why do peple still go demo or destro? the ISF nerf was a class wide nerf...aff lost 15% haste which sums up to 1 dor tick per application..as well as demo and destro. Destro is currently topping the charts from what i see

[MaanaWoW]

@ummmj - Destro is currently looking like the best spec - but the differences between the three are minor. It's close enough between the three for personal preference to be just fine. Demo still provides an important raid buff and Afflictions Dark Intent target benefits much more than from Demo or Destro - making the differences between Destro and Affliction quite small in the grand scheme of things.

what are we going to be using souburn for? ( affliction)

[MaanaWoW]

@sangrealnotreal - Right now there's no clear dps choice. It's possible that we may be using it for some cute moves like instant summoning the felhunter during sub-25% bloodlust/heroism for demon soul....but it seems like it won't be worth the loss in damage from the succubus.

I'll cover it in more detail in a post 4.0.6 affliction video.

Thanks man!

Just subbed, awesome guide, keep these up please! :D

I have one question, What is the best stat for Warlock in this patch?

Should we Reforge to Haste untill we get enough CRIT for like 50%.

Or should we focus more on the Mastery?

I think this question is a question that's going around alot.

Sorry for my bad english and thanks in advance! :D

[MaanaWoW]

@StoRdKids - Thanks a lot :0

Our best stat is still without a doubt Intellect. We should always be reforging to hit if we're not hitcapped - and if we're hitcapped we should then be reforging to haste...this applies to almost every spec at almost all gear levels. There are some specs that benefit more from mastery at certain gear levels - but I'll cover that in detail in a video.

I still say Demo aoe are beast. In well of eternity i hit 120k on the last boss.

[2unzArt]

@ummmj people just jump on whatever the best spec is. its tiring and frustrating. i have never changed from affliction, nor will i ever.

@Scrabblet2 i dont have that problem anymore, im now lvl 74 and do epic damage and dps :D

[Scrabblet2]

@zizzy897 Damage below 85 doesn't really count. Do what you feel like.

[LockGyula]

I HATE THIS PATCH!!!

[zizzy897]

Im a lvl 20 warlock and im doing crappy damage im destro and i crit 199, while a mage at lvl 20 does 220 damage as normal and crit like 400. what should i specc? cuz im doing no damage at all it sucks.

[LownoFTW]

I'm going destro for PvE, but have a question, what's the best choice to lock PvP? i'm using destro but the only instant cast it's conflagrate,and always dispell my immolate-.-' so it's a little hard with silence and something like that...

[pastdead1]

@marcujerk901 Demonology is beast in pve if you know what your doing

[ColetZee]
