Just a quick question

Veteran
For a 20 vet lock. Should I focus on maxing out my I’ll or going for better stats on gear?
 
I think he means he will now focus on maxing out stats since ilvl dont work
 
not sure what you mean by I'll, mustve been a typo if you're on your phone or something

the two things I can infer you're talking about are either intellect, or ilvl

ilvl templates have been gone since the BFA prepatch, so there is no need to worry about it as it doesn't directly boost your stats. Some of the BiS pieces for twinks DO have high ilvl (green lens, parachute cloak, etc.) However, this is just a coincidence and the high ilvl from these pieces is not a direct stat increase.

a good stat priority could depend on your spec, I am not very well versed in warlock, maybe @Donor, @hom or @Sketchbag can give some better warlock specific insight. These are the only active vet warlocks I can think of as of writing this.

intellect > vers > haste > crit is what I see most locks using (aurora suffixed pieces)
intellect > vers > crit > haste might be better for a spec like destro?

it can also depend on your playstyle, are you going for high damage dealing warlock? or a buff fear bot utility monster?
 
Oooo a shoutout. Thanks @ohti

It depends on what spec you want to play and how you want to play it.

Destro
Focusing on chaos bolt damage you want to max intellect and balance crit and versatility.
You can go a versa heavy build with added stamina for a fear bot that can also deal some nasty damage while tanking a lot.

Affliction/Demonology
I feel like both of these specs play a lot more fluidly when you have around 15% haste.
If you have below this haste I feel like they play clunky.
Haste and versa focused would be ideal. Get 15% haste and then go for vers heavy gear. I do feel like these value haste over versatility until 15% as it not only allows you to build your resources but it also increases the healing per second from drain life which is very strong at this level.

You could just go for pure intellect but with no mobility you'll find yourself struggling to get away from levellers unless you 1 shot them.
 
Thank for this. Anyone have some armoury links for 2bis items. I’m not going to be grinding out an epic foamsplitter and uncles one comes on the AH I WANT THE 2nd best item :)
