I loved warlock in vanilla, in the time between the warlock talent update + deathcoil/spell changes and BC/2.0 patch warlocks were op.

Curse of Exhaustion was very underrated. Made rogues so very easy to kill.

Situationally, yes.

I was destruction though, Seduce+Nuke was very effective as a AQ40/Naxx geared warlock. The thing I miss most about those days were the 1-shot-kill Soulfire crits, mmmm delicious.

<shrug> Never saw the whole warlock nuke thing . . . though i was surprised how much hate i often got as a hunter. Was truly shocked at how many players took that class and just sucked at it . . . or just outright pissed the other players off due to their stupidity. And, lets not forget the whole "Beast spec Hunter" during BC . . . that was abused to no end and i was grateful for being a Survival Hunter (crit spec) at the time. At least until resilience came into play . . . damn you Blizz.

Don't get me started on Hunters. One of them ninja'd an awesome melee trinket right from under my Retadin's nose and if I were to calculate all the repairbills that can be directly attributed to a Hunter's actions (or lack thereof) I'd have come up with a number that would enable me to buy epic flying mounts for my 4 characters when BC was released.

In every MMO I have ever played, I have never not been promoted to officer and/or raid leader in any of them. I have left almost all of those guild in the many games I have played because the leaders head got to big. This seems to be the cool thing to do, don't really know why.

My wife and I have given up on MMOs until we have more spare time to play them. We came to the conclusion after years of being annoyed that there is two primary types of guilds/clans/etc. Good/great players that treat everyone poorly and bad/terrible players that are nice to everyone. This made us decide that if/when we ever play online games again we will just make our own guild and try to mix the two.

I actually tried to be a guild leader once . . . you still have to be careful because you'll eventually have someone who's an elitist at heart and will start harassing you or the guild about doing raids. I was a GL for all of 6 months before this happened, but there is a HUGE responsibility being a guild leader, but it boils down to, what you have planned for your guild (because no one wants to be bored) and how you intend to go about it.

good ol guild drama, luckily for me im in a huge pvp server were puging is ez and do every thing in pugs now. although i use to raid hard core in bc... my advice to you say f**k it, no point getting upset because some ego tooting loser who feels like he needs to strut his pretend power. last guild i was in had a gm like, our raid leader had some rl s**t happen to him, got s**t face drunk and said he cant raid today, guild leader kicked him and the guild was dead with in a month.

for the record, main job of a raid leader is to deal with in raid drama, and to deal in hope and give moral a boast. raid strategy is only a small job, considering most of it comes from other sources, a good raid leader will listen to ideas of his raid and apply the good ones, and try out questionable ones if there face planting into a boss.

i use to raid lead in bc, all it is being a strong leader, giving out positive messages, and dealing with people who wont do there job.
