4 warlocks and a priest?

[Ughmahedhurtz]

I did 4x lock + priest to 70 on Magtheridon, though I couldn't really do instances unless I outgeared/outleveled the place. It's basically a balancing act between the DPS of your 3 full DPS locks, the DPS + health funnel aggro, the health funnel + priest heals on the pet and the amount of aggro your void can hold. Even with fade and soul shatter every cooldown, you have serious aggro problems when you get past your quest greens/blues and into decent gear.

Yes, I know we've all seen the pics of 80k HP voids tanking Sarth as an example of capability potential but really, if you had the gear for an 80k raid buffed void, the only content you couldn't faceroll would be raids anyway, so there isn't much point in setting silly expectations.

You might, in fact, be the one who makes heroics work with this combo but don't expect the path to be ezmode like pally+shams, dk+rets, or just about any other group with healer/tank/dpsX3. See previous comments about outgearing/outleveling the content.

Yeah....

Partial team deaths, has been the bane of my Warlock/Priest team.
Haven't done a whole lot yet, and don't have all of their toys either.

But in WSG, don't have much time to Rez the dead.

The ideal would be for them to all live, or maybe one toon to die maximum.
Or for them to all die at about the same time.
Down the road, they'll be able to hellfire to death across the team.
And in the event of a wipe, the priest will likely be one of the first to go.

I'm also going to be leveling my locks... would 4x demo really be worth it over destruction/affliction?

While leveling...
Pretty much anything will work.
Mobs die pretty easily and all.

Once you are maximum level and gearing up.
All three spec's are viable.

Affliction is probably the worst (for a boxer, maybe the best for a solo toon), in that mobs will likely die before the dots finish ticking, but you've spent the mana on say 3 casts per warlock.
Also, if you're going to be pvping on them, Affliction gives them time to heal.
But once you get to a certain spell power point, this will be a very fun spec.
Affliction has passive heals from Siphon Life and Haunt, which is quite nice.
Plus toys like the instant fear, or Unstable Affliction as Dot Protection, Curse of Exhaustion etc.

Demonology gets you Soul Link, which is increased survivability.
The Felguard is a very nice pet, the charge Interrupt is strong on round robin.
You get higher raw spell power then either of the other specs, Seed of Corruption is pretty strong with this spec.
The Demon Form with Immolation Aura can be pretty sick.

Destruction plays like a mage.
Immolate -- Conflagrate.
Chaos Bolt.
Shadowfury on round-robin for the stun can be nice.
This is probably the most straight forward spec to turn into a click macro.
And is also the least wasted mana, with stronger personal dps then the Demo Lock.

My locks will be Affliction.
But have not decided between Demonology or Destruction for the gearing up stage.
Both have merits and it will come down to which is more fun.
