His main point is, even if you&rsquo;re a dedicated raider, you should do battlegrounds from time to time, and for the most part I agree. The problem with 90% of PvPers is that they dont know how to PvE; they don&rsquo;t understand aggro, they&rsquo;re not geared toward PvE. Gear is of course not the best, since PvPers often lack enough hit rating or some other stats, however I do believe you will teach a PvP player how not to pull aggro quite easily - just let him die a couple of times. PvPing is a different game all together, hence it will force you to use other skills/spells, it&rsquo;ll teach you to LoS (line of sight) quicker and better and it&rsquo;ll teach you how to use some spells in new ways, or get you using them period. One of the things I learned from PvP is warlocks don&rsquo;t only have Curse of Shadows and Curse of Agony. For example, in Magister&rsquo;s Terrace, instance which is unfortunately going to be nerfed soon, I find Curse of Tongues extremely helpful vs. those caster mobs, and there&rsquo;s plenty of those. Most warlocks I meet in battlegrounds, and even arenas at <2000 rating, don&rsquo;t use CoT - it is without doubt the best curse warlocks have, even versus mages: sure, they can remove it, but it still takes one global cooldown from both you and the mage, but your DoTs can tick in that time, while he won&rsquo;t be damaging anyone. Against paladins, shaman and priests it&rsquo;s&hellip; maybe even a bit overpowered. PvP also greatly increases situational awareness. PvEers are horrible for getting tunnel vision, they stare at the boss, stare at their buttons, they&rsquo;re trying to execute their rotations&hellip; One of the reasons I find PvE boring is because it&rsquo;s so damn predictable - with all the addons available, you pretty much know what the boss is going to do each second of the fight. Sure, you can guess when that mage will Ice Block or when the paladin will bubble, but every fight in arena is completely different and a lot of things can go wrong and unexpected. A paladin buddy of mine is always wondering why he can&rsquo;t get past 1600 rating, and doesn&rsquo;t really listen to my advices: I often tell him to get rid of Healbot for PvP, it&rsquo;s an awesome addon for PvE healing but he barely even know what&rsquo;s going on around him most of the time - he just stares at those bars and nothing else. You need to learn how to bind your keys (upcoming post here) and watch what&rsquo;s going on around you. Megan wrote a couple of good posts about tunnel vision awhile back, I recommend reading both posts. Addons like Proximo or Afflicted can also help a lot, if you&rsquo;re trying to do arenas get them. On any given day, I&rsquo;d rather take a PvP player in a raid or instance than someone who cleared half of Sunwell, obviously not because of the gear, but because I know he won&rsquo;t panic if the tank dies, because he will know how to line of sight casting mobs (again, Magister&rsquo;s Terrace really shines there), he will react quickly with Ice Block or Vanish, or know how to chain fear, or even seduce and fear and banish (again, MgT) in the same time without whining; a PvP specced druid who will HoT up your tank and Feral Charge into mobs to break heals, or cast Cyclone or Hibernate when needed. The list goes on, there&rsquo;s a bunch of stuff you do in PvP which are taken for granted in arena environment, but learning it will without doubt make you a better player. And a question for you now: do you prefer doing instances with PvP geared players or PvE. Did a PvE player ever surprise you with something. " "There&rsquo;s no point posting opinions since most of the spells and numbers will be quite different, probably as soon as beta starts. You can check the preview of warlock talent trees here (note the Soul Link in tier 3 :O ).
