For a little background, I leveled (quite painfully) to 70 on a PvP server, and grew a serious distaste for the stuff. Since my transfer Gnomeregan, I've really been able to shine -- if an evil, maniacal, shadow-obsessed demon-summoner can really "shine".I enjoy working up my own custom UI, and I build macros to make my game easier. I try to keep abreast of the UI, Addons and Macros subforum. If you have any related questions, I should see them there.
Relearning my spec
Posted October 31, 2009 at 05:16 AM by Cormanthor
Now that I am "Cormanthor the Hallowed", I can respec out of my temporary Affliction PvP build. My primary build for some time now has been the standard 0/13/58, sometimes varied for the extra-chocolatey cookies. But what should I put in my off spec?
I toyed around with the idea of staying Affliction. It was a great deal of fun to DoT up the known world, pull more mobs than most tanks would, and laugh as they run around til dead. But for some reason, I can't get into that spec in a dungeon or raid. I feel like I need more mobs, more pressure, to make it fun.
I set my sights forward a bit to the next patch. 3.3 is going to bring some pretty significant changes, none of which will change the way I play Destro. But the Demonology tree is looking sweet once again!
So in preparation for 3.3, I went back to a 0/56/15 spec. Demonic Pact is sitting right at about 300 spellpower while milling about in Dalaran. Obviously that goes up with raid buffs. And the ISB crit debuff is sweet as well.
So my plan is to run deep demo for everything at the moment. I'll be looking to adjust my Power Auras as necessary to help me run this spec right. I've already rolled up a good heroic dungeon with an undergeared group. The mage managed about 1800 dps to my 2700 dps. My thoughts were about his last heroic, and how much his dps changed because of the buffs I now provide. If he had Recount, I can just imagine the "Holy crap!" moment when he saw the effects of a 300 SP boost at that level!
