Warlock's in 4.

[katsuno]

Wat is the best spec in the new talents for a Warlock. Armory is broken so i couldn't inspect any warlock's in Paragon. And what is better for stats when you got the 1.2k haste, Crit or Mastery. Is thare also a need to regem the intelect gems, or is it still as good as SP?

[barbarosaxx]

hellow.as far as i know destro is the best atm.you will have to change all your gems to intellect since sp gems gone and intellect is now the base stat,spirit is no longer gives sp so you may change every spiriti gem to intellect too.about hit rating they removed susspresion from affliction and in the raids there will be not any hit buff from druids so you will have to gem hit or change some items.in theory you need 17% hit.personaly i have 14.5% and is ok maby you will need 17% when cataclysms comes.about reforge you will have to reforge every spirit/crit stat to mastery since mastery is increasing your fire damage.about glyphs i use glyph of imp,coflegrate,immolate and i think thats are the best atm.the rotation i use is :CoE,BoD,soulburn,soulfire,immolate,coflegrate,chaos bolt,incinerate.hopes this things helps you and i wana hear from Paragon if i missed something or said something wrong!

have fun

I have only tried affli in this patch and it really shines. I pulled 28k+ dps at saurfang and I even had my succubus bugged and it didn't attack the boss at all. I seriously doubt that destro is at the same level after searing pain got nerfed. (or rather fixed)

Mastery is generally better than crit, at least for affliction.

. Is thare also a need to regem the intelect gems, or is it still as good as SP?

Int is way better than what SP used to be

Well Drainsoul got "Hotfixednerfed" this week as well, so I'm not sure the performance level of affliction with that being said.

[Jubeto]

We had our raid after the hotfixes etc

[David]

Well you're Jubeto, so you don't count :/

[katsuno]

Jubeto, could you link your talent and glyphs than on a way, or should i just wacht till Blizzard finely fixed armory. The in game inspect is also bugged btw.

[katsuno]

And what is your rotation than becouse that is amazing dps.

[Jubeto]

Destruction seems to be way stronger than what I expected. It seems to dominate affliction on stand-still fights which don't involve high HP adds or a lot of AOE.
It definitely is a good choice to go with. However, the cataclysm boss fights' mechanics seem to favor affliction so you should consider practicing as affliction if you aren't very good at it yet.

Edit: I'm not sure if drain soul fix had hit live when we raided after all, did considerably less dps on last week's raid. The only fight where affli shined was LK and demo is probably better for that fight atm. I really hope affliction's damage output is better compared to other specs when cataclysm hits.

So Jubeto...

Ok, I know it's early and there will be a lots of fixes and balances until "rest of the world" reaches 85 and the end bosses.

Starting from 4.0.1 where affliction and destro pew pew pretty well... and demo is a little bit behind... why are you demo in the last video released by Paragon (talking about Nefarian video). And also you are 2nd total dmg on demo (that's nice)... how do you "feel" demo to be @ 85?

Actually this is not only for jubeto (also manni or diivil...but you were more "active" on this topic), and I may reformulate the question. Paragorn have been pawning boss after boss on PTR and you all had the chance to test all the locks specs... and even compare with the other classes.

How Balance is Demo vs. Destro vs. Affliction?
Where is Warlock vs. Other Clases?

*considering each class is played very well; interested in the result and not preferences of spec"
