Original Post:

Sorry to jump into the middle of the discussion, but I'm curious. Has it been proven that using the affliction tree for a shadowbolt spam build is bad dps? Currently I'm spec'd fire for pvp, but for raids I use a not-so-common 38/0/23 build. Maybe I'm boring and not smart enough to utilize other specs to their full potential, but I enjoy being in charge of CoE, casting corruption, and then spamming shadowbolts. It's not very complicated. My gear is probably average pre-hyjal/BT gear, but I do what I can with crafted items and badge gear. At level 80, I'm really excited about putting enough points into the affliction tree to get 5/5 shadow mastery, and then putting the other points into the destruction tree to fill up 5/5 shadow and flame. I think this spec is going to work out really well, and will be similar to the pre-wotlk lock dps that we were used to before.
