This ain’t meant to be a warlock bahahing poem! ack!

It was just funny as hell at the time, in a cute way.

Occulus had been running Kara on group 1 for months and never got the Tier 4 glove drop, the poor bastard. And here on the shamans’ first run, POOF!

I have been demo since the start as it is just the way I like the class.

I do not do much raiding any more, just Kara so far and a few attempts at Gruul. <br/><br/>I agree that most people are lazy, but that is not because I have a Felguard. For me I just like the way it looks and feels. I can bring the pain (dps) as well as any other lock and have been on the top of the dps when that was my job. More often than not I am busy with something else.

But, like anything, I'm probably wrong. I would like to play around with my spec a bit more once I have excess G to burn (epic flyer paid for, battlecast set crafted, etc) and really learn the intricacies of demonology. Most of my experiences with demo locks, even lvl 70 demo locks, have been frustrating ones. I think that may be a function of people seeing the felguard and being like "wow, I get to cast and I get a badass tank to back me up? Sign me up!" They focus too much on their pets and not enough on their own damage output/gearing/spell rotation/etc. It's pretty much the same reason there are so many crappy hunters out there. But, like hunters, I know there are extremely skilled demo locks out there that know all of the ins and outs of their class. I have just not seen many :).<br/><br/>I'm blogging my self, at this point. I guess I'll wrap it up with a quote from my wife (also an affliction 'lock) that still makes me chuckle: "If I wanted my pet to fight for me, I'd be a hunter."

For part of SSC Demo/FG 'lock can easy beat everyone out for top dps. Not that it's easy to raid as Demo/FG I'm sure but I think that it would be fun?

We must always be mindful of the fact that warlocks who are tailors (as all but demo warlocks should be, and demo warlocks aren't exactly strong raiders in the first place) can craft an armor set that is, stat-wise, arguably better than the tier 4 stuff (frozen shadoweave for affliction, spellfire for destruction). This is coming from an affliction 'lock, by the way, so you know I'm not some other class QQing about how "'locks have no room to complain because they're already overpowered, blah blah blah." Hehe. He should jus tsuck it up and save his real complaining for when Prince's blade takes a million and one runs to drop. :-/<br/><br/>Grats to the shammy on the phat loot.<br/><br/>Grats to you, sir, on your blog. I find it quite enjoyable. Let’s not shed too many tears for the ‘lock.
