[Warlock] 5.0.4 What talents will you take?

[Taros]

After reading the interesting Shaman thread I thought it would be cool to see what the Warlock community is doing. For PvP or PvE, what spec and what talents will you be choosing? For me...

Affliction PvP
Soul Leech
Shadowfury
Dark Bargain
Unbound Will
Grimoire of Supremecy... However if I'm going to duel someone, I'll swap this out for Grimoire of Service!

As for PvE I really haven't given much thought about that atm.

So how bout you?

[sinisterwyvern]

PvE raiding I would probably do something like this: http://mop.wowhead.com/mists-of-pand...lculator#o!L6|

I think for most fights that would be okay. I think Harvest Life for black oozes on Yor'Sahj. Dark Bargain for Zon'ozz on black phase. GoService I think would be nice on Spine, double pets on tendons, that burst when it's needed. GoSacrifice would actually be nice on Blackhorn, no worry about the pet switching between what you're attacking.

There's probably more than that but I completely lost my train of thought.

[Deedub]

Sacrifice is best for affliction anyway currently.

This is prolly gonna be my spec... For pve that is: http://mop.wowhead.com/mists-of-pand...or#o!I=|kbVoMa

PvP is gonna be trial and error

^ this imo.

Funny, I was going to post this exact question this morning just as PvE and as a multi-option poll.

For PvE I'm very torn between affliction and demo based on play in the beta. Excited about the possibilities of the new talents like dark bargain (standing out for Ultraxion, etc) and harvest life (green glowy beams of doom) and some of the other new talents, but I'm still wishy washy on my spec of choice.

If I had to commit right now (gun to my head and all) I'd say affliction I suppose with something like this for a layout:

PvP like said above, going to have to experiment more, but I would lean toward affliction with this layout:

Dragon Soul specs:

Affliction - http://mop.wowhead.com/mists-of-pand...or#o!IM|bkzsMb
Demonology - http://mop.wowhead.com/mists-of-pand...or#oxZI|czocMo

Why are some people taking Soul Link and Grimoire of Sacrifice together? Don't they kind of contradict each other?

Because you get 20% more health, if you sac a VW you get a last stand, and you regen 2% of your max health every 5 seconds.

[Grizelda]

Demonology consumes so much mana, I'm trying to decide what talents to keep me alive while I'm life tapping.

[darkminaz]

soul leech
shadowfury
soul link (with sacrifice i did read a bluepost staying you get a buff in hp or something..) if not sac pact.
burning rush (only spell i see use in pve for ds)
grim of sac <-- waiting since bc to kill my pets

and well affli probably, gona test out new demo with it since ill probably be forced to spec it for some bosses

wouldn't unbound will free you from a grip on spine?
I don't see much use for the speed increase from burning rush.

edit: burning rush + darflight + SB teleport = faster than Hussain bolt?

[darkminaz]

wow 1 player gets out of grip while 2 stay in, and in our raid you are in the grip for 1-2sec max (depends if some sleep or not xD)

buring rush can be used on hagara, blub boss, morchock (depends if its on a gcd or not), tentacle dude
sure it's not mutch but hey ds is "stand still spam some buttons and be bored"

@eiffeltower , darkflight doesnt stack with runspeed stuf as faar as i know, but sb teleport and burning rush schould work .. 200% runspeed wee ^^

1) I don't think so, since Every Man For Himself doesn't seem to work.
2) Unless your break team is slowmo, the 20% health is not worth it. Especially not post-nerf.
