Dots are very sexy, but I have been playing with the felguard. Honestly, I am going to have a very hard time giving him up. I am farming 64-65s non stop with him, at 62. I have zero downtime, works great in instances and saves my butt on things that are immune to fear. My DPS is about the same as a full affiction lock too, I just dont get the added benefit to soul siphon.

| I run non stop also with full affliction and dont have to worry about my demon running out of mana or healing it back to full hp. Soul siphon is nice its even better with multiple locks, the more affliction dots on the target the more your drain life/mana does 2% more for every corruption, curse, siphon life, unstable affliction, up to a max of 24% more dmg. |

When Meresitt, Elleni, Gimlen, and I were four manning the furnace. Both of us (demonolgy locks) where getting 400 plus ticks on life drains. I even spiked up to 516 per tick life drain. Talisman of Etheral Power was active and not sure what else was happening other than two curses, two corruptions, and our life drains a working. Big note was we were doing that kinda damage without being affliction locks. I have 44 pts in demonlogy with the rest in affliction for the little bonus.
Also at one time i tried using my imp instead of the felguard. He was firebolting mobs for 300 to 400 damage by himself. Meresitt has an insane wand that has 113 dps on it which he loves using now. Just an update from the land of the locks in beta.

I did switch talents to try a heavy affiliction build and a heavy destruction build. Affliction was nice but I didnt get the same damage as I did with the felguard. Destruction was just horrible imo. I didn't like it at all, Things died fast but mana was a huge problem. I did go back to having demon boy out and love it!
Some tips for the felguard.
Improve stamina and intel makes a big difference.
Demonic Knowledge is beyond wonderful
Demonic resilience doesnt seem to be working. It says it reduced damage taken to your demon by 15% but I couldnt really tell a difference.
I have 2/3 in mana feed and he never seems to run out of mana
Demonic Aegis is awesome (increases the healing and spell damage from the fel armor spell.) |

Heads up just tried a spec that was a little unique 14/11/23 Spec grade was a D-. Only good damage was from potential ruin crits. This spec has a real problem with mana conservation and bandage consumption.
I have since gone back to 44demo with rest in affliction. This spec has much better mana conservation, higher damage, and reduced bandage consumption. As well as allievating the healers concerns of healing me. |

| from a healer's perspective, I have noticed that when tox and mere run with the felguard, I have to heal them less. Unless they are getting a real beating from something I rarely have to throw more than a renew on them (if that) during a fight, but during last nights run, I did notice I was healing tox more than before (still not excessive but definately a noticeable difference from previous runs). |
