Warlock 3.3 Spec Guide.

[SoulShattered]

With 3.3 all the specs got changed in some way, so this guide will help you chose, or change your current raiding spec. Prior to patch 3.3 the only viable specs for dps were Deep destro and Afliction. Now all specs can pull good dps if played well.
The amount of haste rateing you should go for is approxmatly 650 for Destro and 670 Affli, without stones and 670 for Demon without a Spellstone, before going for crit.

Demonology specs.

Demonology is focused around the use of Demons. You use them to aid you in killing things.

noob guide.
i stoped reading after i saw you advise to spam shadow bolts altough you skilled molten core & decimation in your "deep demo" talent tree.
normally after life tap you start off with corruption or immolation followed by corruption becasue of the molten core talent.

If you knew about the resent changes lots of Demos dps comes from the spaming Soul Fires at the end. The decimation talent it to bump up the damage in the 'phrase'. The corruption ticks cause the proc. Becuase this isnt full Fel/Emberstorm I only put 2/3 points in. Constructive feedback is nice, put not leachers trolling. You also didnt say about the 3 Incinerate's when MC procs, shows how little you know. If you 'Stopped reading' you wouldnt of seen what I said next about the MC procs. Go troll somewhere else 'noob'.

Thanks forbthe feedback, is there any other things that you would like to be put in as macros or leveling specs?

[latruwski]

i don't call that deep destruction spec... if you wnt a full Raid spec get 14% hitrating (then you dont need surpression the affliction talent) and spec like this:
The World of Warcraft Armory

+ full raid spec in destruction instead of life tap glyph you could use incenerate glyph aswell... as it is your most used ability in destruction spec. But this depends on your balance of spirit, sp and haste... if you have shitloads of haste and sp then go for incenerate... otherwhise life tap is handy to get that extra sp boost.
