The warlock preraid BIS
Well I suppose since there isn't one, I will write one. All subject to change when/if Bloodvine and d2 are released. This is for the sm/ruin spec. I'm currently running 32/0/19. Will get into that later.

The pearl necklace...made of real pearls. It's great, you'll use it for along time. Choker off Rag is the best you will do for well into aq.
Alts: Darkmoon, scholo or ud strat necks, but none really compete with the hit rating from the pearl.

Re: The warlock preraid BIS
I left it out because its such a rare drop. And I think that build is best with healer debuff.
Re: The warlock preraid BIS
I'm suprised you actually need heals with Syphon Life. Even as fresh 60 and vs 1 target it should restore around 170-190hp per tick. And your shadow bolt cast should be a bit over 200 mana. Most of time if you don't pay attention you will end up overhealing yourself.
Re: The warlock preraid BIS
Sure he can drain life but the more time spent hitting his big spells the better. Combine this with the healing debuff effecting your healers, + fights possibly with AoE damage "tapping + siphon" can be risky. I personally like the build and think it's a good foundation to work on until gear gets better.Amalizzy wrote:I'm suprised you actually need heals with Syphon Life.

Will be using this on my soon to be 60 (soon tm) warlock.
Re: The warlock preraid BIS
I'm pretty sure you don't know difference betwen drain life and syphon life
Please let me explain this to you,
Passive effect you can find it in tier 20 of affliction tree
and...
Channeling spell you learn from trainer..
Ok now we learned new spells, let's go to the next step.
Siphon Life is passive not channeling effect that heals you every time your "Corruption" does damage, and since you're Warlock and you're not affected with healer debuff it heals you for full amount. Last MC raid for example I was getting +200 heal for every corruption tick. Why is this important, with life tap you can transfer your life to mana with at least 1:1 ratio and for example your Shadow Bolt is just a bit above 200 mana per cast. Not to mention that Corruption is so nicely buffed in wotlk, also don't forget Nightfall proc, you will always want to have it up all the time, on as many targets as possible (more targets=more heals=more nighfall proc=more dps), With this and some consumables you shouldn't have any mana issues ever, therefore Dark Pact is not worth sacrificing 5% crit you can get from devastation.
Thank you.

Re: The warlock preraid BIS
Can't argue with Mr. Condescending 50g himself I guess. When you criticize somebody's talents setup you generally tell them why instead of going "I lol'd at your spec". Pretty BM right there.
But yes I do know the difference, notice how I said taking the time to and also mentioning riskiness rather than time for the other combination.
