3.1 Warlock changes - Are you fucking kidding me?

YouTube - PTR Lock

K.

[Correction]

Yay finally Warlocks will get invited to groups again. And all the warlocks who rolled DPS DKs will finally log back onto their fucking warlocks for raids.

[aurik]

Thank god for less DKs.

[Ishido]

I would much rather go against legions of locks in PvP than legions of DKs.

[Guitarman]

those 20k strikes are fucking hot

[Korietsu]

Thank god for arcane barrage nerfs. Jesus fucking christ, nerf this shit.

[Gulkeeva]

mmm good thing i chose to gear up my lock after druid!

[Boyiee]

The 20k crits in the video are setup and planned, not really realistic although it's still a lot, the highest crit it looked like he had on an actual person was 12k. Lots of 2k-4k dot ticks and a few 8k hits as well.

Looks like max crits for 12-15k but that's raid buffed. I hit for 10k+ on clothies in non pvp gear now, this is nothing huge. If I could find a cloth wearer with buffs that increased damage taken by 25% I'm sure I could hit them for a stupid amount as well. Granted the cast still hit for 15k without the buffs on the warrior, and hit a hunter for 12k, plus the fact that hes critting on dots for 2-4k and other spells for 8k with stuns and fears does make the class a little rape.

Rogue+Lock in arenas goooooooo

[Korietsu]

Yep, because a 1.5 second base cast and 10 sec CD = 7.5 seconds of casting and hoping for a crit. If conflag goes live I'm going to go finish my rogue to make lock's lives a living hell.

I'm impressed that they found a way to make WotLK PvP even worse.

and it wont end there

He's also 'testing' on someone that's taking 20%+5%+5% flat dmg increase (forgive me if numbers are botched a bit, I believe that's what it is on PTR - Reck + DW + Zerk stance itself), raid buffed, ideal situation'd. I'm not too worried. People need to stop shitting their pants everytime they see a video of someone critting.

[Guitarman]

Delete that comment! Maybe like the other's have said, some of the DK's will go away and jump on a lock bandwagon lol.

That was only the first two tests, did you even watch the rest..?

[Skyylya]

I play with a demo lock sometimes and he puts out crazy dps. higher than any afflic or destro i've run with that similarly geared.

You mean like arcane power? Still hits harder than any instant cast a mage can throw out even with the full setup and unnerfed ablast glyph + zerking in a BG.

I just find it completely ironic as a hunter all I saw on the DPS threads were locks and other clothies(read:Mostly locks which are already a hard counter for hunters) bitching and posting SSs of hunters dropping 10k kill shots.

oh noes 10K killshot.. when your below 20% hp... although.. I do love it being 0y in 3.1... I don't know how many times I've almost killed someone, and then they kill me because I can't get away from them.

and... I don't see how its hard for a hunter to blowup a lock >.> haven't had a problem blowing them up, resilience build, stam build or pve anx25 build.

It's not 1v1 I'm talking about in a team setting. Theres a reason 7 out of the top 10 teams on the tourny realm are DK/Pally/Lock

Because it counters DK/Pally/Hunter and is a bit stronger than that. Locks are the bane of a hunter in arenas

(I was rated 2403 on my hunter before I server transferred.)
