Re: Gearing Your Warlock in WoTLK

Cloak

Pre-raiding/heroics: Get the Deathchill Cloak crafted. The mats actually aren't too bad, probably under 1000g. That's not bad for a top 3 cloak in the game, with no obvious upgrades in sight.

Tier 7 raiding: There's no reason to not have the Deathchill Cloak so you can get an opportunity to improve other slots with raid gear.
  1. Pennant Cloak (Sartharion - The Obsidion Sanctum 25) DP: 5944
  2. Deathchill Cloak (BoE Tailoring) DP: 5192
  3. Shroud of Luminosity (Multiple Bosses - Naxxramas 25) DP: 4488

Re: Gearing Your Warlock in WoTLK (NOT Finished)

Please note this guide is NOT FINISHED yet. However, it's also not been touched for over a month, and Canadianpimp's not replied to any emails about showing it off early.

So many people are commenting that they miss the guide, so hopefully they might be able to garner some from the info already done.

Akasha: It looks mostly done, with a few key things missing. I also think he might be using outdated DP values for some of them. I can finish it up if you'd like.

Ok, come on. These weapons are at least identical, I'd even rank haunting call slightly higher. There is no way that haunting call can be ranked 15% lower than the soulblade.

Same issue with the cloaks. Deathchill cloak is really nice and comparable to most Naxx 25 drops, but this guide ranks it 10-20% higher, this is wrong.

Looking at the Gem lists, it seems this guide ranks haste and crit higher than spellpower... this may happen again when we reach T9 gear but not now

I think Rutiene could easily repair and finish this, I would hide it until its done however.

Re: Gearing Your Warlock in WoTLK (NOT Finished)

Could I get editing rights to clean it up, or would that not be a good idea? If writing from scratch, I think I'm going to wait until the gear lists for 3.1 are officially released. I've been going through it right now and the DP values are going to change significantly and we should no longer be modeling via Affliction as 0/40/31 is going to be the more dominating spec. The interaction between the new items and the currently available ones will also create an interesting dynamic. (For example: I'm currently exploring the merits of keeping 2 piece T7 vs 4 pc T8.)

Re: Gearing Your Warlock in WoTLK (NOT Finished)

Technically it's still Canadianpimp's guide, so I would recommend starting from scratch. Even if you copy and paste the info and it's all the same, needs to be under your name to give editing rights.

If you wanted to wait until 3.1, that's cool too. Up to you

Re: Gearing Your Warlock in WoTLK (NOT Finished)

Good job indeed, but as others pointed out, those DP values are messed up a little
Kudos for doing this!

Re: Gearing Your Warlock in WoTLK (NOT Finished)

May I suggest using stat values from here:
SampleOutputPTR - simulationcraft - Google Code

Using the same conversion of 1dps = 100 DP values for 53/18 affliction lock should look something like this:
int - 21
spirit - 82
spellpower - 159
hit - 194
crit - 76
haste - 98


If that spec isn't too good then of course it could be run with whatever other spec is needed.
