Did you Just Spot That Locktard? May 29, 2009
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?

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.

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!
