I typically enjoyed playing destro lock in the later expansions of retail (WotLK-Present). I understand that Affliction is probably higher DPS when played properly, but it also requires an attention span... which I do not have. I like destro because it seems more direct and simple but always still had great DPS when done correctly.
Is destro viable for end game vanilla raiding here on primal? It doesn't matter cause I'm going to do it anyways. I still would like to know what yall think?
I transfered my lock from retail. So I have a level 60 with no spec/skills. I slapped this spec together this morning. Will probably go with something similar to this. (Last point is in conflagerate).
I'm interested what other locks here think. What would you change and why?

Re: Destro viable for Vanilla endgame on WotLK client?
Im on the other side of the world right now from my home computer, but in short:
No, 34/1/16 is just better. I also am not sure of what you mean by attention span, as you are essentially doing the same thing in both specs.
You can use destro for pvp or an imp off-spec for raids, but you would really need to move points around (although thats true for pve too - 11 demo with no SL or Fel Synergy!?).
Good luck

I guess vanilla has less spells than retail. I tried going back to affliction once a couple years back and I had a hard time keeping track of 5 or more dots on several different mobs. Destro seemed more straight forward to me.
I'm going to try it this evening.

Curse, corruption, and immolate.

Unstable affliction eventually... meh... I won't be raiding for awhile. I have plenty of time to fool around
Re: Destro viable for Vanilla endgame on WotLK client?
Just got home and realized that I don't even have a "filler" spell (incinerate)... guess I WILL be going affliction

Re: Destro viable for Vanilla endgame on WotLK client?
If it makes you feel better, I occasionally drop into destro/pvp spec in raids for imp buff and conflag has started hitting really f'n hard. 120% coefficient (x1.15) vs SBs 105% in affli means that a crit conflag off a trinketed Immolate is sexy.
You can check my off spec in the armory but its not optimal for pve (or pvp for that matter)
