wtb tips on beating rogues 1v1 as warlock assuming they know how to kick and gouge

[Smiffy]

I'm 100% confident you can keep fear on a rogue whilst DPSing on him. The fears may not last as long, but it's possible.



Unless the game mechanics from 19 and 39 are different.

The problem is that it looks like blizzard did not increase the amount of damage you can take while feared when they increased the overall damage. My fear breaks from a single Corruption tick.

 

[Smiffy]

That's probably my inexperience at 19 when it comes to warlocks.



Sorry about that, haha.

This should be moved to the auction house. Otherwise, roll with a healer. Rogues are opportunistic and will you are just a moving target to them.

pet on aggressive and toggle off firebolt autocast when you get sapped. (/pettoggleautocast firebolt)



if affli fear the rogue. apply dots from 40yd range in order: UA -> corruption -> agony. run away from the rogue, apply weakness when its in 40yd range with sprint, spam drain life/searing pain when its in shs range.



if destro fear the rogue. immolate from 40yd range (breaks fear) apply other dots and weakness while running away. conflag when rogue shadowsteps, pray for daze proc (forgot what its called). when rogue gets in range spam searing pain/drain life.



if rogue trinkets spam /sit so all attacks against you will be critical strikes so you die, ress at GY and (hopefully) get back in the game faster.

Don't bother - fear, dot, run away.

This thread just proves how futile it really is.

believe all classes with pets (not just hunters) lost the aggressive stance on their pets. so getting free rogue exposures from aggressive pets detecting them is gone.



back at WOTLK start warlocks due to gaining a bubble (sacrifice) were able to get double fears off on rogues and rope a dope dot them down with ease. did they lose that bubble at CATA?

 

[Hellmuth]

yeah, bubble gone...



thanks for help guys!

i lol'd a little.

yeah i used to trash rogues before cata, now with shadowstep its impossible, ive tried affli and destro, affli seemed to be better cause you can dot and run, also toss in agm after shadowstep, spam lifesteal while its still on, and pray you have the sp to kill him lol

yeah i read the patch notes right after making that post. fucking retarded change. havent tested the "assist stance" yet tho. does anyone know how it works?

Nakedplumber post something that actualy helps..

. any ways rogues are hard to beat as a lock because shadowstep, it makes it really hard to win so I would say practice against rogues you know in duels untill you get a techniques on how to beat them.

lol! {}{}{}{}{}
