to answer the Spec question. i will first point you to Arena Junkies - World of Warcraft PvP Strategy and Discussion they have tons of info on spec and spec performance in PVP.

personally i use the 0/17/54 spec. it gets you down to soul-link in the demonology tree and the rest goes down to chaos bolt in Destro. check out arena junkies for the full info on the spec.

i really like it though. you need alot of burst in PVP (In my opinion) so this has been working great.

however according to Arena Junkies they say that an Affliction/Destro Spec is best in Arena. i have never tried it, and i don't care for Affliction that much so i don't know from experience, but play the spec you like the best.

as for the pet, i use the Felhunter so he can stop casts and devour debuffs off of me. plus the soul-link helps. and i keep him on passive so he don't die when i go attacking someone.

now question... as for the Gear discussion, i see you guys mention the Hateful Gear alot... what is wrong with the Deadly Gladiator Gear? isn't it better? i thought the deadly was a step above the hateful...

I imagine the posters recommend Hateful over Deadly for starting since Deadly gear requires arena rating for purchase (unless you luck out in VoA). Hateful may be purchased solely with honor.

You can buy deadly cloak, boots, ring and a couple of other things. Chest, helm, legs etc are only Hateful for just honour.

Cant post new topics for 7 days because I have a new account, I just have one question: I have the hateful gladiators felweave handguards The World of Warcraft Armory, and a friend reccomended i put a +19 spell power red gem into them. However this does not give me the + 5 spell power socket bonus a blue gem would give me. Do you guys think this was a good call?

Probably. Rarely are socket bonuses better for a Warlock then a raw 19 spellpower gem. I think the breakoff point is about +7 spellpower socket bonus. If its blue, a 9 spellpower 8 spirit gem should break even with Improved Fel Armor and a +7 spellpower socket bonus.

Gemming for PVP has always been awkward for me. I'm under the impression that it's better to gem stam/resil if you're in a DPS/Healer team, and gem more spellpower for a double deeps team.

Regardless, I don't find many instances where a 19 spellpower gem is the "wrong" choice, heh.

Patch 3.0 Re: PVP Stats and Gems

I have a few questions about which gems Destr locks should use.. Right Now I use +9spell/8resil & 8resil/12stam gems because I don't have the full set yet. Once I get more PvP pieces, should I switch over to +19 spell power gems? I was looking at the top-ranked arena link, and 90% of the gems used are +spell power, even for dest locks. Or should I put in some +spell pen gems too?

Also I am an enchanter, Should I put +stam on my rings or +spell power?

Thanks for the help and the advice I have seen so far!
