what is Warlock supposed to do against rogue?

[obscura818]

Its literally impossible. They just stun you from 100-0.

Cheap shot, gouge, kidney, dead. Freakin warlock trinket doesnt even remove stuns

Wish i never rolled lock because any time you pvp you'll just be targetted by every rogue on the enemy team and youll die without even a chance to fight back.

[Banther]

Not sure, but can't you have your succubus seduce him while your stun locked?

[Colezz]

Try a living action potion

[JohnnyBlaze]

First of all, have a succubus out.
If you don't like the succubus for whatever reason or you have another pet, try to spam Death Coil inbetween his cheap shot and kidney shot then dot into fear and shadowbolt to finish him.

Seduce or sac your voidwalker for a shield to survive the opener. Level so you have death coil. Death coil then fear then run while trying to dot, then die when he catches you with sprint, I dunno or something similar.

spec right, have the right pet out, level engineering, get good

[Ana]

Get stamina gear.
Seriously, I'm usually at half health or more after rogue's opening stuns and I play a priest.

The real question is what is a rogue supposed to do against a warlock.

1. Use this spec: http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#IVzbZbxAzRxotZxx0k
2. Level engineering and make: Iron Granades, Gnomish Net-o-Matic Projector,Gnomish Shrink Ray.
3. Have gear with decent amount of stamina and shadow dmg.
4. Summon Voidwalker.
5. When rogue opens on you, he wont be able to kill you in stunlock due to 40% physical absorb from Soul Link and Master Demonolgost. After his opener, use iron granade and fear him during granade stun. After he trinkets/wotf, use deathcoil. He will be feared again for short duration, cast shadowburng>corruption>agony and recast fear. Cast shadow bolt, immolate and if he breaks fear, recast fear again. Use net if he manages to get close or shrink ray when he vanishes and gets into melee.
6. You always have healthstone and void sac to boost your defences while rogue has nothing to help against dots and will slowly die.

Your biggest damage mitigation vs rogues is going to be stamina and armor, armor proficiency is raw percentage and damage received is rounded making it the strongest mitigation factor vs physical damages in the game, for example defilers set or highlanders have higher armor proficiency than most leather pieces, gloves of immortal, necro-knight garbs, arathi weapons, etc.

There are several high armor value pieces of cloth that will give you major changes in gameplay, inarguably though, almost all pvp gear has a higher armor proficiency than just about any epic quality pve gear available, r12/13 gear buff makes it some of the highest armor proficiency available.

All these people suggesting stamina are right, stamina is valuable but don't ditch mitigation for stamina, 70 armor to cloak as well + resistance to cloak is entirely linear with almost everyone having a bit of spell pen and locks don't particulary need help vs any casters, that's a free around 1% damage reduction. Combine this with quick reactions and use of a few tricks and you can overcome what is considered a largely stacked fight but still, exceptionally good rogues are going to beat you on a typical day unless you get the jump or you're sl.
