Well, your playstyle is certainly one way to play. As I'm sure you know, the warlock has many more ways to play it than most other classes, and the secondary class exasperates this. Basically, play whatever works for you. However, keep in mind you might have to use other combos once you are running instances and doing pvp.

As for a third class, simply decide if you want to play warlock or rogue more, and then pick your secondary accordingly to the class, its playstyle, and your personal preferences.

As for your third question,no, the third class does not effect the primary and secondary classes in any way, it is just there to provide more variety and versatility.

The way I play is I use Poison Fang for it's DoT and the weakening effect then I spam SS untill dead. The way you've been playing is certainly a way to play Warlock/Rogue but going along with Larry there are multiple ways to play the Warlock class.

At some point though they are going to look at the damage of shadow stab and tell us "we have to nerf it". I mean seriously im only level 50 using a level 37 t6 staff hitting mobs for 3900 damage with 18 seconds of bleed for 285 per tick. The true test will be that first player to get to 72 and take it into siege. It does 1500 damage at level 50, its gonna scale to what 2500 at level 72.

Not to mention I honestly think an opponents mdef is slightly bypassed because it's dark damage. So yes hit them with fang, or warp and watch them drop.

To be fair, W/M's and Wd/D's white hit proc elites hit quite a bit harder than 3900 at the same level/equipment. Though they aren't ranged, which is a big difference.

I agree when the nerf bat drops on Wl/R it will hit hard, but for rigt now lets stay in the background and come rip-roaring out in sw when we can, and show the power of our shadowstab. (sorry i'm writing this on half a brain and 2 hours sleep)

Has anyone noticed that SS doesn't have LoS issues? Unless I've got a big rock in front of me I can cast SS no matter what. I've tested it out where I cast warp from behind a small hill and I get the error message " Can't see target" or whatever, but when I cast SS it still works.

Yes to op. knew it since I got the skill. It's just that I kept quiet about it :p.
anyway, I am now lvl 51 and using a tier 6 lvl 40 staff, I am doing like 7k damage on the te lvl 50 mobs.
Yeah, wl/rogue will kick serious ass in siege war. I already starting to collect lvl 55 gears from hos,DL,ZS .a bit of tweaking, should last me till lvl 72.
Wl/r is also a class that can seriously turn te tide of fights in siege wars, I testing out all the support skills t the moment. Pretty impressive skills .

Hitting a mob with your poison fang increases your SS damage by 20%, so they need to be cast at the same time or if you are a macro person which I am not, I strongly suggest binding them together.

As for gear build, it really is simple Int/Ma Int/sta and that's it. Crit, MA gear. This is also ideal if you want to switch it up for PVE and be a monster wl/m where you basically at end game get base +26% Int, not to mention and elite that stacks an extra 30% int. Needless to say either combo you are a monster.

No doubt abt it, the poison fang drops all resistance and if you group up with a iceblader, deadly duo. Haha

A Wl/R, M/Wd, and a P/S would be a deadly group. With a P/K to back then up.

Currently my SS is at 50, on a 55/50 wl/r. I'm using a t7 +13 void staff adn the elemental flame set and my SS hits for about 16k with a 1,200 bleed. Each of my other DoT's are currently ticking for about 1,300 as well. Puzzlement (if they are weakened for the boosted damage) is hitting for 35k and critting at 70k. Not shabby for a level 55.

That is freaking amazing.. Well I am gathering "unused" crimson Mage stats from my buddies in the guild. I just dirty stated my gears and wait till my small guy"grows up" and start some serious stating and gearing.
But looking at the game's market, I just settle for codex weapon and crimson gears . Still pretty good.

Yes I plan on using both my Warrior and Warlock characters to get stats to help my Warlock. I already have him a Orange +7 t7 Root of Nightmares for when he gets to 60. I'm going to twink his lvl 55 gear instead of clean stating it. And I'm going probly going to clean stat my lvl 60 gear and use that for endgame or maybe I'll just use shell gears.

yeah, there will be a lot of whiners when that happens (hope i won't be one of them) because of the amount of money being spent on the toon.

i wish the devs had as much sense as they do intelligence to know that skilled players will always take skills to a level they never intended it to be.

they should confer with skilled players and do testing with properly geared toons at max level for each class before making a major patch like this go live. there would be less rage quitters if it went that way.
