Warlock Thread

CoE is only useless if you have a moonkin in your group/raid. The reason being is one of their talents puts on a buff that increases dmg with every cast they do. I can't remember what it's called but since it doesn't stack with CoE you might as well not cast it and cast CoA or CoR instead.

I still take malediction though for the passive +3% increase in dmg.

I might have read it wrong so pls forgive me if I have.

I read it on here http://www.wowmb.net/forums/ and I'm trying to find that discussion again. During that discussion they said something about the Shadow Embrace proc and the use of the Felhound instead of the IMP for something or another.

I will keep looking for it and once I find it I'll post a direct link
 
Yeah, I've heard that there is a bug with Shadow Embrace in that it only affects one lock per mob. So if you have 2 locks, only the first one to hit the mob with a SB or Haunt gets the benefit of it. Felpups are the aff locks pet of choice these days, for its Fel Intelligence buff (+ int and spirit).

Anyway, how are your guys builds looking. I just hit 80 last night threw together this aff build: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=IfxMbhMAoVq0IstZE00q

Nice and deep aff with the bonus of ruin, short SBs with ISB and even shadowburn to keep up with dps on the trash ;P.

I'll probably move out thos points in Fel Concentration later, but I'm farming mats for my proffs now so it makes life easier. It's 3 points which is perfect for dark pact and imp. felhunter for later. (If I feel I need dark pact)

I still took shadow embrace, but I might drop it if they don't fix the bug by the time I start proper raiding.

Nice to be aff again after Demo for leveling. I'm gonna miss being able to solo elites 3 lvls higher than myself though. Damn buffed VW is amazing.
 
I'm Currently lvl 70 only spec'd DPS on Affliction and now started to put talents in Demo for the Shorter cast on SB and will then expand that to the SB + damage.

I'll see if I can find my tree. It's just a stupid random built I did while leveling :D
 
at the moment my build probably has major flaws. Destruction down to Chaos bolt. Im working my way down the Demonology tree at the moment.

With the respec, i didnt really give it much thought, as I didnt know the full implications of the new abilities, gear scaling, etc, As I am leveling and doing some 5mans, i'm getting a feel for it. Im going to try demo and affliction builds before I settle on a build.

Im not too concerned. When I get to level 80 and start raiding, I'll start worrying about it. I currently still have my lvl 70 raiding gear(except for neck, ring...).At lvl 80, I will start looking at my build and see what the other locks are doing and try to compliment them.
 
so much to read ;) time to go more affliction then :P
