How do Warlocks make an escape?

This is kind of a cheap knock off of another forum but really I have a lvl 19 warlock and am wondering how the hell am I supposed to make a break for it when the shit hits the fan? I mean sure they say a lock is "god!" but when the rubber hits the road I dont see a good way out of a bad situation. Can anybody help me here.

    fear and run away...sacrifice if you have your VW out, pop your health stone if need be...its not brain surgery.

    ok...the poster is right...but fear can get you into faster trouble than its worth sometimes.  Locks dont have the greatest escape machanism..esp those that keeps mobs in place (except banish in which case only works on demons).  But at your level you're stuck with fear and saccing the VW.  Dont worry...as you level up you'll get  banish and deathcoil.

    Use a Soulstone. Die. Res yourself when they leave.



    AE Fear... then run.

    true, but if you are just running away does it really matter what fear aggro's?

    Warlocks are relatively weak at level 19. You are missing some of your key skills, and at 10-19 I'd suggest a mage is a far more dangerous caster, since the mage has more escapes (but fewer hit points). As other people have mentioned, your best option for defense is to sacrifice your VW for a shield and then fear and kite with DOTs. You should also always remember that you are a soft target, and try to make use of the terrain to limit your visibility. This can be very useful because many of your spells are indirect. I have stood on the roof of a WSG base before and put down a dozen DOTs on the enemy defence before they realised where I was :-). It's also often a good idea to keep a warrior or paladin in front of you to soak up hits.



    At level 20 you get the succubus minion. She can seduce an opponent, removing one player (e.g. that annoying twink rogue) from the fight entirely.



    At level 40 you pick up death coil. This is an instant use fear effect, which can easily buy you time to cast a proper fear spell. This is the key defensive spell for warlocks, and will make you unbeatable for many opponents.



    Btw - Warlock is not a pvp god class. Any class can be extremely dangerous with the correct build and when in the hands of a skilled player with good gear.

    If you run, you will only die tired. 

    Use a SS and wait for the mobs to leave, use your Howl of Terror, Fear, Banish. If you happen to be a Gnome, there is escape artist as well.

    I usually don't sac my minion - just leave him there to keep the aggro and let him die as you run away - easy enough to summon another one
