Bored of tanking and healing

Classes Warlock
1

I’d like to play a DPS class. I primarily pug m+ and tanking and healing has gotten… stale. I’d like to switch it up and was thinking of a lock or rogue.

Thoughts between those two? I enjoy playing a caster, but in the past have found mages to be somewhat boring. I haven’t played a lock for a long time.

Are groups difficult to get into as a lock? Would you recommend it over a rogue?

short answer, go rogue, assassination to be specific
long answer, go enhance shaman, because of short CD, biggest burst in 1T to 6T target cleave and pretty good in big pulls as well while having the ability to cleave off priority target, and the IRREPLACEABLE lust and you can still buy brez to replace any brez in AH

for warlocks

  1. you dont want to play a class with no burst, except demo, but the setup is tedious and one mech on you can screw your implosion timing like on mythic brood
  • because as a spec with no burst, you are useless when others decide to press their buttons and delete adds within 5 seconds(+1~+11 keys & mythic nerub), the only place you cant feel useless is around +13 keys, but its not easy to get into a +13 pug key because you arent a meta class and your brez have been replaced by a brez tool that anyone can use
  1. too many things to press every wipe
  • every wipe in raid, you will need to summon pet, soulstone, cookies and closet for people who click release every single wipe while begging people to click it so i can continue my PRE-PULL ROTATION… PRE-PULL ROTATION BRO!! HAVE YOU SEEN THIS WORD BEFORE?
  1. too many setup in AOE

  • for aff, you need to make sure your haunt and UA wont fall off while you spend 6~8 seconds to setup your AOE rotation(seed+vile taint+soul rot+dark glare), again, one mech on you means the adds are already at 20% hp, while constantly monitoring your shards to make sure you have enough to spend next pull

  • for destro, not as much setup, but your main AOE ability is RoF, and this spell is the worst AOE spell in the game, you spend 2 or 3 shards to send a RoF that last 8 seconds, if your party member/raid members decide to press their cooldowns, all your RoF can do no damage because its also the worst AOE spell, damage wise

basically for AOE encounter/adds phase, the only time when you can do enough damage is when all your party member/raid members’s keyboard suddenly stopped working

i would pay $20 dollars for a class reroll to shaman, thats what i feel about warlocks right now

Are groups difficult to get into as a lock?

yes

Would you recommend it over a rogue?

no

Forget lock, go Rogue / Enh. Shaman / or even Ret.Paly

Above post pretty much says it all about locks. On top of it Devs dont give a sh** about locks and will continue to ignore them. You won’t get invites to groups, for all your work you will see every other class 2 button smash their way to the top M+ or Raids.

I’ve recently given up on warlocks and rolled an Enhan. Shaman. I do miss my Warlock but with the way class tuning is right now you can keep your lock in the Trash.
