how many warlocks is too many?

[the game]

So I was looking at my character list the other day and notice that I have 5 max level warlocks. Is that too many?

Kind of like me and my druids.. At least i have them on different realms :P

I have 3 warlocks on Zul'jin alone. One I'm still leveling.

What is the collective term for a group of warlocks?

A gaggle?

A flock?

A Murder. I have 3 max level and one 71.

[Gaidax]

There can be only one.

I have 2.

One at 100, one at 80. I did Herald of the Titans with the one at 80.

A coven.

You fool.

The fuck do you need 5 for? There's only 3 specs, and you can have two on each toon, so max you'd ever need is 2 (one for Ally, one for Horde, dual spec on both)

I don't think "need" forms part of the motivation. I've leveled more warlocks just because.

I would never have more than 1 Warlock. It's my main, i'm too attached to her, i couldn't possibly split myself.

Why? Not mocking, genuinely interested. I personally can't see the benefits or enjoyment in having more classes than one outside of having them on different realms/factions.

Same question to you, pretty much. Could you expand on the "just because"?

Those are witches.

Warlock is originally the word for a male witch, why female warlocks in WoW aren't called witches then is probably a consistency matter.

Also no need to get rude, BTW

Edit: Also, the fel-infested area in southern Desolace (with the warlocks and demons) is called "Mannoroc coven", so i think Coven is the term Blizz is going with for a group of warlocks.

I've heard that some practicing pagans in real life claim that "Warlock" isn't what you call a male witch. Witches don't use gender-specific terms. Here's one male witch's belief;

The only difference between a male witch and a female witch is their gender. To call a male witch, a warlock is highly offensive. A warlock is a witch, male, or female who has been locked out of his or her coven, and the members of the group have turned their backs on the individual labeled as a warlock, because they feel that their tradition, or the craft was in someway betrayed.

So a Warlock in that context is somebody who has betrayed their magical traditions. Which fits the WoW concept of a Warlock well. After all, the warlocks we play are mages and shaman who have turned their backs on moral studies of the Arcane.

I wouldn't call a female WoW warlock a witch. I'd think of the term "witch" as fitting a Mage more, actually.

I'm derailing the thread by discussing all of that, but I just thought it'd be interesting to share a little trivia! To be OT I'll say that you can have as many warlocks as you want. I'm not the type of person to play several characters of the same class, but it's not my game. Play what you like.

Hmm. Siri just told me that it's an incantation of warlocks.

I think that works.

I think I find the gearing process kind of enjoyable. It's also neat to see how the leveling works out with new expacs. That and doing sick deeps in shit gear is pretty satisfying. Yep.

Warlocks.....



Warlocks everywhere.

[AwkwardSquirtle]

Can you use them to summon yourself?

[Deleted]

It's the same question like any other passion/addiction.

Does having those 5 Warlocks keep you from doing anything you want, need or should be doing?

No? Then it isn't too much.

And T8 tells us Warlocks have a penchant for Crow/Raven feathers.

Hmm. Siri just told me that it's an incantation of warlocks.

I like this too.

Well I'll have 2...was tempted to make a 3rd...just not sure how much I like Affliction...
