Ok honestly, if it weren’t the fact we could counter the FOTM classes with our CC (recently nerfed) and the fact that if we stack an absurd amount of resilience partnered with a healer class we aren’t “bad” in PvP.

However 80% of the time those requirements aren’t met, especially in world pvp. The warlock class has had so many flaws in its mechanics to make it viable on a solo condition in pvp. very few classes have as much trouble as a warlock do when they are all by themselves.

that being said it looks like a few NEW changes may bring back one of our old demons we rarely use.

Warlock (3.1 Skills List / 3.1 Talent + Glyph Calc.) Demonology Sacrifice now sacrifices a portion of the Voidwalker’s health to shield its master instead of killing the pet. Destruction Fire and Brimstone now Increases the damage done by your Incinerate and Chaos Bolt spells to targets afflicted by your Immolate by 3/6/9/12/15%, and the critical strike chance of your Conflagrate spell is increased by 5/10/15/20/25%. Glyph Glyph of Conflagrate – Your Conflagrate spell no longer consumes your Immolate or Shadowflame spell from the target.

Seriously,

the Voidwalker change has been something we’ve wanted for a long time. Since we can no longer rely on fear.. or rather any CC ability for that matter. Hurting the Void to give us a bubble that can munch almost 9k damage will probably allow us to get off a nice nuke for once in pvp without having to rely on nightfall/backdraft/decimation procs to do it (each of those in a different tree btw).
