raiders have no life

"There are two different things here, I feel. One is addiction : an inability to stop playing.Many warlocks have leveled as affliction locks due to the excellent sustainability of the build. That's a problem. The other is spending too much time playing - which is also a problem, but IMHO a seperate (though related) one. My one real complaint about the game itself these days is simply the time investment required to raid successfully.We are used to making snap decisions about DoTs on the fly and we enjoy the versatility warlocks have with respect to killing stuff: fear-kiting, drain-tanking and so on. This is NOT a ""raiders have no life"" post - I know that many people successfully combine (fairly) hardcore raiding with a busy work and social life - but for some people it's simply not a viable combination. The irritation is with the fact that this would, so far as I can see, be easy to fix (in logical if not necessarily programmatic terms): all you need to do is to make raid reset timers configurable.Hence it is understandable if some affliction players complain that the destro playstyle is "boring" or a "no-brainer" - since the active interaction with what's happening on screen is cut down significantly. If you only have time to play one or two nights a week, then join a guild of like-minded people and set the reset timer to allow you two weeks between resets. I used to raid.It is however interesting to note that on the WWS Scoreboard, a neat ranking chart based on raid data pulled from WoW Web Stats, just 10 of 15 top Warlock DPSers are 0/21/40. It was not by any means hardcore, but I used to spend 2-3 nights a week just raiding, and then some other nights doing other things.Out of the five who aren't destro locks, two are demonology, one is affliction and two have hybrid demo/destro builds - building for Soul Link probably.

wow powerleveling I quit the game (or went on a long break - not certain which as yet) because I didn't have time for this. At the point I'm at now, my DoTs are overkill for even-con mobs so I still waste mana unless fighting elites, but DoTs are cheap, and I can get mana back easily. It's a pity, because I enjoyed it, and I would be happy to enjoy it on a slower schedule.I may do slightly less damage than a Destlock, but it's not significant. I may return to the game in due course to enjoy the other aspects, but raiding is out. I agree with you there.What is significant is how flexible I am now. The term is beeing used very easily on a great variaty of things.Fear-kiting is powerful too, and much easier with good DoTs. I wasn't saying everyone that is saying that every gamer who plays an above average amount of time and claims not to be addicted is actually in denial. My guild had a tough time in Magister's Terrace, but I joined and fear-cc'd plus fear-kite and we waltzed through the place (fear only gets adds with inexperienced players). The only point was that addicts are often in denial ;) Its interesting to see that gamers often seem to feel misunderstood when it comes to the subject of addiction, claiming that you cannot be addicted to a game.The only complaint I have with the spec is that my DPS starts slowly, then builds to a frenzy. po wow Fact is that games aren't really all that different from gambling machines looking from the addiction perspective (note, I am not saying both are the same), especially games like wow that are made with addiction factor in the back of the mind.It would be nice if I had a spell that applied all my DoTs at once, because even though most are instant, there's still the global cooldown between each cast.

Ofcourse initial damage of a gambling addiction is generally much higher, but I am talking about the addiction itself, not its potential damage. I think the only question that is important in the end is how much of a problem it really is. Blizzard also seems to want most of us to become shadow bolt spammers in the end, as Warlock tier 6 gear favors shadow bolting locks. My personal opinion is that people that get addicted easily should steer clear of games like World of Warcraft."Why is Blizzard not making gear tailored to our favorite build. gold für wow Even if the term 'addiction' is out of place I do think most will have to agree that the game manages to hold on to its players a bit better then average." ." is the question asked by many affliction warlocks. I had planned on switching back sometime, for raiding and such, but just never did. To my surprise I found myself still usually out-damaging everyone in dungeons. eve isk Plus it's really valuable to be able to heal myself so well. So I kept the spec.
