Warlock vs. Warrior
I apologize if this particular situation has already been discussed but I'm currently at work on my phone so searching through a few hundred threads is impossible for me. Anywho, a friend and co-worker will not shut-up about how his Warrior with Titan-grip can beat any Warlock from any spec no matter what the situation. I would really like to shove his foot in his mouth for him but I've never really gone one-on-one with a warrior now that the new talents are available. Any suggestions on what build and strategies to use against an opponent who's wielding a pair of weapons bigger than you? |

Re: Warlock vs. Warrior
Titan grip? I doubt it, personally killed many TG warriors post 3.0. Just kite as usual. Arms warriors however are a different story. Hamstring+Bladestorm is enough to finish pretty much any lock from 100%-0. This is obviously at 70, no idea about lvl80 pvp yet. |

Re: Warlock vs. Warrior
It seems you're not familiar to PVP sincs you did not met a warrior before. You must understand that PVP experience and gear is much important than specs. Anyway, with new talents, your tactic against all kind of melee must be heavy demo. Spec may be something like that: 7/54/0 Tactic is simple. Start running away before the duel starts but keep your pet in stay mode. You need to be out of charge distance. When duel starts intercept the warrior with FG. Put CoElements and Corr. on warr. Hit "win" button ( Meta), charge him, open your immolation aura, hit demonic empowerment, start casting short spells like Searing Pain. Refresh corr when necessary. Do NOT FEAR warr in demon form. Almost all your damage is your aura so you need to stay close to the opponent. If warrior is not dead in 30 secs of meta, fear him, call your pet, bandage , Healthstone, cast Curse of Agony, Corr send your pet, DC if warrior use PVP trinket. If he kills FG, pop a second one.

Hmmmm, it scares me that you describe my "strategy" for dueling warriors so well. Very well put  However in my experience it tends to work better if you throw some points into destro. The part about if the warrior is still alive is not as important. If they live through that, he is most likely out gearing/playing(If you use Lord Of Sounds strategy that shouldn't happen) pretty badly. Good luck in your duel! |

Re: Warlock vs. Warrior
You should know that the demon form, while extra beefy against warriors and rogues, is extra squishy to others. Other locks can banish you. Priests and pallies get cool attacks against demons. If you do not want to respec just for warriors (and rogues), the one tip I can give is that the pet of choice for them specifically is the succubus. If you are using it against them, they cannot dispel it as it is not a magical effect. They can break out sometimes but that burns a cool down. When they are charmed, get to MAX range and bolt them. Do not dot or the next charm will not stick as damage breaks it. Curse of exhaustion will keep them at bay until the girl's charm is ready again. You can also wait a bit before bolting them to be further through her cooldown. It might be a good time to bandage, for example. Always keep your distance. Only when they are nearly dead should you start dotting. IHTH |

 Well, I'm destro at the moment and while I was PvPing before the xpac I gotten the hang of it and was doing ok. I think Blade Flurry is probably the most OP ability in the game regarding what we can do about it. Especially if it's preceded with Hamstring. Bring on the Demonic Circle. That will help somewhat. That said, destruction is nice with the stuns and seduces and warriors do die often enough for me to consider it fair. I'd say go with Demonology, it was the spec I started learning about PvP a couple of years back. It's probably the most forgiving spec as you get increased health, resilience, flat spell damage etc from talents so it's a good starter spec to get some confidence, before you go on to try other things as you gear up. That's not to say it's a beginers spec, as it becomes more effective with your experience. It's just a bit easier to start with as you don't have the multitude of dots with affliction or the nukes and casting time issues with destro to decide between when you're pressured.

Re: Warlock vs. Warrior
I have never been downed by a warrior, one on one, Im spec'd demo. This works every time. I put the FG on agressive or defensive, either one works. I park him about ten yards away. The warrior charges and stuns me, then the FG charges the warrior. I come out of the stun first and DC the warrior and then fear him. Dot him up, SB and refear. done! Way to simple and easy. My spec is Warobi on Hyjal. |

 I have taken down more than a few but 100% success rate? Even GMs do not have 100% success against players. (I know GMs on EQ and have heard some GREAT stories!)You mention fear and refear. Warriors can shrug off fear a great deal if they are more than scrubs. In many situations fear is almost useless against them. That is why I suggested the succubus (above). |
