insert horrible pun here about moping up cataclysm here

State of warlocks 4.2

Today I’m going to try and go over some of the issues facing warlocks today in pve, in a “state of …” type post, they seem to be rather popular to be written about now. I’m going to try and stay away from listing “fixes”, blizzard has a ridiculous number of tuning nobs these days, they can fix things without to much hassle.

I also think that while all of our specs pull “respectable” DPS numbers, that doesn’t mean we aren’t “broken” and don’t have issues pertaining to the class. To quote a blue from some time ago (I believe it was GC at last years blizzcon, but I could be wrong), if the best rogue spec was to sit at range and spam knife throws/fan of knifes to do competitive DPS, that would be broken and in need of being fixed. While I don’t think we are in quiet as a extreme case as that, I believe we do have issues that could be looked at.

Also, in advance, I’m sorry, this sorta ended up being a bit of a wall of text, possibly the biggest I’ve ever written on here.

Of warlock “nerfs” and other patchy stuff

Ok, so I logged in today, and like most warlocks I went straight to the target dummys. What did I find?

Reasons why warlocks are better than mages.

Ok warlocks. I goto google. I type in “Warlocks are superior to mages” and I get a bunch of MAGE SUPERIORITY PROPAGANDA. Where is our warlock pride?

Its time to change this. Beginning here I shall blog the truth, and give reasons why warlocks are in fact far superior to mages (or any other class for that matter).  I invite other warlocks to stand up for warlock pride and do similar. Mages need to be put in their place.
