This week’s Blog Azeroth Shared Topic is all about the total ‘tards that surround us every day in game. Since Gnomer managed to suggest something that I am totally in sync with (‘tarding it up is my specialty!), I decided that I would have a shot at writing about this one.
So, what is a locktard?
Thankfully, they are a very rare creature which can not be often spotted out and about in Azeroth. Key tips to finding this rare and fascinating creature include keeping an eye open for:
- The lock who soulstones themselves in parties instead of someone who can rez
- The lock who takes the Mp5 gear, because ‘it’s shiny and I hate lifetapping’
- The lock who spams Searing Pain, because they talented into it
- The lock who talented into Searing Pain because it was there
- The lock who uses their Voidwalker to DPS
- The lock who melees when they go OOM
- The lock who can’t chain seduce effectively
- The lock who fears a mob into other packs of mobs in instances
- The lock who life taps themselves half to death and then stands IN THE VOID ZONE
No doubt there are other characteristics of locktards out there. While I don’t spot too many locktards, they are out there, and they should be stopped. However, I am sure that there is a little locktard in all of us. Honestly, I have done half these things myself… oh no, I am secretly a locktard?

Are LockTards also NocTards, being the masters and mistresses of the dark?

Nothing wrong with soulstoning yourself. Can’t dps whilst dead and meters are everything to a locktard :p
Just hit 80 on my lock and I suspect I’m going to be committing every crime in the book on my first warlocky trip to Naxx tonight.
Perhaps sneaking in a rebanish even though everything else is already dead so you can lifetaps/finish your cookie without losing place on the dps meter is also a sign of a locktard.
Or people who have their pets on aggressive in neutral towns. Or having your pet on aggressive fullstop.

*sheepishly raises hand.
I was very distraught about my dps in a VoA run the other day. Was not until the 5th time I went back to WWS to check what the hell I was doing that I realised I had no pet. Hmm Demo lock – pet = failock

Thank you for an excellent post!
Gotta add one though.
“a lock who persists with always doing Seed of Corruption on all packs in an instance – even when there are only 2 of them.”

Hehehe…. I have a bad habit of using Rain of Fire after most of the mobs are dead. Yay for not paying attention on trash!
