Make warlock fun again

It’s absolutely atrocious how miserable they are to play. Everyone else gets so much more mobility and utility than we do.

While drain life was still usable, warlock was fun. It was easy to counter with counterplay.

You made every other class braindead and made warlock need a masters in calculus.

That is hilarious. First time I ever heard a lock tell a joke.

Locks are in an amazing spot. Most lock players enjoy them.

If u can’t play lock in its current iteration it’s time to find a new game

It’s boring as hell to play. You have to constantly be reading and predicting every little thing, thinking full minutes ahead in skirmishes while every other class can just press w and faceroll.

That isn’t fun. I don’t want to be required to tryhard in SKIRMISHES to not get instantly melted.

You are bad at double dps skirms so lock needs to be redesigned?

I’m not having fun having double melee just gun straight for me while i try to dodge burst windows while my teammate stands out in the open ooga boogaing then the second i break LOS they swap to him and he stands there and dies in 10 seconds

So your issue isn’t lock being unfun, it’s stupid RNG partners.

Got it.

Anything else?

Only spec that requires the ability to do calculus in your head is enh.

I used to play a lot of lock in PvP but recently transitioned to mage. The huge difference in utility is palpable. Being able to blink, alter, blink two more times while also getting all my health back, block, knock people back and wall off their whole team is just insane compared to anything locks have now.

Thankfully I prefer lock’s PvE mog this season so I’m not pressed to play mine in PvP at all.

Back in the day, this would have been manageable.
It isn’t now, because of how squishy warlock is.

So you want to win 2v1’s.

You like being overpowered then.

Got it.

I want utility to be able to compensate for bad teammates or hold my own toe to toe to counter the insane mobility and utility.
Predictable, high cooldown mobility but I’m not squishy or can heal myself back up against a player that doesn’t know how to kick? That’s fine.
Predictable, high cd mobility, extremely squishy, can’t heal myself against bad players (other than a healthstone and a nerfed mortal coil, both with long cooldowns), teammate has to play around me more than I have to play around him
Come on, that’s not okay.

I felt this a lot when playing with a rogue against two melee in 3’s or shuffle. If your teammate doesn’t peel for you there’s not much you can do after pact, port, gate, cookie, coil and maybe amp curse weakness (if talented) without blowing wall which ideally is saved for later after the opener.

After that you better get good at juking. :dracthyr_uwahh_animated:

Sounds like you should just get better at the game before you complain about your teammates

I juke and dodge. My teammate stands out in the open thinking its a skirmish and he can just stand out in the open and not peel.
You play a warrior.
You are the kind of player I mention.

Ngl if my partner was out in the open I’d use them as bait to be focused and peak out to land a fear/coil then dump all my damage. If they’re not focusing you then you have the upper hand for sure.

If you’re playing double dps it might be worthwhile to not take grim sac and use your succubus to cc one person while you blast the other. Demo is probably better in double dps since you have a lot more stuns available. Also if you see double melee and you know you’ll be trained just use the hero talent that summons the big demon to AoE stun for you.

Gonna be honest here, it’s just a user error kinda thing. Locks really good rn even in double dps 2’s. Rather than coming onto the forums yapping about how the game sucks. Instead ask for advice on how you can get better.

Lmao this is the most fun aff is ever been.

You have like 3 health bars to go through and if they don’t go you they die to ur damage instantly so skirms should be easy.

Most fun affliction has been was pandaria.
Or arguably Legion. Load them up and laugh as they melt.
When did you start playing?
It’s better than dragonflight, sure. I can’t speak for shadowlands since I sat that xpac out.
