BEST SoD P2 Warlock PvP Spec - Soul Link+Haunt RAID BOSS

would you like to play a spec that completely turns on its head The bursty Phase 2 sod PVP meta game well I got something for you a classic soul link warlock Soul link warlock in Phase 2 sod is a lot more viable than you would think it is at first glance and no I'm not talking about Soul link metamorph I play Soul link haunt and I have yet to see anyone else playing this and I understand why not this is like a very bursty meta and I assume that most people just sort of ride off the possibil of playing soul in when we've only got 31 Tel points meaning there's no instant corruption no Shadow burn or Nightfall but the thing is we do gain haunt and instant cast drain life these do quite a lot of damage at least relative to normal classic soul link warlock damage they're relative to other classes in sod PVP but hey this is soul link warlock you don't have to outdamage the other player you just have to outlast them and drain life and horns also heal you for quite a bit for example here's a one-on-one with a rogue now you can see here that I ended this fight down about 800 or so Health the Rogue did 34,000 damage to me and the fight lasted about 30 seconds I healed myself for 23,000 so yeah that's pretty significant especially considering that this healing is coming from abilities that also do damage spec is pretty fun to play it's fun to play something that sort of outlasts people that relies a bit on pet micro and stuff like that rather than just like hitting two buttons and instag giving people as a lot of classes seem to be doing right now it's almost certainly the best one-on-one class um also probably the best one on two or one on Three class you do need to know what you're doing a bit especially with your pet you need to manually use devour magic and spell lock and you especially need to use devour well it's worth learning if you've never really thought about you know learning it properly before I've seen a lot of warlocks in my opinion quite justifiably complaining about how place in s so PVP in this phase cuz our burst is a lot harder to get off than other classes almost impossible if you have someone on you that's if you're playing deathro it's either that or you play Affliction which doesn't really do much damage and dies way too fast once people get on you or you can play metamorph which in my opinion isn't very fun cuz you're locked out of fear and you just kind of Jump Around spamming searing pain or dotting and drain lifing and it's very one-dimensional it removes a lot of the skill from the Warlock class and if I wanted to do something like that I would not be playing warlock you know so here is an option for those of you who want to play warlock more like a warlock you know you want to dot people and jump around and um slowly kill them sort of methodically kill them yeah you know what I mean if you're a warlock you know exactly what I mean if you ever played classic warlock especially classic soul link warlock um I haven't really played warlock in the lad expansions but I know that in for example TBC it was like this as well here's the specer that I use I think everything's pretty self-explanatory except maybe improv Health funnel the reason why I take improv Health funnel is because I want to heal my pet after it reses or after I summon it because it always comes out at half HP and if your pet's at half HP that's pretty bad cuz your health is tight your pet's Health are sink you don't want it dying earlier than otherwise would be so pretty much all the time in a BG unless there is a fight that I need to contribute to immediately I will res and I'll heal my pet you know when I'm out in the world I will heal my pet ASAP cuz your pet's health is your health and here are the runes that I use horn and instant cast drain life are pretty self-explanatory then you have gmar of synergy which we use because we don't really get crits very often to proc the the other one um and on boots just demonic knowledge to give us a bunch of extra spell power because I would like to use shadowflame but just kind of sucks I think if they do end up buffing shadowflame eventually it would be pretty good because you'd have another instant Dot and on legs depending on what I'm doing I have used demonic Grace or incinerate I think that incinerate is pretty much mandatory in any sort of group environment because when you're not being attacked it allows you to actually do some good damage well okay good is relative perhaps not as good as a mage but not horrible it's also quite good in a one-on-one fight against another Caster cuz it gives you another spell to cast aside from just spamming searing pain which is doesn't do that much damage and in Cate is a pretty scary spell so it is capable of baiting um counter spells and spell locks which will then leave your Shadow Tree open to fear your opponent if you can get a range that is it can be pretty difficult sometimes if all all you're doing though is sort of one-on oneing one on twoing people you probably want to use demonic Grace because against like say you're against like a rogue and a warrior one on two you really want that extra Dodge chance it could save you it could be the Difference Maker in a fight like that where you're just sort of alone against two people incinerate is going to do absolutely nothing but it is kind of situational just think about it yourself and use you know whichever seems the best to you for the situation that you're in but yeah that's really all there is to say about this I was thinking that Soul link wouldn't work that well given the lack of instant corruption and the lack of a lot of real damage really at least at least it seemed beforehand and then I tried it and I was really surprised and the thing is this is a gimped version of the spec incredibly gimped cuz next phase data mining shows that warlocks are getting unstable Affliction and we're obviously going to have improved corruption and improved LIF tap improved lives have very underrated Talent extremely good so the spec is already really good and we're just getting warmed up imagine next phase imagine a souling warlock you know like the best solo PVP class in vanilla probably aside from like incredibly amazing players on Rogue except with real real damage like actual like retail Affliction level damage from spells like unstable Affliction um this instant castra life haunt all we've improved corruption too I'm telling you next phase soul in wock is going to be incredible but yeah that's just my personal prediction I could be wrong but um I probably shouldn't tell any of you this cuz it seems like most people don't really even think to play Soul link and I don't want to fight against other Soul link Wars cuz it's so fun to just have the spec adventage all the time but you know something compelled me to make this video anyway I'm just going to let these clips that I have here play out some of the you know these aren't the best Clips in the world I show clips of me dying I show clips of one on twos one on 3es where I fail in the end like the second know the third person kills me there's even some clips who only kill like maybe one or two people before dying but the point of this isn't particularly to show you guys like a bunch of awesome highlights where I just totally own everyone it's to show you the potential of this spec it's to show you how tanky it is it's to show you how much it causes problems for my opponents in the clip that's playing right now for example against all of these paladins like they all use like nearly every cool down that they have against me in a really prolonged fight and you can tell they were sweating a bit situations like that where you really just feel like you're a raid boss for your opponents like they have to use so much just to take you out going down in the process and that's basically why I play warlock in the first place cuz I want to feel like a raid boss who just jumps around dotting people and slowly killing them you want to recapture the feeling and the power of the classic soul in warlock I feel like you can already do it right now and it's only going to get better next phase so yeah enjoy the rest of these clips that are left it's all I got to say I guess subscribe to this channel as well like the video whatever let me know down in the comments if you'd like to watch me streaming cuz I'll give it a go FP enough people um would like to watch and um maybe ask for a bit of advice or whatever regarding this spec so yeah see you and enjoy the [Music] clips it's still [Music] [Music] recharging the charg I need more Ste [Music] recharger [Music] recharge [Music] [Music] ready cast [Music] that C head
