EU+US Any tips on my 39 lock?

Here's my armory:

I'm still working on getting dungeon gear for the last couple of slots. Going a haste/Vers build to start off with and will adjust stats once I get all the gear possible.

I'll be getting engineering and tailoring. Engy for bombs and green lens, and tailoring for nets.

I have 2 green lenses, one is haste/Vers I think and the other is haste/crit I think. I'm on my phone and can't remember, but it's something like that. Are the green lenses with secondaries grandfathered now? I've got a few more on a different server.

Any tips on quest gear or any other gear would be appreciated, thanks you guys!

Ps - my chaos bolts are 2.5 second casts before conflagrate. Wonder how much faster I can get them?

Also I'm a troll with drums....this oughta get interesting lol

Hmmm... Now that I think about it, a crit/Vers build may be better lol! I'll play around with it once I get done getting all the things

Chaos Bolt doesnt hit like it used to lower levels. Ive been seeing a lot more Affliction than Destro lately.

I tried AFF from 35-38 in bgs and was tickling people with my dots lol! I didn't have ele force or satyr neck enchant yet, and the majority of AFF's damage is gonna come from those procs I think. Also I only had heirlooms, so not the greatest gear either. Don't know yet, but I'll find out. Affliction was my "go to" for this bracket and it's what I'm used to.

I'll definitely play around with AFF and DEMO after I play destro for a little while. Right now, in the gear I have, chaos bolt hits for about 700. It's not a lot but mostly I'm doing it cuz I like the animation lol! I also like how destro plays and will be interesting to see what it can do to an FC with stacks.

And man I wish I had infernal at 39, that would be quite the CD in this bracket I think.

Yeah Satyr and EF tick very very often with Affliction spread. Its an awesome rot.

Tbh there's no need to only play the strongest spec. BGs are mostly levelers, any twink should be viable.

Green lenses aren't GFed at all, new ones will be exactly the same as what the old ones were changed into. I'm generally a bigger fan of haste/vers, but crit might have a place for destro with the Chaos Bolt interaction. I have no idea if CB damage is worth prioritizing now though.

Keep an eye out on the AH for level 37-39 greens (ilevel 41-44ish). You'll get some minor upgrades over a lot of dungeon items.

Ele Force/Hidden Satyr sound great since they proc off dots, but they actually have less overall value for spread dot specs. They're pure ST enchants, and on average (as long as someone's consistently attacking) they'll proc the same amount no matter how many chances to proc they have. They're still really good - especially Hidden Satyr since it has no competition as a dps enchant - but really no better for affliction than anyone else. I'm def going to take a hard look at spellpower to weapon if I decide to actually update my lock.

Affliction seemed good in a few games last night. I didn't get a chance to try deathbolt, looks like it could add some solid burst though - UA still does great ST damage. I spent half my time mindlessly padding capped on shards, and it was still my first or second damage source every game.

afflic is very strong at 19 stacking haste/vers in conjunction with ele force and satyr. Tbh afflic on it's own is pretty meh without those two enchants and I don't think either one of those chants scale very well with the introduction of the prepatch. Your best bet is to stack the hell out of vers and hope for the best.

So aff hits like a damn truck now that i have gear lol! Destro is super fun but is definitely not as strong as aff. Aff is swimming in shards, whereas destro is slow to build them. Immolate is doing most of my damage it looks like. Ele force and satyr are doing a significant part of my damage as well. This bracket is super fun!

I really like this bracket, very long queue times spoiled it. But EU activity has picked up a lot recently, 6 to 7 minute queues most days. Casters in general seem really strong at the moment, Warriors / Palas ( stupid bubble ) too.

If you want to look at another caster give a Boomie a go, fun play-style, and insane damage even with Enchanted Heirloom gear I don't play it particually well, and have seem ( for me at least ) crazy numbers.

Lastly take a look at some of the Warsong PvP vendors caster gear, the ring and cloak are both +7 Int, the cloak lacks secondary stats though ( only has +4 Versa ). The 2H Staff is good to, not sure if it's better than what you have though.

The queue times for me on US are anywhere from 5-10 mins.

I could give a boomkin a try, but i absolutely hate the new(ish) druid. I played druid in vanilla and tbc and loved it, but since they changed into the weird moon/sun thing I just dont like it. Dont know why, its all the same stuff, just different names lol!

And I checked out the pvp vendors and didnt see anything I liked, but that was an awesome tip! I'll have to keep those guys in mind when gearing all my other toons!

Also....holy crap the rot of Aff! 84k damage and 15k healing in a 17 minute WSG lol! Totally uncoordinated teams, though. I gotta get some 39 friends lol!

If you see Mental in a bg, give me a /wave!
