    But your biggest flaws is the fights. Both Jaraxxus and beasts are very good fights for arcanemages since we got an insane burst.
    so to set straight (talking about heroic), they got the upper head on jeraxxus (spellsteal and burst) beasts (burst) fc (pvp fight, matters not)
    twins (gimmick fight, arcane barage while moving and opness of http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=44394) fire on anub(ffb fb)
    living bomb aoe and warlocks run dry out of mana unable to lifetap in p3

    not counting fc, 4/4 bosses in toc give them gimmick advantages

    Re: Ghostcrawler: Warlock DPS is fine, l2p

    This entire post by GC is trash simply because the problem with locks is to be found more in their mechanics than it is in bullshit numbers.

    You people are all letting yourself get distracted by this MEANINGLESS everlasting bullshit numbers talk, that has absolutely nothing to do with what Warlocks need, I mean if corruption ticked for 10k a pop and made us #1 in every meter we'd still need quite a bit of work.

    JESUS enough with the small nerd big epeen talk.

    You know... you're really great at destroying your own points... really, really great...

    You beat those 2 mages on Northrend Beasts. Not in DPS, but in damage - and damage is what counts there. (you know, Arcane Mages have NO DoTs up - therefore they have huge DPS values, while the "damage done" is as high as others, at least in fights where you can't deal damage 100% of the time)
    You were really close to a mage at Jaraxxus, although they can Spellsteal their ass off in that fight - I mean hey, best mages get 13-14k DPS in it.
    And then you were on par with a mage on Twins, where Arcane get's ~1k Spellpower more, thanks to the absorb-buff always being up.


    Now, the thing is: You could argue that your mages suck big time, seeing as their DPS at Jaraxxus and Twins is too low... but those two fights profit mages the most. IF you want a closer comparison, do Beasts.
    Pure single target, no buffs/absorbs/whatever. Bad for melees, but it's nearly always the case that either Melee OR Ranged have an advantage.


    Locks are fine, GC is right.

    Yeah, because getting back to your portal (which you can see and know where it is, therefore can't be so full of fail to actually port into a huge chunk of orbs) is totally different from porting 20yards in front of you, where, because it's mages, no orbs will ever be.
    fail


    PS: Elemental shaman here, all I can do to lose aggro: Die and don't Ankh. (Wind Shear sucks as much as the thing of Rogues)
    All I can do when there's orbs all around me: Die and maybe Ankh afterwards.

    So, you can at least lower your aggro on CD. Only 2 classes can get immune to all damage and that's paladins and mages. Haven't seen the other 8 classes QQ about this as much, you know...

    Gosh, so many posts every minute >_>

    You made the point that locks don't have the tolls to escape things that are escaped by NOT SUCKING. Sounds like an L2P issue to me. Give it up. GC is right.

    Boo hoo, mages have more room to be stupid. Good. I'd rather stupid players were forced to stop playing locks. Then when people say "man, we could use a lock" I get to be that lock, because all the bads rerolled mage or whatever.

    PS. you should reroll mage.

    true, but while in meta, i pass/reach mages and rogues in dps charts.
    And then again, you talked about a class that is meant to lead dps in that fight.
    I dont see DKs buffing raid with 300-400 spell power.

    Every fight is a completely different prespective, and Dks QQ over my dps in every single other encounter in heroic toc and algalon, when im not demo, im destro.

    "Omg, destro locks are so op, and they are casters... caster is faceroll".

    I guess you've never tried to put DC somewhere logical considering you can't even spell the word.

    Sigh...I wish there was a way to keep these threads off the main page until at least a few pages of intelligent discussion is posted to scare off the wannabes, but seeing as this is not the case...

    For the hundredth time, we are not talking about your mediocre guild on your podunk server. We are talking about the trends documented both in logs, simcraft and by anecdotal evidence by high end raiding guilds.

    The trend documented in logs like Wow-meter and World of Logs is that when you take the best of the best in every class, warlocks are barely scratching the top 100 and are consistently in the lower half of DPS rankings.

    The trend documented in simcraft- and frankly isn't that hard to understand without it- is that there are serious scaling issues with warlocks that has gotten progressively worse since Ulduar.

    And the anecdotal trend is that more and more progression oriented guilds are using one Demonic Pact warlock and no mas.

    On topic warlocks do some pretty insane damage, ive seen some some pretty skilled affliction locks preform well in raids.
    I'm afraid you just made it too easy. Unless you're still raiding Naxx, almost all raiding warlocks are either destro or demo.
    Your comments are duly noted and ignored.
    I punch a hobo every time someone says 'it's not a rotation it's a priority list lol'.

    since most of the fights of toc make you adapt your movement you cant use demonic circle properly except for fights like jerasomething and beasts

    Maybe you missed the part where GC was obviously talking about 3.3, so here's a tip: GC was talking about 3.3.

    He's also talking about using affliction in 3.3. You know, because it got an overhaul and scales better now.

    Good try though.

    That's exactly what's wrong with this entire discussion we're talking about a worthless response to the meaningless 3% of the WoW population that now gives an opportunity to GC to portray locks as fine l2p for the other 97% that give a shit if they we're 0.0001% of over the next best dps.
