Warlocks need tougher armorFollow

You are right for everything but hunters, you need to get up in the hunter's face (and cast ya spells) or else if you fight a hunter at range their range damage bonus will make short work of you.

True, why I put hunters there is beyond me...

That's funny...because I won't use anything BUT my imp in bg, and I'm always one of the top 5, usually first or second place. I'm afflic spec, so I use it for dark pact, and the extra stam is a huge bonus since all of my gear is focused on +damage. It gives me that extra lasting power, especially again annoying *** paladins that like to dispel everything I cast on them. Eventually they run out of mana though, and the quick regen rate of my imp gives me enough to get that final round of dots off on them.

Yeah the IMP can be quite good, either for the stam boost plus a mana battery or else if demon spec can be a 1sec fireball throwing monster that boosts ya dps.

Admiral, since you are affliction spec why not cast UA on them?

Hey Admiral whats ya locks name? I wouldn't mind checking out your stats to see if I'm fearing alright as far as equipment :)

Heres mine:

What I think is ridiculous is that even with my last rank of demon armor, and top-notch non-heroic instance gear my Imp has more than 500 armor more than I do :_D


What I really think we need is for blizzard to "fix" outland equipment so that we warlocks can once again benefit from a larger life pool than most other classes, that was one of our strengths which has been blown to dust since TBC. It is ridiculous that we are supposed to be "hardy" casters and any mage's Hp and survivavility is equal or greater to ours (twice or thrice what ours is if Ice).

We should be allowed to wear plate just so we can once again be overpowered. :P


Seriously, if we had any more armor, people will start complaining that we are too strong, even if it was leather. Locks HAVE to be squishies for balancing.


I didn't read the previous posts, only the first one, so i might be repeating whats already been said.

warlocks dont need better armor they have a voidwalker which has the armor and lots of health yes in pvp they focus on you not the pet if warlock could wear leather they would be massivly overpowered due to the fact that they do massive damage and can take a lot of damage plus if one clothy all the sudden gets to wear leather that would mean that mages would want the same thing we are both squishy we just have to live with it both locks and mages do lots of dps but we just cant take much damage thats just how we are and i dont think blizz will ever change it.

I dont think they need more armor, imp demon/fel armor and soul link are all the armor they really need.

You answered your own question.
Warlocks DON'T need any better armor, in fact, we could play naked it won't matter.
First, we're supposed to be powned by few classes, as every class in the game. At PvP we have flaws, of course, and we need learn how to compensate them. If you're dying too much that's because you lack of warlock skillplay. We have ALOT health (I'm over 9k unbuffed), deal ALOT damage, have SEVERAL sweet spells and talents and we can kill most of the classes. You'll be owned by rogues, hunters and feral druids, but I bet you can kill warriors, mages and priests with your eyes closed. Also, I can't, seriously, think any warlock going melee to kill mobs or players. Maybe you should re-roll a melee char?
We don't need better armor. If we get in close quarter battle, we will prob. die. I play a destro warlock, I burn mobs and players before they can even get close to me, my only problem is against players who can stealth (rogues/feral druids) or attack from very far (hunters). And even against those, I can seduce them (with a succubus) or sacrifice the voidwalker for sweet 3800 shield, allowing me to deal with any player. Plus the HealthStone. Who need anything else??
