anyone doing warlocks?

Best thing about Affliction is that if you work it right, everything in a trash pack will die simultaneously, even without AOE. It's most amusing (but perhaps I should get out more).

I've been leaning on the felguards more often lately without a good reason for it ... but usually I'll run instances with two locks specced Afflic, and one specced Demo/Ruin. They share a Corruption/Curse macro, then the Demo locks casts Immolate while the other two are casting UA, and finally the Demo lock spams Shadowbolt while the others do Haunt/drain. This gives me an improved imp and felhunter for +sta/+int buffs, and the felguard gives +spell on crit and the occasional stun. The configuration changes for different situations ... like, I always run three felguards against Loken, whom I want to burst down as quickly as possible before the priest's mana pool is exhausted. I prefer doing Slaves to Saronite as three Afflic locks for running + dotting, but it's not really necessary, just better, and I'm not going to bother changing spec just for a daily.

Since the Midsummer event reminded me of it, I've been PvPing a bit more, and wish I could triple-spec for Destro, to get Chaos Bolt. Someday ...

I love affliction, Im sure FGs are awesome, and yes destro does good burst... but for leveling fast nothing beats Afflic.

Keeping in mind the fastest person to level 70-80 was an affliction lock (with a pocket healer) - I'm running 4x affliction locks right now, and I basically have that same advantage. I have been running all instances with just the 4 locks, no healer.. and its been just ez mode. With 4 Voids out I can dot so many mobs that siphon life starts healing for 30% health per tick.

More mobs = more dots = more self healing = more dots. Endless loop.. its awesome. The trick is going to be finding good spots with dynamic respawns.

I have a 5 group of locs all spec'd affliction at level 68, and I have to say they are way op atm for questing affliction is just insane. All I have to do is cast corruption x5 ( wich heals me as well ) and run to the next mob, if the mob is a bit meaner I simply start with a haunt x5. Mobs rarely last 1 corruption. It was simply ammazing to get level 66-68 in borean tundra killing rhinos. I think I still have bags of rhino meat left

Ok, i'm giving afliction another try and I'm having trouble with unstable affliction.

/castsequence reset=target/8 curse of agony,corruption, Immolate, Unstable Affliction, Haunt, life tap,drain life, drain life

simple enough macro yet in this sequence Unstable Affliction is never applied, it casts but doesn't do anything.
recount never shows it in the list.
I can cast Unstable Affliction stand alone and I see it doing damage and then it's in the recount display.

The second problem I've see is that you can't Haunt everything and you can life drain everything.

Im using Demo,with 20 pts in affliction.
I just send in Felguardsx5 put on 5xCorruption and Drain Life
If trash is a little stubborn CoE and Drain Soul.
For bosses I dump all my affliction spells on send in the FG and Health Funnel,them to keep them up.

I don't understand these. Could you post a video or something? I mean, unless you're playing on a retarded private server, this makes zero sense.

I posted the same question in the WoW warlock forums and apparently they now have it so that you can't cast both Immolate and Unstable Affliction on a target.
what a major nerf.

as for the life drain, it was a typo, I meant to say you can't haunt or life drain some targets like anything mechanical.
I was pointing out that a macro that starts with haunt will fail misserably if you are being attacked by a robots. I had a tragic robot incident when my macro started with haunt.

so I have my macro changed a litte to something like
/castrandom haunt,
/castsequence x,y,z

so that if haunt can't be cast it still does something.
I was also toying with
/cast [mod] haunt
/castsequence x,y,z

I'm not sure which one I like better

[Multibocks]

that castrandom is bad, you need more commas or haunt will be refreshed too soon.

[Catamer]

you can't over haunt, only one haunt at a time.
I did find I could haunt a robot, I just couldn't life drain it.

I'm not feeling the love for my priest.
I've never seen anything like it. she is such an aggro magnet.
I can attack a group and they attack the priest when she hasn't even cast a single heal yet.

she either oom or dead

Ya but arent you wasting mana and dps by recasting a spell that is already going??
