Cataclysm Warlock Changes Guide Part 1

great guide ! helpful for 12 years later when cata comes after wotlk :)

so if u can have all the glypsh wat Insc is for?

@Optec Optec whats your opinion on enchanting and tailoring in terms of stat buffing? I dont know much about tailoring, only really about the pants chant and I think something about a cloak chant. Thanks

@Avario468 Research on being a lock in groups, and dont worry your best work is around lvl 60 and then you will be a DPS powerhouse for casting. Also helps if you tweak your talent trees to what YOU feel is more fun, personally if your used to a shaman i'd go affliction or destro.

locks got raped this expansion

i'm a lvl 35 warlock (i know i'm noob) i find myself extremely weak compared to other classes, i do less dmg in my dmg meter than the tank... but when i used my shaman i always got top, i'm also using a proper build and proper rotation but i am still extremely weak?

what's your favorite warlock spec? :)

@kaysh1 mages generally harder hitting...but destruction warlocks have alot more burst than they used to and can pull some really big numbers in single target fights. affliction is now the number 1 aoe spec out of any class. i would recommend either because both have a pvp spec, single target spec, and a aoe spec.

@Optec Hehe iam not saying its bad, its indeed awesome what you've done :D Thanks for the upload, im waiting for more videos from ya m8! :D

@vasbyollu wish I gad after effects and a better mic :) only tried the trial on AE and I only have my headset mic :)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA I Want Felflame, I'm Just Going To Run Around And Keep Spamming It And Yell PewPew, And I Will Be Happy.

aw, uldum just looks so damn nice! can't wait to start leveling there

How do u call sown a inferno is it in training

can i dot mage, soulswap wait til he will use ice block and use soulswap on him again?

glyphs i see as this prime= big changes major= neat new effects minor= lil petty stuff to your quirk spells any way thats how i see it and very nice job on the video ^^

@qustav37 Nope its just on the global cooldown

@qustav37 I levelled tailoring from 0-420 in a day when I just wanted the back enchant. With a couple of k gold you can do it easy. I ground the lower level cloths and just bought the rest. The carpet is awesome the fact that it is really small is useful as you will find the dragons all massive when on the ground (can't fit through doors etc :p) and in cata all mounds (even non epic ones) are 310% speed with training.

As an affliction warlock at heart, I am loving the Seed of Corruption. THEY LISTEN!!!!! :D :D :D And I totally agree, it should have done it in the first place, but I like it anyway... been waiting for it for a while now.

Hello Optec. I have been a fan of all of your videos so far. I am curious to know when you will create your next video? I would like to see something on Destro @ lvl 80. I would like to see your thoughts on it. Thanks

Great vids dude, just logging in now and i'm dreading having to learn all this shit again :)

Are you from sweden?

Agreed on the green flame glyph

@pedernico Yeah it's just a new spell not a talent.

@KontoError I levelled in destro and used the imp. However on reflection the voidwalker hits hard enough and can hold agro so I would have probably been better off using that. Even so with the imp and shadowfury and conflag and glyph of fear you can kite pretty much anything. I was taking elites one level above me fairly easily.

@Optec What spec did you Level in? And what Pet did you use while leveling?

@MrTacojuan It will be given as a normal spell to learn from trainer

@Optec *logged

@MrTacojuan As I understand it the Doomguard is just a learnt spell now although I can't confirm this as I already knew it when I lokkeg onto beta. The trainer has the spell 'Summon Doomguard' as a spell I have already learnt so I assume you will just have to visit a trainer when the patch hits. Also before the patch you can get a doomguard by killing demons in the blasted lands they sometimes drop the book that teaches it.

I never did the quest for the doomguard, will it just be given or will i have to do it?

@Optec Yes indeed so did i! lol

I feel like all of my shards will go towards making portals just to run fast.

I literally lol'ed when I watched this with captions

@DesertSmeagle lock obviously :)

ok i wana start a worgem....rogue, warrior, or lock?

nice video, sir, looking to play warlock in cata and this is pretty helpful

@cris41384 just tested on PTR and it can be casted on players

@usaid1234 I've been busy this weekend and haven't had time the last few days but tomorrow I am making sure I get back to the guide :p. Probably wont take just a day to make depends when I get back from work.

when is part 2 coming i really wanna watch part 2

@cris41384 To clarify Bane of Doom only appears to manifest imps (I have tried in demo and affli specs I don't think it affects it). The pet it spawns can be up in addition to your normal pet and your temp pet (doomguard and infernal) so yes you can have three pets now albeit for 15secs. Bane of doom can be cast on players yes.

@adioprotege2 Aww thanks man :). Apologies for there being no affliction guide before cataclysm but there almost certainly will be one after I start raiding in cata :).

oh and 1 more thing...can Bane of Doom be cast on players now? because the new spell doesn't say any limitations like " cannot be cast on players" unlike before when it was still "curse of doom"

WHOA!! is that BANE OF DOOM true?? i mean can it really summon a RANDOM demon even with my other demon is out or EVEN A DOOMGUARD OR INFERNAL is out??? Did it ever randomly summoned other demon rather than imp like maybe a felhunter, a succy or even another FELGUARD??( demo spec of course) That will definitely be AWESOME!! Imagine a felguard out then summon an INFERNAL then BoD randomly summoned another demon say an imp or succy, 3 demons out raping your opponent! while you just sit back

@julianhpike Isnt soulfire for destro? atleast it does fire dmg...

Now I returned to the dark side! Booyah, Lock will be my first 85, I've missed my little gnome for å while now
