Fallenman and Clearly's Guide to BC Raiding as a Warlock The purpose of this guide is to help the warlock community with the ins and outs of raiding in The Wrath of the Lich King expansion. Much of the information here is a collaboration of information that is found throughout these forums, as well as several others. Credit is certainly due to Elitist Jerks forums (Elitist Jerks) and The Warlock's Den (The Warlocks Den ). There are many individuals who have researched, tested, ...

I actually initially wrote this for my guild. It includes very simple WWS analysis tips, with basic benchmarks you should look for, to advanced combat log filtering. If anybody has any questions, or has suggestions for improvement, I'd be happy to hear them all. Initial Analysis These first two sections are only really applicable for a stationary fight, so you can take a look at the optimized picture of your DPS output. Patchwerks is a perfect example, and for the purposes...

The thread here is about Affliction Raiding. This will answer very common questions such as these: Should I use immolate? Should I drop any DoTs from my rotation? What is the rotation? My DPS is really bad, what am I doing wrong? How can I get better at affliction? This will be broken up into 2 posts. The first, below, dealing with DPCTs and whether or not you should cast all of your DoTs. I'll start by clarifying what DoTs should be used. The answer simply is, ALL of them....

This thread will be dedicated to affliction warlock theory.

This post which I will update frequently should contain:

- general information
- raid talent specs
- gear/gem/enchant choices
- playing style tips

for a level 80 raiding (25-man, mainly) affliction warlock.

Hey guys, i'll attempt to collate the vast amount of information in this thread in the shortest / easiest to read form. Firstly i'd like to note the fact that blizzard did not release most of the formulaes for anything in the game. As such, ALL the information, statistics and formulaes are based on empirical evidence and collated by the community around the world. As such, we've gotta keep in mind that, untill Columbus find the Americas, we might be thinking that the world is flat. ...

Hello all, Scince the patch I have spent some hours reading on forums and training on target dummies in IF. I have also tried raiding as affliction in Black Temple with the result of topping damage done on several bosses. Standing a little bit lower on dps though. I thought it would be a good idea to share my personal experiences so far with my fellow locks. Why Affliction - It's fun - It seem's to put out the highest total damage on raidbosses compared to other...

After patch 3.02 demonology raiding has become accessible for anybody that wants to give it a shot. Before now there has always been 2 general prerequisites to being a successful Deep Demo raider. Have at least 2p tier 5 for the healing to your pet. He may not take much damage, but he will surely take some. Corruptor Raiment - Item Set - World of Warcraft The trinket off of Solarian.

About This Post: I started testing felguard raiding first time June 2007 and started gathering screenshots and materials about this way of raiding that almost everyone considered to be for PvP and at least general opinion was like that. I did this a) cause it's fun b) just to prove that even if the build has few flaws, it can be played successfully in high end raiding and I hope people would think out of the box and test different things and builds instead of assuming that general...

*** Reply split from the Raiding With Felguard (SSC, TK, Hyjal, BT) - Page 37 - The Warlocks Den Forums thread and given it's own home here *** Since I haven't really seen anyone else posting information about this yet, I'll toss it up. Raiding Demo in Sunwell Plateau Despite the prevalence of 21/40, Demo is still an extremely viable raid spec well in to Sunwell Plateau. Is it harder to pull off than 21/40? Of course! Is it still just as competitive as it was in BT/MH?...

In other topics I see a lot of discussion about curses and what to do or how to use them in situations. So discuss this central this time ;) I will make a little setup and place the curses in order of application priority or consideration in order of application. The aim with this post is to make one complete central post with all information there is about these spells. Priority one: Curse of Doom : Curses the target with impending doom, causing 4200 Shadow damage after...

I've raided throughout SSC, TK, Hyjal and BT in Felguard Demonology spec (1/43/17), and I'm confident to say this spec is still viable in Hyjal and BT, and performs well in DPS, survivability and utility, but of course there are limitations in certain fights. I'll try to summarise what to do as a Demonologist in each fight, sort of as a continuation to the first few posts of this thread. Tell me if there's anything wrong ok?

