Its actually insane how overpowered dks are

It keeps the same through the whole expansion, but later resilence becomes more important and will give warlocks an extra survival against some classes.

Dunno I absolutely slay ppl on my warlock in BG, never get negative k/d even when facing premades.
It’s usually like 3:1 or so, that is while focussing on the objective too.
It is very strong now, and will be one of the strongest classes in WotLK as well.

Talking about destro, I have no experience in playing anything else.

The prepatch is and always was balanced around max level (not yet achievable) so classes are obviously completely broken at current level. It happens every prepatch.

As others stated, DK is an antimagic class, you can’t really duel him 1v1.

As for Warlocks, they where one of the most played classes in 3v3 ladders in LSD and other comps during WOTLK. In fact if you are able to find 2010 Blizzcon footage, most if not all comps are Lock/Other Caster/Healer.

i never said warlocks were bad. i just said i have zero chance at all i might aswell go afk if i get gripped.

Don’t take the pre-patch state of PvP as a baseline… seriously, it’s only for a month, after that the next ā€˜proper’ pvp tier will be 80.
And that’s also where the classes really get into their Wotlk state.

Then again, if you are demotivated just because people keep beating you in pvp… then maybe it’s not a game-style for you? Because that’s going to happen consistently… and to everyone, mind you.

I’d say, keep fighting, look for dk’s to fight, try to adapt to their skills and abilities, and even if you only win 1 out of 5 fights vs a dk, that’s 1 more than you had before :slight_smile:

yeah you arent winning a dk as warlock. stop giving these locks false hopes lmfao.

maybe if dk doesnt know where his buttons are.

ok that might still be too much. maybe if hes not at the computer then warlock can win

Yes, they are OP currently. Are they that OP @ 80? No.

Edit: until shadowmourne of course

cope /10chars

You clearly haven’t played any pservers if you think they are as OP as they are currently in full brutal gear at lvl 80. Sure, they don’t suck, but they are nowhere near their current level in terms of damage and tankiness

It could be worse, it could be 3.0 dk

tell me how a warlock can survive lichborne, ams, amz, strang, pet stun, gargoyle, perma slow, death pact.

ill wait.

I am not commenting on warlocks. I was talking about generally how good DKs are now vs at max level when everyone has same kind of pvp gear on.

Sure, they are an anti-caster class. That wont change. Locks will have a hard time 1v1

so the whole thread is talking about warlock vs dk 1v1 but only u are talking about dks in general?

you just a garbage on warlock, spec to destro, learn how to resummon pets, play felhunter and succub and you will have pretty much 33% chance to win if it’s good dk or over 50% chance to win garbage one

You don’t think DKs are overpowered atm in general? They’re currently anti everything.

Also would be funny to state that some class is ā€œOPā€ just because it beats one (1) class in PvP. That’s not OP, thats a counter class.

who are u even talking to? i never claimed dks are op (whether true or not)

just that warlock aint winning 1v1

Well, bg’s are not 1v1 luckily, nor are arena’s for that mather.

that is very true, team play is where warlock shines because of combination of damage & control and team can cover his weakness (virtually no defensives). warlock is brain of his team, but frail.

open world though dk is gonna jump up your a$$ from the sky and u can do nothing but watch :upside_down_face:

Ah yea, not going to comment on open world, don’t play on a pvp server.

I have played PVP DK in WOLTK for so long and I can tell u on p1 - p2 DK is probably the strongest class by far in 1v1 or open world PVP, it is just insane power, u can turn into blood and cut rogues into half in P1-P2 (there is literally no way a rogue can beat Blood DK (specially orc with 15% stun reduction its literally 2.5 sec stun max) but things will not stay this way for so long. When End-Game shows up, hybrid paladins can easily break any DK talents (even on start they are so powerful against DK) and lots of other classes like Ferals, Rogues or even Warriors and Frost Mages can beat a death knight. DKs start so powerful at first but they wont be able to do that for so long.
