  • hey, can anyone tell me if veteran 20 destro locks are any good? considering rolling goblin for the rocket jump so i actually have an escape.
    they seem like they have on-demand burst which is pretty nice for a caster in this bracket. do they do enough damage to actually kill people? obviously they won't be as strong as the OP classes/specs, but that's okay.

    also looking to hear about veteran 20 ret paladins - if they do enough damage to actually kill people.

    thanks!
     
    Ret paladins are pretty good all around in the bracket. With crusader, they can pressure and heal pretty well.

    Destrolocks are good in large groups. That's about it.
     
    I was weary of retribution being good as well, but after playing around with it, the class is very effective, given you don't expect it to put out dps numbers like druids or monks. The strength of the ret pally lies in stacking crusader procs and timing your big hits with HOJ/racials. Ret's shine in combination with other classes, providing both support through high heals, and pressure when needed. You won't top dps charts, but a good ret is very scary.
     
    I was to excited to screenshot this.

    I dont remember the situation so im gonna explain it like it happened.

    I obtained wisdom from a certain player.

    The drenden bois were clashing mid.
    There stood a worthless opponent DPS and his sidekick Sir Pocket Heals.

    Popping tyrant and AGM I charged at them and MANAGED to spread 2 DoTs to both heals and DPS with Strike of the Hydra! Lowering both opponents armor and poisoning them for 30 seconds.

    I then switched to my trusty Sin Blade of strength amd procced a Sader. I went for a second proc on my BoA axe and it happened...BEWARE im most likely sure i had Zerker

    Then it happened....Sader Procced of the poison...

    Running 3 Saders and Zerk ..with only 3 seconds or less left on the prime Proc, I slashed my Templar verdict knocking the heals (exagerated maybe?) FOR 2k DEAD

    I've tried and tries to repeat that event..but alas..

    I had FULL strength glass cannon set
    Ill switch armory tomorrow

    Vet Ret Guide Inc
    Migjt rip off neons f2p guide BUT the rest is all me

    Completely untrue. If you enjoy playing it you'll be good enough to go 1v1 against just about anything but a geared and skilled 29 spriest/bmmonk (even 29 druids can be taken down with the trinket). Destro locks are very powerful and fun.

    Well this is from my experience facing them. I've even beaten many on occasion with my rogue, and if I incorporate my trinkets and kicks right, I just don't see their window. Now maybe if I rolled one, I might see through your perspective, but I have seen them do very well with a reliable healer helping out.

    Now with goblin racial, they have the upper hand.
