Is exploiting the fact that the warrior takes more damage during the buff a good idea or is it bad in general to feed
him with rage while under dw?
- How do you keep track warrior buffs and especially cooldowns on dw and berserker rage? NECB is just TOO spammy for
me, there is no way I can see what's the bar of the buff/cd while cc-ing the other, moving out of los of stuff, doting
around, draining, refreshing CoTs and such. In other words, how do you effectively fear the warrior, do you have any
tricks?
- Is there any particular moment where it is useful or more appropriate to use death coil? I often find myself unsure
on whether use it, essentially because dc will often put him in intercept range, so I am trading a 3secs horror, 2mincd
for a 3secs stun, 15s cd.
Any suggestion is highly appreciated. |
As an SL/SL lock if you're going to fight a Warrior, Rage starve him and go for his partner. Whip out your Voidwalker for a 20% dmg reduction and slap a Curse of Weakness on him. Don't get Improved CoW, it's trash and not worth talenting for a ridiculously low return. Once he starts attacking, he'll definitely notice that his Rage returns from dealing damage are not what he was hoping for. If he starts blowing CDs to try to amp up his Rage meter so he can burst to keep himself effective, Sacrifice the Voidwalker and insta-summon another when your shield goes down. Don't DoT the Warrior, it'll just feed him Rage to kill you.
Of course, this whole time DoT / Fear / Drain his partner to keep pressure up. Use your Deathcoil when: you're down 2k life, you're not affected by Mortal Strike, and you need an interrupt. Usually you can't meet all these requirements at the same time, but you can pick which ones are most important. Don't worry about Intercept, etc. from the Warrior when you're using Deathcoil, it's not like you're going to keep him from using it anyway. He can Hamstring you and then get all the Range he needs. It's important for you so that you can keep that option there to keep gimping his Rage and keeping him from his effectiveness. Finish his partner then 2v1 him.
I don't recommend that you ever waste cast times on Fearing a Warrior unless you're stalling, there's just too many things they can do to break out of it. Diminishing Returns means that by the time he blows all of his CDs you're getting a 2s Fear for a 2s cast time. Drain Life and Rage starve him.
