5 warlocks any good for pve ?

[pinki104]

the only class i havent boxed is warlock and i was wanting to know if the lock pets would be able to tank in heroics or do they get killed pretty quick

[Multibocks]

they just dont have the dps to last, plus I'm not sure their pets could tank heroic bosses very well.

That.

You just can keep the pets alive vs bosses. Maybe with a very complicated cycle in summing pets you could manage to kill HC bosses. Like always making sure to have atleast 1 VW(voidwalker) alive, so summon a new one on slave 2, when the VW from slave 1 dies. When the VW from 2 dies, 3 summons one.

And have a severe cripple on dps.

And with no healing really beyond life drain...

I can't see 5 locks getting too far.

The only way VW's stay alive is via health funnel + outside heals (which is slow due to having to carefully manage aggro but can be done), which you can't do with 5 locks.

Ty for info i think I'll have to try something else as I don't wana struggle on everyboss, but I'm just not sure what I can box that can do heroics apart from shammys n pallys

Has anyone tried 5 x VWs ... slow DPS but considering the ability to bounce threat they shouldn't be dropping that quick. Lots of dots up + health funnel/life drain. I would think you would fall asleep pretty fast doing it. I deleted my 5 lock team before level 20 if I recall so i don't have a frame of reference for farder content

I triboxed 3 warlocks to 62. Mostly boosted though. Imo the class warlock in general is quite complicated to box really succesful. Which made them a lot of fun to play for me, I prefer that over mages spamming AB for example. Eventhough the mage is more effective. You'll always need a tank + healer for PVE. It's that simple.

Yes, if you are thinking about boxing some warlocks, you will have more success as them being a pvp team.

Only experience I have is easily clearing Ramps at level 60 with my 5 locks. But that was normal difficulty, I'm sure the voids would get owned in a Cata heroic.
