Warlock discussion

Greetings, I have a question regarding pets. According to the EJ affi thread the priority on pets goes: Infernal > Dommgaurd > Felpup > Succubus > Imp > Void.
I was wondering if this remains the same to this current date with the current gear and talents. Some people have told me that for standard pet succubus with 2 points in demonic power(tho I see no players using it, so I guess it's false) is superior to felpup with the 2 points in imp felhunter.
Aside from that using infernal on the last minute of a fight is the best, as well as doomgaurd every single time the CD is up, correct?
Thank you for your answers in advance.

I don't play affliction and I haven't been keeping up with EJ or anything else considering theorycrafting it..

But what I remember is that doomguard got heavily nerfed after Ulduar making it worse than your normal pets. To my knowledge this is still the case especially after they buffed felhunter for affliction.

I have no idea about infernal to be honest. If recent info in EJ says it's better, then it probably is.

@ Diivil

i was wondering what form of simulation do use to asses gear upgrades etc?

I have been using RAWR just to asses raw stat upgrades but as im sure your aware RAWR has not functioned as a good dps gauge for warlocks for ages.

ty in advance

Hello,

I'll be wiping on Lich King hc mode very soon and i was wondering.
What spec should i be running? We'll be running with one or two warlocks.
Also the infernal at the end is that to help out aoe'ing the vile spirits?
And for the portal positioning against valkyr's did you choose a specific spot or doesn't it really matter?

thanks in advance,

Hi,

Is there a haste cap in demono spec ?

Thanks

[Ashgoz]

Yes there is a cap, but it's so high that you can't reach it even if you gem pure haste

Im not a warlock, but i saw the LK hm video and have a question.

Why were all the warlocks using hellfire , before the boss fight started?

To stack up the buff from the Muradin's Spyglass, like pre-potting.

So I have a question, I started playing my warlock in Kara. He was my first main and I'm really trying to play him to the best of my ability. In BC locks could destroy meters, but in wrath its been a lot harder. They buffed us with 3.3 trying to get us up there on the meters, but lately it still seems like i can't compete with good mages and most of the other dps. I'm curious as to what your afflictions locks put out and if you have any tips. We are currently working on HM LK and I'd really like to get my dps up.

P1 = Tank and Spank, basic single target skill priority.

Raging Spirit phases = keep dots rolling on all spirits you can, but make sure you don't reapply your shit if the targets are low on hp.

P2 = Stand at a ledge and dps the boss, use seed of corruption on valkyrs. Having some nice name plate addon is very nice for this as you don't want to seed on lk as it most likely has corr rolling on it. If you have targeting issues, just spam seed on the boss, It's not a massive THEORETICAL dps loss. (It could be a practical dps gain now that I think about it, dunno.)

(Raging spirit phase)

P3 = Don't life tap unless you move, cast as many dots as possible on remaining Raging spirits and LK himself. (if you use exploding spirit soaking tactic you can just keep rolling dots on the boss and nuke.)

You should also spam Seed in frostmourne room always you have a chance to do so. Shadow ward is a super cool ability, it makes your healers' job a little bit easier and it might save your ass some time.

You should also use death coils, health stones and shadow wards on infests if you don't have a priest shield to mitigate the damage. Dead dps is no dps. Play it safe.

Thanks for all the advice i was never sure about valks, whether to roll dots or seed. and ya sucks being the one targeted to not bubble for infest and force me to shadow ward, i want my gcd back =P.
