Introduction

Constant spread pressure with DoTs and powerful defensive tools such as

Soul Link

and

Master Healthstone

make SL/SL Warlocks absolute fear-inducing monsters in arena. Properly micro-managing your

Felhunter

's positioning, offensive and defensive dispels, and health is paramount to your success. You can quickly find yourself on the backfoot if it dies and

Fel Domination

is on cooldown.
