How to play your Warlock in PVP
I've read these forums and noticed the amount of ranting about our class. The fact I agree, is that we
are bit weaker than some of the most played classes, but I DO NOT agree that we are totally
unplayable in PVP. Warlocks are for the persons who love challenges and winning by humiliating
the opponent however they like. If you are searching for something easy going pvp char, which does
not require multiple hours practicing, stop reading and pick Shaman or Rogue instead.
However, if you have already picked the warlock and you love it, but have some problems with it,
or simply want to know what warlocks are capable to do, I�ve written this for you. So this info is
based to my experiences on the field, and the reason why I wrote this is that I'm bored to hear how
warlocks suck in pvp�

1. Basics
1.1 Being prepared all the time
I can't stress this enough! As a warlock, you ARE GOING TO LOSE if you don't have enough
shards and your Soul-, Health-, and Spellstones are not ready. Just get some addon which helps to
keep your shards inventoried, and makes sure that you don't forget to make those.
( For example,�ShardStatus�, from http://www.curse-gaming.com , is excellent tool for keeping 'em
organized )
Also knowing what the stones do is pretty useful.
Soulshards
You need lots of these. I always carry at least two full bags with me. And note that I play
demonology-build, �SM-Ruin� ones are going to need even more. Managing shards is one of the
hardest things while playing with the warlock. Without shards warlock is capable get only half of
its power out. So be careful with the amount of shards you are carrying. When ever you got less
than ten shards left its time to go farm more shards.
Soulstone
Sometimes opponent manages to backstab with critical and warlock will die instantly. Thanks for
the Soulstones, Warlocks have chance for the revenge. Note that it's not always the best smartest
move to use the stone immediately.
Here is example: If you know that you are going to lose, just apply all the instant DOTs you got
(Corrupt, Curse of Agony) to opponent and then when the opponent nails you they are happy that
they won skilled Warlock. Sometimes they even start to dance on your body, and I love to watch
how they are perishing slowly, and how they are unaware about the upcoming surprise... I usually
just wait until the DOTs have done all the damage they can, THEN use the stone, Unload instants
and surprisingly to opponent, he is down, and I'm not.
Healthstone
Additional Potion. Use every time when you got less than � of your life bar left.
Spellstone
Remove all the magical Effects; prevent next (400-900) magical damage. Add 1% for your critical
chance.
Removing magical effects is incredibly good against other warlocks and priests. Against those
targets, among against mages, that absorb is really neat as well. Use these stones, and you can
win!
1.2 Why Warlock is so hard to play in PVP?
First of all, warlock-player needs to realize what kind of character s/he is playing.
PVP and specially PVPing with Warlock are all about the CONTROL. Warlock is the character,
which is telling to opponent, what is happening not vice versa. We don't have as many defensive
spells/skills as some other classes, but the thing what makes our defensive talents better than the
opponent's, is that we can get total control about the situation with those. Good example is to
compare �Seduction� to �Sheep�.
While playing Warlock, you cannot assume that you beat the opponent FAST, as it's not going to
happen. Warlock will want the fight last longer as the time is on warlock's side. My fights usually
last from 45 seconds to 90 seconds. Might sound a lot, but patience is the key for the victory. If you
want to win fast, play Rogue. When you have PVPed bit more, you'll realize that you are
dominating the situation even if you are going to lose. In cases like that, you'll most likely know
WHY you are going to lose. And, no, the reason is not� I lagged�.
Here is an example: Back when I was playing with my RP-server�s warlock who was at the 45th
level, I saw a 49th level paladin fighting with the 49th level mob. What did I do? I feared. Not the
Paladin but the mob. Paladin turned around, saw tagged undead warlock, four levels lower than he
was. Of course he attacked. I did my routine maneuvers (seduced, started to bolt). Paladin charged
towards me and I seduced again and took lots of distance.
Remember that Mob I feared earlier? Good.
It came back now, now with the 3 adds. And as the mob had earlier targeted the paladin, the fearing
hadn't changed the target, so the mob plus three adds now attacked the Paladin. I continued bolting
the paladin from the distance. He shielded up, healed, but it wasn't enough against four mobs, me
and my succubus.
I nailed him with the Shadow burn. And Mobs weren't aggroing towards me, as I was that long on
the distance, and didn't damage 'em at all.
So in short: Warlock, who masters the controlling, is pretty much unbeatable.