*** This post has been copied out from it's original thread (here) for easy finding. It was written for one individual, yet can be used by all. There was talk of a re-write to make it universal, but for the time being, this shall suffice. ~ Akasha *** Ok, so pay attention. I'm going to show you how to analyze your own WWS for the future. Let's look at the Gruul kill since generally that's the best way to measure and analyze your DPS. Concern #1, DoT Uptime DoTs...

Kharazan: Am I ready? Guide written by: badkarma138, Pernicious and Bodhisage Compiled by: Akasha Although not 'bleeding edge' content anymore, there are still a fair few questions popping up asking, "Am I ready for Kharazan?" ...

Original Source: PVE Raiding Compendium - Elitist Jerks Author: Arelenda, Aszune (EU) Posted here with permission to allow members to discuss and learn. Talent choices Warlocks have many great talents, and there is lots of room for customizing your spec. Consequently there are many viable hybrid builds, each requiring a different play style. To keep this guide short, I'll focus on the three main tiers and their most sensible pve raid builds. Even within those there are a lot...

Raiding with Felguard in Zul'Aman: Before I begin this guide, I'd like to first thank Nyarlathotep for his extensive guide on raiding 25 mans with the felguard. All aspiring Demo Locks should make time to slowly read over the great wealth of knowledge in his guide. Unfortunatly demo locks still face mocking even with such resources as Nyarlathotep's guide. I am still amazed by the hate demo locks receive in a raiding environment (mainly from fellow locks). Oh well not much you...

10. Every raiding build needs 5/5 Improved Shadowbolt and 5/5 Bane. No exceptions. The highest DPS builds is 0/21/40, only rivaled by 0/40/21 when a Succubus is free to attack. Before your gear improves, raiding as 41/0/17 is probably the best DPS build. Shadow destruction > fire destruction at a T4+ gear level because of Improved Shadowbolt, and Shadow Bolt scales better than Incinerate with spell damage because it has a higher spell coefficient. 9. Drain Life is NEVER more DPS...

One Warlock’s Guide to Tanking Leotheras the Blind. I’ve seen a good number of people asking about tanking Leotheras, so I thought I’d offer a few of the tips, hints, and strategies on what I’ve learned to tank Leo. This guide is not about what other people should be doing, I’ll leave that to the many wonderful guides already out there. Instead, I’ll be focusing on the Warlock tank’s job during this fight.

So you want to start raiding… We have a lot of the same questions pop up on these forums. Many that I frequently see are asked by people that are either just starting raiding or not very far into there raiding careers. While pretty much all of these questions are answered on these forums, I don’t think we have anywhere that a new to raiding warlock can go and have most of his questions answered in 1 shot. So I figured I would start a post where we can put in all of the...

New in Patch 2.1, Druids have an epic flying form attainable through a quest chain. What does this have to do with Locks? Well, the last part of the quest chain involves killing Anzu - a NEW BOSS in Heroic Sethekk Halls! Not only does this boss drop a badge, bringing Sethekk Halls in line with the standard 3 badges per run, but it has a chance to drop a very cool looking epic land mount usable by anybody. I went along with some guildies to help one of our Druids complete the quest, and...

Therefore i will just write down what i think important, maybe you can fill in more and we manage to create some small guide to...

Just completed the 45 minute baron run and thus far, it is easily the toughest quest in the game if you don't hire a bunch of epic toons to run you through it, which I think is really lame but understandable, especially if you've ran the 45 minute baron run till your eyes bled and got tired of so many failures. Anyways, gotta say, give Blizzard props cause it's one of the funnest things you will ever do in WOW. I wish they had more timed quests like that in instances that really...

We finally went through 45 min Baron without a hitch! We didn't even have to use the soulstone trick, although it was in our back pocket in case we were short on time. Here is what I have learned in my embittered battle with the baron: Group Make up The most crucial component of the group is: Priest (for healing/Rezzing and shackling) Mage (for sheeping casters, counterspelling, and AOEing skeletons, clearing out Ziggurats)
