    Extra s p o o k y intro
    Sorry if its a bit loud - its kind of meant to be. Just trying new stuff.
    End of series, bittersweet for sure, the Classes are the key interest for me in Classic.
    Plenty more planned and to come. Have a professions vid drafted, will probably end up being REALLY long, as well as much more.
    Also, im getting a new mic!
    Check me out on Twitter for updates and thanks all so much for the support! 2 weeks to go, we nearly home :)

      The only fault I've found in your videos was the mediocre mic quality, so that's great! I've been watching a bunch of Classic videos this past week and yours stand out as being the most accurate, useful, and satisfyingly comprehensive. As for this video specifically, I've now realized I wasn't fairly considering warlock just because they weren't topping the meters.

      As a vanilla lock, in a WSG match I once had a teammate rage at me over BG chat because ‘I didn’t heal them, so they died’. I guess they saw Whitemane’s Chapeau on a Forsaken and just assumed I was a healbot. Or maybe they just had some strange ideas about warlocks.

    I mained a Lock from release until midway through WoLK when I quit. A well geared warlock is basically a walking turret with soul link and unless the opponent had a personal healer or plenty of backup, it was hard to lose a fight. We used to place bets within the class channel during raids on who could re-banish one of Garr's elementals as close to 1% HP as possible, just to piss people off. Ahhh the good ol' days.

    I never played WoW, but I always like the small details everything has. Like the fact that your summoned demons can break out of your spell and rampage around or that your spells use up actual soulstones. In the actual gameplay I could imagine this ending up quite tedious, but in regards to roleplaying your class this seems great fun. In general how diverse the classes were.

  • @Michael-kd1ho
    @Michael-kd1ho 4 года назад +11

    My first character that made it to 60 was an orc warlock. I liked the lore, and an orc warlock was a very intersting character for me, even though i didn't RP. The immersion through class quests for demons and especially the dreadsteed quest is something i still remember fondly more than a decade later.
    I was a masochist though, so i leveled destro. Really liked the spec.

  • @IAMDELEATEINGYOU
    @IAMDELEATEINGYOU 4 года назад +12

    I remember leveling as full affliction. I had no worries grinding in contested territories as I would spam fear the other player and unload like 6 dots on him while my void tackled him mercilessly. I was farming those mini drakes (the ones that dropped the pet) for income and would always have to fight other players for the territory. Good times :)

  • @magnusasgeirsson7244
    @magnusasgeirsson7244 5 лет назад +8

    The most used pet I used as a warlock in classic was the imp with phase shift on. It was a mana battery and then you used the affliction spells and waited for everything to die while you drained one of the mobs.

  • @Dartheomus
    @Dartheomus 4 года назад +14

    One of my favorite memories of (almost) vanilla wow was a guy on my server who was 5-boxing a party of affliction warlocks. (It was actually in TBC.) In either case, he had 5 level-cap locks that were all controlled by him, and he'd just walk around PVP areas and just decimate anything that got close to him. The other absolutely awesome thing he somehow managed to do was auto-control the characters to position themselves so they would be evenly spaced around a circle. The pets were placed on the lock that was across from them in the circle. Then they would funnel health simultaneously to make a glowing pentagram. It blew my mind. =P

      Ten Reasons to Play a Warlock
      The first reason why should be first on this list,
      We summon up demons with a flick of the wrist.
      They obey our commands and fulfill every wish,
      Like letting us win at Old Maid and Go Fish.
      Number two in the rank is quite mean I'll admit,
      Our curses and fears give casters a fit.
      We blast them all day as they shiver and shake,
      If we run low on mana they've lots we can take.
      I think my favorite so far is the third reason why,
      It's just too dang hard to get us to die.
      Try as you might it's unlikely we'll fall,
      If we start to get weak we'll Death Coil you all.
      Number four is next so listen right up,
      A great PvP pet is our Felhunter pup.
      You might think that's not much and you'll soon be the winner,
      Until you see all your spells he's having for dinner.
      Should I mention the fifth, its not good, it's not great,
      When asked by the group we can summon a mate.
      If you beg us too much well start to get pissed,
      And type in your name on our long ignore list.
      Number six in the count keeps our gold in the bank,
      We're not gear dependent like some poor hapless tank.
      Your mounts cost a lot, 'bout a ninety gold fee,
      I'm happy to say that our Felsteeds are free.
      Number seven has arrived and it's finally here,
      I've wrestled with this for almost a year.
      Our Succubus pet makes the teen boys just whimper,
      Beg all you want, I'm not going to pimp her.
      Eight is up next, and I'll cover our gear,
      Our epics are great, dissent I won't hear.
      Our Robe of the Void is sure pretty neat,
      Only issue I have is that I can't see my feet.
      Nine after eight and it's merits I'll chime,
      Don't look for a priest when it's group forming time.
      Why heal your wounds when you start to get sick,
      Our health and soul stones will work just as quick.
      Ten is the last of a long fruitful list,
      I'm sure that some of my points have been missed.
      I know that the 'lock is the best in the game,
      You can play something else, but that's totally lame.

