pineapple07 The Voodoo Shuffle pineapple07 My main was an Affliction warlock but my old douche-bag guild made me go Destruction. I loved affliction because it was a challenge, you had to time your spells and curses just right to do awesome damage. Plus you have spells that make people explode. heart That's what my boyfriend said he liked about it xD It actually required thought and wasn't a faceroll like Destro. My guild made me switch to Destro because they said my dps wasn't high enough, when in actuality my dps in Destro was only slightly higher than what it was in Affliction. The reason? I don't like destro. stare Destro is really boring from what I've gathered D: I only have healers and tanks for toons, everything I know about DPS comes from my boyfriend who plays nothing but DPS. I can understand not liking Destro though, that's how I feel about Discipline x) LMAO, edit. My boyfriend said that if your guild wanted a Destro lock so badly that they should have just gotten a mage, they're pretty much the same xD I'm sorry about your guild, they should really check out 's warlocks, they are all affliction.

LorienLlewellyn My guild has two other active raiding warlocks. I think one is Destro and the other flops between Destro and Demo. They usually beat me on the damage meter but not by a ton. And they both have better gear than I do. I was guild shopping for a couple of months before ICC hit, then joined these guys right about when it hit, then sat out a lot as initiate rank, then finally made raider and got some DKP. So I'm curious to see if more ICC gear will put me up with them anyway. If you get more ICC gear it should put you way past them eventually, but I am not very sure. I will have to ask the faceroller boyfriend I have about his Afflic lock.

My main is a hunter and my main spec is mark with a mix of surv and beast. Enough surv to at least get me the scatter shot for pvp time. XD
But the spec I liked to play as was BM, it was fun to have a pet that could hold damn near anything we went up against. Though in raids and 80 pvp it isnt such a good thing mostly because they die really fast. >.<
And my other char is a dk with frost as his main spec, blood as off. I use frost for tankage and blood for dps. I know a lot of dk's cant tank mostly because its a touchy issue. But I can hold the mobs better as frost. But blood is still fun for pvp.

I thought Frost was originally the tank tree anyway?

well, the reason i have Surv on my Squigglebott is simple. I hate Survs in pvp and wanted to give them a taste of their own explosion shot spamming medicine. but i will always consider MM as my main spec. mostly because it was my original way back when i first started playing. didnt switch to cruise control(BM) until i was about 35, might be why he was slow to level at first. stayed there forever until me n my guild leader/arena buddy decided we were doing horrible dps in comparison to other hunters. so we both said goodbye to the hilarity of using intimidation on paladins when they hammer my a** and looked to the other specs. fell back in love with MM, he with surv. from then on i hardly ever respec'd chimera shot is a godsend and can set you up with a shitload of aggro for the tank right off the bat.
after fighting the same belf hunter in wg twice in a row and not being able to do squat to him, i ended up dualspeccing in survival. use that a lot more than anything else but every now n again i come back to MM but i tend to stay in Surv.

Priest as Holy.. Its just better.
I used to play as disc because I thought I was being clever playing the underdog spec, but now I dont really care. :p
Hunter as BM... Its more fun
I have a corehound named Cuddles. Nuff said.

On my shammy, I started as resto cause I was planning on healing dungeons but soon got sick of that around level 20 or so. I then went Enhancement cause I like hitting people with heavy things in games. : 3
I stuck with Enhancement most of the time, giving Elemental a try for a few levels in the mid-40s, until I hit 80. Once I started doing more raids and dungeons, I realized how annoying it was to constantly chase after a boss while I'm focusing on clicking my buttons with the pointer - my fingers don't like to cooperate with me when trying to DPS with hotkeys.
So I gave Elemental a try, and enjoyed having to move less. Dual-Spec came out at some point, and I specced Elemental/Enhancement so I could switch whenever I felt like DPSing differently.
I gave Restoration a try again after I accidentally won a healer trinket from 09's Brewfest, it wasn't so bad with people I know, but I eventually went back to Enhancement.
On my Death Knight, I'm always Blood. Every DK I make is Blood specced, because I love ending every regular fight with full health while questing. : D

To put it simply; I picked blood spec because it's the easiest to use and I can heal myself. It's convenient and I don't die as often....
I think mostly I pick dps for my characters because I'm lazy haha

Pouncey On my Death Knight, I'm always Blood. Every DK I make is Blood specced, because I love ending every regular fight with full health while questing. : D this is utter truth. frost is good when you're running a friend's lowbie through a dungeon but i always come back to blood. plus dancing rune blade is fun to mess around with healers in pvp The Voodoo Shuffle Why is DK tanking such an issue? Some DK tanks I run into are really good, and some aren't so good. I thought Frost was originally the tank tree anyway? my guess is that they still use 2handed weapons. thanks to the b***h new talent that lets you throw two oblits it pays to dual wield

They rely too much on random procs, etc. This is just what I've been told. We dont have a DK tank in our guild so its hard for me to judge.

I thought Frost was originally the tank tree anyway? If you can out dps a blood DK as frost, then you are my hero. I put out like 5-6k blood dps, and as frost I pull like 4.5k So I mean...theres a substantial difference. I picked mine cuz ensidia said that was the best spec, and it hasn't disappointed me. I dont know to be honest. I mean there are some bad dk tanks out there. And I keep getting told that blood is tank and frost is dps...but I think thats bull. The howling blast is a great attack to grab aggro in my opinion. I hold it pretty well but sometimes have had complaints because of some a-hole who doesnt think dk's should tank at all.I think its mainly down to the fact that DK's dont have enough damage mitigation. They rely too much on random procs, etc. This is just what I've been told. We dont have a DK tank in our guild so its hard for me to judge.

Well like I said howling blast is good to grab aggro, and death grip those that escape your threat and it pulls them back. Dk was actually where I learned to tank from. I had never played one before but I actually liked it.

So I Was Thinking....
Dk tanks are great if your a healer, They take little damage plus the whole OHSHI MAGIC BEGONE button, That and I love Frost tanks.
Being a Druid healer, Just amount of punishment they take is crazy, Just makes me wanna hug em.
Ok Maybe I Wasn't.
