Why did vanilla/tbc warlocks so fun?

wat

Getting nerfed in every single patch and routinely stunlocked to death by rogues was not fun.

>>386129854
That was the fate of everyone who wasn't a rogue himself or a warrior during vanilla.

I don't have any problem against rogue, with the new "anti stun" skill they gave to everyone.

I loved being a warrior in Vanilla, except that part where I dedicated myself to being MT.
Before I took up the mantle, going in BG with my AR and MS mother fuckers for days.
Oh and rouge dodges? be a shame if I OVERPOWERED you.

>>386129563
Warlocks were fucking terrible in vanilla until like 1.9. Not sure what you mean by fun

They also had the dumbest talent tree in the game

All my friends were on alliance, so my choices were gnome or human. And I sure as fuck wasn't going to pick gnome.

>>386129563
because they could summon hostiles in major cities and fuck with people. whats not to like about them?

at least they have got a free horse and a free tank.

>>386129563
i mained lock through all wow(except legion) and cata lock was the most fun i had. especially demo lock tank with that glyph

>>386130282
>major cities
If you released an Infernal/Doomguard in a major city it'd be dead in 5 seconds. You had to take that shit to Goldshire to be effective.

I once kited Kazzak to Stormwind before it became a bannable offense. That shut the server down for a night.

But in all seriousness, i never found drain mana useful anywhere in, except pvp as anti-healer or in some lower level dungeons where some bosses used mana cost abilities, like SFK and SK.

Fuuck that was such a good glyph.

I remember when arena was first added. I was affliction because I was a casual that didn't raid. The moment I became free, they knew they were going to die.

Felt good, man. Then they bundled SL into corruption and made immolate mutually exclusive. That's when I quit playing.

you mean like blood DPS and frost/unholy tanking for death knights?

They completely ruined death knights.

Frost tanking was stupidly fun in dungeons or for add management in raids, stuns and snares for eternity

I've run exactly one random heroic with my disc priest since 7.2.5 came out.

>>386133592
The fact that they looked at all three dk specs and chose blood is something I'll never understand. It's the only reactive tank in the game and they have repeatedly failed to balance it for four expansions now

Soulshards. It was fun to farm them over and over again and lost after 15 min logout

I played the Beta.

So no, you're not.

>>386129563
immense power hidden behind unoptimized skill mechanics. you have useless talents like improved firestone while dark pact effectively breaks the game. it fits perfectly with the class theme of bargaining with demons for untold power.

people think of vanilla warlocks as 1-button spammers and they're right to a degree. but i have never had as much fun pressing a single button over and over again as when that button was shadow bolt.

>>386133819
Blood DK in Cataclysm was great, tanking was never more fun.
