Blue PostsWarlocks

Bashiok

Into the fel flame I go...

Warlocks look pretty good at the moment. There are probably some tweaks that can and might be made to bring some things up a bit. The issue is probably more that there aren't any fights where warlocks really shine, and they're just consistently good. It's a stark contrast to Mists where warlocks shined in everything... everywhere... all the time. Neither situation is ideal, and it's something we're keeping an eye on.

Trapping

Rygarius

We've been observing feedback on the topic and wanted to give a heads up on two hotfixes that are currently undergoing testing (not ready yet) to address these concerns.

Increasing the spawn rates of elite creatures used for trapping.
Deadly Iron Trap will require players to have tap credit on the creature being trapped.

The hotfixes that were in testing from last night have been implemented and should now be active.

Garrison Buildings - Barn

Tödliche Eisenfalle now only traps an elite creature (Terrorzahnalpha, Eisenfellbulle, and Sumpflandtrampler) that the player or party has tap credit on.
Spawn rates for Terrorzahnalpha, Eisenfellbulle, and Sumpflandtrampler has increased slightly.

Flight Path Improvements in 6.1

Takralus

We are making some huge improvements to the way flight paths work in 6.1.

There are hundreds of flight paths in Draenor. The way it works right now, if you don’t know a flight point, the flight master won’t use it as a connecting node when you're travelling from point A to point B. If you've missed a few flight points (which is very easy to do), this means certain flight paths are be much less efficient than they could be.

In 6.1, flight masters will use flight points you haven’t discovered as connecting points. This will make things much more efficient.

Kommentar von Talonosfinnaly a fix for trapping. spent well over an hour last night for like 5 traps due to horde taunting away from my traps and stealing the mobs.Kommentar von Kjeldor33small typo:

"Imperator Mar'gok's loot is ilvl 650, and it can come with an extra socket, as Warforged, and/or with a Tertiary stat."

should say 640 :)Kommentar von perculiaFixed! I'd just been working on some Foundry loot guides :)Kommentar von MeggleLackluster response to locks is lackluster.Kommentar von GmJohanstorI have played a destruction warlock since late BC. It is my main toon and really, the only toon I care to play to be honest. The bottom line is this, warlocks are not very good at this point. Yes, they were really good in LK/Cata/MoP but that doesn't mean that they should totally get screwed like they have this expansion. A few points...

1- Rain of Fire currently no longer generates burning embers, also its damage was reduced significantly. This spell is currently of no use at all, the damage it does is terrible and without the burning ember regeneration that this spell used to provide before being hotfixed shortly after WoD release warlock AoE is thus no good either. RoF was the bread and butter of warlock AoE, you regenerated burning embers super fast and you could maintain a constant AoE of incinerate/RoF until the mob was dead. Now you can pretty much throw down the useless RoF we have now and single target the rest of the time. Even if you use charred remains as a talent, it is still not that good. And it is not the best talent to use.

2- Kil'jadens Cunning lasts for only 8 seconds, that's enough time to cast 3-4 incinerates or 2 chaos bolts. The nerf this talent received after patch 6.0.3 is ridiculous, one of the nicest things about warlocks was the ability to cast incinerate while moving, why get rid of it? Because the mages didn't have that functionality? This is another reason why warlock dps is not so good. It should be restored to its old functionality, honestly, any/every ranged dps/healer should have some sort of move while casting functionality like the warlocks did, we waste a lot of time moving around and avoiding stuff and not taking care of the boss when we should be able to at least throw some spell out there to maintain some dps and keep people healed.

I really don't feel like the warlocks are going to be great this expansion, blizz has said in the past that they were all about "Class Balance" but this seems to always happen to some class, getting nerfed so bad. Warlocks were a great class to play prior to WoD, really good dps if you knew how to play them. Now they are lackluster at best. Hope blizz fixes warlocks.Kommentar von lankybritFlight paths aren't really getting fixed at all. They still use the silly concept of using other flight paths between end-points. Going from A-B in a pretty straight line should be the goal. Oh well, it's better than nothing.

You really should update your Imperator Strategy Guide for LFR, because as it stands, it may scare people away :)Kommentar von s4mouraif@@@@ck fly paths. gief me fly mount.Kommentar von samukeI have played a destruction warlock since late BC.

Hope blizz fixes warlocks.Kommentar von perculiaYep, Dayani is looking at updating the section!Kommentar von AzakidI don't play lock but we have two locks in our current progress raid 2/7 myth group both around 665 and both pulling steady 27k+ dps and top 5 in damage done. I've seen many locks in pug groups topping charts as well.

Damage wise I'd say locks are fine. They might not be top 100% of the time but why should they be?Kommentar von Cr0wl0ckPVE warlocks are in a good spot yes but once you turn towards PVP then only affliction is viable...Kommentar von robbiedehandWe are making some huge improvements to the way flight paths work in 6.1.

If people don't have connecting points then that's their problem and I don't see why it needs to be fixed.

It's seems like another example of Blizzard spoon-feeding the lazy.Kommentar von Messer345I play Affliction Warlock. Two things seem to be bringing this spec down. One is Soul Shard generation is pretty bad. If it's at a 20% chance to regen a SS, it needs to be at a 30 or 35%. Also there are no procs making it an interesting class. The only proc is nightfall which is a very low proc rate and all it does is essentially the same as killing someone with a Drain Soul, regen a SS. I know most procs lead to bursty type playstyles and Afflic isn't supposed to be bursty, but there has to be SOMETHING to make it more interesting than it's current state.Kommentar von InfamushiumI don't play lock but we have two locks in our current progress raid 2/7 myth group both around 665 and both pulling steady 27k+ dps and top 5 in damage done.

I dont want to be forced into affliction to play pvp and i want to have fun in pvp as well but destruction feels as mobile as a rock, and more self heal than damage which turns ya into a training dummy... and heck id like to pick cataclysm but the time it takes to cast and dmg it deals and that it only hits 7 yard mark limit's the use severely...

they should reflect cataclysm to some of the ideas they had for it back in MoP such as pushback or unstoppable once started even for the warlock himself and increase damage.Kommentar von AzutaelAbout time with the trapping change!
