Nothing better than seeing a mob loaded up with DoT effects decide he's going to try to run away, you can just watch him run, thinking, "he's already dead."

but of all the warlock tricks i like your ability to summon a buddy to your locale...i just wish blizzard would create some kind of funny animation for the trip, or make the toon puke when he got to the other side!

I created a warlock awhile ago, and I find it's the same as playing a priest - it's great to have one in your party, as long as you're not it (summoning, soulstones, etc)
Having said that, I know that Majin has a great time with the AOE:
"Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!" ... he says while calling down Rain of Fire...

;D ;D "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!" ... he says while calling down Rain of Fire... LOL, that's great. I've always wished on my main (60 Mage, Human) that I could /dance while casting Blizzard. It'd be hillarious to disco while it's blizzarding ;D I've a warlock, and while I enjoy the class I find it's one that I don't play often. Not too sure why. Perhaps it's too similar to my mage, or maybe I just don't like having a pet...

I just respecced tonight with the purpose of being able to do a bit more burst damage. I'm still mostly affliction specced though.
I dropped Curse of Exhaustion entirely, I never use it, as well as Improved Drain Soul, Improved Voidwalker, and Grim Reach. Improved Drain Soul was just not enough to make a difference. Imp. VW was nice while I was soloing or partied with Stomp, but otherwise that +30% threat generated just doesn't help that much. Grim Reach was nice, but not imperative. In exchange I now have Improved Shadowbolt, Bane, Shadowburn, and I have maxed out Suppression. The first two were just to meet the prerequisites for the third. Instant cast shadow damage for the win! Suppression is just nice to have, -2% chance for enemies to resist my affliction spells per rank, now at 5 ranks instead of 2.

The first two tiers of Descrutction SUCK IMO. But I cannot imagine a life without shadowburn. That and instant corruption and chance to avoid interuption of drain life. Those rock too!
Yeah, I ended up dropping CoEx a long time ago. It just didnt work well enough to justify the points.

The one think that Warlocks have over mages: orcs can be warlocks and not mages. See an orc run around is a very fun thing to see, not funny as such, but fun. If I knew more about all of the warlock abilites, I might have made Ipit an orcish warlock, but I choose mage and will stick by this decisiion.

I didn't really want to make a new topic for this, but I was wondering if any other warlocks out there had this particular build, or had any thoughts on this type of talent distribution.
Destruction:
Cataclysm 5/5 Bane 5/5 Devastation 5/5 Shadowburn 1/1 Intensity 2/2 Destructive Reach 2/2 Pyroclasm 2/2 Improved Immolate 5/5 Ruin 1/1 Emberstorm 5/5 Conflagrate 1/1
Affliction:
Imporved Corruption 5/5 Improved Drain Life 5/5 Fel Concentration 5/5 Improved Drain Mana
I was looking into warlocks after I realized I'm going to have to repsec my mage, seeing as arcane missiles (my bread and butter with my currenet build) has a horrible tendancy of just not working, and costing me a lot of mana in the process too.
