Lock Raiding Builds for 3.0
- Thread starter Nickd
- Start date
Affliction Locks are topping the damage meters since DoTs now scale a lot better. Typically, the damage meters are looking like: Affliction Lock, Mage, Destro Lock, Hunter. Affliction Locks can only achieve this with 100% DoT uptime.
I am quite stoked that Affliction has gotten the damage buffs it needed. The spell rotations have said to be the most complex in game. At Blizzcon it was stated that this would be looked at though.
However, Demo and Destro have been pounded into the ground in terms of damage output. Locks still have a few worthless talent points that have made it through a few reviews and now 2 expansions. Shadowburn and Conflag are scaling even worse as they do not get modifiers from talents.

I tried this build and managed around 1.5k dps in my current gear on the target dummies, ie no buffs/shammy/boomkin/etc.
Haven't played around with aff much, but my gf says its awesome and if you keep your dots up with a good rotation its damn easy to break 1.2k.
This is of course if ALL the new talents make the patch, apparently there are gonna be some missing and some major bugs to fix over the coming weeks.

Can anyone say "Curse of Doom" 
I for one am glad that Aff. locks are back in end game raiding.
Nothing's better than getting your rotation down and and seeing a spell timer chok full of dots and never letting one drop
.
Also now I can finally use my timbals focusing crystal

I have alot of catching up to do since WARs release
Last time i was looking into it the typical DS/detruction was topping the theory,
even with the dot scaling.
They must of changed some things thou
God i love throwing dots, spamming bolts really burnt me out
Ok stop dots
now hit it like you mean it

What I need to know is, what'll be the best PVP specs at 60, and 70?
I'm guessing some variants of XX/11/0? ie the new Tier3 Soul Link, then Affliction as deep as you can go (woo Improved Felhuner!)? 60 spec is gonna be tough because it's either 51 for Haunt then you can't get Soul Link, for take Soul Link but then ya can't take Haunt. :/
Personally I don't think Demo will be that great for PVP. 30 seconds of uberness ala Metamorphosis doesnt make up for the diminished survivability and crap overall damage.

So... has anyone come up with a good lock spec yet?
Skurm, the best spec at 60 will still be SL/SL. My survivability has dropped dramatically since I have not picked up Soul Link yet as I am trying a PvE build. I have had a Warrior take me from 7k HP to nil in a matter of a few seconds a number of times. I however don't have any resil yet so that plays a small factor.
PvPing with a Lock at 70 is going to be a nightmare against Melee.
