INB4 - Who cares or Wall of Text crits you for 1.2k
Hello. To the "Committee", thanks for including me in this list under the Warlock section.
While I doubt anyone could find it ANYWHERE in writing that I considered myself better than anyone or that I have bragged about my play, I have always felt I was fairly good at warlock throughout my 19 days. I played Druid in Vanilla and lock from the start of BC on...
The OP stated that this list was more about 19 twinks that played during CATA and MOP. I will say that my commitment to the 19 bracket was not there during that time-frame and that I considered myself average to slightly above average in my lock play during that era of 19 twinking. For that period, I don't deserve to be on this list... BUT... For the simple fact that I am one of the oldest, both in age and time playing 19 warlock, I feel that a case can be made to remain on this list.
During BC and Wrath is where I believe I am deserving. For my play and for efforts in the 19 twink community.
My community efforts from BC to Wrath were great IMO. This site and the things I did to enlighten the community could land me on the list by itself.
In BC, I was considered by many to be the best lock in the Vengeance battlegroup. This wasn't hard since there weren't many locks playing then. I was also one of the only locks fake casting fears back then. I felt I was pretty good then, but there wasn't much competition.
In Wrath, I worked hard on my locks to get Naxx shoulders, 450 profs, etc... I was running with some great guilds that provided support that made me look pretty good. When I pugged w/o them, obvious things happened.
As I said, I wasn't very active in CATA and MOP.
I'm not going to comment much on other classes, but I will talk a little about 19 Locks.
Here are the locks listed:
- Dorigon - very good lock that surrounded himself or herself with other great players, which helps a lot as a lock.
- Maineack - Same exact write up as Dorigon.
- Slique - No idea. Don't know who that is.
- Drayner - see above
- Youredead - only saw this one a couple times in those stupid midchop games. Nothing to really judge a lock on.
Here are some other locks I'd like to mention, not necessarily for the HOF...
- Befuddle - This lock impressed me in Cyclone since he/she was one of the 1st I had witness that through stamina out the window and played purely with Spell Power. It changed how I played a little too.
- Sidni - I am not saying she's good, but she's the 1st to take a 19 lock or any 19 for that matter in the US to 250,000 kills. That and she's my original twink guild co-GM. /love Sidni
- Captnjack - Met this one on the PTR and learned a lot from a couple duels. Played lock in a way I had never thought of during BC.
- Exorcism - Great lock I played with some during Cyclone.
- Gimmesouls - Former nemesis from my Vindication days. I felt I was better, but he was pretty good.
Anyhow. Just my 2 cents. Thanks again for including me.
90% of the people that will view this thread probably never saw me play prior to CATA or MOP anyhow.
Shameless Plug. Make 19s on Emerald Dream, a vanilla private server by Feenix. It's tough to level and worry about conserving XP again, but I am having a ball making my new lock over there.
