You know you play a warlock when ... ... you are on a raid that is doing fantastic, and then suddenly wipes; you are blamed. ... your kills per death ratio is less than 70. ... you get told to stop pulling aggro and dying. ... you get told to parse higher. ... you get told you are doing too much damage and should be nerfed. ... your bruiser tank has left the group abruptly. ... your berserker claims he can outDPS you. ... your conjuror claims he can outDPS you. ... your assassin claims he can outDPS you. ... your coercer, monk, dirge, shadowknight all claim they can outDPS you. ... you are invited to a group and see in /gsay : "wizzie, necro, and brigand all declined" ... your guildmates joke in Vent that no matter what goes wrong - it's always your fault. ... you begin typing up long posts in the SOE forums in defense of your class ... and then just give up. ... you parse higher than the sk, dirge, monk, bruiser, coercer, conjuror, necro, zerker, swashie, ranger and the assassin - sometimes. and ... you have learned not to discuss your class with outsiders!
....when you cross your fingers and hope for the best everytime you cast a spell. ....when the Mender laughs softly to himself when he sees you coming.

when u look at ur lowest dot and think...i can actually cast that one when the tank says to group wait till 80 % before ur first nuke , then wait till 30 %, then dont cast when u think wow that hat looks good and realise it looks like the gaurdian hat from behind when u tell ur self why didnt i make a swashbuckler when u wish soe would "fix" u without nerfind dps to make us less aggro gain. ....
... When you still take the parse with 2+ combat rezzes. ... When the tank has less aggro mods than you. ... When it's actually more efficient to just bomb and get rezzed and bomb again, than to "go slow". ... When it's far better to just rezz you and let you die again than to actually change targets for a heal. ... When your zone-wide dps is proportional if not equal to your all time death record. ... When the SK has you hot-keyed for FD ... When the brigand has you hot-keyed for position slip. ... When the pally just laughs, and gets neked if they put you in his group ... When the MA uses your dps as the change target call. ... When wizards think "well I don't have to worry about aggro yet" cuz you are still alive. ... When you die everyone else hit's their de-aggro for the first time. ... When tanks don't want "to waste the good rescue" on you. ... When the broodling gerble noise is the segzyest thing to you. ... When Netherous realm ping noise kinda gives you tingles. ... When you close your eyes to Catalyst/FHS ---> Apocalypse. ... ---- When you JUST can't say no to the above. ... ---- When after months of doing this you still giggle each time ... ---- When you think "yeah that was worth a 5g repair np". ... When the PU tank says if you don't stop pulling aggro he's going to boot you... (Cont.) ... ---- When you drop the PU Group and finish the instance alone. ... ---- When they re-invite you 5 mins later. ... When your mantra is "I can tank anything for 12 seconds" ... When you can kill 6+ even mobs before Nulmail expires, but you can't handle a second swing from an epic. ... When you wish you had just one more blue spell to fill that 3s gap. ... When you get the HP buff over the crusader. ... When you giggle on vent/TS as the puller calls 4 mobs inc... ... When all 5 FTH mobs drop at once, and you lived, you need smoke break. ... When they bolster you for AE pulls.
When you get rezzed 2ce in the same encounter and say "warm up done, time to dps now"... When Sarik(EH dog) checks his track, sees you and dies a little inside. When the big pull in LoA makes you /cheer, on vent, in fae voice (this one might just be me) When during character creation you select your class and it starts you with a 5% debt When you create your toon and you are 10g in the whole to the local mender. When your class Silken hat, is considered a crash helmet. When your greatest defense last only slightly longer than assassin STA on their "first time". When the only reason they put you in the troub group is to save time on rebuffs. When the raid nick-names you "mop-n-glow" When people stop answering your tells for dps buffs. When the raid leader dreams about you, --- When his dream is you are in a 5th group with a guardian a troub and an Illusionist, and you are invincible. --- When that is really your dream. When you wouldn't trade your broodlings for an undead tide no matter what. When you occasionally wish the conjurer's pet would bite it at about 8%. When they ask you what you had for dinner you say "some aggro with, a side of rezz effects" --- When the desert was hate tells When your class hat is prime for streamline rezzing. When they actually think you are TRYING to die. ----When you just give in and pretend you are. When you don't even bother to repair. ----When no one notices When they don't even bother to give you eyes... you don't need em you'll be dead in a second, just wait.
[p]...when you pull mob off the palidin even when he does have amends on you.(actually had this happen twice)[/p][p]...when you accidently hit rift at the wrong moment and it trigers multiple aftershocks and mobs abbandon the tanks and runs at you.[/p]
LOL reading these are great! It's like a "What you always thought about a warlock and were afraid to say aloud" list .
When you are hot-keyed for the battle rezzer --When he tries to rezz you out of instinct before you've died --When he waits 2s and tries to time rezz and your imminent death at the same time. --When he has a little warlock helmet stamp on his signature for every 10 warlock rezzes in combat. When the FD capable Necro gets a rescue before you. When you say "oops" the coercer hit's thoughtsnap without looking. --When the coercer charges you 2g per thoughsnap When the priests fight over who gets stuck with you. When the MT's rescue macro is: "rescue down warlock quit making me look bad!" ... even IF you didn't do it. --When it's always you that did it. When you kinda like it when you get charmed and, wish the AI would hit the rift key, just once --When you map rift to keys 1-3 just to help the AI find it easier. --Whenever you get charmed and kill a tank you think "I'll show you aggro control !!" --When the tank gets suspicious cuz you giggled on vent as you killed em... (this happened to me last night =p) When you pretend to be afk when the conjurer sends you aggro tips. --When you swear his caster pet can see you moving and is gonna tell em you're really there When the coercer refuses to harm link you, you cure arcane on his pet =)))) --On every pull --When you get a little bummed he eventually gave up. When you bribe the SK to drop the smack talking Assassin --When thats only time you beat em on 2 mobs When you spend far too much time waiting for a rez wondering "just what is this 'void' and debate it's habitability..."
