Any thoughts/foresight on how warlocks will do in WoD? Really enjoying destruction right now although I feel warlocks could use a slight mobility/survivability boost. Thats just me though, other opinions on locks in WoD are encouraged.

my thoughts on warlock.
all specs will be viable because the damage of talented drain life is going to be very comparable to incinerate.
destro - will have the highest burst as always due to the longer missile time on incinerate and being able to stack up some incinerates and conflagerates that all land in a very short period of time.
afliction - the dispel effect of unstable affliction is so underated in my opinion. as it keeps healers from dispelling your fears or they take a pretty large hit and silence. but heres the deal a affliction warlock that stacks both his dots then follows up with his drain life will do about the same damage of a destro warlock but without the burst. so this is still a highly valuable asset to have on a team.
demo - This will be the most mobile warlock spec and will also have the highest over all damage . thing is though that it will take a very long time to build up the ability to do the damage. demo warlocks will be very big in premades and will primarily play a dot role . putting doom and corruption on everyone for very high damage. and dropping hands of guldan during burst periods.
special notes a afliction warlock paired with a demo warlock will give the benefit o very high dots with the dispel protection.
2600 F2P Aff lock / RSham looking for Demo Lock (similar CR) for 3's, going for F2P R1 title, Pst!

Edit: Also Shadowfang looses to BoA mace? That top end man... I did some testing with Bronze Band of Force - Item - World of Warcraft and with the +1 damage it's not that much less than the argas ring lol
So i was looking through some of the bfd changes and i ran into this
Warlords of Draenor Alpha: Blackfathom Deeps Revamp - YouTube
What do you guys think? Will the regular bfd and quests remain? Or will this dungeon change entirely for this scenario
Or will it be sort of like rfc where it will be the dungeon an then the scenario version (Secrets of Ragefire)
Deathwing shall be rebornWhat do you guys think?
Lowbie gear is so awful looking these days.
I really don't see how you can end up with Mass better than SF while SF has better base damages and abilities are normalized but well we are in the f2p section![]()
This is today's numbers, since the tooltips for WoD are all funky. IDK if it directly relates to what you are talking about but i thought it was cool. I'd have to say the AP you would loose with the +3 int mace probably wouldn't be worth the 0.1 sec faster swing. That swing has a 24.9% chance to proc poison come WoD. (83% to hit * 30% chance to proc). Attack power gives an OK amount to your abilities but IDK... I'm sure we could narrow down the numbers for sure lol

Yeah but due to normalization any ability has better damages with SF than Mass, so SF is better even without more crit / more agi or procstop end is easily the biggest dmg increase but im guessing these calculations ignore crit, the sub agil passive and sf procs
add all those in and sf would probs come out on top

did you count with the shadowfang proc because that's pretty frequent.

Seems like a have to apologize thenI'll take that the best way possible lol. And you are correct, this is the level 20 section so it is possible you're 19 twink item isn't BiS. SF doesn't have better base damage, we aren't 19. However I didn't account for the proc, this was like 2 min math for Bend about something else. I just thought it was interesting how much base weapon damage affects your abilities, more so than any other stat. And as great as the proc may be I really doubt it's going to beat out daggers for an Ambush.

Yea but then you are waiting almost 3 seconds to swing with a 17% miss chance at 50% of the damage done. Seems no bueno. Who knows, it can all be figured out. Maybe I'll give it a go.I thought Ambush only calculated the extra damage for having a dagger for the mainhand. So DaggerMH/SwordOH was a viable combination for Sub.
