WoW: Do you need skills to play as Warlock?

Posted Jul 27, 2007 at 12:26PM by Enrico S. Listed in: Opinions & Analysis Tags: Blizzard

There is a long tradition of class bashing in the MMORPG forums, and it is the same with World of Warcraft. There have been players who complain about a number of things, but one topic that seems to recur on a regular basis is the idea that playing as Warlock does not need any skill at all.

Quite a few players have come to the defense of the Warlock saying that it's not hard to play a Warlock, but it takes real skill to play it well. When you think about it though, this is something that could be said as well among all the other classes.

Blizzard blue poster Saltherm responded to this thread in a timely manner: "Skill is available to all builds of all classes. We would never prejudice against a build by requiring that they no longer pursue this extremely useful trait."

The forum moderator has voiced out something that quite a few players have been advocating for some time now. If a person keeps gets beaten by a certain class, analyze what allows them to win, stop whining, and just do something about it.

Well I would definitely agree with the summation of this article. Stop whining and figure out how your opponent is winning and do something about it. I for one can attest to this. I have a mage and I love to pvp. I kept getting owned by every lock from Kalimdor to the Eastern Kingdoms. My frustration consumed me to the point of madness where I found myself bound and determined to find an answer to the locks dominance.... So I rolled a BM hunter and I've been owning locks ever since.

any body can play any class, ppl whine cuz locks have a fast array of tools, but that doesn't mean theres no skill, my bars are packed with buttons, each highly situational. i don't agree with locks that spam fear, but at higher lvls that less of an issue. the fact is ppl are upset cuz locks can dot u up instead of fighting u in close range. that being said, locks are ganged up on in pvp most of the time, so not like they can do much
