Glexar · July 29, 2008, 05:11 AM

Character Name: Glexar
Armory Link: The World of Warcraft Armory
Talent Build: 0/21/40,im not sure whether my crits high enough for the build,but its definitely a dps upgrade over my previous build 41/0/20

Quick Info
Health:8,7 K
Mana: 7,7K
+Damage: 1090
+Hit: 200
+Crit: 18.72% (Tooltip)
P.S:i've followed the gearing your warlock guide even before i was 70.

Items/Slots in need of immediate upgrade:
i think its the neck,shoulders,and one of the ring slot

Upgrades you are currently working on:
am currently grinding honor for neck slot (S4 neck crit one),and my guild's gonna start ZA,SSC,TK soon so i'll hopefully get the T5 Shoulders from loot reaver,and the headpiece and trinket from ZA

All about you:
this is my first ever char that i've gotten to 70 and still is.lol.im abit inexperienced as you can see.but im looking for advice and tips that might help me.first of all,im not sure whether aff build or 0/21/40 build would be better for me .but its kinda fun seeing 7k crits pop up lol.and futhermore,im not sure what content my gears are at.i mean my guild still hasnt fully cleared ZA and havent started on Mags,SSC,TK.so they're kinda slow progression wise.so i was thinking of leaving the guild and joining other guild but i need to know what content i can at least do gear-wise.and also when should i start stacking spell haste?

Undoubtedly you will do fine as destro (21/40) since you are 2 points from hit capped. My only concern is that your crit at 18.72% TT is a little low. Due to the way recount and wws calculate dps destro will of course produce bigger numbers but I'm wondering if a UA (41/x/20) build might not produce more damage for you consistently. You are certainly on the right track gear wise and gem wise etc... A good choice to pick up more crit is to get the Guardian's Pendant of Conquest through pvp and gem it with a +10 hit gem that way you're only giving up 5 hit which won't hurt too much (not a bad choice with just the rare gem either.)

Content shouldn't be a problem for you. I'm sure with your gear you could do adequately in SSC/TK and with a few more upgrades you could make attempts at Hyjal.

Read the Haste v. Crit theorycrafting thread. My opinion on the subject is that you really don't have access to many good items for haste. Stack it where you can get some of the decent items but don't sacrifice crit for it until you are nearing the 25% TT crit range. The za sword and timer ring and the badge off hand come to mind. Again don't give up any crit for this stat yet. Part of your job is to maintain ISB and for the good of the raid you can't afford to lose crit.
