Scourge Warlocks need a lot of PvP love.

Title says it all and most players already understand how weak SW is in PvP. Not only that, but the only viable PvE build is the SB Damnation build, which is awful for PvP. So a SW must either be spec'd pure PvP or pure PvE.

List of things to fix:

Everything.

And of course, matchmaking. Who is in charge of this? Have they been fired yet? If so, has it been reassigned to anyone competent?

I love coming up against an SW, however there are a couple of solid SW's here that come to mind and one in my guild that does crazy damage.

lol

There are some good SW's in pvp and the more experienced ones will usually team up with a tank and use them as body blockers. Really good ones don't even need to do that.

Edit: Matchmaking actually does pretty much what it's told to do in that in tries to balance class types across teams. E.g. it'll count a DC and Pally as the same type, same usually with HR and TR. What it doesn't appear to do is account for item level. I know a few people who are sure it does and they remove their pvp armor whilst queueing in a hope of getting an easier match.

I've never found that to be the case as I often find myself in teams where at least 2 members have 0 tenacity and 1 other will have like 500. The opposition of course will generally consist of pvp guild members - lol.

I thought there was some crazy mechanic that allowed the SW to almost insta-kill people in PvP? I never knew exactly what it was, but a former guildie of mine brought it up.

It's a bug with Paladins using a reflect ability combined with Warlock's bargain. I think it also requires Dragon Glyphs, but I haven't been able to test it since every Paladin now avoids reflect in PvP against Warlocks. Basically requires very specific conditions against an ignorant Paladin. In which case, they deserve it since they're overpowered in PvP as is.

SW are typically the ones getting insta-killed.

Well, at least you have PvE though lol. With all the SW running the glitch or bug, whatever it is, where they kill themselves and then miraculously are able to kill anything a mere seconds. If they are bad in PvP, I guess it is counter-balanced by the over-powered glitch in PvE
