TBC Classic Warlock Gearing Guide - Classic items will use in TBC - Phase 6 BiS vs T4 Pre-BiS

[@shadowl95]

Great video man. I've been binging lock videos for the past 2 weeks. I'm glad i found your channel! Such great content and a great personality. As one of the lucky atiesh wielders I'm waiting for that ateish video! I'm looking forward to using my birbstick for a long time.

[@akasha1211]

Top notch info for all the Lock lovers

[@curbcheck3117]

Good to see more content from you Crix. Very well put together and I like the fact that you gave multiple options depending on how much we want to farm. I agree with some others that audio quality could be improved so that's something to consider.

[@CrixGuides]

Thanks for the kind words Man. Im glad you enjoyed. I'll be doing alot more Warlock Content after I finish up thus Series.

[@JD-gd1wj]

Super interested in the Atiesh video if you still plan on making one! would love to see how it compares and how long it lasts

[@CrixGuides]

Here is the link to the Official Warlock TBC Classic Discord.! discord.gg/YxGgS5Q5Nk

[@williamshine5]

For locks in the beginning of TBC I keep hearing there are a lot of threat issues with us pulling Argo. Is fetish of the sand reaver gonna be worth picking up, trinket- Reduces the threat you generate by 70% for 20 sec.(3min cd)

[@tonyrohr8919]

Another thing to consider is how much of your current level 60 gear has what enchants. Some of the pieces that are really close, dont compare when you have them enchanted.

[@jimmy_iKoN]

Keep grinding bro!

[@thanatos8412]

Since I am a Warlock getting Atiesh I am very interested in hearing your thoughts about how long that will be BiS especially considering new theory crafting that suggests the aura stacks. I don't see the video where you talk about this yet. Thanks for all the good warlock content!

[@bubbleosvn]

Soon as you get thrallmar rep to egg-salted you replace it 150SP on atiesh vs 159 on the 1h sword from rep

[@thanatos8412]

@@bubbleosvn It's 183 SP (including aura) and 28 crit + it gives all the other casters in your group + 33 SP which more than makes up for the few crit and sp the warlock would miss out on by having an offhand equipped. That's 132 extra SP in the raid for free.

[@aloysius_music]

great vid crix, just wna recommend you take a look at boosting some highs of your audio recording with an EQ in your editing software, voice is a little muffled sounding :(

[@CrixGuides]

Thank you for your kind words. And yeah, I'm so bad at Audio. I tried to use my editing software to even it out, but didn't work as well as I wanted lol.

[@aloysius_music]

@@CrixGuides the struggle is real

[@CrixGuides]

@@aloysius_music Do you suggest a certain voice software.?

[@Papoxa]

Hey, bro! Loved the vid, and subbed based on this :D Looking forward to more info for this new age of TBC, that's unknown for so many of us. I wanna ask you about your wand and ring choice, here. You went with Doomfinger, even though top parsers (and most bis-lists) use Wand of Fates (for hit). Does this change anything for warlocks who have Wand of Fates and not Doomfinger? And about rings; you went Seal of the Damned instead of Band of the Inevitable. Let's say a warlock followed a bis list that included these two instead of Doomfinger and Seal of the Damned. Any changes?

[@Khadeezy]

excellent vid. im still saving prio for nel's tear. have passed on so many of these aq pieces lmao. makes me cry irl actually.

[@fortyfivedollars45]

Love the video, been enjoying all the warlock content :)

[@CrixGuides]

Thank you Man

[@PinkSpaceHippy]

But what about boots? Aren't you missing Crystalweave Bracers from Apexis Shards?

[@SimonGoldberger]

Hey Crix, did you ever get to do that Atiesh vid you mention in here ?

[@CrixGuides]

I did not. I got wrapped in all the madness.

[@SimonGoldberger]

@@CrixGuides bugger, looks like if the gods are kind with Naxx clearing that I'll be getting it, so your thoughts would be well received if you feel like making it.

