Quote:Regarding fighting warlocks, a warlock with a succubus is a joke. It's the ones with felhunters out that you want to worry about. They eat up your buffs, debuff the warlock (i.e. remove SW:Pain), and can do all kinds of stuff to mess you up.

Waste a fear. Bah, the fear would only last 2 seconds. You wouldn't have time to SB, and you're wasting DC/SB already. Besides, that isn't enough finishing damage. 2 shadowbolts is only 2-3k damage tops, from enough. DC/SB is another 1-2k, but that only gets to the 4k health minimum everyone has. The opponent is far from helpess at this point, because you've wasted charm and fear, and they've broken out of both.
That's an extremely weak battle 'strategy' that won't work against anyone but newbies in greens and blues who can't break out of &^#$ and wastes the warlock's shards and tricks.
Heck, you might as well shadowburn then charm, run away and shadowbolt from a distance, DC when they're up close, and SBurn again.
Then again, maybe the PvP'ers don't know what they're talking about. You know, when charm fails, when fear's broken out of, when that's not enough crunch damage even with over 300 +damage equipment and enough epic gear to make others drool.
Succubi have their many uses, but when charm is shadow resist based and every priest around has a cheap 10 minute shadow resist buff, an shield buff that sucks up damage every 30 seconds, charm and fear being on the same miniscule impossibly slow timer, and flash heals faster and more powerful than not, charms and shadowbolts are not the smartest option.

Pffft. Dispel addict. It was too easy for PvE too, and you know you had it easy. Warlocks were used to their fear mana cost increased (among other nerfs) far before dispels were upped. Crack-monkey forbid having to to give consideration about the magic hot button for panacea juice.
