need help with Warlock specs with a Pally main

[geoffdavison]

So i mostly multi box when i'm bored or not running instances..

Just about got a duo of 'locks up to 60 .. my plan is to use them as supplemental damage to fill up groups .. right now my groups that i run with are short DPS so I was looking for a way to add more ..

so any suggestions for good builds ? thanks for the help

I recommend this talent spec:

Believe me, I've tried the lot and settled on this for minimal fiddliness vs maximum damage. Send in the felguards and incinerate spam on trash or just go for Rain of Fire while putting the guards on a new target as the old one dies. If you go single target for trash, put Immolate/Corruption on before nuking Incinerate. On bosses have one of them do Curse of Agony, another do Curse of Elements before starting Immolate/Corruption. Then Incinerate nuke.

Just make sure Demonic Empowerment is on every macro and send the fuckers in.

Edit - obviously this talent spec applies at 80 but get to the Felguards first, maximise your fire damage as you head to 80 and WOOOOOSH....

I'd go Meta/Ruin. ezmode with sending in felguard, blow meta whenever its on refresh, and spam shadowbolts.

This might not quite matter for you right now, but if you decide to run them as a team (I wrote this whole thing before I really understood what you were asking for, but figure I'll leave it as an endorsement :) ) ...

I run three locks behind a prot pally and they rock! I've let things get a little complicated, but my setup does the trick. Two locks are heavy Affliction spec, down to UA. One of them has points in Curse of Exhaustion and Improved Felhunter, while the other is specced for improved Curse of the Elements. The third lock is specced 21 points into Destro, down to Ruin, with the rest in Demonology through to the Felguard.

I've played these specs since 62 (75 now) and this combo has worked extremely well for me. The destro/demo lock contributes a lot of heavy direct damage for tank-n-spanks, as well as providing a quicker shadowbolt for knocking down Naga Distillers, Chaotic Rifts, etc. The afflic locks do well with trash clearing (crits on Seed of Corruption, and Dark Pact to keep charging forward), and some of the bastardly bosses who keep you moving around, like Keristrasza and Blackheart.

The Felguard's performance has been pretty impressive so far, by the way. I expect I would have a lot more trouble on some bosses if I did this, but it's very tempting to spec for three Felguards and Metamorphosis. Could be much fun! The thing that really keeps me from bothering with it is, the pets would then be so important that I'd have to incorporate Health Funnel to keep them going, and I'd rather not worry about that. I've run out of keys on my G15 as it is.

If I was running 3 locks behind my pally, I'd spec all three Meta/Ruin. I'm not sure the diversification of specs is worth the loss in efficiency. Maxxing an affy lock requires very timely dot refreshes. That's hard to do while you're mashing your shadowbolt button on the meta/ruin lock. Finally, the beauty of the felguard is the constant, low-micro "dot" that it provides. Just sic him on your target while your pally's taunting and he'll never pull aggro and yet be a constant stream of DPS. Top that off with three locks pounding shadowbolts and stuff will drop in a hurry.
