I really hope that you're just trolling, but reading some of these posts makes me feel you're just really ignorant and stubborn.
If it isn't good, how is it not bad?
There's no black and white "good and bad" in vanilla wow (or most of things in this world, really), there's a lot of grey area in between. A good example of an alliance warlock doing well in pvp would be dush's ED movie, in case you're unable to judge how the players on kronos are performing. I also don't think
"it's not as easy to get into as a horde warlock so it must be bad" is a good counterargument to what you quoted at all. I proved your claim about FW wrong and you respond with this?
What will you do in a 1v1 warlock vs warlock when your enemy has a succy out? Fel Dom out a Felhunter and try to counterspell the succy, or eat the charm with the dispell?
Let me make my Warlock UD and then go to the forums and argue that it's ez to defeat UD.
Don't get me started on broken pets which don't react to my commands, even me targeting a grounding totem and hitting "pet attack" doesn't do anything, the pets do not obey. Why bother? I'll rather play a more balanced game, like Overwatch.
I don't see why wouldn't you have a felhunter out going into a fight with another lock, but you could always skull the seduce in case you didn't want to use devour for some reason. One could as well sapper (which I don't recommend if you can't see the succ and time it as it's way too risky otherwise) or restorative pot beforehand if they wanted to be flashy with cooldowns.
Can't speak about overwatch since I've never tried it, but I've never had any trouble with pet totem macros (or simply attacks) here. Do you have footage of what you're doing when the pet attack bugs on totems and how long ago was it?
For the record, I play alliance here: dwarf priest. Sometimes do a few games on my friend's gnome lock.
Let's compare the skill that 10% of the player base has (generous) to 42% of the horde? Who is shit posting now?
Chances are you'll run into dwarf priests in prem v prem. And I think that there's so many variables causing losses in pug games that complaining over the amount of undead in the game seems rather irrational. At least most of my pug losses are caused by people afking / giving up / not caring about objectives rather than people playing one or other race, and I'm sure you would agree.
I never claimed standings have anything to do with skill. I just brought up statistical evidence that Fear Ward is nowhere as good as wotf, if it was then more people would play dwarf priests to gain access to fear ward.
I don't think very many of the people that come to play vanilla actually want to tryhard with racials considering the fact that you can do pretty well and be flashy on just about any race/class combination. There's no rated arena here. The main reason there are more undead than dwarves on any server is that most people enjoy looking at undead animations/model over chubby dwarf female butt. Some people also might prefer undead for more fun gameplay over dwarf as stoneform is really boring to play with. (no rogue ever attempting to blind you kind of kills an aspect of the game.)
If it's worth anything, I've seen a larger amount of good alliance priests than horde priests on this server.
You still didn't try to debunk any of the reasons I based my argument about FW being better than wotf. Do you have any experience at vanilla priest, out of curiosity? You seem very inexperienced in matters regarding races.
All I say is that undead warlocks are on average, more easy to do well in pvp than alliance warlocks. Reading comprehension. Better respond to what I actually write instead of your interpretation of what I write.
How can I take anyone serious who says "diminishing returns for cc in pvp doesn't matter."
So all I have to do is to play better than my opponent to be on equal footing. But it's okay, because alliance has paladins in 1v1 right? Next time please make up your mind, whether it's 1v1 or group pvp.
You said these very words:
"Keep dreaming up your phantasy of 'alliance warlock is not bad, git gud scrub'. If it isn't good, how is it not bad?", "'why bother' when I can just play UD instead and have a good time?", "Let me make my Warlock UD and then go to the forums and argue that it's ez to defeat UD." I think you're saying a bit more than just claiming them to be a bit easier to do well on - that's more akin to what I'm claiming although not quite on spot.
I claimed that the dr for ONE SPELL in ONE VERSION OF THE GAME on YOURSELF as ONE CLASS (priest) isn't very relevant as you generally have really many escapes/avoids from it and the opponent will have time to perform their burst even on halved fears. It's also just my personal opinion based on my experience in vanilla priest, I don't know why would you decide that it lets you somehow ignore every other valid argument in my posts.
I don't understand why do you think wotf would have a groundbreaking effect on warlock 1v1 as you have really many answers and escapes for it, especially with how devour works here and felhunters with 5pc t2 bonus being basically a waste to go for a banish on since they'll resist at least 4 in a row unless you pop eye of moam.
Puuuurrgeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
and undeads don't need some dwarf priest to lick their asshole all the time, they can make plays. The priest might have more useful things to do than run around giving fearward to people. There is opportunity cost to casting fear ward, there is none to wotf as you're unable to do anything but wotf out of the specified cc.
I already responded about the purge but you completely ignored it. But if you think it's worth it spending 10 globals and 2k mana dispelling a r1 renew among other things, be my guest.
You can "commit plays" and dodge/stop/escape fear on alliance side as well. You don't need a dwarf priest hugging you to beat warlocks.
Wotf also has an opportunity cost; when you wotf the first fear thrown on you by the enemy warlock to pass mid, you won't be able to wotf the second fear when he fears you again as you're about to dispel/heal/shield your fc who's trying to escape ebase with flag. On the contrary, you'll generally have FW up for both as it has a lower opportunity cost due to the shorter CD. Makes me wonder if you've ever played priest at all.
