warlocks in battlegrounds

[valle2000]

I have a PvE-team at 65 with a priest + 4 warlocks. Now I'm thinking about turning these into a PvP-team instead.
Should I go on with all 5 or only the warlocks?
Which pet is best for maximum single target dps? I'm thinking about imp or felguard, which is best for PvP?

I'll mostly play Alterac valley and Isle of conquest with these, since I always feel a bit uncomfortable joining with so many chars in smaller team battlegrounds.

Depends on your spec, glyphs and how much spell power you have (85 values here) ...


Felstorm ((($SP * .50) * 2) * 0.33 + 158)
Legion (($SP * 0.50) * 2) * 0.264 + 138) / # targets
Firebolt ((($SP * 0.50) * 0.657) + 124)
Lash (208 + (0.612 * ($SP * 0.5)))
Whiplash (475 + (0.85 * ($SP * 0.5)))
Bite (70 + (0.614 * ($SP * 0.5))) + 15% each dot

... I would think that Spell Lock/ Devour Magic, Seduce/ Whiplash and Axe Throw would all have merits beyond what the actual pet does for damage.

I haven't activated my slave accounts in cata still, but at lvl 80 5 warlocks were really fun in pvp and a complete mass destruction squad.

I ran them all as demo spec with felguard. The demonic empowerment making felguard unfearable and immune to cc made usually good work of the other team healer. Then pop demon form + immolation aura and start spamming seed of corruption. In a couple of seconds everything with red name usually ends dead.

Immolation aura x 5 does HUGE damage. and now with the new talents and the option to hellfire while moving I am thinking that a warlock squad could be renamed to suicide pyromaniac squad. Thinking of this kind of macro...
/castsequence demon form, charge (in the middle of the zerg), immolation aura, hellfire, /dance, /lol

love the /dance /lol at the end might try that on my mage group when i take out 10 ally in a tower one shoot! (fire is far to powerfull) i was to far behind with my locks at 80 by the time i leveled they nufed all the honor so it was suck a pain to level but low level was so much fun.... wish i worked on them a bit more sometimes, oh ya WG was epic fun died a lot though,

the new self healing of locks will make this interesting if it goes live...

isn't it just 3%?

doesnt that make it ridiculously small and useless? or what am I missing

Weird I must have misread it. Thought it was 6% with armor buff. Still better than no healing

A Demo-Lock boxer, rocked my kitties pretty good.
He had 160k health on the locks, so I would guess some conquest gear and the 10% stamina talent.
Not sure if he was gearing for straight STA or had resilience either.

The only time I got any of his locks down, was when he was drinking.
And I opened with Feral Charge - Ravage, and dropped one.
Then another as he started the spell cleave... which is rather nasty for the kitties.
Warlocks 4, Druids 0; best I did was 3 locks down; he didn't lose a single toon when he was ready for me.

oh yeah, the new demon armor gives more HP from healing, I remember now.

My locks are 82 now, and loving it so far, demo is RIDICULOUS!
