In need of warlock twink help!

Hello!

I was wondering for my warlock twink, which two proffesions i should get.

herbalism(lifeblood) skinning(crit chance) or mining(10sta)

Since lock dots crit i was thinking i should get herbalism and skinning.

but i want to hear your guys opinion on what i said(since im a newbie)





I have been also wondering on what i should do about engineering?

Should i get it? or no.

I have a helemet that has 20 shadow damage on it but i have no idea if i should stack regular spellpower or shadow dmg spellpower



So far my gear is

20 shadow dmg helmet

starfire (4sta 4intellect 3 spirit)/river pride(9sta4strength) (neck peices)

11 shadow dmg cape

20shadow dmg armor

boa staff with 30 spellpower

2 boa spellpower trinkets.

I was thinking of getting pvp boots/belt

I'm still confused on which 2 rings i should get along with gloves and bracers



If you guys have any suggestions please help me out :p. im new at this.





also side note.

I've been wondering can you put 15spellpower(ilvl35) on wrists

and 20spellpower(ilvl35) to gloves? or will there be a level requirement like 100hp.
 
lock dots crit with the pandemic talent... which you will need at least level 51 to get it.



Code:




herbalism is the best choice for gathering profession. and probably engeneering would be better than skinning or mining.
 
Engineering would be good. don't bother with the wrists because you can use 5/5 eagles or something and put 15 SP to that. the gloves you should get Resilient Hand Grips or Hotshot Pilot's Gloves. and +16 sp to them.
 
Probably yes. Even if you spec affliction you will be casting 3 dots at lvl 29: Curse of agony (shadow), Corruption (shadow) and Inmolate (Fire), so getting only shadow damage will only affect 2 of your 3 dots. Inmolate can get nice crits on the non-dot component of the spell.
 
alright. thanks so much for the tip.

If you guys have any 29 affliction warlocks i can look at and compare gear, that would be great!
 
Dismissed on destromath ill get a link in a sec

but switch the gloves.
 
is demonology better then affliction?

because the lock above is demo, and all of the locks i've seen are afflction
 
Depends on your playstyle. I like Demo for Soul Link and quicker seduction. But Affliction will do more damage, you just die quicker. Demo with my stam set allows me to actually kill some huntards. Otherwise Aff is just dot dot dot die.



I recommended collecting a pure shadow damage set too. It's fun to have a hp set and a serious dmg set and switch according to how the game is going. I used to be around 268 shadow damage with 1400hp, or 2100hp with 190 SP before the nerfs.



Here is my old lock: [char=us-Nathrezim]Minifear[/char]



And my newer one: [char=us-Nathrezim]Porktaco[/char]



Haven't played in a while though.
 
For rings, I'd look at either deadman's hand and the AB ring, or replace seal of argas (quest reward) for the deadman's hand when you're going straight SP. Also snag up a charged gear of the eagle/stam for a stam/demo set. Bracers: glowing magical bracers with +15 sp for sp set, then a 5/5 eagle with 12 stam for a stam/demo set. If you're playing horde make sure you look into doing the quest for
Code:
as well since it's BC enchantable and you can toss +150 hp on it and rock it out for a stam/demo set. I'd also suggest a truesight amulet for your neck, it gives you 11 hit rating which will be nice when you're spamming dots as aff.



I've been running a demo spec lately on my lock with basically the same gear I use for Aff. I don't have a ridiculous amount of hp, but I still maintain a fair amount of SP while having soul link. And since corruption is instant cast for everyone these days, I can still run around spamming dots and get nightfall procs with the glyph of corruption. I also spec'd over into the destro tree for reduced shadow bolt cast (been spamming that a lot) and molten skin 6% damage reduction.



It's been working very nicely. Especially with the new sacrifice for void walkers, which I have to say is very OP. I just kept popping that and then LB with my shield up. The shield with imp sacrafice in the demo tree absorbs roughly over 700 damage which is pretty amazing, and you don't lose your void either, so I just kept popping it in clinch situations whenever it was up. Toss that in with an AGM, which I am lacking, and you've got some retardedly high survivability.



Here's a link to my armory, a few pieces of gear need to be revamped as I haven't played my lock in awhile and when I came back post 3.1 I just haven't had the time.

Goodnight :DDD
 
*screams in excitement that a party is about to arise over another viable twink!*



oh wait...



*sighs*
 
I am using this with 1400 HP unbuffed and 188 spell since the twink nerfs and i don't think using full Affliction will get you anywhere unless you want to be a 100% dot-dot-die lock. I personally think most of the talents in Aff past the ones i am using aren't that amazing anyway. Only thing i've really missed was Grim Reach but i got used to not having it by now. I think the best professions are engineering (bomb stun and net) and herbalism for the heal (which works great together with the extra healing from demon armor). My setup allows you to kill hunters and ret palas (not the really really skilled ones though, but who can kill them anyway?). I am not saying any other spec is bad but this one works pretty nicely in battlegrounds.
 
Real skill involves playing with NO talents imo
 
There is no "best" for locks IMO. Dest is great if you like big hits and crits. Demo for survivabilty and CCing. Aff great for dot dot tab,dot dot tab. It just depends on your play style. After lots of pvping, I prefer to live longer which in my theory, allows you to do more damage and get more kills. Now most of my toons have more health and survivabilty ie., SURV hunter, Demo lock, blood DK, Ret pally with lots of hp, etc. My lock usually tops dps and deaths. I excel at both lol.
