I dusted off my level 20 baby Warlock, bought her some shiny new heirloom pants and promptly got distracted by the Noblegarden event.
I picked up the quests (hey! it’s experience!) and found a good egg camping spot in Elwynn Forest.
I got the mount last year – thank goodness – because with CRZ finding eggs is almost impossible. But I had to buy her the Black and Pink bunny ears so I needed about 100 chocolates.
Eggs were always camped the first few days before CRZ, but now it’s accompanied by nasty whispers telling me to get out of their “camping spot” in more colorful terms.
Even worse was all the ERP going on that would make anyone from Moonguard blush.
So thanks to CRZ we have no place to hide anymore – great job Blizzard.
Got my chocolates, bought my bunny ears and couldn’t get out of there fast enough.
I had left my baby Warlock in Demonology spec so I thought I’d carry on with it and see how it goes. Went to Duskwood to do some leveling and figure out my spells with the idea that once I had a handle on that I’d queue for some dungeons.
Well, I got to level 25 and I’m still not sure what to do with my 3 or 4 spells.
I’ve got Corruption, Shadow Bolt, Hand of Gul’dan, Soul Fire and a bunch of other spells including one that turns me into a giant purple demon.
I get Corruption – that’s a DoT, and Shadow Bolt is a “filler” spell with a looong cast time but not nearly as long as Soul Fire (Molten Core makes this faster but where the heck is Molten Core?) I can run to the store for ice cream and get back before Soul Fire finishes casting.
So after playing around with different combinations, I found my most “efficient” spells were just tossing out a Corruption and then spamming Hand of Gul’dan because roasting mobs in purple meteors makes me giggle.
Sometimes I’d use Demonic Leap just for fun. I could use Metamorphosis but stuff is usually dead after a couple of purple meteors so I’ll save that for dungeons.
I lost my demon a couple of times because I didn’t notice Health Funnel – once I got that, I could kill stuff just by applying Corruption, healing my demon and then use Drain Life to heal me – that also made me giggle.
Bottom line: I’m randomly mashing buttons because at this level nothing even lights up yet, but stuff is dying and eventually I’ll figure it out. Warlock abilities make me giggle.

Giggle is OK; it is when you move up to cackling that you have truly arrived as a warlock.

This is exactly how I play my warlock. She’s level 27 and only ever gets played intermittently so when I do play her I have no idea what to do 🙂

What I read on a “rotation” for locks in dungeons (because bosses are the only place you can really get in a rotation is this: Get into Meta as quick as you can and spam the hell out of Chaos Bolt. yeah..outside of bosses, you are just mashing a button here and there. Hell I actually try to see if I can kill my blueberry while leveling. OH 12 mobs are too many..noted. Of course my little lock is decked out in full heirloom minus rings. I need some hit, so I guess I should swap out the PvE staff for the PvP…plus the PvP one looks more evil, no?
Also, Pink haired girl gnome warlock with a bunny pet is the bestest lock.

Silly hunter, Demo locks don’t have Chaos Bolt. :-p
They probably mean spam Soul Fire.

Whatever takes the place of shadow bolt when you switch to Meta, that’s what you spam, instant cast and hits like a truck, carrying a truck, with a truck pulled behind, and a couple tauren driving..you know lock OP stuff.
Don’t hate me, I’ve been out of WOW for a bit, my wrist injury hasn’t fully healed and I figure work is more important than wow….

Ahh, well I don’t know that spell’s name. I just know Chaos Bolt is the big green flame dragon that crits like a mofo for Destro
Stupid work! Getting in the way of valuable game playing time!
Seriously though, take care of that wrist!

Yeah, it sucks, some days it doesn’t hurt much at all, some days I want to chop my arm off. From what I’ve read recovery time can be up to a year and since it’s my right wrist and I am waayyyy right handed, it never gets a lot of rest. so…
