higher level Paladin decided to gank me as Affliction in Arathi Highlands and it didn't go well for them, despite me being in combat with a mob too.

    Hey all!
    Hope the video was a good one. I know I had already had a bit of fun at warriors expense in the warrior video but uuhhh.. originally I had done this one first, so I left the thing in at the start.
    Also about the pvp remarks, im sure part of the calling it easy is my ongoing memories of playing a shadow priest in actual tbc and the amount of things you had to go right in order to beat an SL/SL lock whilst they literally could press 123 on their dots and win fairly easily. Maybe that was just me though!

    • @mattdayne2585
      @mattdayne2585 3 роки тому

      Nah WillE I agree with you. I entered TBC with a shadow priest and ended up rerolling to a hunter since I loved the pet management aspect of the class. My best friend at the time was a warlock. We knew each others account and passwords so we could play each other accounts if they were offline and were bored. I remember my buddy got hooked onto another game for a bit in TBC so I played his warlock a lot. And god damn, i felt like a PvP god whenever I played his lock. And i thought my BM hunter was OP meanwhile I remember easily being able to 2v1 people on my buddies lock easily in affliction or sl/sl. I even remember playing arenas with my lock buddy and would get pissed when he made simple mistakes, it came to the point where I knew his class better than he did.
      I originally was thinking about rolling a warlock in classic with mostly TBC in mind but made a warrior since I barely played any melee classes in old WoW expansions. Rogue is to squishy and cooldown dependent for my tastes. Most likely will use that lvl 58 boost on a lock. Already leveled a warrior, hunter and mage to 60, don't have the desire or motivation to do it for another class.

    Destro fire was great for pve, I was top of dps from start of tbc until Sunwell. There is actually a rotation! Immolation, incinerate and conflag. The base damage is actually higher than shadow bolt because you always had immolation up, only lapsing when you use conflag when it's about to expire. It also has a faster cast time, 2.25 vs 2
    5. It was amazing with hit and crit gear. You could also get a mini buff from a herb in zangermarsh that increases your fire damage for 15 seconds. Seed of corruption is still op, and alot of encounters weren't aoe until later raids were released. Basically every boss is single damage. Everyone has this weird mindset that shadowbolt is bis

    • @zayll4945
      @zayll4945 3 роки тому

      Slightly conditional because you need a fire mage to keep debuff stacks up, otherwise the Shadow Locks should surpass Fire.

  • @Spuck1983
    @Spuck1983 3 роки тому +3

    I definitely went fire lock. 7/0/54 ftw. I did keep separate gear for fire resist boss fights, like that bird (?) for example (otherwise i'd use fire dmg belt etc). Another fun bit was 2v2 arena. It was a shadow priest and i, so the opponents would quickly pop into shadow resist gear...only to get killed by fire. The tanking was easy as a fire lock ofc. Always used to end up 3-manning scholo and stuff (lock-priest-mage) before tbc and that just continued in tbc. The tanking gear in tbc was expensive, but the guild loves it when there's someone taking one for the team. (The other locks loved it too, cause their dmg was higher in comparison haha.) Fire is definitely underrated...

    A lot of rerollers will be shocked about the PvP "Performance" of Warlocks....There is multiple things people forget.
    Even in Originall TBC Locks only Dominated Season 1 and 2 there is multiple reasons why it will be harder this time around.
    1. Resilience changes .....in my opinion this never worked propper on privat servers and it is a huge nerf for locks
    2. People will kill your pet in seconds (in Season 1 and 2 back in the day ppl would not even bother to touch ur pet)
    3. EVERY Rogue will be Undead Horde side....
    But there is also good news.
    1. UA is still criminally underrated in PvP ,the dmg u do as UA lock is insane
    2. Open world PvP ....unless it is an Undead Rouge with Preperation ready u do not need to worry at all...jsut turn your monitor on 30 seconds after u get attacked and you will be fine.

    You want 1 point in Shadow Embrace simply because it counts as another debuff which counts towards the amount of bonus healing you receive back from drainlife. going full affliction till 70 is the way to go, it should last you until you get some pvp gear to go SL SL spec. Affliction "seems" weak only doing 350-400 dmg per dot, but you have like 7 dots that are all hitting for that much. I didn't even pvp on mine when leveling and guys tried to duel me and i killed them ridiculously easy, instant 20 sec CD howl of terror is WAY BETTER than deathcoil, save deathcoil against a healer when it gets to 30-25% health and starts to cast a heal and you win.

      For solo aoe farming, mage is still gonna be superior. But in a raid setting, seed of corruption is insanely good. You may miss all the mage's aoe utility like frost nova, cone of cold and blink.
      As well, remember seed of corruption is a casted spell, while mage has arcane explosion for when they're taking hits.
      All that said, seed of corruption puts out insane numbers for warlock, but they kind of rely on mages and/or tanks for keeping them safe while they blow things up.

    which spec is best for lvling. I know felguard is best if u dont have gear cuz the pet has dmg doesnt scale up that much with much better gear so the shittier the gear the more % dmg the felguard does relative to your dmg woudl be alot higher.
    But if u have some nice sexy gear would aff be better with the slutcubus for solo lvling?

    Feldoming a 2nd felhunter on top of your existing one will not refresh your cs, youll just feldom the exact same felhunter

    I’d be great if the Locks in Classic would stop ganking me with their dots, so I can only imagine how Hellsfire is gonna be.

    FYI, fire Warlock looks to be BIS spec if you have a fire mage.
