I just got my little lock to 80 about five days ago and Soulshatter is definitely not as good as FD. ~_~ But, when I was leveling and doing normal random dungeons in Northrend she was Aff since I leveled as aff. I didn’t have aggro problems as Aff since you do less damage and it takes longer for your damage to get rolling than Destro.

The thing I loved about soloing while leveling on my lock was, as aff, I could dot up as many mobs as I could reach and the healing from the dots meant I never had to eat or drink. I’ve never found hunters to be very efficient at killing multiple mobs at once while solo, so it’s a neat change.

Is not Ice Block, it’s Invisibility!

I’ve actually got an amusing story.

It was in Utgarde Keep, normal version. My warlock was level 70 or 71. Anyways, there was a pack of mobs outside the stairs, with one of them runecasters (might have been two). The tank dies because of the fire rune damage and it looks bad. The mobs come tearing at the healer and I use Howl of Terror sending them running. My felguard is tanking one, and I have dots ticking on the others. Howl wears off and one had died in the mean time. I cast fear on one while I health funnel the felguard. Its target dies then we finish off the last one. It was awesome.

@Shagrat – I love when Warlocks do that. Randomly I’ll bubble it to them.

Wait until you get Seed of Corruption. I play a game with the tanks to see if they can hold aggro with my spamming seed on every mob in a pack.

@sara: Kitty aggro dump is Cower. Should be available fairly early if I remember correctly but don’t call me on it. (You know things are really, really going downhill if you shapeshift from Moonkin to Cat for a Cower.)

(1) Fear until Soulshatter. Not as good, but it’s something to put distance.

(2) If you do happen to be singular instead of group, Void > Imp.

(3) “Bad tank! No cookie for you!” ?

I think that soulshatter will probably fall short of expectations. Being merely a aggro reducer rather then a complete wipe.

Invisiblity for mages is similar to FD, if you can get it off before you die. Though waaay more temporary then FD

@ Kit – honestly I level strictly through LFG so I have no idea how to solo.

But in all the instances I do I just DoT stuff up and then wand the heck out of them while my imp backs up. On longer fights (bosses) I Shadow Bolt rather than wand, and for more than two or so mobs I Rain of Fire.
