Forever Beta Feedback To all the Warlocks asking for stackable soulshards

Post image

You should know that this talent makes it so mages don't need reagents to make portals but does nothing for you. You'll still need to farm soulshards for summons. 😆

I’ve leveled 6 Warlocks to 60 in almost all forms of Classic it’s my most favorite class for a few reasons:

  1. Lore wise they’re the outcasts using essentially forbidden magic, class trainers are next to barn animals or hiding in inns.

  2. Leveling is unique a mix of fearing, dotting, life draining, and pet management.

  3. Powerful PvPers, as much as people talk about PvP if you understand your class and your buttons you can easily 2v1 people. Warlock is incredibly strong in the open world.

  4. Least played class. Why is this good? End game everyone needs you, you have insanely powerful buffs and being the most underplayed class you will have no competition for Tier gear and can save your rolls for other items.

  5. FREE 40 and discounted 60 mounts.

as a 20+ year warlock player this exact list is a huge part of why i still main it

Same, over 20 years, some off and on, always play a lock. I'll try mage or hunter alts, but then they get neglected because I love my locks so much. Only thing I would wish for, if I had one wish, is some kind of run speed boost! Shard management doesn't bother me as much as watching other classes pass me by on the road lol.

i always loved the implementation of burning rush from later expansions. it always felt pretty balanced cause of the constant damage you'd take if you left it on. oh and another one of my other favorites was demonic leap from cata - wod l. i missed that ability sooo much when they removed it

Also I love to delete people with one sequence of casts. It's so satisfying to seduce a player with my succ, hard cast Soul Fire, follow up with a combo of Immolate, Conflag and then finish of with Shadowburn. I know it cannot be pulled off very often but when it does it always gives me the giggles.

Gib me underwater breathing. I yearn for that buff

I’d also like to point out in terms of soloing your blue berry pet is able to pull mobs while you loot items, it also comes with a bubble which is awesome.

I really want to level a warlock and possibly main it and this list pushed me further in that direction

drain tanking was so much fun. and i know it's simple but making a macro to turn the imp on and off. the class has a lot of things to juggle while leveling which is a lot of fun.
