Fair enough :)
It was early in the morning when i read the Q&A, had just come back from a get together with friends. So yes, /tantrum is over now.
I openly admit that I am a far better Feral druid/rogue than i am a warlock, and that just really comes down to who i am and what i'm capable of/best at. Nothing wrong there, either with me or with the classes. It's just an issue of aptitude and what i enjoy.
My only real argument is that I believe warlocks are generally weaker in all forms of PvP combat than stealthers, not just in certain situations that would be more advantageous to a stealther class, but in all situations, barring a couple questionable "niches" for ranged dps in PvP. Niches like downing a defense cannon or siege vehicle in WG, or DoTing up a large number of people in a crowded BG scrap.
So my argument against the current state of the warlock is just that it *seems* to me that warlocks are generally weaker than some (i think many) classes at all times and in all situations in PvP. And that is what troubles me about the class.
But I appologize for the /rant and I wholeheartedly agree that I am a terrible warlock. I dislike casting times in general in a PvP environment. I don't play particularly smartly in terms of pressuring healers, or using my powerful ranged CC to optimal use under pressure.
Compare that to my learned ability as a stealther to lock the right people down at the right times, dynamically react to a combat situation, knowing when to engage and when to back off and restealth or cast CC, and knowing when to switch targets and not indulge in tunnel vision...
I think it's clear what play style my brain favors. And that's okay.
I think the one constructive thing that comes out of my rant last night is that I do believe a Feral druid or rogue is an excellent choice for any 1st-toon warlocks out there who find themselves similarly frustrated with their class. I enjoy PvP and PvE 100 times more than I ever did as a warlock. I can't recommend stealthers highly enough.
