UA/SL or Haunt

[Caios]

hey i was just wondering what is the best 70 afflock pvp spec when the talents go live.UA/SL or Haunt?

[Furo]

Well, for arena it will be UA/SL since without the SL absorbtion, locks are dead in no time. For BG Haunt will for sure be more fun, but once a warrior or rogue even looks at you, you are dead.

[bored059]

you can do haunt/sl if you wanted to.

Haunt/SL is impossible..

For pure PvP viability you'll want UA/SL..
for fun, just go Haunt/fel vit.

[frester]

Haunt/SL is impossible..

yes it is possible but not at 70.

This thread is about level 70 pvp, if you had bothered to read the OP.

Personally, I am leaning towards haunt. My resto shaman partner is pretty much a god, though.

no pandemic makes me cry unless its just because with your gear you have very little crit

[Fwip]

I'm wearing full dreadweave, because up until 3.0 crit is nearly completely worthless for an affliction warlock. I currently have 7.83% crit, so I don't think that point-for-point pandemic is worth it. Each point would give me about 2.5% increase in damage on corruption and UA, and I think that on the whole they don't make up a large enough portion of my damage to warrant taking points out of death's embrace or everlasting affliction. Come level 80, though, I'm definitely picking it up.

[Kheldar]

aye i agree with fwip, for my gear: http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sh...27Akir&n=Kheva i wouldnt take pandemic, would rather have points in eradication and death's embrace, but ofc at 80 will take it as more crit. to the op Ua/SL definate, basically variations of 44/17/0

[wearelegion83]

in 3.0 im going to stack crit and damage in gear. right now as aff im sitting at 25 percent(t6 and sunwell gear). since they modified how much base damage UA does( tooltip now says like 650 ish? and in 3.0 its about 1100?) and buffed corr damage in first tier when they do crit its gonna be for alot. im guessing with good gear .. probably 1500 to 2k crits.

my pandemics are doing over 1k in T4/T5 gear at 70... damage + crit is gonna be so much more fun for pvp now... hopefully the tailored holy damage embroidery wont have a stupid long internal cooldown... thats a lot of surprise damage from dots

Either something like this:
Instant HOT/Demonic Knowledge
http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?talent=Izx...VVMZbxszsgMV0c

or something like this:
UA/Master Demonologist
http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?talent=Izx...VVM0oZbxszsgMV

IMO Master Demonologist is still needed to survive in arenas at 80.

10% less damage done from spells with felhunter
and of course
10% less damage done from physical attacks with VW.

that + 15% less damage done from soul link.

Trust me. Master Demonologist will be worth it.

Ive tried Haunt/SL on the PTR and got my ass handed to me, unless, I sacced my vw for the bubble...other than that. dead.