[@PhoxUwU]

have not found any video on the atiesh in TBC. could u make that video?

[@rangermpcp]

This was hella useful, glad to hear this naxx gear will last, hope brimstone and wand of fates are decent investments too

[@justjestering1646]

Just wanna give a heads up that unlink Classic where they only had the very last patch, Blizzard has explicitly stated they have all the TBC patches. so my guess is they are going to start from the beginning rather then the later patches.

[@CrixGuides]

Yeah that's what i'm hoping for as well. Once they let us know what they're launching at, i'll make new ones 1000%

[@tswizzy5526]

You should make that atiesh video

[@fortyfivedollars45]

What about Drums of battle in the trinket slots? In what cases is this LW item BIS? Thank you :)

[@p1stolspkallday]

Great video :D Can you do one on mages please?

[@CrixGuides]

Yep! I will be doing one for each class. Next is Priest then Mages.

[@p1stolspkallday]

@@CrixGuides Awesome! Look forward to it!

[@qstileq]

Where are you getting your stats for the classic gear? I have most of the gear you listed on my lock and none it is accurate. No piece of classic gear has more than +2 to hit on it. You have pieces that have +8, +12 and +16 to hit.

[@CrixGuides]

Have to check the TBC Databases my friend.

[@qstileq]

So you are comparing TBC gear to TBC gear not classic gear to TBC gear as you stated in the video. I understand now.

[@Baardnick]

what race would u recommend for warlock in tbc (horde)? mostly for pve, but also a bit pvp

[@CrixGuides]

Orc is BiS for PvE. And really good for PvP as well. Blood Fury affects SP in TBC(143sp) UD is usually the pick for purely PvP.

[@Baardnick]

@@CrixGuides okay, cheers my friend! male or female tho :PPP

[@somasview3591]

Hey Crix I really enjoy your videos. I have a suggestion about next warlock video. How effective are the blackbook and AQ20 3 set bonus with Fel Guards while leveling up in TBC?

[@CrixGuides]

They're huge. Black Book is much needed

[@Cheekijake9]

I just started playing classic to lvl a warlock for tbc what should I do for gear when I hit 60? Try to raid or just wait for tbc to get these blues

[@ZackKolin]

What are your thoughts on The Black Book Warlock trinket?

[@CrixGuides]

It will be mandatory for anyone who is running the FG build.

[@ZackKolin]

@@CrixGuides Alrighty, so I still got some BWL runs in me. Sounds good!

[@WarriorTSW]

I may or may not take “inspiration” from this video for warrior

[@CrixGuides]

Do it.! I'll be doing one for every class. I just won't have cam anf be rambling since they're not my class. 🤣

[@connorsmith2059]

Crix. I’m currently an undead warlock in classic. Are orc racials good enough to reroll?

[@CrixGuides]

I am also an UD Lock on Classic and I wont be swapping to Orc. Its 143 SP, which is obviously really good. But TBH until I know if Blizzard server will be super easy or harder, I dont think its worth.

[@connorsmith2059]

@@CrixGuides great point. I’ll be rolling in naxx gear gear w a tear which is tempting to drop atm. I had no idea some of these classic pieces would last so long! Thanks for vid keep blastin

[@Fros3nx]

Love this video bro! You have an awesome personality! Btw, what specc would you run to progress naxx? And why?

[@CrixGuides]

I actually did not prog Naxx. I quit back iN BWL!

[@CrixGuides]

I forgot a weapon!. There's a better weapon than Stormcaller/Blade. Eternium Runed Blade, it's extremely expensive and not worth unless you're getting it for ultra Cheap.

[@Zethic2884]

Where that Atiesh talk at? :D

[@Zethic2884]

Thanks for the vids btw - love the content

[@samguochen7588]

great video bro!

[@survivalsearcher]

I think the 2% crit for the socket bonus could make the bracers an easy decision...

[@ungrimironfist5740]

No boots comparison?

