Hi everyone ^^

I'm planning to join the 29 bracket on my 29 Destruction warlock im currently leveling.
And id like to know if anyone could link a 29 BiS Warlock ^^


Also, Is destruction a viable spec for 29's?

Thanks ^^
 
AB belt = bis (and probs the boots also due to bonus armor and minor speed on it - debatable cause of 2ndary stats on scarlet boots).

Also healingpower to gloves is bis (like it already was for drain life, harvest life and dark regeneration) and jade spirit for weapon (sunfire/soulfrost debatable vs spellpower) cause of chaos bolt for destro and greater stats to chest is bis enchant again due to every other being nerfed.

Don't forget that stats will change and you can get a pretty nice haste set too.

Obviously I am talking about WoD.

Actually, I doubt any of what you said is true, even in WoD for a destro lock. Fire power doesn't scale down, neither does Sunfire. Jade Spirit is garbo, so is healing power to gloves. Also, Destro gets Ember Tap in place of Drain Life, which doesn't scale with SP.

Do your homework.. fire power scales to 10 and sunfire changed to 38. Chaos bolt is shadow. Heavy boreans scale to 3 rest chest enchants scale to 3/4 vs greater stats which is 2.

Check the wod links, they are like that on the ptr.

Fire Power scales to 11 (just checked) and wasn't scaling last time I tested it. Neither was Shadow Power or Frost Power. Sunfire has scaled down to 38 fire/arcane since 5.4, so no real change there. However a weapon I had enchanted previously is showing 6 Fire/Arcane instead of 38, but when I just made a new one it was still at 38 fire/arcane.

However, this doesn't really mean much. Fire power is where most of a destro lock's damage comes from. Chaos bolt is nice, but it's not going to be your main nuke, or even the majority of your damage. Most of your damage will be coming from Immolate, Incinerate, and Conflagrate, with Ember Tap being used far more often than Chaos Bolt. It's so skewed towards Fire that the damage from Chaos Bolt you gain by using Jade Spirit or Healing Power is negligible at best.

Please do some testing in actual pvp situations before you start talking about things.

PS, still hitting for 1.1k chaos bolts with fire power.

You doubted all I said but not seeing that in your post now just backing up the fire spellpower stuff.

It wont be like you will never use chaos bolt, a good wlock will use all his skills and it uses shadow then it is pretty easy that spellpower is the best alround like it is on live for said skills earlier. You lose a little fire spellpower and gain alot on your chaos bolt which is the hardest hitting spell destro has.

But yes it is my personal preference for wod to let go of fire spellpower.

Incinerate and conflag critting for 750-950, not reliant on embers, nor having to get off 3 second casts. You will do significantly more damage with fire spells than with Chaos Bolt. Yes, you will cast Chaos Bolt. But again, Fire Spellpower still provides the biggest benefit.

Also, who really cares about bonus armor? Whohoo 3% physical dmg reduction, woot! Yeah, gives zero shits about that.
 

Question about the gloves.. would 7 intel / 7 stam/ 7 crit be better than 10 intel/ 3 stam / 5 haste? Because I am really leaning toward the intel/haste gloves I have, rather than keep going for the 777s. (could be 10/2/5 they are in my bank and I cant look while im writing this)

Oh, by the way.. fire power / arcane / shadow, spell power enchants are currently broken, providing no benefit. I don't know yet if this is going to be fixed, but it was not announced that these stats were to taken out of the game, so it has been submitted as a bug report. But as of now, straight spell power (gloves healing power) or greater healing seems like a better option until they fix the scaling and fire/arcane etc spell power issue.
