Warlocks spreadin' their seed...



Hot, ain't it?




Seven warlocks in a Mount Hyjal raid proved to be hilariously entertaining, as waves of mobs dropped faster than I've ever seen it happen. With each warlock doing just under 4 million damage, that was quite a lot of pew pew power that we had going.



One point of contention, though, centers around seven warlocks but usually only 2 of them worrying about the need for curses.



It should go without saying that not a single one of the warlocks, no matter the quality of their gear (or lack thereof) can go full out dps without pulling aggro. So we're stuck. We're stuck sitting there doing nothing for a good 10-15 seconds from the start of the wave. The class lead I've noticed always puts a CoE on the various mobs until enough threat has been built that we can start seeding. I've picked up on that and taken care of a CoW, less melee power on these mobs definitely can't hurt the tanks as they hold on to them... less damage, less strain on the healers, less strain on the dps as they get more heals... everybody wins. But then when a curse of tongues has to be thrown in, it's once again myself or the class lead running up to do it.



What exactly are the other 5 warlocks doing in that time? Dancing in the back? Looking for epic drops beneath the trees?
