Hey people. After leveling a pally for the past eight months I decided to reroll a casting class. PURELY for the reason of reading the WoW lore in the game guide, I decided to reroll a warlock out of curiosity to see what the class is all about. I was a little nervous going from plate to cloth deeming it comparable to wrapping your car engine in your mother's linen. But it couldn't have turned out better. Looking at the forums, most people leveling their toons have the same questions I do .. so i am starting this blog as a day to day journal of my adventure from 1 - 70. It's going to be chock full of specs and research to help the up and coming locks out there. Keep the dark magic in your pants! - Jerszey (talk) 18:42, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

( You can delete this once you've read it :D; having played a warlock ever since I joined the first Beta, I'm wishing you best of luck with your blog. And be sure to ask around if you have any questions :) Dragola (talk) 18:48, 20 August 2008 (UTC))

heyyyyy fellow lockdowns !! ok i think the biggest ? i have on my mind .. and so do a lot of other locks is talent spec .. the ? come up .. what do i do once i start crushing past level 10 .. for the lock .. this is what i hear .. vs what i have experienced .. i have been told 1/2 the time .. go affliction your dot's will be crushing .. 1/2 the time ive been told go destro .. for those nuke crits .. then theres those demo heads that wanna play thier lock like a hunter ... but the problem is that most hunters are noobs .. not taking anything away from the hunters w real skill aka like my brother who runs battlegrounds all day w a 49 twinked to the gills hunter and owns like a bastard .. but for those of you who just point and click and send your pet in and then auto shot and say your prayers .. come on !! first off im not wiping the demo HYBRID spec away completely and come wotlk you get to turn into a demon yourself .. giving you a 360% armor increase .. itd be nice to see a lock w 10,000 armor hahhaheven if it does only last for 45 seconds .. but the simple truth is that the lock isnt a hunter ..he wears tissue paper armor and has a wand lol please locks do not go full demo .. now picking up key traits in the tree for use in a hybrid is perfectly valid .. the sl/sl [spirit link / siphon life] lock spec allows you to pass off a considerable amount of damage to your pet while simultaneously draining the life of your opponent and keeping your own jolly green .... giant =] ..... this is purely my opinion .. at the lower levels [1-40/45] you are going to experiencing a considerable amount of down time to replenish your smurf bar .. also you just dont really see the crit gear necessary to give you those face smacking crits everyone is talking about .. i have decent gear right now .. 4-5 blues and just hit level 34 today .. i do see crits in the high 300-low 400 for my shadow bolts ... shadow burn regularly tosses me 380-450 crits .. thats w a 8% spell crit .. my mana pool is around 2600 my health bar strides around 15-1600 .. for the lower levels i like my affliction spec much more .. my dots were stronger going right along w a stronger drain life .. nice for pvp at a lower level .. i eat mages 4 .. even 5 levels higher then myself .. and even today solo'd an 33 ally dwarf warrior and a 34 human pally .. fear spam .. thats all she wrote .. the stronger dot's allow you to take on more mobs or even more pvp opponents should the case call for it .. i used the succubus to seduce the warrior .. feared the pally .. dropped my dots and then life drain .. he bubbled and then i feared again sending him off .. finally nuking him as my succ held the warrior .. the thing i like about the affliction tree is the huge boost to dots .. they take care of a lot of the work for you .. im sure ill respec destro once i get to the low 40's but as of right now im going to stick to the 20/05/00 spec throwing 5 points into demo for the extra 15% health ... i have plenty of guildies that sweat by destro .. and dont get me wrong .. the spec is sickkkkk ... i just feel and bymy playstyle that affl tree is better for me while i have the low spell crit level
