3.1 Patch Changes. How will it affect us Locks?
So Patch 3.1 is coming out soon (we hope) and there is a lot of new things coming. Dual-spec, Ulduar, and of course the new changes to classes, races, etc. So that raises a big question. How will all of this affect us Warlocks? We know that Dual-spec will allow us with one spec for raiding, one for farming, or one for PvP, etc. but what do you think would be a good spec to have for strictly dps in raids and then the best for aoe farming? I am asking this because when 3.1 comes out and I get one spec for raids and one for farming I'm not exactly sure, with all the changes, what the best spec will be. I am pretty well geared so my DPS isn't suckish right now. Leave posts on what you think. All help is appreciated. Thanks!!!

Re: 3.1 Patch Changes. How will it affect us Locks?
Honestly I personally will probably be going destruction. Which is fine for farming, but I am going to do demo as a second spec for solo purposes. I've tested quite a few specs out, and I'm sure there is some things I'm missing but so far its looking like Destruction for sure. (Life tap, Immolate, Imp) I believe is what I have for glyphs. Curse of Elements will be something I will now use on all bosses. As affliction you cannot because you would be sacrificing Curse of Agony, and that is something I wasnt fond of. The destruction class is based on crit not haste. I gave specs that I tried with around 700 haste and it just doesn't cut it. Crit stacked is more benefical. I keep my hit at 368+ talents because you never know what kind of group makeup you will have, and I for one like to be where I need to be. I will eventually put up something on destruction spec I have in mind, or you can just armory me come tuesday -hopes for the patch- =] I just thought I would share some input...

Re: 3.1 Patch Changes. How will it affect us Locks?
I'll probably end up getting 2 raiding speccs, one for bosses (affliction when DG is up) and the other for other stuff (deciding between deep destro and 40/31) |

Re: 3.1 Patch Changes. How will it affect us Locks?
Once I started thinking about having dual specs, I noticed I'd prefer having a third spec... one for bosses, one for trash, one for pvp... and a forth one? I think I'll go with the 40/31 spec and take the other one for PvP, unless there are other extreme requirements in Ulduar (e.g. warlock tank). I liked the old affliction, but then 3 month of dot timing are enough, and its getting boring in 3.1 anyways

Re: 3.1 Patch Changes. How will it affect us Locks?
Meh, I think affliction is pretty much on par with the other speccs now as far as amount of work (well, except for deep destro which is a joke). Yes, it's a bit too easy now, but I'll get used to it and my latency will probably be happy with the changes. Oh, and Quote:

Re: 3.1 Patch Changes. How will it affect us Locks?
I'll have my raid spec. Most likely Demo.. just because its never really been a good raid spec and I'm hoping it will be. (getting tired of affliction also). My second will be PvP. Prolly affliction/demo. I like it that way.

Re: 3.1 Patch Changes. How will it affect us Locks?
I'm not sure yet. I love affliction, so want to stay that, but I also just started having fun with meta. Its my first time going demo, and while its far from a great spec, its a lot of fun. So if all I did was pve, I would go affliction and then demo for my 2nd build, but I also love pvp so I am not sure yet. It would be great if demo proved to be a great pvp spec, that way I could kill two birds with one stone. |
