Essay Topic:
New lock talents and skills rock, but I'm undecided on the top tier talents.
Discuss.
I'll post a build or two when I have some time!

Affliction is amazing now. d**n, they reworked the whole tree for some reason. I wonder how dots+sb spamming as affliction will compare to pure shadowbolt spamming destro build in pve.

Dunno but there's a post on the lock forum that works out that one round of dots can do about 12k or something. On top of shadowbolts. Nice! I especially like the new improved drain life - with all talents you can do massive drain lifes. +24% from one, +10% from shadow mastery, +13% from improved CoS... I'm sure I'm missing some here too  |

Personally i am aiming for a slightly tweaked SM/ruin build when the next patch hits. This build will have good dots, draining, all the aggro reducing and interruption talents. but instead of ruin i am taking Dark Pact, which i hope will be very nice in the new scaling version. www.wowhead.com/?talent-bc=AVMrVRfzqzZZxx0pralthough i am also tempted to go even deeper into affliction and try out a 46/5/0 build, but not sure i can live without the shadowbolts. |

So, here's the build that I think I'll use tomorrow when the patch goes live: www.wowhead.com/?talent-bc=IA0MiRftqtbo0xIt's pretty pvp-oriented, but I might shift few points around to get Malediction instead of, say, imp CoA. |

Actually it looks like the build i have settled on, except i won't put more than one point into Shadow embrace (for the +5% lifedrain), and that i prefer to have the points in Soul Siphon, and improved Lifetap. www.wowhead.com/?talent-bc=NAMriRfkqtbo0x |

I have Soul Siphon, you meant Improved Drain Soul. I wanted full Shadow Embrace just to see if it makes any difference, and since I really like having more than one point in suppression, I didn't have much choice with those two. My reasoning was that with the new Dark Pact I wont be life tapping as much, and the only part of Imp Drain Soul that really matters is the aggro reduction, but I won't be pveing that much anyway.

I'll post my build soon, although I got a reduced casting time for shadow bolt by habit and found it totally unuseful since I've gone mainly affliction. Doh!
Affliction rocks in pvp though! Watch people panic after you've applied corruption, coa and unstable affliction. Classic!

Just went affliction. My gear sucks.. really sucks.. and i'm around top dmg-dealer in BG's now.. it's completly insane how strong you are with something like 5 siphons+ dots+ drain life.. and then the instant howl of terror.. i did around 200.000 dmg in the same time i usually do 30-40.000 as destruction. i look forward to see this in arena..  |

No locks seem to love demonology?
I've so happy with it. Lots of extra damage while Felguard is alive (+5% felguard, +5% soullink, + more from felguards int and stam) and a felguard which also hits along nicely.. ..and I'm not that easy to beat down (some extra stamina and some damage reduction).
Often top of damage? Aye, me to. My dots hurt more with demonology specc (with a little afflic) then with pure affliction specc, although I do miss that unstable affliction...
In pve it's sometimes hard to keep my demon alive and useful. But in pvp I think the demonology works great.

Peyne - i loved to be demon.. never doubt that it's moer fun than affli i think.. destru is fun.. but rather complicated i think. Just trying out the other things to see if something suits me better.. was demon from the beginning  |