    @lrognolmakinitreal6268 5 лет назад +43

    Love the Series it contains a lot of good info in each video. My 2 cents on Warlock (I apologize about the length of this post). Hope this might help some with the "Big Decision" come classic. My Background I mained a Gnome Warlock all through launch of Vanilla until WoLK, got Rank 13 back in the day and Raided through partial Nax so this is based on my experience of the class/race.
    PVE: The biggest downside are the soul shards (you never have bag space). You need to farm them as mentioned and you will use them up very quickly. You are generally expected not only farm shards but to be at the raid entrance 20-30mins prior to start time to help summon those un-prepared players that are late/far away. Even then it’s always a hassle to get the other people to then click your summon portal for some reason. Each summon costs 1 soul shard and you will generally summon 10-15 people each raid even in an organized guild. It vastly helps to have engineering to allow you to teleport to gadget and winterspring and beat others to entrances of raids.
    Soulshards are also used to create Healthstones. You can only create one at a time and usually you need to give them to all melee classes in the raid and obviously the Tanks. This is another hassle because people just don’t pay attention and you have to open a trade window and trade these one by one. After a wipe and throughout the raid you will need to refill people on Healthstones this is tough if you are the only warlock which happens sometimes.
    Your responsible for the Soul Stone to be up 100% of the time unless on cooldown. This is easy but still something to remember. Your utility is what makes you valuable to raids. You will almost always use your imp. At least one warlock will be in the main tank group since you need to provide blood pact you will place your imp close to the tank since it has a short range and leave them phase shifted so they don’t die and renew fire shield on main tank.
    You will pretty much place your assigned curse, then corruption and spam shadowbolts and pop trinkets. Some fights you might dispel some with your felhunter or banish adds.
    PVP: This is where being a gnome (alliance) hurts. Yes, you could hide in bushes and get out of snares. However, your main CC is fear and over half of the horde are undead and or have some fear breaking ability in addition to a PVP trinket. You don’t have a great peel spell other than deathcoil which has a long cooldown and it can be shadow reflected. Worst yet you don’t have any given movement increasers and only a 10% chance to daze in the destruction tree and an underwhelming curse of exhaustion in the affliction tree to decrease a player’s pursuit. Once a melee is on you it’s tough because you experience spell push back which makes casting take forever and if they circle around you it can cancel your cast if you don’t keep facing them. Cast times are long and you very rarely get to sit there and just unload. Your dots are all dispellable and can be rendered useless in a lot of cases against skilled players. You always feel split between strategies of using felhunter, voidwalker, or succubus. I always opted for felhunter because it provided the most utility. SL while awesome survivability it also decreases your damage output significantly due to the talent points you need to spend in the demonology tree buffing your demon who doesn’t do much damage. You will also experience your pet dies pretty quickly with SL on, so it’s used situationally. I always pvp’ed as destruction because it was fastest damage dealing spec and I could get away with raiding with it and not re-spec unless in AQ40 or Nax. Destruction was always awesome to nuke a flag carrier once bunkered in the flag room as long as the flag carrier was CC’ed, didn’t LOS your casts, or spam dispel. Chasing after someone really left you without an option unless you pop a swiftness pot or use some engineering. Overall you can still outplay most players but it’s truly about skill. In the most general terms and my experience I will say on a 1v1 basis Warlock will beat a Hunter (when not at a huge distance), Warrior (as long as not undead or overly geared), Mage, Paladin, Druid (as long as they aren’t running away). Against Priests as long they are not undead or dwarf it’s 75/25 mainly due to some key factors and shadow ward being a big advantage for warlocks. Shaman and Rogues are just hard counters when well manned.
    In Battle Grounds you will usually hand out healthstones to people who open trade with you.
    Here are some of your strengths in Battle grounds:
    AV- You are a good tower watcher due to survivability and close proximity to non-melee classes. You also have an AOE fear and can AOE damage to check for stealthies. You can also AOE in big battles with Rain of fire and spam fears to just be an annoyance. You also have range so you can hide in the back of a pack of people.
    Warsong Gulch- With SL and tricks you can carry the flag but healers need to heal you and your pet which can be hard. You can defend the flag carrier and spam fears but ultimately you will usually be on the pursuit to recover the enemy flag.
    Arathi Basin- You are again a good defender due to survivability and good attacker as long as you are in a group.
    World PvP- You can really shine here if you pick your fights. If you are getting ganked the only thing that is your saving grace is your pet is usually tanking the mob and hopefully you have deathcoil up and a void shield available.
    SOLO: This in my opinion is where the warlock shines. You are able to solo farm so much content. There is a lot of room for creativity.
    In my opinion you really need to be a team player to play a Warlock. There is a lot you can bring to your team as far as utility but if you don’t want the hassle don’t play this class. Overall with gear the class scales well but unlike melee classes you never get huge improvements all at once (like a new weapon) it’s a combination of gear and effects that make you stronger.

