Warlocks Getting Buffed

[Drasca]

The idea of an escape mechanism is one really good example of this. A 'lock that is properly prepared (i.e. has the right pet out at the moment) has a bagful of tricks to escape a given situation. A 'lock caught unawares is easy pickings, which IMO is how it should be. Why should warlocks have any better escape tools than any other class?

I'll repeat what I said to MJ. The enemy won't let you prepare. What can a warlock do on rez? Fear and run if someone doesn't target you for a powerul stun, fear, or snare.

Any abiltiy to get out of snares? No. Break or resist stun? No. Shield? Heal? No. No. Cover distances in short times? No.

These aren't escape tools. We have talentless no escape tools, only a talent costly very weak snare.

Sacrifice? You think the enemy's going to wait 10 seconds? Warlock pets disappear from regular felsteed riding. Someone sap you, stun you, snare you, dispel you, what then? Sacrifice? That's not an escape tool. That's an act of desperation.

You won't get the fear off while a rogue is sprinting off in all directions around you either. Line of Sight simply kills.

Warlocks are not on par. The chances of having a voidwalker out at all times before PvP battle are too slim. Our pets disappear by simply traveling around. That alone disrupts any theory that warlocks are on par.

Lissa's got it right. Anyone with half an ear to general chat, or fora know what classes are 'easy pickings'.

Oh, and Shamans EB/FS... or just kick everyone's ass. That works.

Watch out for enemy warlocks with felhunters out too, they'll devour soul link. Have trash buffs Underwater breathing and detect invisibility up. It helps.

MJ: Warlock PvP rank 3 trinkets have 5 minute cooldowns too.
