My horde that I got to level cap? A Demo lock! SUCH a fun spec! The changes to the spec in MOP have been a breath of fresh air. I giggle madly when out questing on that character. I can also take her into LFR and do pretty well on the damage meters.

Aff, however, I’m still woefully trying to learn how to do well. My attempts at Affliction are often derailed by the thought process of: Man, my damage sucks! Why am I doing this? I do more than twice this in my main spec! /swaps back to main spec

At some point you also get wild imps. A flock of the things following you around, shooting stuff for you. It rocks.

Warlocks were never as squishy as other clothies, and my MoP afflock had more hitpoints than our tank going into to MSV the first night. They’re awesome fun, hellfire while moving is sooooooooooooooo much fun :)

Oh man. Bear, you are a Sir. I’ve been playing a warlock alt of late(independent of you, I swear) but have been rolling around as affliction. This? This opened my eyes. Sheer brilliance, this is.

That could be part of the reason why I haven’t leveled one yet. Although, I was inspired to create an Undead warlock for the very same reason. In fact, it was one of my first three characters. The druid happened to stick like glue.

I still feel the need to create an Undead lock, and am realizing as I’m typing this that in order for it to stick, it needs to be a boy. Ha! Can you see the light bulb above my head?

I totally understand finding the right race for certain classes. I always wanted to play an undead warlock since I first saw the original trailer – iconic class/race combos work on me for some reason. But it wasn’t until they changed all the specs in MOP that I’ve been excited to level one.

Man, I’ve been trying to play a warlock since vanilla! It seems like every effort I have made to play a warlock has been met with massive changes that require unlearning everything I knew in order to get anywhere with the class. I think I’ve finally settled on a race I like for the class: Worgen. I get that badass feel from a Worgen warlock; not a Forsaken, Human, Blood Elf, or Goblin—I’ve tried them all. So with a race settled, I’m prepared to weather pending changes.

I’ve always been enamored with the concept of a Destruction lock, but I’m not feeling it on my baby Worgen lock. It’s very different than how it played BP (Before Pandas), and even more different than before that and before that. I must thank you profusely for describing the Demonology style of play. Now I have to decide if I want to recreate her on my main server so as to benefit from heirlooms. It’s been a nice change playing on a fresh server at a decent pace and NOT ridiculously outleveling zones. But… the power she could have with those looms… oh my. Whatever is a girl to do?

I am getting this glyph and dual speccing Demonolgy tonight.

If it’s as much fun as it sounds, this is my questing spec from now on. I had a bit of fun as Demo at lower levels, but the novelty wore off before i got glyphs.

Thank you BBB

I ran an instance with a Warlock tank – his friend queued up as the tank and the Warlock rolled right through the instance – pulling top DPS mind you – while the rest of us just stood in baffled amazement. Once I realized wtf was going on, I swapped my misdirect to him and giggled my way through the rest of the instance.

Reading that Warlocks have a way to be non-squishy is a huge temptation to dust of my Warlock. And to think I used to get frowned upon for being a melee warlock. :) Thanks BBB
