World of Warcraft

 So I got my aff spec done yesterday and when I FINALLY got in at 10 o'clock at night I updated the new spec and went into AV to try it out.  My lock is in all T4/T5/S2 gear, only none epic item is medallion of horde trinket and I was getting ONE SHOT.  

Yes ONE SHOT folks.  That NEVER used to happen to me before the patch.  The most now I last against a melee profession if I cant get off a fear is 3 shots.  Oh and how about the fact I have to stand there like a lump of wood to cast on top of it!!!  Instant cast dots now say cannot cast while moving!!!!

I'm hoping this is balanced out at level 80 because at level 70 warlock is so horribly nerfed it's not even funny.

Try being a healer with these kinds of DPS outputs.

Perhaps they balanced the classes for level 80, but this ain't funny.

I blame the Beta testers, at least they should have warned us.

 Well good thing is I have a lvl 70 shammy, druid and 67 huntard so I have other classes I can play.  But lock was definately my favorite.  Will miss the class because as it stands now, lock in unplayable.

heheh...locks have been relative crap since TBC was introduced. you should feel lucky you're only just now realizing the futility of the class.

Umm,you do know that t4/t5 gear is raid gear,not pvp gear and that is why you are probably getting your tail waxed.Try using pvp gear and play with your spec for awhile. My lock is not having much trouble at all in pvp.Try this too,Do not think 1 vs. 1,think group tactics,because in wow they are group focused. Goodluck with your warlock they are not as bad as everyone is making them out to be.Everyone is too used to being over powered,and now that they are more in line its to be expected. Destruction Spec is putting out some really awesome dps.
 

Try checking the Warlock forums. Players are putting new builds together that are actually working out well. Nothing solid yet, but It's leaning towards Demo/Destro now.

UMM i cast dots while moving all the time... but ok

My lock isn't very happy right now either. I kind of knew I wasn't going to be pleased with it from the feedback on the beta forums. Meta is pretty fun, the rest is just very boring and bland, doesn't give the refreshed feeling like I get on my others. I dunno if I'm going to continue to play it as my main or not in WoTLK. Hopefully DK is fun.

I wager that a PvP DPS cut is coming soon

don't have my locks acct active right now, but didn't they make soullink an 11 point talent? so pretty  much every lock should have it in PvP for the 30% mitigation right?
