Alliance solo WPVP, waste of time and nerves?

[NikeTheSword]

I read the other threads about race choices but it seems that Alliance's only saving grace is group pvp which I'm not into. I'm drawn to warlocks and only want to play on alliance side but would it be unplayable to roll alliance warlock for solo pvp? Has anyone had success with re-fearing after wotf and wanding the tremors?

Worth it? Thanks.

As you can't rely on any of the available crowd control effects the class offers when you're playing alliance you just need good enough gear to deal enough damage to make it satisfyingly viable.

I was SM speced the last 2 days and ganked in searing gorge with 588 spelldmg. My dots alone killed people and wiped a ton of worldbuffs.

It is definitely harder for you as alliance but rolling alliance lock gives you either escape artist or that human invis detection which both help a lot against certain classes.

Its not unplayable but it sucks. 1v1 and killing undergeared people is easy but there will be many moments where you go "if not for wotf i would have killed them"

How do you imagine doing 1v2, 1v3 when 90% of horde is undead.

If solo wpvp is your thing, definitely go horde.

It is definitely harder as alliance but it's quite easy to bait wotf if you play with a succubus 90% will wotf the seduce and from there on its smooth sailing usually. Playing w/o felhunter vs certain classes is very scary but for me personally succubus and gear will make it a tad less stressful vs the scourge

you should not be spamming fear / seduce as alliance warlock.

the reason for rolling human warlock instead of horde warlock is because it's the best race for the spec sm / ruin, you can stack free action potions with the racial perception, while still being extremely tanky with 6k + hp.

using alliance warlock for any other spec than sm / ruin for pvp is just silly, and you are better off re-rolling if you want to spam fear or seduce.

he's a fking mongolian don't bother, thinks perception is better than escape artist and that wotf + udpassive shadow resist or 25% stun resist.

a true downer

No. Solo world pvp as alliance is the single most suicidal way to do warlock PvP. You are basically playing a shitty mage who can't CC or run. And you will definitely get ganked by undead rogues. If you must do it, do "solo" PvP and group with rogues so you can play bait.

...You do realize that fear and seduce are on the same diminishing returns timer ever since patch 1.4? Succubus is an excellent 1v1 PvP pet if you are on the Horde (very few classes can trinket out of seduce), but if you are Alliance that barely helps. I'd rather have a felhunter.

Yeah I hate when you duel rogues and forget your felhunter, also what do you mean since 1.4 ofc I know it's 1.12.

2v1 against 2 undeaders or an undead and a warrior is pretty much impossible unless you take advantage of engineering and items such as tidal charm and magic dust.

I mostly gank anyway. 1v1s are not impossible but can be challenging. Shamans, rogues, and warriors are extremely hard to beat if they get the opener. Add shadow reflector to the equation and you have almost an impossible situation.
