Blizzard Warlock Q&A thread!

Fellow Warlocks, unite! Blizzard has put up another Q & A thread for Warlocks, and it behooves us all to add meaningful and well thought out questions to it. This isn't a "What's wrong with our class" thread, this is a thread to get feedback from Blizzard on why things are the way they are. If you want to point out what you see as flaws, by all means do so, but if you want answers, make sure it's well written, has actual questions that Blizzard can answer, and if it's applicable, provide some reasonable examples of the scenarios which are leading you to ask these questions.

You can find some basic information about what Blizzard want to get out of these Q&A threads here

The official Q&A thread can be found here

To kickstart some ideas fermenting in your head, some suggestions given elsewhere are:
  • Limited Pet survivability in many encounters.
  • Inability of affliction to effectively CC targets via fear when they have dots on them.
  • The rather large vulnerability Warlock's have to melee.
  • Lack of dispel protection on immolate.

Re: Blizzard Warlock Q&A thread!

I posted this elsewhere, but it got ignored, and I still think it's pretty cool, so...

If there's anyone who hasn't heard of wordle, it's a online service that allows you to convert text into a word 'map' showing the prevalence of particular words within the text body by making them bigger. I've cut and pasted the messages from the thread here to see which terms were of greatest concern to the warlocks posting on these boards (took everything up to page 7 yesterday).



Here's the link : Wordle - Warlock questions

If we leave out a few of the obvious words like 'warlock', you can see that a few pop out as shared community concerns:

Most commonly used words:
- Threat (by a big margin)
- Melee (also sticks out)
- PvP (compared to PvE, pretty big concern)
- Pets (usually in connection to PvP, but lots of general questions)
- Affliction (the spec that has the most concerns)
- Damage (locks still feeling underpowered)

That, I think is a good summary of the things that are on warlocks minds.
