Original Post:

Hey guys, my first post ever.

I was wondering if blizz ever read EJ. I mean, There are so many good ideas and constructive criticism here that i just wish i could link the whole topic on blizz forums.

Anyway, I´m a brazillian lock in pre-SwP gear who plays with an average of 400-500 ms latency and since the patch hit I'm still trying to find a good spec to me.

We went to SwP on wednesday (first kill on Brut). And after reading all the simulations and remarks ppl were posting here I specced affliction. My dps was terrible. I was struggling to reach the 1000 dps mark while having to keep an eye out for what was happening around me. These are the things that gimped my dps, in my opinion:

- Things get killed too fast (trash AND Bosses). I mean, kalec were at 30% health before 5th portal!
- We had 3 SP in the raid, so i´m pretty sure my dots were being dropped from the boss before it´s full duration.
- High Latency
- Messed up rotation since i didn´t have forte warlock working and was a little rusty for being spamming shadowbolts since I can remember.

Too bad i didn´t have recount data to back up my thoughts.

Then, on thursday I respecced to Felguard/Ruin to try Felmyst and I felt more confortable. My DPS both in raid and heroics was about 1400-1700 dps.

Guess I´ll try the good old 0/21/40 now.
