It is a narrated youtube video explaining glyphs, talents, macros, ui mods and spell rotations (standard and decimate). It's my first video guide so be gentle.

With Demo Pact, you want to run with Life Tap glyph. The Glyph will give you ~100 sp (for 500 spirit) and with Demo Pact, give the raid an additional 10sp. 10sp x 20people (25 minus you, warriors and rogues) + 100sp is a net 300sp for the raid.

I personally run FG/LT/Immo glyphs.

Lephturn Character Info Lephlock 80 Blood Elf Warlock Earthen Ring US RP Guild: Team Awesome Talent Spec: 0/55/16	Re: Meta/Ruin Patch 3.1.x guide In regards to Demonic Pact vs. Elemental Shaman buff there are a few other factors to consider: 1. In Naxx + gear your buff will likely be higher than an elemental shaman's. 2. Most 25 man raids put DP uptime from the Felguard at 88-90%. 3. The Elemental Shaman has to give up 300-500 personal DPS to put out Searing Totem instead of a DPS totem, so either way somebody has to sacrifice personal DPS for raid DPS, and honestly I think the Meta warlock will give up less personal DPS for the end raid benefit. 4. Trinket, glyph, and set bonus procs to SP and spirit will significantly buff Demonic Pact, and do it immediately. So if your FG has 10x stack up with 3200 personal SP = 320 SP buff, and sundial procs, you LT for another 100 SP, and you get more from 4T7, you next FG crit refreshes that 10 stack with your personal SP at say 4000 so DP is now 400 for the raid. At lower gear levels I think it was more debatable, but with Ulduar level gear I'd suggest that DP is the superior raid buff, and that the Meta lock gives up less personal DPS to get it than the Ele shaman would give up for the inferiour raid buff. __________________ http://elitistjerks.com/f80/t48311-simulationcraft_post_3_1_specs/ Lephlock 80 Demonology Warlock <TEAM AWESOME> - Earthen Ring US Last edited by Lephturn; July 02, 2009 at 01:04 PM..
