Looking for 39 lock advice <3

If anyone's played much 39 lock (affliction mainly) what would you go for in terms of secondaries? I want to stack vers for self heals, but haste or crit after that?
Thanks!

vers/haste only tbh

first set stack vers/stam and put coastal surge on your weap(try not to skimp on int) my rogue is the leather equivalent of what youre looking for here
second set go for a balanced 2/1 haste/vers ratio(don't skimp on int either, be a bit more liberal with your int than the first set, I recommend doing it through int/sp enchants)

So, you mean the first set as in the set that I start with and the second one being what I farm up after the second one?
Thanks heaps for the suggestions hey!
 
Yeah, haste is just better than crit for the reasons already covered.

Two sets (stam/vers and haste/vers) would be ideal. Personally, I haven't done so yet and have just tried to optimise my set around haste/vers and trying to maintain a good quantity of int.

In most situations (BG's etc) you're going to be wanting to get as much rot damage on the enemy team as quickly as possible. Haste is obviously going to help you do that more quickly and vers is simply more damage + survival.

A stam/vers set would be likely be more useful in duels/arenas, where additional survivability (however marginal) can make a yuge difference.

In BG's/Wargames, your positioning is ultimately much more important than tankiness. Since warlocks have zero real survival cooldowns, escape abilities, or oh shit distance creation (if you discount fear that's easily preventable and broken), you're pretty much dead if some DPS decide to switch to you in the middle of a fight, even with maximized stam/vers.

My boy vepr is the ultimate standard in warlock technology. His advice and guidance >>
 
last time i posted up about a char being a one stop shop for info (wasnt about locks specifically but example applies here as well) about locks some forum warriors came and trolled. weird how that doesnt apply for others.

side note, i agree vepr is a boss.
