[@kargozgaming]

hey guys, hope you enjoyed the video. if you want to see us run RL 2s throughout the week we are live regularly @ www.twitch.tv/bran_1015

[@kargozgaming]

also would love to get feedback on which videos you guys want next regarding warlock pvp sincere thanks for all the support over the years fam

[@brandroidx]

Huge thanks to Kargoz for the shoutout! We're so excited for TBC guys, going to be so much fun! Keep a lookout because we have some amazing stuff in the works for you guys!

@@kargozgaming I’d like to see some comp vs comp guides. Knowing when to multidot and when to solo target will be helpful

[@Outwardpd]

@@kargozgaming I think you could do a break down of various actual arena matches you're in, like give some visualization to your thought processes of why you make each decision that you do. In League of Legends people will do things like this, they'll also accept matches from other players and breakdown what they did wrong, when, where, and why. You can get like some slo-mo action going for some of those split-second reaction decisions to really highlight it, maybe some john madden style circles and stuff to highlight things, etc. I think if you were able to do that you can easily dominate the up and coming warlock PvP guide scene.

You can use Curse of Reck for spell reflects. Making yourself immune to fear for 2 mins

[@knglouie]

sick idea actually

[@johnnyzsalt5374]

Well that is some interesting shit right there.

[@TheGreatHeeroYuy]

I did sl/sl back in the day. Human warlock. Perception was clutch when going against rogue druid comp. Ran in with Perception and dotted whoever I saw first. Get the jump instead of getting jumped.

[@draj3214]

yo, i'm revisiting some videos as i came back into tbc later in the expansion (sunwell just dropped). this is a legit refresher from past memories. i really like your videos and style in them. thank you.

[@Outwardpd]

Immediately admitting that people should take this with a grain of salt was such a cool thing to do. Super humble and it definitely made you instantly far more trustworthy than 90% of guides out there.

[@Justagamerl]

7:56 curse of reck yourself when you see a warrior use spell reflection, easy.

[@darkshadow205]

So he kills you faster. That's good

[@terefinz]

@@darkshadow205 Rank 1 Curse of Reck will be your best global against a warrior when they spell reflect if the warrior hasn't yet used AoE fear or if the warrior is playing with a fear class like priest/lock since reflecting the curse onto yourself will immune you to fear for its duration. The armor reduction of Rank 1 Curse of Reck (-120 armor) is worth the fear immunity.

[@darkshadow205]

@@terefinz That would be a 200 iq play. Thanks for sharing

[@peterkostyan1413]

Edgelord here... If a warrior spell reflects, you can throw a lvl1 CoR making yourself fear immune... It's kinda niche but I thought it worth mentioning it.

[@mcfarvo]

That orc lock is looking nasty, my dude, looking forward to when you get to stream the real deal later this year 👌

[@bustersmusik]

Great guide man! You don't talk about destruction: Like when I should use Immolate, Searing Pain and Incinerate (I can see you have it on ur actionsbars, so I was just wondering about it). Another question: When I use AC on a mob and then use CoA, the dmg dosen't increase? Like it's bugged?

I am new to PVP, I have to say you explain things very well. I will be putting these into practice. Thank you for the video!

[@hullster9970]

@Kargoz, awesome quality video, i'm tired of low res video on YT now and this is a year old. What's the difference ?

[@jamessweeney6428]

Wait. Please explain why we shouldn’t put up multiple dots? You said don’t double dot. Don’t get that at all. I always throw up all my quick cast dots right away. In pvp I put agony on first, then corruption, then siphon life. I can cast all 3 while moving and not facing my opponent. I cast them while getting distance then I amplify and agony again. Then I sacrifice Hit coil. That gives me 3 seconds to cast fear. How else should I be doing it? Im really new to wow so I am always open to learning new things

[@aaronh.917]

Big brain at 10:05 well put

[@danielmalone4820]

I know I’m super late to this, but if any other new warlocks are stumbling by this video now as I did, another great comp for warlock is called Shadowplay in 3v3. Aff lock (Soul Link or UA: up to you really), shadow priest, and Resto shaman. You get multiple fears, multiple silences, tremor, grounding, and spellpower totems, bloodlust, drain mana and mana burn, lots of defensive or offensive dispels, and perhaps most importantly lots of dots and sustainability through siphon life, vampiric embrace, and earth shield. Personally I like to run this comp as full affliction with UA and an instant cast howl of terror, as having UA causes their healer to be a little more cautious about dispelling due to the silence mechanic.

[@wastonleil2629]

Hi what is your addon for your charracter portrait ?

[@LeonardLeafsFan]

This is helping pass the time waiting for pre patch. Good shit Kargoz

Edge lord comment: use rank 1 reck when war spell reflects

[@jmb9701]

Also pretty sure banishing the lock pet doesn't remove soul link on retail

[@lordofbacon1965]

I was hoping to see this comment from someone :D

[@tswdev]

Seed of Corruption has its uses in arena too. Like, when a hunter tries to hide in the pillars in nagrand arena, you seed the pet. He recalls it then gets hit by it.

