ok, after all the time of nerf warlocks topics and so, i decided to make something like guide, what to do if u keep geting pwnd by warlocks, since no class in wow is stronger or weaker, i would like u ppl to help me with this guide by adding more tactics and also hunter class(the only 1 i dont have experience with), so we might get pvp forums, and not nerfwarlocks forums

as 1st i would like to say that i made this by myself and that it took me time, so pls dont post on alts etc, im not going to defend warlocks and im prolly gonna reveal some tricks, but as i said, im sure that people want pvp community where we discuss about tactics and fights, and these mass whine threads are just pathetic, i want nice fights myself, not enemy runing to 5 others when they see warlock in bg / world

i play paladin, warrior and warlock on live, got borowed acc with priest, and tried on ptr druid shaman rogue and mage, and i would like to say something to these classes if they whine at warlocks, since im not skilled in more classes than pala and lock, yet locks never been problem for me (maybe cuz i know how they work, but dunno)
ppl sometimes say that lock requires no skill to play etc, before u actually say this, try another class, most of them are easier, ofc that dot dot fear drainlife is easy, but u will fail when u meet real pvper
this is not theorycraft!!!, it is my pvp experience in last 2.5years of pre-bg,bg honor, duels and arena pvp and before everything u have to be atleast used to pvp, know how to fake cast and so

as paladin (they whine at locks kinda often) u can win any spec lock with any spec usable in pvp (sorry prots, dont have exp in this) also i write it mainly vs hardest lock specs to beat (27/34 or xx/4x/11 destro is joke)

as heal spec 41/20 43/18 etc, u can kill pet in fast burst, if lock has 0.5sec summon ready kill 2nd, keep yourself dispeled and after 2nd pet is dead just outheal the lock to death, there is no resistance to holy spells so pets die fast
as spelldmg spec 40/0/21 u kill pet much faster, then burst lock down, u will have weaker heals, but u still will outlast them
as retrib, dont be noobs, u wont get far with mindless melee bashing and no casting, keep yourself dispeled, if felhunter out, kill it asap so ur not geting SoC devoured, use r1 SoC while pet is up, if lock is affli, try to wait for moment when u dont have ua on and dispel, if long time on ua, bubble and kill lock while bubbled, allways doable if comparable gear( u usually dont fight 350 resi locks while in instance gear)

as warrior(yes funny that right this class, but yet they whine at locks too)
yes, all 3 builds are good vs lock, and well, who has prot as dead build, should try it, it is killer(gear again)
also as warrior u need to know pvp abit, and spam spellreflects, with some practice u will get when is lock going to deathcoil u so u can get rdy

as 2h ms spec, get some rage and dps in bursts, allways keep rage for pummel, it works vs drainlife spammers rly good (ofc u dont hit pummel at end of drain, allways think about few ms lag)
as fury dw spec, u have some nice bursts and high and fast, dont forget pummels and spellreflects
as prot (prolly the most underrated spec in whole wow pvp) are all spec locks very easy, since u can use spellreflect without switching shield and stance, shieldslam does very high dmg, slows and interupts spell (has shared cd with pummel so not needed to switch stances), as prot u even can dispel locks felarmor so u reduce their spelldmg and +healing gained

as shaman (they allways whine how underpowered they are)
same as paladins, dont be mindless dpsing, even enha should get some hp back(tho the heals rly suck)

as resto, dont bother using earthshield if felhunter out, waste of mana, have weapon enchanted with something that allways procs (firebrand?) dont mindless spam totems, use grounding in right times only, dont bother with tremor, fear wont kill u, u can outheal everything lock does, r1 earthshock interupt all shadow casts (if lock is mainly shadow build, 2second cast imolate wont hurt u, and with u melee hiting him wont get it out till next es is rdy)
as enhancement(experienced in 2h only, not dw) use windfury wep and totems, grounding and earthbind are your friends, once u get close to lock u win,frostshock will help u lock can devour so kill the pet asap, purge his armor and r1 earthshock / grounding all his shadow spells, tho if he wants to survive he has to instant kite u cuz he dies if u get close
as elemental, kill pet, they have resistances, so might take a while, keep tremor and stay close to it, use grounding when lock casts longer time spell (dots and drainlife wont kill it)

as druid(very hard, long and usually nice fights)
for all specs, if u need to get a heal, bash pet and cyclo lock, that is only way how to get hp back if fighting good lock, lifebloom is your biggest friend vs felhunter locks

as resto, this is about who gives up first because good druid vs good lock has no end, u cant kill their pet, they cant get ur hp down cuz u have hots on 24/7, pet dispel removes 1 lifebloom charge which auto heals u, dont let them drain ur mana, feral charge as much a s u can
as feral,dont be a rogue-u dont have their defences, there is reason why u have 3 combat forms, maim to get time,feralcharge drains, u have fear resist, and fear will never kill u (diminishing returns resets when u change form)
as balance, dont rely on moonkin form, use all your cc often, root pet(1 dispel / 8sec is rly not that good how ppl sometimes say) use lifeblooms alot, if lock rather dispels himself, use r1 magic effects on him then real (dispel cd)

as priest (most pathetic lock whiners, usually fails) this class i the real nemesis in pvp if played well, unkilable (dont go pvp with 2k healing or 1500 shadowdmg and 7k hp 0 resi)
dont forget that lock drains are dispelable before they even tick, dispel is your strongest weapon vs lock, use shadowfiend when u at 50-60% lock has no way to hurt it and use fear alot, your does not break like lock one does, so use it

as shadow, dont bother dispeling shadow wards, absorbs 900 is joke-u will just waste gcd, swp on both lock and pet, if he rather dispels himself, use ranks1 then normal ranks, and use vamp embrace on lock, not touch, keep yourself dispeled and dps lock down
as nonshadow, dispels and manaburn, keep swp on lock and burn all his mana, use fears alot when both pet on u and u close to lock, use hots, and dont forget that lock pet has mana too, and that is very small manapool

as mage(dont even try to fight lock who outgears u) -i dont know how arcane spec woks
very very strong class in pvp, i havent found anticlass yet
fake casts are ur biggest friend, use all buffs u can find in ur spellbook vs felhunter

as fire, dps lock hard and only lock, if sl specced - pet will die in seconds, use dragonbreath when u hit both pet and lock, good locks keep pet further so this does not happen, u need to nuke lock down rly fast, use blink to daze lock, keep runing around, blazing speed helps alot. this works on top gearsm why shouldnt it work in normal gears
as frost, sheep so locks wastes devour, be aware of banish on elemental or fear, dont waste cs for few seconds of silence, use frost nukes to dps, u cant kill his pet if sl, u cant outlive him, only u can is to nuke him, for this u have nova / pet novas+bolt+lance spams

as rogue(the anticlass of warlocks, what more to say?) -dont rly know all builds, just basics(was enough to do good)
dont think that lock cant win u, never underestimate ur enemies, keep cp for deadlythrow incase lock could get range after unexpected insignia+coil
be ready with clos after u kidneyshot, 95% of locks will use insignia+coil when u put the 5sec ks on, save energy for kick so they cant drain, also try to stay behind, cuz then lock cant start draining
