i think how healthy a class is for the game should be determined by their ability colors
warlock and sp are the only purple classes in the game, they should be top of the ladder by definition (except aff)
So dumb gnome guy is fried confirmed thank you
Wait til you queue against competent casters as a melee.
You also ought to hear warlock meltdowns when they can’t stand in the middle of the map spamming cc and damage.
Warlocks who stand still get focused. If they don’t kite, then they deserve to die.

I agree with you. The problem is they still dont die most of the time, and soulburn port being a 15s cd vs any team with a melee dps or pet makes the “kiting” portion pretty faceroll.

Sure it was. WoW is just a perpetual open beta, we pay for.

I understand this might be hyperbole but it’s never going to be a 15 sec Cd. That would involve getting hit every time the internal CD is up which would most likely equal a dead warlock.
As for the pet, running Imp inst might be the play but you might get more value out of fel lord, ward, or observer. Depending on the comp obviously. Obelisk and summoner are pretty much mandatory so taking it as demo isn’t always a given. As destro, imp inst and gateway most def.
The ratio is the same. Obviously warlock with more hp is going to benefit more. 
Yea warlocks are the highest first kill caster in the game but lets ignore that.
Getting hit with a single melee or pet ability every 3s is a super normal occurrance from basically any comp in arena right now.
Not when theyre passively doing ~15-20k hps and another 5k hps with dark pact.
Ward or observer for sure, but I never see fel lord. It just doesnt scale and has a soul shard cost so it’s pretty bad atm.
If anything you’d play soul rip over fel lord.
Obelisk and observer are taken often, but also arent super worth into comps that can instantly and reliably kill them.
I feel like every lock takes imp instincts into melee by default.
Also, destro warlock exists, not just demo 
P sure across all metrics it’s moonkin and feral unless you count super low ratings?
If you’re getting hit every 3s then the port is irrelevant to begin with. You port (mostly) to create LoS with melee and to a lesser extent hunters. With rapid fire, KC, feign death, interrupts and their instant ranged dmg i find them trying to LoS casters more than the other way around.
Not sure you understand how leach or pact works. You have to do dmg to get leach, and it will never outheal melee dmg in a 1:1 ratio which would be the result of not kiting. Pact is a shield that benefits you the more health you have, it doesn’t heal you and it’s not constant.
FL can effectively act like a pillar to play around that punishes melee (cleaves particularly ) that won’t leave you alone while preserving your port and gateway. You can sac imps for more SS and trying to cast HoG, VF, or really anything before SB is asking to eat interrupts in that scenario. It’s a defensive ability like II but with more punch.
I addressed destro in the previous post.
Could this have something to do with them being a required kill target? If you ignore a warlock you lose.
So what conclusion do we draw? Warlock is a high prio target or they are just craaaaazy squishy
You know with the short CD 1M absorb. They absurd hp pool. 15 second port out of line/ freedom gate and double coil. SOUL LEECH
Ya I’m sure those stats imply the class is just soooo squishy

I mean regardless of what metric, warlocks are up there. So they can’t be that tanky like how every suggest they are. Classes like BM rip them apart regardless if warlock have another 200k-250k hp over other casters.
Oh yea the wall that requires them to be at max hp to have benefit, oh the 20% heal? Crazy OP oh you mean the port that requires you to get pounded for it to be a 15 sec? Yea nuts… while classes like mage get mutiple blinks, 2 ice blocks and infinite amount of roots.
pretty sure the made soul leech cosmetic in pvp
I would check but I’m walkin ere
what u forgot to say was amp’d weakness tho, that spell is rlly normal (not normal)
I’ll take what is “a sliver of foresight” for 300 Alex