      Thanks so much giving perspective for someone who played it back in Vanilla - this will be my first time on the lock in Classic based on my decisions made in these vids.
      I hope that I gave a fair enough representation for the Class, despite my hype to get started!
      I will be rolling a gnome and as you say, i'm expecting to get bashed about by a literal horde of undead rogues - Death coil comes pretty late in leveling too, that's a sacrifice ill have to make by choosing Alliance!
      I see what you mean with the hassle, trading stones, summoning etc, generally making up for other people tardiness, I think many people are a bit older these days and will (hopefully) appreciate the value of other people's time a bit better.

    I had a blast with Warlocks as well. Though not as much as some other classes, when I did play one I recall releasing demons in Goldshire for some good times. :) I recall a Warlock quest where you had to get some robe early on. I seem to recall all the quests to learn the various demons to be very interesting. Like in Desolace (which I liked better back then).
    One think about Classic Warlock demons, they didn't have the voices back then. I still remember when they introduced that voice to the Voidwalker and hearing it for the first time and being creeped out wondering where that voice came from (it was someone else's voidwalker). I don't recall when they introduce the voice sounds to certain demons, but some may notice they are a tad quieter in Classic (unless they decide to leave that in).

    Thanks to the Voidwalker, Warlocks were the only solo DPS class that was already aware of managing their aggro back. Back in my old progression guild Warlocks were reliable, though the minimum number were generally taken due to Mage DPS being higher.

      Warlock DPS could be absolutely insane in vanilla but we would instantly pull agro. Warlocks had to manage DPS even more than mages.

    there is addon helping with Soul Shards managment - "SoulSort is a lightweight Soul Shard management addon that helps you keep your Soul Shards organized in your bags. The addon sorts all Soul Shards to be at the end of your bags (as far left as possible). SoulSort includes an optional Soul Shard limit and automatic sorting that runs when you leave combat."

    • @Jiigeri
      @Jiigeri 5 лет назад +1

      Necrosis has similar function built in, with a lot more including dot timers, fear immunity warning and spell tabs for less necessary spells, such as summoning, water breathing etc so you don't necessarily need them on your bars. Instead of sorting soul shards to a side of a bag, you can choose the bagslot it moves shards in (before you get your first soul pouch ofc) and has limiter for amount of soul shards.

    The improved shadowbolt talent is also affected by spell hit, meaning even if you crit with a shadowbolt, there is a chance the effect can be resisted, so there is a double dip on this effect and further increases the impact of the value of spell hit.

    In PvE you forgot to mention "drain tanking". With the right build you can just pull mobs, suck their life out, dot them down, fear, and repeat. Never run out of mana, never run out of health, pulling multiple mobs.

    Just got into Warlock this June. Got tired of my guild having so many melee, it was a real cluster-mess in raids; also, we didn't have a lock so the fel-cookies were sorely missed. I really enjoy playing it these days, so I'm really looking forward to having a look at it how it was. Wonder how I'll adjust to the Soul Shard when I actually get into Classic :D

  • @randyranderson690
    @randyranderson690 5 лет назад +1

    Keep in mind that Fear is a mixed-blessing with Classic's increased aggro ranges when mobs call for help, even feared. Also the mount is free at 40 BUT the upper level mount is a class quest that requires a group at times. Also please keep in mind the hordes of players that will be swarming the area at launch, making leveling hard since everyone is after the same mobs (one of my favorite memories from when I started back in 2004). Also raids need warlocks because of one single spell: Soulstone for the raid's priest. If you don't have a priest for rezzes, you better have a hunter with engineering (goblin Jumper cables) in the event of a raid wipe.

    Imp > voidwalker for leveling in classic, the void walker is situational at best for leveling, the imp is steady damage, where as the void cant hold aggro at all and will frustrate you more than help you. VWs just impotently melee the mob as it hits you anyway because it generates very little threat and once the mob is on you after dots rip aggro, it isn't going back to the VW. Use the imp or later succubus(decent for PVP situations) for leveling.

    • @magnusasgeirsson7244
      @magnusasgeirsson7244 5 лет назад

      No you let the imp be the mana battery it is supposed to be and drain tank your self

    • @Evirthewarrior
      @Evirthewarrior 5 лет назад +2

      @@magnusasgeirsson7244 Bad plan. Triangle method and kiting is the best way, you have your imp attack, so the mob runs to the imp first, you run along putting dots on as you stand off to the side, forming a triangle between you the MOB and your imp. It exploits the pathing of the MOBs the best. Wand to finish them up. It doesn't have to be a perfect triangle but that is the basic idea.the best method is to take as little damage as you can, and spend as little mana as you can, so you have very little downtime. Think about leveling being a gauntlet of enemies and you are in combat as long as possible killing them, and outside of combat as little as possible.

    Void is really underrated for pvp, also. The sacrifice is so much health and it really shores up the traditionally weaker fights while not losing much in others. Makes you virtually unkillable by warriors and rogues, makes hunters more 1-sided in your favor than they already are/prevents you from getting gibbed if they get the jump on you, and its just as useful against mages as anything. It's decent vs other locks when you can catch their pet in a banish. You have the extra time buffer, they dont. It really only suffers against priests, which is a tough fight anyway and not really your job in organized pvp. You just spread tongues to them and let a rogue or hunter handle them. It's very, very underrated.
