Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of your own character is the most basic secret of success in WoW PvP combat. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that's all you need to know, or even close to it. In plain English, your character's strength is the way they can cast spells that do damage over time on an opponent, then Fear the victim so they run around out of control as they die.You're also going to need more mana against these, so a spell like Life Tap will be crucial to keep your from running out. If you run out of mana, you're dead.That covers the basic PvP Strengths and Weaknesses of your Warlock. But there's much more to learn if you really want to rule PvP.

Fortunately for your opponents, your Warlock does also have weaknesses in Player versus Player combat. Some classes (Mages, for example) can break your Fear spells and counter your DoT spells. Against these pests, you'll need to have some direct damage types of spells. A top-notch PvP guide can give you far more information, including specific instructions for dealing with foes that can counter your primary attacks.But if you don't really understand your own character's basic Player versus Player strengths and weaknesses, nothing else will matter much. So let's look at the PvP strengths and weaknesses of a Warlock.I can tell you from personal experience that Warlocks can be a nightmare to go against in PvP. Your character's greatest strengths are your DoT (Damage over Time) spells, and your ability to kite your enemies.