[@keyanklupacs6333]

[@failproductionsdk]

Curse of reck is very good if theres just healer(s) left, since they would cast spells, the extra AP they gain dosent really matter, but the -armor would make a great difference when trying to burst down a healer if you have hunters/melees

[@lolleonlolable]

yooo i dont know if i should play ud/orc as a sl/sl warlock for pvp ? in my head orc sounds better vs all the rogues/warriors but idk ?

[@Yabooo]

You missed the first 3 pages of your Destruction spellbook!

[@MrBrownsugar85]

whats the usual sl/sl rotation?

Whats the point of having Soul link if you just sac the void?

[@wochaoainigejiba1211]

Why not have clear and separate sections on talents and spells.

[@YTaliasYT]

Hey man, if i sac the void as part of the ritual, doesnt that mean i have to cast a fel hunter mid fight? Am i missing sth?

[@lacobachraty5527]

Hi Kargoz! Is not undead race better for pvp warlock?

[@kanemaxwell3119]

Hey Kargoz, late to the party on this one but thankyou for the really good content on warlock PvP!

[@nvrenuff]

@Kargoz, can you share your UI addons, please?

[@nathanaelsanchez7276]

Epic, saving this vid for when tbc releases

[@epicscoreCS2]

Curse of reck, can be good vs clothies if you have a rogue / warrior / hunter. Looking at your own character you would drop from 1200 armor to 400 armor. If your AD dmg dealer is good geared this will buff him with 10-15% more dmg.

[@benganschow0116]

What name plate is he using with the moving frames on his name tag

[@rjganung8575]

Noticed I'm not getting master demonologist buff in arenas. In bgs the Vw'er with soul link and and passive 10% reduced dmg buff from MD talents as well as T5 set bonus for pet heals and warlock pet res trink is pretty op for mutual survivability purposes. I always consume shadows pre fight to get the 200atk power buff up on the void as well

[@jackhamilton6032]

Is felhunter the only pet to disappear whilst mounted?

[@AH-px6dj]

Hi Kargoz, could you please comment on which UI addon you are using. I'm sure some of us are dying to find out!

hey, question: does sl sl lock benefit from bonus healing power? let's say for pvp i would prefer "khadgar's knapsack" over "orb of the soul-eater"

[@danielmalone4820]

Super late response here, doubt you’re still looking for an answer, but in case you are; I would take Orb over the Knapsack simply because of the stamina on the Orb.

[@Drago02129]

What do you think of UA lock with a spriest for 2v2? I had pretty decent success with that in tbc but we weren't worldbeaters or anything

[@Damascene749]

It’s really good if you can use your dot on the healer properly. Its just harder to play since you have an extra dot to juggle. So you’ll have UA corruption curse immolate etc. Tbh I wanna try it too

[@blacklisted7672]

I use rank 1 curse of wreck on warriors spell reflect. I am now immune to fear for 2 mins.

[@michaelmller4582]

What's that unit frame??

[@tswdev]

Curse of Reck, when your rogue faces another druid healer or boomkin, throw that in when he is about to burst him down, gg.

[@ecalle8638]

Doesnt curse of rek make the target stay still even when feared? That might be useful for pvp

[@cinders9532]

Curse of reck makes you immune to fear so if you use it while warr is reflecting you become immune to his fear

[@benelenbaas536]

in pve u can fear juggle with recklessness, fear, then when your mob gets almost out of your range drop recklessness, when the mob is almost back to you apply a different curse and the fear will take effect again. and so on. so not really useful for pvp tho except maybe on av elites

[@yevai]

throw curse of recklessness on a warrior reflect and you cant get feared!

[@Scorpis91]

yeh that would work but also reduce your already low armor to make you ultra squishy lol

[@Prebz100]

If you play with a rogue/warrior that gets MC'ed, you could put curse of reck on them for fear immunity I guess.

[@kamol11114]

With SL/SL build, what would be your rotation if you happened to be in PVE dudgeon?

[@jamessweeney6428]

I load up multiple targets with siphon life first then I go back and hit each with corruption and curse of agony. After that I fill with alternating between life tap and drain life. Against casters though it’s a bit different. Casters I make sure to hit em with curse of tongues and make sure to stack those mana taps if your blood elf. Main thing is to make sure you always have fel armor and soul link up and siphon life on each target is priority for survivability. Hardest thing for me is keeping my void walker alive to be honest. Gotta rotate some health funnel and bandages in when you can. Also don’t be afraid to sacrifice then immediately fel domination and resummon. Least that’s how I play it. SL/SL changed my wow life. 😀

[@Ricaflect]

@@savvygames5474 70 less resilience and oppenent an orc vs Ud, also bad

[@jesstube112781]

SL/SL isn't viable for 1v1, it's more a spec designed for Arena or BG's where you can throw up siphon life on all arena targets and their pets while having some extra tankiness from soul link. 1v1 your probably best running a demonology spec and run a felguard, get your three dots up and with pet and drain life it's game over in almost all 1v1's.
