Okay so now you have seen two of the specs. If you have a specific spec that you would like us to try out. Copy and paste the link or copy the spec and I or maybe Meresitt will try it out for you. Respeccing in beta is only costing us 1 cp so I have no problems trying to do it.

I tried a heavy affiliction build, the one I thought I would do before I got a beta invite, and I would grade about a C. Okay dmg (not as high as demo) but very low survivibily. I tried this grinding and on a few quests. My guess is this would be good for raiding, but for leveling it's a pain.

Ok I tried the spec,I ran around 6-7 quest and one quest chain with it.
I wasn't able to test it in an instance. The damage is impressive, I
was getting 1111 crits with immolate and a few 2k shadowbolts.
(This is similar damage to demology but just a bit higher on the nukes
and lower on the dots) I think this would be a great raiding spec but
for leveling I didnt care for it too much. But mana was a big downfall,
I was using my voidwalker to tank and he just can't hold the aggro.
Hope that helps.
Mere
BTW Shadowfury is fun, but the damage is really low,, 400-500 1K
crits. But it does stun although this was resisted a couple times.

I ran 41 affliction and had different results. I found the dmg to fairly good but not huge numbers it was dot then stack in a drain life and you end the fight in about 5-10 secs or less and have almost full mana. While it was a pain tagging a mob before someone else I had zero issues grinding mobs and found it easier with less downtime then the heavy dest build I tested. Also the fact that you have multiple instant cast on the move spells with going full affliction.
I plan on doing a 44/17/0 build at release all built around dots and increasing raid dps with the increased coe/cos. I felt the dest talents didnt help much since with afflictions its all about dots not the shadowbolts.

Thats a crazy video showing the nonstop aoe grinding power of an affliction warlock with just a healer.

I'm trying to figure out which is better, improved range on my affliction spells or 66% more mana to my pet. Also, if you guys think that any of these builds are dumb for whatever reason, as long as you back it up, I'll at least listen.  I just love the idea of a giant scary demon guarding me. Anyway, thanks again guys. |

Hello karosa,
The second one is better, i personaly use the 100percent more mana for the pet. When I lifetap, its nice to see "Toxins recieves 1103 mana from lifetap. Jhuuron recieves 1103 mana from lifetap." The felguard has a NICE area cleave every 6 secs that munchies through mana fast. If you have the opportunity, grab the black book from BWL. Really nice damage then. I have seen crits of 1200 to 1300 with black book active.
Also CoW is super buffed in xpac. I sometimes use it on the super fast mobs and it reduces thier damage down to nothing. Im even considering putting 2 pts in improved CoW to help out with raids. Who doesnt want 100 plus damage removed from a mobs attacks.

| Thanks for the info so far Toxic, but...realistically, the best I'll be doing for gear is blue loot from 5-mans by the new year. |

Um Karosa you need to modify your statement a little. You will be in Xpac greens for a long time. ONLY reason im not in them is cuz of set bonuses. If I didnt have the felheart for the 5 piece bonus i would be in greens right now. The greens are just insane at the moment. Your talking lvl 58 green chest pieces cloth with 30+ stamina 20+intellectu with 20+damage on them. I had a blue already from an instnace that replaced my epic dagger from AQ20. That is how good the minor loot in the expansion is.

| I was making that statement in response to the "if you can, grab the BWL Black Book" because...realistically...its not going to happen I'll probably just end up grabbing the Scholo offhand or something similar by the new year. Once the Xpac hits, I'll be running through there grabbing whatever I can get, but...till then...I'll level up towards 60 and grab some (relatively) easy loot. |
