locks - crit or inta

[hucklberry]

having just leveled a lock and discovered that they are one of the most fun underplayed classes at 20 i was wondering what to stack for maximum burst damage, crit or intalect for example Godfrey's Britches or Silk-Threaded Trousers any tips or comments would be much apreciated ty guys

It depends on which spec you are running. As Destro, a crit set is totally viable and with a good team may even be preferable to other gear sets. If you are running Demo or Aff I would suggest sticking with Stam/Int.

Ultimately, find the amount of SP, health, and crit you find to work for you the best. I have like 8 (?) different sets of gears I use for different occasions, so that of course is also something you can consider! However, when just pugging/messing around I've found an even stam/int set (which in full bis gear you still maintain ~12% crit) works perfectly for me.

Have fun man, glad you're enjoying warlock!

thanks for the quick reply yeah im destro atm and and i was wondering with bis inta gear what you hit in destro because it seems alright damage (around 250 max conflagrate crits) but maybe with looms it gets better? i like idea of lots of sets just means more work XD
also you lock guide is awsome helped me gear so much thank you for the effort

stam/int is the way to go.


in a serious fight(or arena) you will probably be the easiest person to pressure and get loads of ToT on. That Stamina and Int stacking is far more valuable than the RNG burst from Crit Stacking.

so im guessing mm and LFH are needs then /sigh best get farming

loom honor > MM

loom honor > MM

This. The resilience is huge! (and it has crit)

But yes, having a loom staff will up your dps immensely; it should be the first item that you get.

I always like rolling more int on spellcasters this patch, more spellpower plus little crit

 

[hucklberry]
