Hi all, as a new Lock(lvl24), I find that if I draw aggro off my VW, there is no way to get the mob back on the VW. The problem then is survival, it is difficult to fear the mob when it is whacking you severely about the head and shoulders with a dirty great sword. I don't like to run away and start again, and Lock cloth armour seems to be made of tissue paper.
Have played hunter to lvl70 and mage to 63, so I am used to their type of game play.
I am affliction spec, with the best greens I can get on the AH, with Int and Stam.
Basically what I am saying is, if I get an add I am stuffed and I never felt so vulnerable playing my other toons.
Any help/advice on gameplay appreciated

3 points in Improved Voidwalker talent will change everything.

Well, you could get a threat meter to ensure you dun grab aggro.

Or you can use standard 5-man/raid aggro prevention methods like waiting 3-4 seconds before dpsing.

Or you cld use drain tank method ( once you have your succy,its been so long since i did the quest i forgot the level i get the succy,i tink level 30 sadly so you r 6 lvls off)i.e have your succubus DPS,you alldot up the mob and drain life thus " tanking".This method is widely acknoeldged as one of the easy ways to level a lock and i lvled all 3 locks using drain tanking method.

Anyway GL
