Cataclysm Changes: Warlock

[Mosg2]

Meeeeh....

They said that they were going to stretch out health pools so that everyone had at least another GCD or two before they die compared to now--So, Warlocks should be much more relatively survivable. With stacked haste, can you imagine 12 Soulfires in 3 seconds?

Yes, it's just speculation. Yes, we're probably 6-9 months from anything resembling the release version...

But the idea still makes my pants tight

My only 80 team is a paladin, priest and 3 destro locks. I was thinking 12 Soulfires. I don't think I'm panicing over warlock changes.

The ONLY thing I'm concerned about is Curses to Magic, every healer gets a magic dispel.

I foresee you ripping aggro off your tank

They have stated since this cam out that they currently have no way to regen the shards, but that they can easily implement it if they found it is needed. They are expecting it to be a burst thing like bloodlust though. Once a combat but quite a big boost.

It does seem that it could make warlocks the ultimate wizard cleave team though, if you burn through all 3 of your shards right off the bat I imagine the damage is going to be pretty insane. But if the other team survives it your prob screwed

Not once a combat like BL, but very situational and gamechanging. I think I read they are thinking of making a 20sec cooldown to start of with during testing

At least hellfire will be usable now .....
