900+ is the magic number

pwndzorr · November 28, 2007, 11:27 PM

Well i finally got the S1 spell blade, and i am getting the S3 off hand next week. I have all merc glad gear except gloves and pants (which are merc and imbued pants.)
So anyway i replaced bringer of death staff and hit +935 (or more depending on buffs) damage, up from 850. I wouldn't think 70 extra damage would be that huge a diff in the scheme of things....but it is!

In the BG's i went from being in the top 4 killing blows and damage to being top 2 every time. Rogues, warriors who were trouble before just drop. Curse of Agony, CORR, death coil, immo, shad burn all the while my felguard is wailing away with 800 crit cleaves.

Alliance watch out when i get my S3 offhand and S1 pants + weapon enchants...I will be rocking 1000 + damage of pain.

Pre-The Burning Crusade (post 41 pt talents) I owned everyone as a frost mage in battlegrounds*, but as a warlock in The Burning Crusade, it's a bit tough for me to win in the KB dept (a friend with S2 full set let me play on his lock, so don't look at my crapbox 70). Seems like a good hunter generally takes the crown, followed by an equally skilled mage. Getting in top damage is where locks shine IMO (well at least as affliction, anyway).

*Some old SSs if you care:

Getting in top damage as a affliction lock is easypie, tab 1 - 2 -3 tab 1 - 2 -3 tab 1 - 2 - 3 etc. etc...

It gets even easier when your have the 1-2-3 set as a macro, I am always top 3 in damage, sadly because I like to run into crowds and iHot for giggles I am usually top 3 in deaths as well.

One of the things I've noticed since a recent respec is that shadowburn will really up the killing blows. When I had it, I would ALWAYS be top in kb, without it its pretty dependent on how much I get kills snatched out from under me. Rogues love to wait in stealth next to someone while you're fighting them, then pop out and save the day when they have 2k health left.
