BiS 80 pve lock

[Kipale]

Yo!



Is this BiS 80 lock for pve http://chardev.org/?profile=242209



Do you have idea what would be best spec?

 

[Falkor]

looks good but wouldnt bis gear vary by spec? in lk at least they had different weights for haste/crit/etc

i dont even remember the haste break points anymore =/

 

[Kipale]

Yeah indeed, i was reading all kind of lock dps guides etc, seems like affli is best single dps at 85 atm dunno about 80 then. As affli i should stack haste and mastery.

 

[Falkor]

stack haste until the highest break point you can, then reforge it into mastery (or crit, etc). break point for extra tick that is, after a break point theres no real need for it since you should already be have the gcd down



is demo still good for the raid buff? demo might be viable too...dont really know, havent played my lock since lk =/

 

[Oliks]

I would choose this: http://www.wowhead.com/item=50365

over Hourglass, just reforge some crit to mastery.

 

[Shermaan]

Don't stack mastery, stack haste to about 43%ish, thats when UA ticks an extra 2/3 times, (Can't remember), then get 17% hit.



EDIT: For Afflic anyway, Demo does good dps, destro is shit.

 

[Kipale]

Mastery = damage , why i shouldnt stack it ><



And is 43% that haste cap then?

 

[Shermaan]

Mastery = DoT damage, alot of your damage will come from haunt + shadowbolt, haste>mastery. And that isn't cap but it's the highest amount you can get where UA will retick.

 

[Kipale]

Oh yes. I will try demo too.

is destro really that bad at 80 for pve?

 

[Soberlolz]

at 85 it is Haste > Crit > mastery for reforging after hit cap ofc for affliction

 

[Falkor]

80s prolly different tho due to mastery scaling and having tons of haste/crit too. all about reaching your highest haste break point, then id go mastery with crit last just cuz it should be enough on your gear + raid buffs

 

[Oizzie]

Affliction is best for boss fights and Demo is best for AoE battles

Affliction is best for boss fights and Demo is best for AoE battles

and destro isnt good for anything?

Bumping thread as i finally decied to lvl my lock 80. http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/dunemaul/Kipalelol/advanced



Doing pve as demo, mastery stacking is best way to go, pet critting 37k shadow bites and 40k hand of guldan's in meta form. I also tried destro and affli in pve but they seems weaker. Only spec i tried in pvp was destro and burst is really insane but i have problems against ferals and rogues when i get silenced/ stunlocked im usually dead in few seconds.

 

[Kipale]

Played more destro pvp today, really funny. I just need pvp trinket for rogues..

This is my lock atm in pvp gear, normally using deathsilk boots and braces so dotn whine at th emissing gem just bought em, but messing around on some dummies in my pvp gear and gemming i can confirm ove rlike 10 min fights that destro is **** and with my current reforging demo is above afflcition and im doing around 12.5k as shadowbolt spec.
