Cloak: Since the buff to haste in 3.1, haste is now better than agility for all specs (?)

Nice thread overall, but I think regardless that enchants are "obvious" you should still include which enchants are suggested for each slot, since not everyone knows which enchants are the best for their gear.

I am not sure if this is allowed at the moment, but seeing that there is already 300 odd worldwide kills on yogg-saron, I would like to ask for this particular fight, is there any advantage to spawning an extra guardian right off the bat in phase 1. The reasoning to this for my guild while learning phase 1 is to speed up the pace and avoid the last wave spawn which comes in a pair of guardians. But we are not totally sure if it really works out like that.

I managed to throw up 7773 dps on XT-002 this week as 51/2/18

Wow Web Stats

Rotation was IT/PS/DS/HS/HS/DS/HS/HS/HS/Pestilence/RP replacing IT/PS with Pestilence since im using the Pestilence glyph. Also dump RP on DCs w/e runes are on CD, I try to maintain 25 RP to contribute to the Death Strike glyph.

Hi this is my first post here on the EJ forums and I would just want to say thank you for all the help this forums have given me so far!

OK back to subject, I've managed to get my hands on Vulmir from Thorim (178 dps mace) and for offhand I have the Stonerender (178dps 1.6speed) and Bloodcrush Cudgel (163dps 1.5speed). My question for you is which of the offhands should I use?

But looking at this thread, I haven't played any build related to demonology in awhile, only affliction before 3.1

My questions are:
What's a specific rotation, as I see in your main post you only go into incinerates, DoTs, and soul fire, but where does the conflagarate play in this rotation ?
Also as I'm relatively new to this spec, my guess is the pet you would use is an imp for raids.

If you would like I would like some advice on any gear advances, here is a link to my armory:
The World of Warcraft Armory

As of right now I am really confused with the whole 3.1 patch up to now I've been using the affliction build to progress into Ulduar with my old guild, but it seems I am not putting out the maximum amount of DPS I could be.

Relatively I know these are pretty dumb questions, but wouldn't hurt to answer them.

Thanks in advance to any advice given about my gear or my questions answered.

I think right now to pull affliction off well and stay towards the top of the meters you really need to get some nice ulduar upgrades including the two piece t8 bonus to make the spec effective. At first I did very well with 0-40-31 until the nerf bat for conflag. The second I got my two piece bonus and sash of ancient power and the scale of fates trinket, I switched immediately over to affliction where I have been able to rip the meters on most fights. Affliction will only scale better and better with gear so give it some time. For the time being there are definately some nice hybrid specs you can work with and can look up in the simcraft 3.1 warlock thread that "Zakalwe" posted. Once you've accomplished maintaing some decent ulduar gear and a two piece tier 8 bonus thats when you should be able to get affliction to shine again. Hope this helps.

I've been seeing a lot of locks on my realm with conflag spec, now I know that I've already asked whether conflag spec is better than Felguard, and I was told that it wasn't, but people are saying that in Ulduar which is not pet friendly at all, it's easier to keep an imp alive than a Felguard. That being the case would it be worthwhile to go conflag over felguard as both specs require the buffs from the pet.

I don't think there is a pure 'best stats' method - hence what this discussion is entirely about...

This plz.

Hello everyone. I've read this whole thread in regards to making my dps a bit better. I've always been Unholy since I made this DK, also have been using the cookie-cutter build and so far and my DPS has been around 4-4.5k on a good day. I was just wondering what you more experienced Unholy DKs think about this build.

Figured more raw damage from Necrosis, might over shadow the 30% chance Blood-Caked Blades has.
