Why doesn't anyone play Warlock?

Destro is friggin' fun and can absolutely wreck faces, assuming the other team isn't completely stacked with Rogues. As long as I don't literally get one-shotted by a Rogue, I'll win. Hunters lose out 1v1 too. The only things that give me any sort of problem consistently are Rogue (for the aforementioned stupid 1hko issue) and also Arms Warriors with super high health. Seriously, give it a try... You actually have a lot more control than you think.
 
It requires more t(h)inking...?!

I don't remember any mention of "thinking". Let's be honest, we're talking about the 20-24 bracket... It's like a step up from playing Rock Paper Scissors. However, it is refreshing to sit on the faces of the all the mouthbreathers playing Rogue, Hunter, Shadow Priest, and Arms Warrior right now that think there's some secret I-Win button.

Locks are just as, if not more derpy than those classes, they're just worse.

Yes, let's split hairs by arguing how "derpy" specs are, considering every single class and spec in this bracket only has a tiny handful of skills available to them, period. And again, they're not worse unless they get insta-gibbed, and let's be honest, that's the truest test of legitimacy in this bracket, right?
 
u should try a demo lock . they have a lot more survival with demo leap and can put out a ton of damage with

hand of guldan
coruption
curse of enfeeblement
hand of guldan
then shadow bolt spam while you fel energy dump your sucubus
as soon as its out of energy instant summon another and dump its focus as well

i also sugjest u use a sucubus lash of pain macro and take it off automatic for destro as well . then u can mash ur conflagerate while u lash of pain for even more burst. just a thought

I don't know what kind of frost mage or arcane one / hunter you are facing tho, even disc :(

Lash of pain is already their auto attack, isn't it?

Lash of pain is like a hunter pets smack or bite. It has no cool down but it uses 60 fel energy. By keybinding the sucubuss lash of pain u can energy dump your demon for better timed burst . I know some people use a macro that uses conflag and lash at same time for a lil extra burst . I myself have scroll up to interact and scroll down to a pet attack macro that uses the demons standard ability whether it's the void walkers torment or sucubuss lash . That way I can fel energy dump my demon while I burst as well . U can use the fel energy dump as demo more effectively cause u can instant summon a demon for 200 demonic furry . So what you would do is set your dots on target then go meta form and spam shadow bolt while u dump ur demons fel energy . After about two shadow bolts you should have just used ur 4 lashes and ur demon is outa energy . Instant summon a new one and dump it's energy as well while u spam more .

the sucubuss has an auto attack that shows up orange the lash of pain is a special move like bite or smack for a hunter pet .

I know now I probably repeated myself in ther but hopefully this answers any questions

P.s. On a trial acc lash hits for 160 non crit so summoning a second demon is about 640 extra damage in 4 sec assuming no lashes crit .

Destro has great constant burst. When I still had my warlock, I could tell my burst was a surprise to most.
 
Lash of Pain is great for lining up burst but I really enjoy going glass cannon and rolling with my Imp. Seen some bit numbers from that little guy. Lock is rocking 305 Spell Power and about 26% Crit. Without being best in slot/where I want it to be when finished. Fun stuff.

lol anyone who says there terible in pvp ... are you a jaja? if so go back to your pally, sure they take a brain but destro has some of the higest burst in the bracket, demo awsome survivability even affliction is viable with pvp chants
so find your 3,4,5 and 6 buttons and try one before u say they suck
 
mainly because they're terrible in pvp "if they're not geared properly". but i do play on my lock in pve though.

either ya didn't read it or ya have better gear on your lock than i do.
