great thread mate keep up the good work!

Honestly, in my opinion, the spec you choose is dependent on what you want to do.

-= Instances =-
  • Demonology, i don't feel this is the way to go for instances. Sure your pets can tank/dps/cc better, but at the end your always going to pull aggro and your pets are always going to die every pull.
  • Affliction damage is too slow for instances, you can't drain tank because a couple of crits against you means your dead. Fear bombing has limited uses, it's really the only way you should be doing trash. It's risky.
  • Destruction is the only one left, you kill before you get kille
-= Questing =-
  • All talent trees are strong in levelling
  • Demonology is the slowest grind, not because you kill slow, but because it's the least mana efficient
  • Affliction is by far the most mana efficient and you'll get more kills per minute than any other spec and die least often. Drain tanking, dot + fear bombing = uber
  • Destruction, 1 shot kills, mana efficient, gets tricky when there are large groups of mobs (large groups being 4+)
-= PVP =-
  • I tried all 3 trees for pvp, hard to say which i think is best.
  • 1 vs 5(us) destruction is really good - Hellfire w/ stuns is really really evil
  • Lots vs 5(us) affliction is really good - I'd recommend this one for pvp, just for the mobility and the mass amounts of damage you can deal to a lot of ppl
  • 2 vs 5(us) demonology was really strong, the pets take care of 1 person while u deal with the other
-= Raids =-
not there yet, i'll tell u when i'm 70.
I'm pretty sure it'll be a Demo Sacrifice + Ruin build.
Because 5 imps are useless and they're basically the only pets you can safely bring to a raid.
