4 locks and a priest -- I dropped the 5th lock so I can level the priest up as my "main" for raiding.Originally Posted by 'Furystrike',index.php?page=Thread&postID=154818#p ost154818
The locks are fun. I'd say they're not as great at shamans for PvP survivability, but man do their dots hurt. My first PvP anti-gank was at level 49 with 5 warlocks, killing a 70 druid. Once I hit northrend at 68, I haven't really had a ganking problem unless there are multiple high-levels. The priests' mass dispell is very handy for bubble-bomber paladins and I'd say it's a toss up of which I kill with more consistency -- paladins or DKs.
PvE, the pets are really poor for tanking. However, for most elite quests I utilize Felguards (I've also done Felhunters when all of them were aff) and when they pull aggro I just drain life tank the elite, since it's usually at about 1/2 health anyway, while healing with the priest. I find SL/FG to be the most ideal spec for my pull style -- I just siphon life mobs as I run and when I gather a nice chunk of mobs, I turn around to let the FGs cleave it to death and (now that I have SoC) aoe them to death if need be. Mana is never an issue -- life tap is bound to CoH on the priest.
In general, I'd say I prefer hunters as a pet class if you're focused on PvE -- the pets tank (aggro + mitigation) better, and hunters have good sustained DPS and aggro dumps. Warlocks are better for PvP, however, since they have Soul Link, mobility, and don't suffer from facing in order to shoot/cast.
