Afflic just did 13 Mil damage and sustained 14k dps the entire rated battleground. Not sure what to think.

It’s a pure dps class. There would be something wrong if it didn’t have the potential to do high amounts of damage.
This is not true. Like this is not actually a pure dps class at all. It has high amounts of cc and dispel/damage protection on all of its unreasonable damage.
Comparing Aff Lock with a pure dps class like dh is laughable. They are not remotely the same.

Demon Hunters can perform two roles: Tank role or Damage role, therefor are by definition a hybrid class. Warlocks have 3 damage specializations that only allow them to perform a damage role regardless of spec, hence a pure dps class.
Simply put, you have no idea what you are talking about

Did yall target the lock? Locks tend to die easily.

That warrior dude’s opinion doesn’t matter much. He does not pvp.

Not always, if the lock is good and has people keeping them up.

He doesn’t look to have done much of anything never mind pvp. Yet he’s new to the forums and already thinks he knows better than the rest, lol.

Are you and I playing the same game?
Because warlocks are literally a DPS class. And affi is the definition of a PVE spec. Having utility does not suddenly make the class “not a DPS class”.
Because then I can argue that all tanks are DPS specs since they have utility but can do damage.
DH with high mobility and raid cooldowns that can’t be kited isn’t remotely close to a Warlock.
Don’t worry about affliction locks, they’re silly
Lock bots 
All while being mobile and a Tank with CC.
Honestly Dot classes should go away. Especially in PvP it isn’t even fighting. Dots should be a minority of dmg.
Maybe make Dots do 75% less damage in PvP. Or bring back Resil 
The lock was on my team
If by mobile, you mean instant casting while moving because the majority of dots spells are instant? If so, I’d tread that slope carefully if I were you. You will open a can with more worms than you can handle.
No. They add flavor in contrast to braindead burst classes.
Affliction warlock can also burst.

Affliction locks have NEVER EVER ever…ever ever ever…ever added flavor.
Way to mobile and way too tanky with way to much healing. They aren’t a Dps class they are a problem. Locks have always been a problem getting in the way of PvP.
Would love to know the locks name and look him up. Every time I switch from demo to affliction I get a drop in damage.
Maintain Unstable Affliction on 3 things, then Agony on as many as you can. Siphon on something towards the middle of the enemy deathball, then soul rot a small pack of people and extend it with darkglare.
Do NOT get kicked on your big aoe drain.
Is soul rot the key here? I’m Necro on my warlock. I keep UA, Agony, and Corruption on as many things as I can but as soon as I have my DoT’s spread to my liking the enemies start dropping like flies. It’s easier to do in Epics, but in regular BGs it seems like there isn’t enough time to build up.
