Ah so many replies since i've been on last, yesterday. LOL. Well i tend to get off work past 8 on saturdays so its hard for me to do ony. I got keyed and wish i could. And if this hasnt already been cleared up, useful curses like curses of doom and agony both stack. Curses of elements and shadow vulnerability of course do not. I admit that six warlocks would probably be overdoing it. I do have one question though. Every class does not want to see their class bring less to raids. So it an understood that if we bring more of one class that we bring less priests? I will also raise at this time another controversial issue. If you have a lock that knows how to play his character, is wearing all his damage and +% crit to spell gear, and maybe even speced in destruction such as myself--then it will out dps most classes. I see experienced locks scoring near the top of damage meters in raids all the time. Personally, I am usually in the top 3 damage dealers of most raids I have been in under 15-man. I know that thornblade and rodarn have gear that is just as good as mine. Not many people play locks, and out of those, even less play them well, but when handled properly they become a formidable class, i'm sure.

Yea I agree that our lock situation is nowhere near the same as our pally/rogue situation. I don't mean to make it sound like my situation is any more difficult than anyone elses . When I chose to create a lock, it was a weighed decision from two factors: the potentially awesome power of their spells and soul shards; and the real-world fact that not many people play locks. Most people that want to be a caster go for mages. So I have always loved being a warlock because there is almost always room for me in pick-up raids, as well as highly organized guild raids. From all this I guess I have become spoiled. I do wish that established members had more seniority, but i enjoy all of you Prophets, especially the ones that wanted to console me here, so until the system changes i'll just try harder to get an open slot.

Yea i know what you mean, it is good to have a solid team on the bench too. I do think everyone should get their chance and I don't mind missing out on a few raids. Heck, I am not even available for all of the raids. I don't however regret that i did not immediately sign up, within two days. I understand that many of the other classes are even harder to get signed up. I like our new guildies. I even knew some of the previously. However, I would like to point out my full-time job and legal education that matter a little more than checking every thread, everyday.

I was by no means the first warlock in FP. I only joined when enlighten joined with FP. Players like Akira and thornblade have seniority over me, but in the past room was still available in the raids for me. I've noticed in our recruitment forum that as a guild we take a lot of care in selecting new guildies, so that we don't become overloaded with one class. Unforunately this does not apply to warlocks. We need more open slots for warlocks. Previously we had just enough warlocks that by time a raid began, we would have enough signed up. With recent additions to our guild, this class has become crowded. Now, one must find the thread immediately after stangmeister posts the signup, or the four slots for warlocks will be filled. I used to have no problem getting in on our raids, but i haven't been able to catch an open slot in weeks. I have even noticed normal warlock veterans that are always brought along such as rodarn of thornblade have been reconciled to the overflow list, while our new warlocks are always there. I understand everyone deserves their opportunity, but it seems I have lost mine. As I have been squeezed out.
