Hi,

I would like to have some help about new stuff from Trial of crusade.

My actual stats are (w/felarmor) :
2570 SP
606 haste
232 crit
hit overcapped
Destruction 3/13/55

I have the tier 8.5 2P bonus (chest+legs), and an ulduar 25 haste gear (wavering calm, wyrm hunter, plentiful recovery).
I have a trophy of crusade and I don't know which piece buy

My trinkets are :
[Illustration of the Dragon Soul]
[Living Flame]
[Talisman of Volatile Power] (not equipped)


Can you give me some help about the best choice of T9 and trinkets set ? Can I broke the 2PT8 bonus ?
Is talisman better than living flame ?

Thank's

Here is a simple one. To quote the tooltip for Demonic Pact, "Demonic Pact increases spell power by 10% of your Spell Damage for 12 sec.". What is 10% of my "Spell Damage"? Is it my spell power or the damage I did with my last spell? The wording seems confusing.

It means your spellpower.

Hello, with new abundance of haste gear in the new patch, it would seem to me that being gcd cap while backdraft is up while become an issue that most 13/58, or 3/13/58 warlocks will have to deal with. My question is, at what haste rating with a backdraft proc does a warlock become gcd cap casting choas bolt or incinerate, assuming such standard raid buffs such as the moonkin +haste buff and the +haste buff from shaman totems?

Is there a point where haste becomes significantly less valuable for warlocks?


Additionally, a step by step guide for setting up simcraft specifically to load my character off the armory would be appreciated. I've figured out how to use rawr, which numbers seem oddly off especially for glyphs. I realize this topic has been gone over even on this page, but I still don't really understand what to do.

These 2 guides were useful for me to getting started with simcraft.

I am trying to make a choice on secondary specialization.

Brief history: I began gaming playing a magician in Everquest and have been playing for over 8 years. A while back, my son-in-law talked me into trying WoW. At first, I created an Alliance Mage and specialized in Frost.

It was at that time, after leveling to 70 that I found that a Mage in WoW was more like the class called Wizard in Everquest. The Wizard is the master of Fire and Frost spells and has a "snare" ability that allows him to solo, using the snare to restrict the enemy movement while casting very high direct damage spells from a distance.

I wasn't very happy with the play style of the WoW mage, as it was significantly different from the Magician I play in Everquest, in which rank in the top 25 on my server.

Enter Karoshi, the Horde Blood Elf Warlock. I found that by specializing in Demonology (0, 71, 0) I was able to field a monster of a companion with which I was able to solo my way to level 80, matching my method of play in Everquest. I can send in the pet and nuke from the cheap seats, rarely ever taking damage to myself. In Everquest, the play style is equally good whether soloing, grouping, or raiding.

While the Mage is like the Wizard in Everquest, I discovered that, depending on specialization, the Warlock can be like the EQ magician (nuke ability with pet tank (demonology)), the EQ Wizard (nuke ability (destruction) with the added benefit of a pet (not available in EQ)) or the EQ Necromancer and pet (DoT ability (affliction)).

Like I said, I basically soloed my way to level 80. Demonology was really beneficial in keeping me alive all this time. But I understand that destruction and affliction specializations are more desirable to a raid or dungeon group.

So, to get the long question simple again, I'm interested in hearing the pros and cons of Affliction vs. Destruction.

Thank you for the point in the right direction.

One thing I probably should have mentioned is that I am equipped with primarly quest reward and world drop armor, with a couple of decent items thrown in. I was told that one spec was better than the other for being so equipped and that the emphasis could change as I obtain stronger and better armor and weapons.

I'm leaning toward destruction, but recommendations are welcomed.

Could anyone inform me as to whether it is possible to incorporate a [target=target, noexists] component for this macro:
Basically I want the macro not to cast any spell over again that is already in the target. If someone could help me I'd appreciate it as I want something similar for Living Bomb on my mage as well.

You can check whether you have a target or not, and whether the target is hostile or not, but you cannot create a macro that makes decisions based on the existence or absence of buffs or debuffs on your target.
