Destro Lock in need of advice

silentsnake · July 09, 2008, 08:36 AM

My Fellow Warlocks,

I am currently Destro spec and raiding in MH and BT. My armory is:
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...&n=Silentsnake

It may show that I have my nights end cloak on, but I just recently switched back to my nethervoid cloak.

With the cloak I am sitting at 211 spell hit and 1191 SD without Fel Armor (so 1291).

I recently got: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=32270

My question is, do I still stack +damage to my gear, or go with +crit, or +haste, or a combination of both? I plan on buying the badge crit pants and have: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=30024 in my bank (I have had a hard time trying to figure out if breaking the set will decrease my overall dps).

My wife plays a priest and she has all the epic cut gem patterns, so I could farm badges and get +spell haste and +damage, for my gear or get +spell crit and +damage, or stick with +damage.

I was also considering putting soulfrost on my blade for the extra 13 sd, but that still up in the air.

If you guys could share your thoughts and words of wisdom, I would greatly appreciate it!

I see you have a lot of good pieces with +hit on them but your crit is a little low. I also see you've had some good luck with drops in za. At this point, I would say that you need to get your crit up to around 25% TT. Then just keep it there and balance around crit haste and damage.

I myself have similar issues with the drops I've gotten because sometimes it becomes -hmmm, 5damage and 1.5% haste vs. 1.2% crit- or something like that. The best way to figure it out is to run your gear in the warlock spreadsheet [leulier's] (run a search i'm to lazy to link it.) That way you can see which stats are weighted best and which gear gives you the best theoretical dps.
