Warlock - Anything I should know?

[Toadley]

<p>Im thinking about starting a warlock (on a PvP server), and I was wondering if anyone has some info on the class. I dont really know anything about them except that they have nice AoE damage.</p><p>Pros, Cons, or the good ol "I wish I knew that earlier"s would be appreciated.</p>

dunno about pvp as i do not play on one but i know that from duels i can never hit a class that has better than mastercrafted gear lol, a crit apocalypse(which should hit around 2k per tick) hits about 200 per tick =/

Look forward to dying alot.  Get past that, and I'm sure you'll have a blast on a PVP server.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Warlocks are pretty much the best group PVP class out there. Solo, they're kinda...eh, because they can be pounced upon just like any other mage. But in a group scenario, with targets flying all over the screen and taunts yanking your target...a warlock can basically wipe out a group all by itself, as long as they have some backup to keep them alive.

<p>You will get killed alot.  But as you learn your class through each death it should click how a warlock should be played in pvp.  I will give you one hint, you do enough damage with the spells you got. Find ways to stay alive longer and your survival chances will go up dramatically.  Good Luck</p>

<p>Even though I dont like getting killed by you, here is what I know.  Mana Shield is a god send, lets you solo pvp somewhat.  Focused casting is also a god send, lets you pull spell after spell really fast.  Like others said, soloing in pvp is somewhat meh, however if you can find a group to keep you alive, it is awsome.</p>
