Tried to duel your Warlock yet? What a JOKE!

[TwoO]

<DIV>Didn't they say that they were trying to even out classes so that we would be able to duel each other without anybody having the upper hand?  Yeah they drastically failed on this one, ever since the expansion came out I have been trying to duel with my Warlock and let me tell you, its fuggin pathetic.  She is currently 53, vs a 53 wizard I was able to stun and then lasted another approximately 3 seconds as they chain stifled me and here comes ice comet, game over... [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot].. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Why do Warlocks have a cold based stun?  Nevertheless that Deter is pretty much useless aside from the nice hit of damage it does, but why is a disease/poison based character carrying a cold based stun?  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It is just rediculous how lopsided dueling is now, especially since I have only ever won a single duel and that was against a SK, and only a particular one.  Our damage output isn't enough to overpower healers heals, we can't stop getting stunned from melee because they have more than anybody could possibly need making it absolutely a joke to try and duel one of them.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I am really very displeased how they treated Warlocks during the expansion, I don't understand why we had to be nerfed so far back that we're now the laughing stock of the caster world, now they are talking about re-nerfing our holds and toning down our AE damage, what exactly do you wnat us to do?  Just delete our Warlocks and all roll Wizzards?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I am going to hang in there and level her up some more but if they don't change something soon might be time to try something new, getting really tired of getting used to playing a character a certain way and then have them completely changed on me, not only changed but for the worse to where I don't even know where I belong anymore.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

Your basing how your toon does in the expansion on duels? idk. Duel = the devil.

No, they said they wouldnt let PvP balance affect class balance in any way.  I sure hope they stick to this, as it was the biggest fear of the anti-PvP people that there would be class nerfs to accomodate it.  For me, I could care less if warlocks are good or bad in PvP.  I sort of thought we were good at it.

<P>I havent even bothered dueling as a warlock. I know it will be murder to myself. Pretty sure a wizard mate is itching to duel me but i never will because i know there is just no point to confirming the fact that my class has become gimped. I been with this game since it was released, i did not pick a warlock at the time because they had more damage or anything, i picked it because i felt it would suit me best.</P> <P>I know how u feel about being the laughing stock of the casters, i feel like i should stick to the shadows every zone i go so no one sees me. The other day i was killing some mobs for a quest, i do the usual long winded clicking of buttons to debuff and maybe get abit more dmg and before i can even land a dmg spell a wizard besides me hits it with ice comet and its dead from basically full health.</P> <P>anyway rant off.</P>

<P>Give me a brake and learn how to duel ... Warlock not the best against all classes but probably the ONLY class that own healers</P> <P>a) you have Vulian Intrusion </P> <P>b) you have Dark Investation</P> <P>c) you have Netherous Realm /Aura of Emptiness</P> <P>Combine 1+2+3  and you get dead healer</P> <DIV>Hint for TwoOne: Dark investation along kill outright any mage if you know how to force this spell spawn broodlings</DIV>

<DIV>Warlocks are great...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>For fighters... invis if they dont have any see-invis gear... throw tounge twist when match starts (to stop any insta cast stifle/stun combat arts), followed by skeletal grasp, then stack cower on top of it.  With both roots on cast devastation, and reapply the roots if one breaks, if both breaks use tounge twist and root again.  Keep both roots on at all time and slowly kill them with devastation, if they are using arrows throw in dark nebula -> thwart -> root -> devastation -> root -> repeat ect...also dont use any gear that procs dmg and dont use nihilism or vulian gift as they both can break roots if the fighter is shooting arrows at you.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Dont have much experience fighting scouts, but i suppose i'd fight them the same a fighters, but since they have ranged combat arts i'd prolly stun them more.  You will lose to rangers =p</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>For priests get right next to them, when the duel timer gets to 3 secs start casting netherous realm.  Once the duel starts put on dark infestation, then aura of emptiness, then vulian interfernce, then dark nebula, then soul blister, usually thats enough dmg alone to kill a priest, and if the broodlings proc they die even faster cause its proccing netherous realm and aura of pain constantly for huge damage.  No healer can keep up with that dmg when your stunning them.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As for other mages its just tounge twist and whoever gets the first stun off wins lol... cept for conjuors I vulian interference the pet and tounge twist the conj then try to get off a devastation and an AE root to keep the pet parked.</DIV>
