PLEASE NOTE. YOU DO NOT NEED TO CALL OFF YOUR PET FOR IMPROVED DRAIN SOUL. EVEN IF YOUR PET GETS THE LAST HIT, YOU WILL STILL GET THE PROC!

yeah wtf it even states it in the description that it just needs to die while casting it

It's apparent you worked very hard on this guide. Well done!!

Amazing guide. Wish there were quality and comprehensive guides like this one for other mmos.

Pretty, pretty please make these videos for as many classes as you know well enough to make. These are some of the most comprehensive and succinct videos I've seen yet.

This is a FANTASTIC guide! Wow! Absolutely well done!! Thank you so much ❤️

0:07 that's a cool equip macro. Doing this before every dungeon now. Just RP walk a bit and press the super sayan button

Amazing guide, love it bookmarked, subscribed , and smashed that like button. For the Forsaken Warlock!

This is great work. The best thing about this video is the backgroundmusic from Thousand Needles

Thanks for all the tips! I’m rolling lock in classic! Can’t wait !

Best warlock guide so far. Keep it up.

Just booting up a lock alt now after doing arms warrior for most of classic. And man, its just amazing how versatile the lock is within the dps spectrum. Several very viable end game builds and in terms of leveling it feels like you can almost do what you want. Something might be optimal, but most of it is very viable, and my killspeed and sustain is very high regardless compared to my other toons

Bro, ty for this outstanding guide! Ima catch your strum tmrw =D

i just use /petattack and /petpassive and keep my pets on passive 100% of the time. i tried mapping petattack to immolate at first, but it got way too wonky with multiple mobs trying to multidot and shit without ping ponging my pet. i love attack and passive because i have total control over the pets. if my void actually manages to hold aggro i can press petpassive and then petattack to have him reposition the mob closer to me if i don't want to chain aggro a pat. if i'm in a dungeon i can put my full rotations on multiple mobs without sending my succy all over the place, and then when the mob she's on is about to die, i can preemptively get her to attack the next one without messing with my rotation at all. another quality of life thing i get to do is if i'm headed somewhere and i aggro some world mobs, i can just make my void or even the succy attack them, then i get to keep running free without getting dazed or anything. once i get far enough away i just hit petpassive and we're gucci. so much control with just 2 keybinds

I'm an OG pserver guy and very much enjoyed this vid, well presented and great soothing voice xd

Awesome guide! Looking forward towards a druid guide ^_^

you didnt mention the spirit of aquamentas offhand as an option as pre-bis offhand. its the 2nd best behind the drakestone and is probably the best option due to no RNG

The macro for having your pet attack when casting a spell is cool. But I prefer to bind pet attack to scroll up and pet follow to scroll down. Its super intuitive.

@Grimprospect

I actually would recommend binding it to shift+mouse wheel that way you can still zoom in and out. Of course, if you dont care about screen distance this doesn't matter much.

Nice video dude! Can you work on a Mage Guide? thanks!

Great Vid mate! Ty

You neglected to mention spirit of aquementas, an amazing alternative to farming that damn drakestone

I think petattack is important enough for its own separate keybind. When taking on multiple mobs it's so valuable to be able to order it around free of any spells.

Great video - need to work on blending that audio abit its quite jarring when you have headphones

This is a great guide. But the editing of your speaking is really rough. It just feels so so choppy. But thank you very much for the guide.

You do not need the killing blow to proc Imp. Drain Soul or to get a soul shard. You just need to have the spell active on the target when it dies to get both.

Thanks for all this helpful information. I haven't played any form of WOW in over 6 or 7 years but I'm sick now and can no longer work so im debating on starting to play again to help pass my time. I remember when I started playing the original classic I rolled a Warlock and I knew nothing at all about how to play my Toon or which gear was best to lvl or raid in. I was a total Nub but I learned to become very good especially at DPS in dungeons and raids. My question I have for you probably sounds pretty silly but one thing I very well remember from back in those days leveling my lock was when I would ask experience people playing which staat between two different ones was the best choice for a lock and I never got enough of just one single answer to decide which was more important. The two staats I'm referring to are ; Intellect or spirit. Which of those two were more important for a lock? Probably seems silly to you but that really stood out at me as a huge issue back then and I never did know for sure. Most told me warlocks didn't use spirit that spirit was for priest yet alot of cloth drops I would see had spirit on them and the drop may have even called out it was a locks Cape or wrist.

@Grimprospect

4 жыл бұрын

Well rather than avoiding any stat in particular I think you just need to keep a priority list in mind. And the priority list changes depending on when you are asking. For leveling after Stam/Int I think its perfectly acceptable to take gear with spirit on it. When you start to get closer towards end game Spell Damage and Spell Crit become very important stats for you to look for so you don't have much time for spirit. So I guess in short I wouldn't sacrifice int/stam for gear that exclusively held spirit on it but if you find a nice piece of gear with spirit it can be very helpful at early levels. But then again it all depends on what and how you are leveling too. questing/dungeon grinding =)

The last line of text, the /run, should be all one line of text to the end of the second line you have there. Just keep typing till your text wraps around. If that doesn't work it could be something wrong with the actual text of the line. I copy and pasted the exact text from my macro pool that worked. Just remember it will only delete the final item in your bags too. If you need more help let me know :)

Abyssal Shard is way better. you keep it forever. Eventually you just replace the staff...

As a former raider in Vanilla and BC please do yourself a favor and take the abyssal shard trinket. DS/Ruin is a great spec but you can save yourself shards for sacrifices. Raiding Allan get very shard intensive and there isn’t always a good source to restock, especially when putting heavy progression in late bosses.

In my experience the drain soul macro to call your pet off to get the killing blow is useless. At least with the Voidwalker, I always get the killing blow without calling him out. I know many guides are recommending to use this macro, but have you guys tried to go without it?
