excellent sustainability of the build

17:31

"My experience has been completely opposite.Many warlocks have leveled as affliction locks due to the excellent sustainability of the build. I leveled as Demo till around 40, then switched to Dest.We are used to making snap decisions about DoTs on the fly and we enjoy the versatility warlocks have with respect to killing stuff: fear-kiting, drain-tanking and so on. I liked Dest a lot but then I found myself often farming in the mid-50's to lvl 60 and I *hated* it.Hence it is understandable if some affliction players complain that the destro playstyle is "boring" or a "no-brainer" - since the active interaction with what's happening on screen is cut down significantly. Damage was great, but downtime sucked, I often overkilled stuff/wasted mana, and all the drinking was eating into my wallet as well. Blizzard also seems to want most of us to become shadow bolt spammers in the end, as Warlock tier 6 gear favors shadow bolting locks. So I tried the Afflic spec to make my DoTs more powerful and mana gaining abilities available/more viable."Why is Blizzard not making gear tailored to our favorite build. All of a sudden farming was great fun! Completely different play style, for sure. I had planned on switching back sometime, for raiding and such, but just never did." is the question asked by many affliction warlocks. To my surprise I found myself still usually out-damaging everyone in dungeons. It is however interesting to note that on the WWS Scoreboard, a neat ranking chart based on raid data pulled from WoW Web Stats, just 10 of 15 top Warlock DPSers are 0/21/40. world of warcraft buy gold Plus it's really valuable to be able to heal myself so well.Out of the five who aren't destro locks, two are demonology, one is affliction and two have hybrid demo/destro builds - building for Soul Link probably.

So I kept the spec. I had planned on switching back sometime, for raiding and such, but just never did. At the point I'm at now, my DoTs are overkill for even-con mobs so I still waste mana unless fighting elites, but DoTs are cheap, and I can get mana back easily.To my surprise I found myself still usually out-damaging everyone in dungeons. gold kaufen wow I may do slightly less damage than a Destlock, but it's not significant.Plus it's really valuable to be able to heal myself so well. What is significant is how flexible I am now.So I kept the spec. Fear-kiting is powerful too, and much easier with good DoTs.At the point I'm at now, my DoTs are overkill for even-con mobs so I still waste mana unless fighting elites, but DoTs are cheap, and I can get mana back easily. wow gold My guild had a tough time in Magister's Terrace, but I joined and fear-cc'd plus fear-kite and we waltzed through the place (fear only gets adds with inexperienced players).I may do slightly less damage than a Destlock, but it's not significant. The only complaint I have with the spec is that my DPS starts slowly, then builds to a frenzy.What is significant is how flexible I am now. It would be nice if I had a spell that applied all my DoTs at once, because even though most are instant, there's still the global cooldown between each cast. I know that its pretty much considered a taboo due to SB having higher spell damage coefficients and ISB > all and all that jazz, but with the addition of haste in a lot of gear and the new emberstorm buff makes a firey 0/21/40 spec viable these days.Fear-kiting is powerful too, and much easier with good DoTs.

buying gold world of warcraft I've used this spec since before 2.4 and imo I don't think it makes much difference between the 20% extra shadow damage proc (which could well just disappear before you can strike again since anyone and their dear aunt sally can use up the charges), and the 10% flat rate of Emberstorm. My guild had a tough time in Magister's Terrace, but I joined and fear-cc'd plus fear-kite and we waltzed through the place (fear only gets adds with inexperienced players). Just my 2 cents mind..."world of warcraft gold .The only complaint I have with the spec is that my DPS starts slowly, then builds to a frenzy.
