HI! I've never really played this bracket before, so looking for some quick tips..

1. Locks - how viable are they? Any spec more viable than others? I really wanna roll destro, anybody got experience with this?

2. Parachute cloak with pvp power, needed or not ?

3. Is a min of 10% haste a requirement for a destro at this lvl?

Thx in advance peeps..

This is what I'm working on atm :)
 
1) destro #1
2) not needed, another cloak with skinning works fine if you choose to go that route
3) no
 
get enchants asap
30 SP to dawnblade(until you get BoA)
100 life to robe,not 4 stats cuz squishy
put 15 SP on bracers
seal of argas 2nd ring/charged gear replace Stillwater signet

if you have 225 engineering might aswell get 16 pvp power
 
Thanks for the replies, guys..
Yea, Gonna test the 16 pvp pwr anyway..
Also bomb<3
Dunno if ill save my 30 sp chant for boa, i dont Got main on that server, a Friendly soul sponsored me there :)
 
You don't listen very well.. Use the enchants, i got more and i always can make more. I said i would fund a twink so i fund a twink. Go destro for great damage and bad mobility go demo for good damage and great mobility which makes demo >destro.
 
Locks are garbage TBH, they are like mages but with less utility, would not recommend.
When you don't know how to play, then yes they are garbage. Locks are so underrated and are stronger then that rogue in your sig. You know lock vs rogue 1v1 is actually fun because all a rogue could hope for is to have a lucky opener and if that fails you are just screwed and the lock will control you.

Mmkay, you know rogues have an interrupt, right?
 
Since your questions have already been answered, I would suggest trying demo with the parachute cloak. You can fly all the way across mid with flag it is rather fun.
 
You won't 1 shot 2,5k hp (and darkregeneration/healthstone). You won't be able to use your speed pots when 30% slowed :p So what are you gonna do now? got some more ideas? hehe :) I've met plenty of rogues and they all tried something but you just don't have the tools unless they are all crits which hardly happens before the gap making.

Demo struggles to put out the pressure needed in an intense fight. In this bracket, however, I can understand its damage sufficing against f2p's.

I believe you are wrong on that when seeing i do more dmg then sp in 24 vs 24 or even long fights. Also locks have a good amount of control. I believe people just underrate locks by alot cause people don't see them that often and don't know what they can do like the people above :p

Low level pvp is as much about burst as damage, an area in which demo sorely lacks. As long as you have burstier dps present, demo does fine.

Gnomish Net-o-Matic Projector - Item - World of Warcraft to keep you in place

and Gnomish Cloaking Device - Item - World of Warcraft

ofcourse..the former has a chance to backfire to screw you over completely and the latter has a long as f*** CD so it could be only used once a bg...

Also http://www.wowhead.com/item=4388#comments to slow you and catch up incase you try to kite with conflagate and speaking of discomb rays you can use em like I did in cata

I miss the old /use discombobulator ray /use anti venom macro...screwed up rogues on my hunter so many times...basically gave me a free out of jail card to kite instead of having to use scatter..now every moron gets post haste but im gettin offtopic

If you compare it to out of control mind blast yes. Also if you manage to control.. what does burst mean.. nothing. CC and snares are even more important. I believe out of experience that the burst from demo is not so bad as you make it, 800-1k sb crits are not bad (not using pvp power or sp sets) followed by hand of guldans 2 charges and dot applied followed by drain life. But here we have it again back to the underrating and lack of experience :)
