  • How To Kite Melee Cleave Commentary for Affliction Warlocks in Shadowlands WoW Arena by Chanimal
    Let me know in the comments if you enjoy this kind of content. It's pretty easy for me to make and think it'd be pretty helpful for people to understand my thought process and how to play a certain matchup! I tried to focus on the "harder" parts of the matchup (kiting / positioning) rather than the offensive part.
    Thanks for watching the video! Like, comment or subscribe for more if you enjoyed. It helps the channel grow a ton! :)

    I love these videos, I just started playing warlock in SL from playing rogue in cata like 12 years ago and they have been so helpful. Sadly hardstuck at 1700 still, but hopefully that'll eventually improve lol... I think a really helpful video would be one over all your pet management stuff you do with maybe key-binds and such, I know we all run sac or w/e but there is definitely moments were having that pet out would be clutch, or I take imp/sac against hunter teams for trap dispel, etc. etc... Only something someone who is really playing at the highest levels of the game could really explain in detail. Anyways thank you for the content!!

    Vs. comps like this as melee we sit pillar because going out to attack a lock/ele/spriest is death. If melee sit pillar, ranged (from my experience) get too greedy and they decide to push in. We HoJ and the lock is dead. Could be the same for spriest/ele.
    Chan has excellent tips on melee cleaves and anyone who listens to this and wants to improve will without a doubt be winning vs. them.

    Why do you cast Fear / Howl so rarely? Wouldn't it helping a lot especially against the ret destroying is uptime completely as well as you also have your UA as a dispel protection? Sure Warrior can berserk the howl, but you could just use fear afterwards as soon as it wents off?

    • @Michale000
      @Michale000 3 года назад

      If he needed to peel then yes but the ret was just waddling all game. It's better to just put more pressure out. Not only do you need to take advantage of your damage window but it can make them use mobility to just get away. If they do that then it's pretty much over.

    @DarkSephrus 3 года назад

    I do this shit every single game. It does not work vs TWD. Death grip spams and WWs is just impossible to kite. Warlocks are just not in a good place right now for PVP. Many people disagree but if you think about it like this; The 1 percent of top tier warlocks are doing alright but it's still hard. WWs/Warriors/firemage/boomkin/etc can play terrible and still win 80 percent of their games. Warlocks make one mistake and get punished for it then it's over. My lock is almost as geared as yours and it just sucks i haven't even been playing WoW because it's depressing.

      it can feel that way but this whole video is about how to extend that 'perfect play' indefinetly. if you run out of mobility option or get caught in a stun/spear of bastion you didnt play perfectly, and in fact used your options less than perfectly. or maybe you were outplayed wich is totally a part of the game.

      @Handcannon77 3 года назад

      @@joeinderbitzen1447 So what you believe is, melee are "outplaying" by pressing W the entire match while you are trying to play as perfect as possible in order to kite and survive and merely have a chance at winning, and if they press a single button to stun/spear you (of which they have 2 stuns and 1 spear, 2 of them on relatively low CDs and can easily line up favorably for them with your port/gate on CD due to having to use it earlier to avoid their mobility CDs) while you dont have mobility up you were "outplayed" and therefore deserve to die+lose the game? Lock can even individually play perfectly at higher ratings and still just die+lose against some of the stronger melee cleave comps simply because either 1. the melee didnt make enough mistakes on top of your perfect play or 2. your DPS didnt peel or otherwise use their utility near perfectly to help you or 3. your healer made a mistake. This is exactly why Lock is not meta and not very good, it can take not only perfectly play from yourself, but your teammates as well (and probably a mistake or two by the melee) in order to reliably win against cleaves, meanwhile they can make a multitude of mistakes and still win.

      @joeinderbitzen1447 3 года назад

      @@Handcannon77 its not about belief. i said maybe you were outplayed, my idea was getting speared on your port or soulshape or using port poorly like what is described in this vid, but if all it takes to outplay you is holding W then yeah youre definetly getting outplayed lol. Aff warlock is winning games at the highest level against melee cleaves, GOOD melee cleaves not people 'pressing W'. in this video you can witness Chanimal respect his opponents abilities and play around them. and he even plays around the mistakes of his teamates and makes a few himself.
