Oh hi Mark

[Novacane]

I have never played F2P in my life and i was wondering if Warlocks are viable in any way?
I also haven't played WoW in about a year so i have no idea what's up.

I know the title is confusing, i didn't know what to write.

Well warlocks can get good burst ( around 1k depending on gear), the fear is a nice utility and you can get a leap which is nice if you are demo, or decent damage and a slow if you are destro, not to mention 2 heals and a soulstone.

I wouldnt suggest going out on your own in bgs though as a lock if your just starting up in F2P... I will let you figure out why xD, so if you know anyone else that is in F2P it is nice to have premades to keep matches competitive.

In terms of just general in game changes there was alot, to many to really highlight.

Hope that helps GL.

What a story mark

Yes warlocks are viable. Imps dont provide bloodpact anymore so you should mainly use succubus for a lash of pain macro and void for a disarm if you get bgs with too many hunts or rogues. destro has one of, if not the highest bursts in the bracket. Demo doesn't have as much burst but does good overall damage and has better survivability with demo leap. Afflic is in a sorry state with dots doing weak damage sadly.

If you want damage numbers or more details I can post/pm tomorrow

Thanks for the input. I'll take a moment to mingle over what class to play. Heared Rogues have less survivability then a turtle without a shell.

Go Hunter>Nelf>Survival= Rapage.[not a word]

Wouldnt say that, they still have a defensive cooldown (Evasion), and if you where really concerned you could go Nelf, which is like having a Vanish with their racial.

Contrary to popular belief most classes/ specs are playable, you just have to know your class's/specs limitations.

Warlocks are scary if you know how to position and cc.

i agree with what pretty much everyone said but i wouldnt roll a hunter youll have more fun.

locks have the 1st/2nd highest bursts in the bracket but are very underestimated and underplayed. lock is a fun choice but dont get discouraged if alot of your first few games you are playing it you dont do so well. it will take a little to get comfortable with the class and outplay the faceroll classes most randoms play because it rarely matters what descisions they make they still win. ok im done yes make a lock i would roll on Thrall Horde or AP alliance (thats where you can find me) but if you like bigger yet still quiet communities you can go to AP horde.

p.s. The loom staff makes alot of difference

p.s.s. Watch gingerlocks videos he's pretty amazing at lock @ 20

p.s.s.s. hi im chase

What a story, Mark.

I'll second what Kibbies said, and add that not only does demo have some nice survivability with the demo jump, but it's tons of fun. If you get swiftpots and stack stam, demo can be a really nice flag runner. The meteor spell is fantastic at slowing EFCs so your team can catch. Check out Bizr's demo lock video. Dig around for it, I'm too tired to find it right this second. But it's very inspiring.

As with most (if not all) casters, things don't get too exciting till you get the boa weapon. But if you can stick it out till then (grinding DMF tickets is faster than grinding all that JP) you'll have either a crazy jumping dotting CC machine, or a burst-O-matic EFC killer. Either way, a really fun and underplayed class.

Also, best f2p mount hands down

Finally!

I think i'll try out lock.
Had a 19 lock way back in BC, but i highly doubt the classes can even be compared today.

I'll make one when I get out of school.

I suggest going with the glass cannon set instead of the ordinary stam/int stacking

Horde or ally

[not a usefull post]

If i could describe warlock in few words it would be: beasts, Good, Rape shit, Thinks etc.

 

[Novacane]

If anyone could link a few armories of "BiS" Locks that would be greatly appriciated.

See Sally's guide.

Currently being updated for 5.3.

As of 5.3, certain gear scales in BGs. This means that some gear is better in BGs, while some is better out in the world. This section will take some time to update so feel free to use armories and 'gear choices' section but ignore the rest Please comment on this thread to help speed up the writing of this section!
