Fucking ladyboys.
Still in the air on which racials unless someone says "omg i leveled both races to 70 and X clearly has an advantage"
Oh and Soul Leech is way more useful than I had expected. I really didn't have mana issues except on Morogrim, where I always had mana issues even as affliction. No shadow priest for locks plus people afraid to spot heal us when the murloc-tanking paladin is supposed to. /sigh Elemental shamans are so sexy though.

Only the strong can help the weak.
Yes and don't forget +10 to sexy.
you are such a weirdo
I'm not following. That would bring a 2 second cast down to 1.9 seconds. It's nowhere near the GCD with or without that one point.
Corruption starts at 2 seconds, one point in the talent is .1 seconds off, making it 1.9. I did look at the tier 5 set, and didn't see a cast time reducer there.
corruption is a 2s cast with no talents. It is an instant cast with 5/5 talents. Each talent point reduces the spell's casting time equally.
might be getting it confused with immolate and bane
Blah, instant, of course. I knew that, but I also knew that instant cast meant 1.5 second spammable, so that's where I got confused.

Hit is hugely important. Just one resist means a ton of damage lost. I find though that getting to 150-160 hit rating seems to get the job done rather than going all the way to the cap. I did like 90 shadow bolts or something and got only 1 or 2 resists.
After that, I've personally given up some crit for damage. Since we're Warlocks, base damage not only increases our shadow bolt damage, it also increases our DoT damage which works out to more damage total I think.
So, hit >>> dmg > crit (to a point)
Cannibalize works on Undead and Humanoids.
I'm with Riz. Orc chicks are sexy.
Troll chicks are better, but there are no Troll Warlocks.
For Horde Warlocks, I'd say Orc or *shudder*Blood Elf.
they are the best
Best part about being a caster is that unless you twink them out, you can run around naked from level 1-15.
15 levels of big orc booty, ladies and gentlemen.
Link you armory page please. Curious as to your spec. I'm a shadow destro lock, but I'm 31/2/28 (dark pact / SM / ruin).
I'm always looking for new / better specs as long as they aren't fire based (I like my shadow and all my gear is +shadow).
Yeah fuck fire. That's the caveat I'll give re: my spec though. It's probably not ideal but I decided to try putting the filler points in Cataclysm instead of Emberstorm to combat the mana inefficiency destro is supposed to have, and I skipped Conflag. I basically Immolate and then spam shadowbolts while staring at Omen. http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Emerald+Dream&n=Vreki
Ahh... that's how to do it. I was wondering where to put points past Imp. Immolate - I'm interested in that spec, but I don't want to get Conflag or Emberstorm.
Me likey shadow damage. I also haven't been deep in the Destruction tree since the trees were changed.
By the way, how is your mana even with Cataclysm? Do you have to chug mana pots often during the raid, or do you sac felhunter for mana regen? Or do you go with the succubus for damage?
So I'm working on getting the PvP blues ('cause I doubt I'll ever see enough Arena Points to get any of that stuff)
What should I get next? I'll have ~1700 honor by the end of today.
Those are pretty much the best wrist slot item you can get outside of raiding/arena gear.
You just have to stomach a lot of WSG games.
I was considering the blue pants for the +35 resilience bonus (And they're an upgrade :X)
Not sure if it's updated, but I got the gloves.
The bracers are pretty damn sweet. And they'll last you an incredibly long time even if you are raiding or doing Arenas, unless you're in a raiding guild that is already working its way through The Eye. Arena sets don't have bracers, you're supposed to wear the non-set epics from battlegrounds. And on the raiding side, Maiden drops a set of cloth bracers that are almost identical, but then no boss drops an upgrade for them until Al'ar.
As one of his guildmembers said about raiding with him: "Ever raid brings the chance of a complete DKP wipe for basically every member capable of screwing up at anything."
At 70 you can instance with that build but it's advisable to throw the points from Demo into Destro for something akin to my build, which you can find on the armory.
Fill in the Afflic tree first, of course.
Additionally, I'd suggest going for a Demo build until 62 when you get Fel Armor and drain tanking becomes incredible easysauce. Demo is very gear-independent. Don't bother trying to stay at full health and mana as healing the Felguard and Life Tapping to give him mana after fights won't let you do that. A good demo build to level with is http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=AVMbZ0gczIizceszxx0z (Make sure to get 5/5 Imp Corruption first).
Is 12 more spell damage a bigger dps boost over the half cast time one? Or does it make not much difference?
I'm Affliction spec, btw, I spend a good chunk of the raid shadowbolting, though.
