I just respecced from Afflic and I miss Dark Pact. lol
I find myself drinking a lot more often with this specc when previously I would just alternate dark pact with life tap, hardly ever needing to stop to drink for mana.
How do Fg/Ember locks overcome this? Just life tap away?
Actually, I leveled with affliction, and I barely used Dark Pact.
Ofcourse, I had this whole high spellpower thing going on because I raided at level 70.. But I didn't have the Soul Siphon talent, so I doubt I would drain more then you would.
Make sure to drain every mob and have improved drain soul.
Even now I'm level 80, I still barely use Dark Pact.. Life Tap is actually so much better..
