Hi! Im a 37 Lock and have some questions i would get some answers to.

1. At equip it says + spell damage and healing done by up to (lets say) 10, does it mean that my immolation,coruption,curse of agony will be improved with this? How about Swadowbolt and Searing pain?

2. How much will the damage gain with the +10 spell damage and healing?

3. When im playing at Warsong Gulsch to collect more Mark of Honor, i only get +3 every time when im done. Does it mean that i have to play 100 times to get my 300 Mark of Honor that i need to buy the item that i whant to buy?

4.My playing style is.... Attack with Pet,Immolation,coruption,curse of agony and fear, shadowbolt and then then wand on him, when he is almost dead i souldrain to gain little mana.
My playing style is quite simular to PvP. Should i speciolice at Affliction,Demonoligy or destruction?

Please answer, Peace! =)

Curse of Agony, 24 seconds. ( does most of its damage in the last 6 seconds )
Corruption, 18 seconds.
Immolate, 15 seconds.


Cast your dot's in the order I just put them in. If you cast COA last, it'll never do its full damage.

Spell damage improves ALL spells, but lifetapping spells will only be increased 50% ( 50 to damage, 50 to the healing it does to you )

You should go affliction, until at least level 40.

If you win a WSG, you get 3 marks, if you lose you get 1, Most of the rewards only cost 10-20 marks.

Also, Curse of agony & corruption have very little taunt, If you cast them first the mob should stay on your pet, cast immolate a few seconds later & immediately begin to Wand ( or drain life if you have fel concentration ) . Forget the fear & Shadow bolt, waste of mana at your level. Any mob your DoT's / wand / pet wont take down at your level is not in your most 'efficient' lvl range. hunt things 1-3 levels below you.

Good luck, have fun.

Yeah.. get yourself to forty man. Full affliction after forty is cake.. Imp out for a mana battery, Dark Pact to get mana back. You need a fair bit of +shadow damage.. but it's a fun playstyle.

Just Siphon Life, CoA, Fear, Corruption, Dark Pact, next target please. I've got 141 +shadow damage, and anything with less than 2k health is dead before it makes it back to me.




+spell damage increases damage done by all spells. Each spell has a different spell damage coefficient. That basically means that.. say you have a ring that gives +10 spell damage.

Corruption has a 92% Spell Damage Coefficient. So Corruption will be doing 9.2 more damage over it's full duration. CoA, however has 120%. So you'll do 12 more damage over it's full duration.


You can only have 100 of each mark at any one time, so buy items as ya go ;)


This is my spec, and it's amazing. I don't even use Immoliation unless I'm against an elite, then that's what I'll use to pull with. Just three dots, fear, Dark Pact.. repeat.

At level 41 I have 1600 heath, 2700 mana, +141 Shadow damage. It's a piece of cake.

I have looked around and seen that there is also "Increases damage done by Shadow spells and effects by up to 17"
What is "Effects"? Does my affliction spells gain +17 spell damage?

"Shadow Spells and Effects" Include any and all affliction spells. Dark Pact and Life tap are not offensive spells, but they still benefit from your +shadow damage. Effects just means non-damage dealing, heh.



Magical Spells and Effects, and Spell damage, are in essence the same. One is on Equip: Magical Spells and Effects, the other is on the plain old white stats list on your items.



Why the difference? I have no idea. Blizz is crazy like that.

I am lvl42 and have +shadow damage and +spell damage gear. I am full affliction and man o man, I love it. I find that the +shadow is better for affliction as that is the spells I cast most often. I also cast some fire spells from time to time and the +spell damage gear helps with those. I am currently at +168 shadow damage and it rocks. I outdamage most players I group with which can suck as I draw aggro a lot. Other than that, I would definitely recommend affliction all the way.
