destr of affFollow

#1 Apr 06 2007 at 4:13 PM Rating: Decent
I have been wondering what does more dmg at lvl 70 destruction of affriction. i have my destruction tree filled and iam going to put my last 20 points into affriction so i will have an improves curse or angony and curroption. But if i was aaffriction i will get unstable affriction which is very strong, i dont know if you can use unsable affriction and seed of curriotion at the same time and i donw know the cool down time for those. Also I usually do PvE i like doing instances and very soon raids.

You can either have Corruption OR Seed of Corruption on a target, but you can NEVER HAVE BOTH on a target. There is no CoolDown on Unstable Affliction or Seed of Corruption, but Seed of Corruption takes like 900 mana to cast. You CAN have Unstable Affliction and Seed of Corruption on the same target.

What puts out more damage depends on your gear.

Affliction is sustained damage which Destruction is burst.

Affliction is spelt Affliction not affriction or aaffriction :).

if you want to keep your crit gear, then go destro as affliction locks hardly ever crit since most of the damage is over time.

Apples and Oranges, the question would need to be refined. give us a time frame, anything, just need to be a little more clear in what you are asking.

If the question were "In a 1 min 30 second window, what will do more dammage? Affliction or Destructo?" the awnser is clear, it is distructon.

If the question were "Durring the 15 min bossfight at the end of a instance, what dose more dammage Afflicion or Distruction?" the awnser is Affliction.

The kicker is they do dammage diffrently, Destructo locks do the dammage fast and then hit a mana bottleneck, they then tend to find a way to boost mana and start over again (maybe Lifetap/Bandaid). Affliction locks tend to spend time laying down DoT's with Tap&drain or Dark pact to keep dammage even. One advantage a Raider Affliction build has is reduced thret, not only though tallents but a lack of inconsistant spikes in dammmage allows a tank to hold aggro better.

Currently I belive the "Higest Dammage" raider build is UA/Bane based builds, focusing on keeping DoT's on the target. The Biggest dammage may not be the best build, If you hate the playstyle, then it is a bad build. One thing that makes large scale raids doable is that no one person has to carry the raid, as long as there are no gross oversights, a little slip up(or less than the Super most ideal build) is OK, heck sometimes even better!!!
