Wrong section.. i know, but its the only active.

Planning to roll Lock as my next main, either on kronos or on a Legacy server

What are the hard counters for Warlock? I know its one of the best classes, but if you know any "hard" counter please let me know

Im thinking about going UD over Orc as other locks most be harder then some rogue, thoughts?

Undead anything counters lock, mostly undead locks haha. But Shadowpriest counter all casters so keep that in mind to. A warrior can destroy you if they went into deathwish as well Hunters mages That's all i got on the top of my head man, hope this helps.

Warriors/Rogues will stomp you the hardest, and they were the most overplayed classes on Nost, making life as a Warlock difficult. It's easier as Alliance, since they get Paladins, who strongly counter these classes. We do not get BoP, BoE, Cleanse, or bubbled healers. We don't get kings either. We get jackshit from Shamans, who basically can't do anything to help if you're being killed. The only real solution as Horde is to run BGs as Soul Link, which I did for a while, and it really helped my Warlock's BGs. But if you're already raiding, this means regular respecs, or having no damage in the raid.

If you're going Horde, Undead has the most useful racials. 3/4 of the Orc racials are totally worthless to a Classic Warlock, and the 75% of the time, the Stun Resist doesn't do anything either. You'd have passed up 10SR/Wotf, both of which are great, for axe skill(derp), and pet damage(derpderp). Cannibalize combines well with the class too, and is visually fun to do. Because of Life Tap, Cannibalize can literally be turned into a free mana potion.

You never sais that to me, I think I'm jealous!

I'd go with UD for skin / usefulness of WotF against many classes and thus being better overall imo, although the 25% stun resist is insane against Rogues / Warriors, which are among your hardest counters as a lock.

An arms warrior isnt a counter if you're prepared for it, you should have the advantage here. If the warrior isn't UD and doesn't have a shadow reflector it's a braindead win with a succubus as long as you can position it. Also max range CoE and DoTs is another way to win 100% of the time. Fury warriors have a bit of an advantage but it's hardly a counter lol, you still have the upper hand.

Try playing a warrior and getting stomped by every class and you'll realize how OP warlocks are 1v1.