[@CrixGuides]

Yeah. There wasn't anything remotely close to the Pre-BiS in TBC. The closest was T3 Boots iirc. I should've mentioned that! My bad.

[@rangermpcp]

@@CrixGuides does that mean move DKP prio on T3 feet a bit lower than other longer lasting upgrades cuz thy won't last as long?

[@CrixGuides]

@@rangermpcp I 100% think so and i've been suggesting this to Guilds. They should swaptheir Raid Prios to TBC Prios if they intend to Raid.

[@Baardnick]

do you know of any bigbrain tbc hunters btw?

[@papzhd867]

I really love this youtuber, he looks like a snack, but problem is he plays warlock in TBC and loses to Mage in T6. Dunno if I would follow this guy about warlock guides

[@CrixGuides]

Lol. Love you too Brotha.

[@darthsphincter909]

Typical Retbull

[@Fvncyx]

where the boots at though?

[@vjiffy8598]

What about the boots!

[@appledustappledust9290]

Make a video on your addons

[@CrixGuides]

It's really just Elvui and in the description is the link to the Pastebin so you can use it too.!

[@turbomalder5257]

Nice vid m8

[@CrixGuides]

Thanks Man.

[@PKJeff88]

THink you skipped boots

[@Spencerburner]

You should replace your pillow with a microphone

[@peter486]

TBC Jesus :)

[@praedonius9693]

aldor or scryer mate

[@indynoh]

nice video, but you are complete ignoring the INT = crit + mana and stamina on the items... sometimes stats are the same but the tbc item has twice int and stamina :P imagine how often a t3 warlock have to lifetap with maxrank shadowbold if he only have 60 % mana compared to a tbc prebis warlock ^^ ....T3 warlocks will die from every little shit in heroics because they are missing 30 % maxHP

[@markblaze4909]

1100 gold isnt tha tmuch for a bis pve belt that is useful for pvp

[@markblaze4909]

rime covered mantle is better than t3 shoulders in classic bro especially considering no hit so rimecoverd useful for pvp unlike t3

[@CrixGuides]

Yes, this was the first of the Series, so I missed a couple things. I'll be doing thr Pre BiS guide for everyone once we know what Patch we're at. However rime won't be good for PvP. Most of the gear won't. There's no Res on it and you want Res/Stam.

[@sashakachuyevski8947]

You forgot boots!

[@Gs-vp4lq]

Great video's high quality keep it up! :)

[@CrixGuides]

Thank you!

[@jorgecorpancho1842]

undead or orc?¡¡?¡?¡ hmmm

[@Mammel248]

pve? orc. blood fury increases spell damage in tbc pvp? debatable, would say undead for double dps arena comps, orc for anything else (including bgs)

[@fridarey]

Watched 5 mins and I have no idea which item he was recommending. Audio so low & muffled doesn't help either.

[@CrixGuides]

Its more or less just me showcasing how strong Classic items are in comparison to T4 Pre-BiS items.

[@LordEpstein]

hard to hear

[@markblaze4909]

why do you keep saying skip heroics the best part of tbc is that pve is actually fun because of HEROICS why the hell would you not do heroics? especially for warlock who has seduction/void tank and fear and hot we are the cc kings which is what dominates heroics. EVERY HEROIC wants 1 warlock 1 mage 1 hunter as dps for their cc

[@markblaze4909]

you are over rating hit. hit is not even useful in pvp once you hit easy cap and with seduction and fear you dont even need to hit if you miss who cares. just recast a new sbolt in pve hit has a high value but its not flat out #1 prio. end game right now 1 hit is about 14 sp 1 crit is about 10 maybe more if you consider improved sbolt.

[@CrixGuides]

1 Hit does NOT equal 14Sp lol. Hit is your main concern when you hit 70 and start gearing.

[@markblaze4909]

your title doesnt say pve. you know that tbc is the PVP expansion. people dont even care about pve bro -0 scrubs i guess
