I agree 100% with the post above. Also, Fel Intellect is a waste imo. 3 talent points for approx 450 mana for the imp? That's like only one more spell you could drain from him, and it would take a 3rd dark pact to get, so not that useful in combat. I actually put 2 points in imp CoA as I've done tons of experiments and find it is extremely useful to use CoA (especially in heroics and raids where fights will allow it to tick for 10+ sec every time). My preference is to go 17 points in destro, 4 in devestation and 2 in destructive reach. I like to be a max range with my SBolts and the occasional immolate - very important in range boss fights and to allow DoTs to tick longer before mobs get close when grinding.

Being a affliction lock myself, the build I use is this..

The imp. CoA is nice, but with the amount of other DOTs put on the target, since I usually find myself with more than 1 lock in groups/pvp/raids, I see no point in it whereas I can put those 2 points into something else. Imp. Imp, and Imp. fireblot are great, since it makes you have another DOT basically, plus the increase in blood pact. 1 point in Shadow Embrace, it only gives 1% damage increase against the target, but it gives another afflic effect, and the more afflic affects on the target the more your Drain Life, and Drain Mana spells drain. Instant Howl Of Terror is great.

But that is the build i use, and I find it great, but that is my opinion. Hope it helps..

Shadowburn gets you soulstones???

But it costs a soulstone O.o

remember hawkeye, noone takes shadow embrace for the physical damage reduction, we take it for the extra 5% it adds to drain life.....well at least I don't take it for the damage reduction.

Getting 15% mana back when the target dies when using drain soul is no waste.

Also, The points that I put into Imp. Imp, and Imp. Fireball are because I usually have my imp out when in groups/raids/pvp. More stamina for the party memebers is a great thing, and with the 1sec cast fireball my imp does, its like having another DOT on the target.

You skipped Shadow Embrace but you put 3 points into Fel Intellect :'(

Actually, it's not. Destruction is a good like for PvP and 5 mans, but for raids and grinding, Affliction is far superior. Whereas most Destruction builds require downtime after 2 or more mobs, and Affliction warlock can go on almost indefintely. Also, while you're blasting away at 1 target, I've cast my DoT spells on 2 to 3.



I would highly suggest you reexamine your talent line. It's either Destructive Reach or Intensity that that the 10% threat reducion. Demonology has no threat reduction unless you have Master Demonologist active with the imp out.



Right, except on fire-immune mobs and players with high fire resist, like fire magesor people who notice you use primarily fire spells and chug down a Fire Protection potion. I hate to see what happens when you encounter another Destruction lock with Nether Protection.



Shadowburn is a shadow damage spell, you realize that, correct? Also, do you have Shadowfury? You should be opening with Immolate, Curse of Agony, and Corruption, and then using Incinerate or Conflagaration when Immolate is about to wear off.



Where? In raids? Thanks to Bane and Improved Shadowbolt, the Shadowbolt is a good spell to cast on trash mobs because of the Shadow damage debuff. Also with Shadow Mastery, the Shadowbolt becomes a solid burst/DD spell for Affliction warlocks.
