Warlocks and WSG (21-29)

[SandDemon]

Alright, I've decided to stop my warlock at the 20s range so I can attempt to get honored in WSG (ring is sexy) since the gear will last me quite awhile. So after seeing the aftermath of the 11-19 range (rogues with 2-2.5k health and dual crusader), I'm hoping the 21-29 won't be as bad because the gap between the enchants and players won't be so alarmingly huge.

On that note, I can't decide between three builds to try out:

Super Imp:

Since firebolt and shadowbolt are new spells at 28, this would just pretty much maximize the damage output of them both. The question though, is how much mana does an imp have @ 28...and is it worth it? And those trailing animations to me are like a huge arrow saying "kill him!"

Searing Pain Shotgun:

Searing pain is at 26....just capitlizing again with talents. Assuming some decent gear, looking at a rough 20% crit rate with searing pain. Wear a crud load of +fire gear including a firestone, and it might not be that bad. No trail = ninja nuker

OMG DONT TOUCH ME!:

I'd pretty much land the curses (amplify CoA) and run like a little girl while I watch it eat down there life (fear when possible...but I'm gnome, dealing with undead). Spam Drain Life when I've got the moment, so I can get an instant cast shadowbolt every once in awhile.


What ya guys think?

Awww, no one has an opinion? :)

I have an opinion.

Make a rogue with HP enchants and dual crusader.

Gotta love the useless forum trolls....

They arent trolling. They are educating you.

Meh. My warlock dominates in 19 wsg with 1400 hp and +30 spell power on his +11 shadow damage witching stave. Look out bitches!

[Jedus]

I dont know about 19. But at 29 Rogues just tear shit up in WSG.

Did you focus more on bolts or curses? Still can't decide what is better.....bolts kill faster but are harder to pull of (and it's a scaling problem with most twinks having insane hp), but curses do more damage over time....but how long do you survive versus dual crusader twinks :)

I guess it's entertaining to be waiting as a ghost and get kills from DoTs

They are even better in 19 where you have less talents and spells. At 29 I could build a warlock that would make even the frostshock bow down.

Demon: You only have ten points to spend. I went 15% stam and instant corruption.

Just sac the voidwalker and fear-rape the rogues. Kite like the wind.

[SandDemon]

What would you have at 29 then?

I'm real tempted to get that +21 shadow staff in Razorfen Kraul and give it the +30 spell-power enchant......+51 shadow on one item at 29 would be damn nice

[SandDemon]

Well it's twink time!
