Destro warlock here. Queued up with Ele & Fury & Arms in lobby.
first round is against double warr:
- i die relatively quick while doing every trick in the game to kite optimally and los and snare (they connected for few seconds later in the round with few cds and they won gg)
second and third round:
- i stay on mount and just do merry go rounds on the pillar. i win next two matches in a row while being on mount 80% of the game no joke (these werent fast games either. i literally just stayed parked on my mount for several minutes behind and around pillar as the orc tried to get closer)
fourth round and beyond:
- i do same merry go round strategy but pop out every few seconds then right back in to my port and merry go round…but i dont collect any wins (this was due to healer diff which was evident by end results)
takeaway:
- i was ASTONISHED how i could barely survive while flying across the map with my kiting as a warlock…while the ele was FACETANKING both warriors COMFORTABLY in later rounds when i decided to merry go round pillar for all game (and yes ofc the ele still did top damage all rounds while getting focused, do i rly need to mention that?)
seriously BUFF WARLOCK SURVIVABILITY NOW!!!

What healer where in the lobby?
Also is just always healer diff, it’s kind of the law too blame them first
You can’t buff a class just because it get countered by warrior.
I can say the same as sp, I can’t play the game in the lobby you describe, always need to juke kick + get off reflect+kick ground and other billion totems and this on repeat while being dead 24/7.
Blizzard need to prune ability that’s the major issue with pvp atm.
Nothing else I see in shuffle on lock than war, bm, ele and everything counter lock. I bet they are not doing class rework so buff dmg and defensives then. First they overtuned war and ww, then they buff ele, bm and dh. What next, buff for rog and more buff for retri? What is this tuning even when they buff dh or ele, where is warlock buff? Or do we buff op rogues and mages first, and then give locks 4% buff on something that dont matter when everything else were made into gods of the arena? What is this garbage? Where are lock buffs? Soon?
come on according to them lock is oppressed by everyone, although today they are going through hard times
Cant make any sense of it, could you just go back into trying use retocalypse shuffle ranks as exp please? Atleast that were more understandable than whatever this is what your now trying to say about locks. It is a txt based forum after all, would be nice if the writings somehow made sense.
If I try to decipher something from this msg you seem to be missing the fact how warlocks are not showing in statistics as best of anything in meta analysis of the current season. Which I find most strange when its pretty much common knowledge by now and honestly statistics are public information for any legoblock with internet access to read but considering what I have seen so far I cant say I’m too supprised.
none of my comments can do without your incoherent drivel? go get some fresh air its summer

I still cant make sense of it. I mean spot the guy who googled big words when the words make no sense in the context they are used. My posts are writen with clear enough plain english and based on the assumptions that people are equipped with atleast normal amounts of common sense. Or to be able to interpret public data or read…
After you, but first get some common sense to not use shuffles as exp from retocalypse.
So your still playing retri which is among the best dps of season even right now and which warlocks factually are not. So what exactly is the meaning of any of this. Is this some shuffle logic or what the hell is the sense in playing s++ tier spec and troll some threads of other classes that need buffs according any metrics. I mean anyone who doesnt even have much understanding in meta sees it, so one just makes himself look dumb claiming against common knowledge. So your goal is to look dumb or what is the logic. Are you trying signal people that you have no clue of meta or able to read public statistics or what is the objective with this.
okay
nerf chaosbolt
a lot
but fix destruction warlock
stop being sensitive
every shuffle is 3 enemy members rotating 3 spelllocks and 3 stuns and 4 micro ccs to interrupt every chaosbolt i cast
this is clown gaming

i like destro with big bolts i think design is good, i feel like they should make destro more like it was in mop tho
pls remove this smoothbrain comment
ever since they changed chaosbolt animation to be this big goofy BLIMP, and this spec had gone down hill
blizzard & this community unironically think it is normal to have an entire spec relying on a single spell (this is madness)
Warlocks need major buff in general to compete in current meta which locks are not currently. Every other spec have been either overtuned to begin with or buffed later through the season except locks. Locks not only are showing bad in statistics they also still lack buffs on them and by now its overshadowed by everything else on the game.
warlocks logic from past few days> specs deal too much dmg from1 spell bad design> then i see bloodlock cry about 3 spells doing similar dmg for other spec also bad cuz its a builder rotation shouldnt hit muchj.
destro has been best with bolts being huge, and shadowburn being a fun execute simple as. warlocks are strong core design you can easily push on demo and affi and in shuffle they are more than good so its just cope of bad locks on this forum. would be fun to have other spells chunk too and the cost of cbolts being more rare or smth but they still should hit a lot
it’s just reading warlock takes who are on top of that clueless about the game is a perfect example why blizz should never listen to lowbies about balance, there is you 70lvl priest spam posting every day xd then there is this guy who made the post. like 3-4posts discussin warlocks past few days. everybody has different ideas which is good but then again it all stems from the fact there is slight skill issue and most of the discussions come down to some rng crits and some arbitraty bs like how much a spell should hit XD

I just think it’s strange how there are so many s++ tier specs from current meta who are having so much struggles vs b tier warlocks that they make 5 dublicate topics to complain of some destro or warlocks in general when locks statistically actually need buffs. 90% of these complaints towards warlocks are coming from s++ tier arms or retributions or ferals, when warlock is statistically worse class in this season. It’s either gaslight or there is some skill issue. Warlocks need buff, but we can ask more nerfs for meta specs aswell to compensate the lack of buff for locks if that is more preferable. I dont mind eitherway, we can also start nerfing meta classes as arms, retri, ele, bm, mage, feral if we are unwilling to buff warlocks on same level with the rest of meta.
