29 warlock

[Nakedplumber]

So here is my 29 lock chardev, give me feedback on gear, profs, talents and glyphs, thanks! Wish me luck lvling, you know how fun it is



29 Lock



Oh and how are locks in this bracket? is it like in 19s or they get better?

Locks are great CC utility. Damage-wise, the popular spec is affliction, and the damage itself is poor. UA offers dispel protection, but the spec itself isn't really a major source of damage unless you dot everything you can (which isn't a good strat). I haven't tried Destro, but it seems like it can burst when it needs to.



Your Chardev looks good, except I would drop skinning for engineering myself. You really need the + 20 spell pen to cloak as a warlock, and engineering cloak is the only way to get it on a new character now. If you don't use spell pen, a lot of your fears are going to get resisted, and a portion of the damage from each one of your spells will get resisted. Even with Rune of Perfection, you're looking at players with 29 resistance to shadow spells (undead) and 10 spell pen does not negate 29 resistance. Even just the +20 from the cloak enchant is not enough imo. I would get the cloak enchant and the trinket tbh.

9sta to wrists

ab boots w/ 7sta

firebelcher

nesingwary's sash

100hp to chest



here's what i came up with: http://chardev.org/?profile=224156

That chardev has 12 stam to wrists btw.

 

[Dorigon]

ah good catch

 

[Fcftw]

and your chardev has +32 armor on pants! /gasp



and I would think Band of the Arcanist would be better than the Dread Pirate Ring in every way, it has more stam the same amount of hit and you just lose crit for more intellect/spellpower

Looking good - one question though; Are you able to play it ever? I mean, can you get queue pops? Or do you just do xp off, enter a bg and /afk before it ends (but still gain the tiny tad of xp every match)

Well us servers have 29 pops scheduled nights only.

29s get pops in US but I believe they don't in EU (not sure which you are)

Seriously, all you will find yourself doing is dotting and spam fearing on a 29 Lock, which major emphasis on the spam and you just get eaten up by Rogues. In my opinion they are played most effectively on Defense.
