Question about demonology warlocks

[Zongfoo]

My favorite veteran twink so far is my Demonology Warlock. I easily top the charts in a BG.

However, I have a weird feeling that stacking Haste the way I did may be dumb since most of the spells are instant.

Is it better to stack Crit? Take a look at my twink if you want:

All of the 29 demo locks I have seen stack vers enchants, I'm not sure if that is different at 20, but my guess is they count on demo form for damage. Not saying its better at all, just observing. Looks good though

You know, I never thought of stacking Vers. Makes me think now TY

It really depends on your play-style. I like multi-dotting when I play my warlocks, so I go haste for Affliction and Demonology. I would go Destruction for single target play-style but it isn't that great at the moment. But if you wanted to go for a more single target play-style, definitely go for versatility rather than haste.

Oh! So why is haste better for dotting? I am confused. Does it make the ticks faster?

Why not get hovel digger bands? More haste

You are absolute right... the actual embarrassing reason is my OCD just couldn't handle a green piece of gear.

I would definitely go with versa, my personal choice also

Ok, well my curiosity has gotten the better of me. I am gunna make a 2nd gear set for Versatility.

You get more ticks during the duration.

Ok cool. TY for explaining

And lower GCD (Global cooldown) = faster multi-dotting.

Hi there!

Stacking Haste does lower the GCD of your abilities up to 50% Haste.
Majority of Demo locks abilities are instant casts aside from Fear.

If Haste stacking does not feel appropriate to you, I recommend trying Versatility enchants and stacking intellect.

I would go full haste (see my 19 lock in sign..and I miss some).
Moar ticks = moar demonic fury = faster draining = more uptime in Demon form= moar awesomeness

Yup! Also go with Elemental Force (it proc's with DoT ticks!)
