Warlock Guide By IAmDestro, How to play a lock.. Options

Hey I've been playing a lock on this server for a while and I can basically beat almost anyone 1v1 (beside warriors using berserker rage and rogues). Yes I was bored so I made this on photoshop so enjoy..

First off, switch up casting immolate and chaos bolt, Your talent spec who increase the damage of chaos bolt against targets afflicted by immolate so your losing minor but valuable damage by using chaos first.

Second, casting CoE while chaos bolt is in the air will do just as much damage as using it before CB at all. The curse will hit first unless the target is at PB range. If you dont believe me, immolate a training dummy and then CoE it midway through the dot. The damage per tick still goes up even though the curse was cast after Immo meaning the 13% increase is calculated when the damage is done not when the spell is cast. Nothing wrong with the cast order, but shaving a few seconds off always helps.

Third, it was a nice idea, but the fact this guide is nothing more than a cast order makes locks look like a faceroll class and other than fear spam you included no useful tactics on a specific class v class basis or provided any insight to the bugs and benefits of the warlock on this server. A guide should help players get better, or at least educate them to some degree about their class.

This "guide" says press these buttons in this order and win, oh but if you fight this class it probably wont work. What it should say is in most cases this will be enough to completely shut down your target, but against a warrior you should try some of these other tactics and then provide some helpful tips for beating warriors, but it doesn't do that.
