Well here goes. Before the start of every 5v5 arena match this is the current preperations warlocks will have to do -
1) Kill 50 mobs and make sure you have 50 soul shards
2) Tell all your team mates to go to Dalaran to queue for arena (so that you have mobs to kill when you run out of shards)
3) Enter arena
4) Place Soulwell down, and wait 20 seconds before people click it properly
5) Hit F1, Hit Cast Invisibility, Hit Cast Underwater breathing
6) Hit F2, Hit Cast Invisibility, Hit Cast Underwater breathing
7) Hit F3, Hit Cast Invisibility, Hit Cast Underwater breathing
8 ) Hit F4, Hit Cast Invisibility, Hit Cast Underwater breathing
9) Hit F5, Hit Cast Invisibility, Hit Cast Underwater breathing
10) Target each pet in turn, Hit Cast Invisibility, Hit Cast Underwater breathing
11) Creat Spellstone
12) Apply Spellstone to weapon
13) Sumon Felhunter
14) Cast Demon / Fel armour
15) Cast Soul link
16) Match starts (youve only just made match start in time with all the buffing)
17) Walk in
18) Get zerged
19) Pet gets instagibbed
20) You die
21) Watching face flat on the floor while you see your dots get dispelled
Anyone else think this is how level 80 arena is going to be for 5v5 warlocks?
Too much farm
Too much preparation
Too little alive time
./sigh
edit - didnt even include the imp magic shield buffs on everyone either, which is another 5 steps of buffing.
Why is it that to play maximum efficiency in arena, warlocks have sooo much more to do than any1 else, yet get owned faster than any other class
