this guy is a noob, wow. after the first 2 paragraphs i wanted to stop reading but it was so funny i read the entire thing. my first character was a warlock. i ASKED ppl what was the best lvling spec. which was basicly Demonology or Affliction untill 50/52. IF you have the BRAIN CELLS to not pull aggro off your pet you become the best grinding spec. so i have no idea how you died that many times.
i wanna see this peice of crap deleted off the site, lol.
It's actually a bit sad that an article like this one gets to waste space here.
Dear writer, do NOT talk about "the uneducated" when you are so clueless yourself. I'm not gonna comment on the details in this article, the other posters did a fine job on that, but please, next time you write an article, choose a topic you actually know something about.
Thanks for feedback. As far as experiance I have 7 60s on PVP and PVE servers.
That's your answer to justify all the mistakes you made? "I'm experienced because I've found enough time to level seven characters"?
1: Leveling seven characters, now THAT's going about the game on easy mode. Trying to actually understand how to best play them is where the game can get a lot harder. There's a lot of room for improvement in how to play WoW if you allow yourself to see your own errors.
2: Are you simply ignoring so many other valid points posted by everybody in here because you do not know the answer to them? Is the word "experience" (which is how it's spelled) the only thing for which you could think of something to say?
3: Posting an article can go two ways. It can make you a very valued member of the community and somebody people look up to for advice, or, as in your case, it can show you haven't the slightest clue what you're talking about. I expect you would gladly take all the compliments and attention had your article be received positively. Be a man and learn to also take the criticism appropriately instead of openly ignoring it.
4: For crying out loud, have the guts to edit the article, stating at the top it's widely thought completely inaccurate (which shouldn't be hard to deduce from above posts). People come here and expect to read truth or at least viable speculations. If a newbie comes along and reads this, he will get a completely wrong idea on how the class is played. Being responsible for a new player's mistakes only makes matters worse than they already are.
Right on. Loved the response Haggis. Obviously the author was being "PC" ('I appreciate your comments and your honesty") as opposed to actually taking personal responsibility for his errors and saying: "damn guys, I screwed up, here, let me correct myself". The only classes I play on WoW are my warlocks, a mage, my huntard, and a priest, which I totally suck at; I am a spell killing machine by nature (in WoW anyway). So there, I admit it, I can't write an article on a Paladin, Priest, or even a Mage. Warlock? Yes, because I know the class. Every other class I know nothing about. Also, I could never write an article about blacksmithing or leatherworking because *gasp* I know nothing about it. Alchemy? Bring it. Because I love potions. Engineering? Eh, not really, because only thing I use it for is making bombs (my hunter likes blowing things up!)...anyway...the point is, I will admit what I can and can't talk about and will NOT fake the funk.
It's articles like this that make me want to come out of retirement and emberrass this trash article. I don't just hold the author responsible for the article though. MMORPG.com should know who they are hiring before they choose anyone that can type for a correspondent. And if the person can't peform, find someone else.
Mr. Author-be grown enough to recognize the error, and do us all a favor and send in a follow up with the corrections? I would welcome the opportunity to read it and to give you a second chance as someone worth reading.
Hasta.

Totally true!!! I have several 70's as stated earlier and before I make any statements or even try to play a class I READ thier forums and learn from others in my guild that ACTUALLY play the class before I start it. I learn from others and on my own. This post gets a 10/10. As far as tradeskills go I have a 375 LW/skinner/Cook, 375 Tailor/Jewelcrafter/Cook, 375 Miner/368 Axesmith, 375 Herbalist/363 Alchemist. The rest I have not capped so I will NEVER comment on them because they are not maxed. Fishing is so mind numbing I havent even gotten my 70 Huntard past 231.
So.. I have a question.. Can I have this guy's job? Because anyone who plays WoW, and has ever made it to atleast Kara or Za as a lock will laugh at the noobtasticness of this "Article".. Looking at the spells and list of abilities for a warlock does not deem you worth of writing a featured article.. I play a lock.. very well.. and I have to say, end game locks are the master of 1 thing and 1 thing only... DPS.. well unless your a demo..then I dont know what to tell you... ill mail u some gold so u can go afflic.. or atleast destro.. lol..
Thanks for making my day.. Im thinkin this post was like an inside joke, that only people who play a lock would get..... I hope..

I got quite a shock at reading this article. I have never played a warlock passed level 20 but there is no reason, EVER, to take aggro off the tank, unless you are a tank yourself. so the only way you would take aggro is using a voidwalker's taunt, which you aren't going to do because in most parties you will be using your imp or your felhunter for their buffs. also I have never seen a decent tank being outaggroed by any warlock alive, it just doesn't happen. slow to level? if that's true why do people use an affliction warlock to break leveling records? (alongside BM hunters). you have not seen real hard leveling untill you have leveled a resto druid or a holy priest from 1-80. please, if you are new to the game, don't think you can magically prevent wipes on a lock because taking aggro from the tank will give the healer more pressure, and its better to wipe in some cases anyway.
P.S. the proper spelling is "rogue" not "rouge". I'm amazed that got through the editor's net
