    Re: Cast Time dots are fail?

    I rolled destro a long time ago because I thought having a cast time for DoT was crap... and it is! So many classes have fear immune abilities its crazy! Y should a lock have a the same cast time for a DoT as a mage or shaman which does direct damage?

    The fact of "no burst" is true, besides an instant SB every now and then...

    You forgot to mention being silenced! Shadow is the only school and aff use, so if u can locked out of that school u can't use anything for 4-8 seconds!

    Since they will never change this, my advice is to roll destro, burst is insane and 1v1 you will be able to hold ur own against ANY class... U mentioned rogues... just seduce them when u get CS, if they trinket seduce again, and now they don't have a trinket! Shadowfury, fear (will only be 2 sec but will give u more distance) then light them up!

    This is why you should shut the fuck up.

    Haunt: Does dmg when it hits the target, and heals you when it ends.
    Imo, haunt having a casttime is only fair and it have never been a issue for me (yes i play a warlock).

    For the rest of a afflictionwarlock's arsenal, the only casttime we have (that is worth discussing) is on our normal fear and on UA. I rly dont see the problem with that, and comparing it to a rogue? lol... you cannot compare a caster to a melee, no need to prove me otherwhise.

    UA casttime: It's a heavy dot that can crit, it also have a dispelprotection (silence the dispeller). If thats not enough reason for it to have a casttime, then I dont know what to tell you.
    Oh, and FYI.. if blizzard ever made UA into a instantcast, best bet is on that they would remove the silence part about it.

    I thought it was decided that no warlock that includes a QQ about Bladestorm in his post is to be taken seriously?
    Actually, Mr. Lennon, I CAN imagine a world with no hatred, religion, war, or violence.
    I can also imagine attacking such a world, because they would never see it coming.

    Re: Cast Time dots are fail?

    Dots in general are pretty terrible. Respec a spec that matters. Either destruction if you are after personal dps or demonology if you are trying to help the raid and your raid doesn't have a demonology warlock.

    He is talking about cast-time dots in regards to PvP*

    Re: Cast Time dots are fail?

    instant casts dots would do one thing, make affli THE pvp spec... you would just run out dot up and piss of behind the nearest pillar or wall dishing out your dmg...

    Yes it sucks that affli is an easy target for some classes, but instant cast is not going to make you harder to kill, correct play and use of your abilities... THAT will make you harder to kill..

    Re: Cast Time dots are fail?

    Instant UA and haunt would be imbalanced. A warlock could literally run around and dot everything up. Not a single caster in the game can do anything like that.

    Isn't that the point? So every class is different? And locks did do that in tbc fyi... sl/sl remember?

    Having every dot be instant cast would be boring. It's not like 1.5 sec (less with haste) is a long cast time, anyways. At least the way it is now you need a little skill in planning your dots.

    Cast time/instant/cast time/instant

    It sounds like you would also want Seed of Corruption to be instant, too, huh?

    And there was a reason that sl/sl was the generic warlock pvp spec, and so hated. It was faceroll.

    This is true. This is pretty much why sl/sl build dominated like crazy in TBC. Well that and the fact that it was incredibly oped.

    Re: Cast Time dots are fail?

    i'm sure sl/sl dominated because the heal ignored mortal strike debuff and wound poison.

    also wasn't soul link reducing damage taken more and there wasn't people going around with 100% armor penetration procs and buff shit?

    and to the other guy, haunt has a cooldown so you can't "spam" it on people, and if you "dot other players" you won't have the 20% damage buff from it.
