[GUIDE] Warlock F.A.Q. - 3.3.5a

[eber]

Anyone wanna talk about the importance of Ruin vs putting a point into dark pact? Dont see why thats such a sore subject....

Ah that must have been you in dal. Dark pact gives more mana than life tap. I took the point out of ruin and put it in pet heals.

yeah and you ignored me! I didnt know you didnt enjoy talking warlock shop ingame. I saw you and thought "oh my must inspect!"

I ignored you cause I was busy helping a guildy and getting /w by 2 other people. Plus, it's 2 am and I'm tired and cranky didn't want to defend my build atm. Don't take it personally, you just caught me at a bad time.

I've been experimenting with several talent and stat builds. This one just happens to be the one I'm trying out this week.

Dark pact gives more mana than life tap.

But you have to hit lifetap (or dp) anyway to keep buff up so if life tap gives you X amount of mana and dark pact gives you X+y amount does it matter that much? I only ask because you have to hit one every 40 seconds. Fel concentration is a good talent but i would think nightfall is more dps and the last point in ruin. Im not saying im right, i would like to hear your thoughts behind your choices.

reread glyph of life tap

Use: When you use Life Tap or Dark Pact, you gain 20% of your Spirit as spell power for 40 sec.

Drain soul's execution phase is arguably the strongest spell dmg you have, in icc there is a lot of raid wide dmg and I got fel concentration just for drain soul. But it also help's with casting haunt and ua (and drain life should i need to (queen)).
Most of the early affliction tree talents are optional and change according to the player's like's dislikes. Nightfall is nice to have, but so is imp fh (especially if shadow bite is working again) and if i have imp fh I might as well get dark pact.

As for why i took a point out of ruin, it was to keep healing my pet. I felt that it cost me less dps than to stop casting and health funnel my pet. I could be wrong, but I'll wait and see.

the (or dp) means dark pact. Its late ima have to read this again tomorrow when im not so tired. :D

[bloodipeich]

You are losing a lot of dps from that point in ruin, shadow bolt is or should be your first or 2nd damage skill.

If you want to drp something for pet heals, let it be imp felhunter since you dont want to remove dark pact.

[dtgulab]

you are orc yes?

Did you try reapplying the dots after getting the bite?

oh i found out how to fix that - all the dots u had before you got the bite - let them run out, then apply them again - only then the 100% dmg increase works.

[bloodipeich]

So he tells you how to fix it, then your next post is, quoting him mind you.

Oh, i now know how to fix it!

Well, no **** sherlock.

I don't know if this is the right thread, but I figured posting it here is better than making a new one. Anyway, which trinket combination is better?

DFO(HC) +CTS (HC) or Muradin's Spyglass (HC)+ DFO(HC)?

My self-buffed sp is 3.3k, crit is 25%, and my haste is 1k :| I'm having a hard time deciding. Thanks and sorry!

Id personally say to use DFO and CTS.
Im not the best warlock so I may be wrong but it seems like those are the BiS trinkets for warlocks.

haha what a great clip!

Ya, it was nice. Shame that I had my whole signature changed to a crappy clown. Wish I had the time to save all the links I had in my signature...

Edit: On topic so I dont get another infraction, warlocks are boss.
