Upcoming Warlock Talents

So I've gone ahead and started researching some of the new talents for Warlocks. So far I've focused on Affliction because I'm interested in specing back to it, to see if they've really made improvements to it's damage output.

This is the affliction build I would use. No Mal because we're going for the best damage possible and destructive reach was moved down in the destruction tree, so it's hard to hit it before 70. I have 2 points in suppression, to move down the tree, but those 2 points can be put in improved drains if that's your preference.

I'm not on Beta, so this is purely speculation. This build may not even be possible anymore but it's what's up on the ptr. Talents change frequently so this is subject to change.


Level 70 build

Site You Should Know: Warlocks Den

My warlock is my baby, I just love her to death, regardless of the frustrations I feel when trying to pvp with her. She wasn't my first toon, in fact, I attempted to start as a priest, but quickly gave up as I was unable to solo at level 10 (everything was kicking my butt). Next, I leveled a mage, all the way up to level 40 before I gave up on her as well, got quite sick of drinking. I originally wanted to roll a Warlock when I first started playing Wow over two years ago, but a friend of mine, another girl, was already lockin it up and God forbid I copy after her.

After switching servers, I gave into my desire, and switched to the dark side. Maybe because deep down inside, I'm a sadistic witch, but I've always had the most fun and giggles while playing my lock. There's just something about fearing a mob, watching it run away, then throwing up CoR to make it run back, then throwing up CoA so it runs away again that provides endless hours of amusement.

However, I probably would of never made it past level 30 if it wasn't for the Warlock's Den. Still very much a newb, I used Thottbot for everything, but by the time it came for my succubus quest, I was quite confused. Persuing Google, I managed to come across the Den, which has guides for all the warlock quests, and even more helpful, they provide pictures.

After reaching 70, I learned how to gear up by reading the suggestions and guides by other members on their forums, and that neat fear trick also came from there. Now I'm a rather nasty lock for my gear and raiding level, over 1300 shadow damage, 25%+ crit, max spellhit, and destruction spec'd.

So if you have a Warlock, and you haven't already checked it out, head over to the Warlock's Den at http://wowmb.net/
