My friend did arenas with his 10 warlocks (specced demonology) back in cataclysm. While he never got over 1200 rating, he did do well enough to cap points and get decent enough gear to do some fun world pvp. I was also able to do the same with my 5 feral druids (it was quite fun for about half a season when swipe was buffed and could almost global an enemy team if they were bunched up!). Either way neither of us really took it seriously enough to get a decent rating but we did have fun.
Since 5's give the same amount of points as 2's or 3's. There is no rating requirement for t2 weapons. There should be a refocus on what works for rbg's, warlocks might be a good candidate for that not sure but going to agree with the sentiment on cc's in general. They are honestly out of hand. The fact Blizzard openly says they don't like instant cc yet it's still all over the place is troubling. If they reduced the cc generated. Maybe stuck everything on one shared Diminishing return.. It would become more viable.
I could see some Demonology locks being pretty effective if the AOE effect talent was taken. Run with the Succi's on defensive for some "smart" counter CC/rouge pushbacks, plenty of AOE via hellfire and hand of guldan to pull out stealthies. Some decent DOTs/self heals via doom and I think corruption + you could do the who swarm of imps (glyph? if I recall) + shadowbolt summoned imps. Demo locks have some mad survivability but it would be more of a grind them down and survive the intial burst vice an insta-kill team that Detro locks are.
I just want to see the stream and watch the set-up as well as initial fine tuning for the team.
I really would like to see it... How you can deal with all stuns at higher rating I not saying it can't be done but its going to be a challange . I face people in open PvP world and fight them in groups they are good players and sometimes I wanna cut my wrist
Well, the burst is there for sure. Just have to wait and see once next season starts. Got a glad disc priest healing me next season, so will be fun and challenging :)
Gonna put up a few vids this week about locks mechanics, burst and so on
yeah, a nice healer is good to have, btw whats your youtube channel?
I wish i could have that ability and have someone to stick with me and heal my team - gotta make my priest to go holy and fix few things.
So, next season is coming up soon. Still capping JP and honor for next season on my locks, will be a blast to try em out :)
Good luck.
Honestly though stacking locks is just not viable.
Like others I'd love to be proven wrong but theres so much crap to deal with and warlocks just don't have the tool kit to deal with things on their own.
I got this bro! ;)
Worst thing is, that my locks are critting with chaos bolt + trinket close to the same amount as my half in half male/dreadful geared ele shamans.
You got nothing with no follow :)
