I know rogues, dh, hunter, paladin are ez pz for them.
Which class is the best to counter lock, dk or warrior ?
You counter lock with another lock.
Also, don’t forget to tell your healer “let them fight.”

Arms actually counters warlocks pretty well.

I dont think warlock has a super hard 1v1 counter like frost mage vs ret for example.
I was gonna say rogue honestly. Maybe unholy.

Not sure what brackets or situations you’re asking about. I farm locks in 1v1 or 2v2.

The only things that hard counter warlocks are deep dampening… and some heavy movement or get one-shotted mechanic.

Shaman counter Destro
bwahahaha oh man
On paper, being able to dispel havoc, purge backdraft/haste proc, grounding, cap totem for shadowfury, tremor etc
but Destro Tank/GCDs makes it all not matter, the amount of times I’ve been mortal coiled by a destro thats lasso’d is embarassing

Fury Warrior
I played my sham the other day in 2’s and went ele for 1 game and got Destro/hpal. Thought to myself lucky choice. Destro even went succ so didn’t even have a kick entire game. I had high hopes.
Long story short lock got like 3-4 bolts off entire game yet still outdamages me and wins in dampening. I was not a happy camper. Of course my ele is like ilvl 438 but getting full lassos all day and tons of instant dmg vs a lock not being able to use 50% of his dmg and losing still is just so tilting.

Warrior. Zug Zug.
Ummm…
Rogues and DH are ez pz for locks?
When did this happen? Rofl
And ehats with ppl saying DH’s lose to destro snares? DH has ranged CC and as soon as thr snare is over they are right back on top of you melting your hp
With arms warrior support I can normally get the job done. Disarm right after lock snare followed by timing charge to disrupt their dash at halfway point. Then storm bolt at DH half health. This only worked on half the dhs cuz they forgot they had blur.
UH DK is a very hard counter. AmS you ignore all their fears and stuns, wraith walk gets you out of their root.
I can even easily burst them down and ignore their healer
BM can farm locks 1v1 if you play good; max range, beast within talent, interlope, FD and shadowmeld if you’re night elf means they pretty much won’t ever get a bolt off
BM scaled like a … well a beast in 8.3. They are actually scary
3s root + 200k chaos bolt good bye DH.
Yeh so 200k bolts dont just happen man. They start out low and have to ramp up, you know this surely.
DH’s are just letting bolts go off? I haveto get distance from them first using fear (if i can land it without being stunned or banished or kicked) or using coil (which if im full heslth wastes the heal component) then i need to get off a conflag and start bolting. The DH has ways to avoid me getting those bolts off ya know.
