Welcome to Gaia! ::

Affliction has big danger in raids because it is alot easier to be careless with your aggro than the controlling task of casting each individual spell. And if you are planning to do raids for your character, then Instant-howl of terror is useless. But if you are going to mix it up with some PvP, then Instant howl is alright.

Try this build for raid oriented spec. The reason I find this spec better is that having more into Destruction. The extra buffing that demonology gives is much better for your affliction bonuses. And for raiding, you'll have an imp out more often than any other pet.

Another reason is that I took out Dark Pact because you already have improved life tap. Since you have a better way of gaining mana with Life tap, Dark Pact is a redundant skill. The same thing applies to improved soul drain. A redundant way to get mana, and instead get Supression.

This spec is a similar pvp/pve spec. Except this adds more destruction that Demonology. The same rules pretty much apply.

Well, if you intend to use Darkpact, then get rid of improve lifetap. Evidently, I don't think it is worth the talents to gain more than one way to gain mana.

From my experience as a healer, I never healed the warlock, even when he was lifetapping. That's a mistake most healers do, heal the warlock. Good healers never heal warlocks unless they have the time and mana to do so. Even when I did heal my warlock friend, I threw a renew on him, that's about it.

If you're healer is healing you when you're lifetapping, just establish the fact that you don't need healing.

Another tactic is to Lifetap, then life-drain the health back as your form of healing.

I have a question, when I was playing World of Warcraft, I had a giant problem with spec-ing as a Warr. (4 months ago?) I went from Arms, to Fury, to Prot. I started as Arms, I kicked a** as Arms, 2k hk at like, level 29. Un-twinked, but getting back on topic, Arms, Fury, or Prot? They say you can't tank like a pro in Arms. >_< I kept all the gro on me ever since you could sunder in the Battle Stance, I've been able to keep the aggro off my priest friend. ((Note, I tank with a 2h-er. I know I should have a shield, but my 1hander is useless. xD ))

At lower levels, you can tank as any spec. But around levels 60+, it becomes a bit harder to tank as arms or fury, but it isn't impossible. One thing you have to be able to do is TRUST that the healer is good. The problem with tanking as anything but Protection, is that you tend to get hit alot more and a lot harder. Plus, the way you tank as a Fury or Arms warrior is a tiny bit different than Protection since you concentrate on DPS as well as Sunder Armor.

Although, You can't really tank in raids as a Arms or Fury. You have to be Protection in order to be MT in raids. You can get away with Arms or Fury tanking only in 5-mans.

It depends entirely on what you want.

It's kinda lvling right now. But thanks a lot. xd Those wil probably serve better than my own guesses at least. xp

.... affiliction is good for Pvp because even thou you Sometimes die more often then a SL lock you take Alot more people with you. And you shouldnt diss other people cause they met be right and then you look like an a$$.

No, you're terrible. Like, terrrrrriiiiible.

Soul Link isn't what makes Warlocks good, it keeps warlocks from being trash. The mitagation is gamebreaking, if you don't beleive that you're bad and should give NO ONE advice.

THE ONLY THING, that you should be doing on this forum is asking for help or leaving. You have no place to give advice.

End. Of. Story.

Warlocks are the best surviviors out of all of the cloth-wearing spell-casters. (Second to MAYBE holy priest) The key is stamina. They have a ton of it, and are meant to have so much of it, that they match warriors and paladins in terms of health. Soul-link only makes their stamina more efficiency, otherwise affliction warlocks then go on fear and drain life combo after DoTs.

Sorry to say, Warlock DoT's can kill almost anyone. Corruption, Immolation, Curse of Agony, Siphon Life, and top it off with Unstable Affliction, then there's nothing dispelers can do without taking heavy damage and silencing themselves so you can just reapply Unstable Affliction.

Plus, Instant howl of terror only increases Affliction warlock's survivability in both solo PvE and PvP scenerios.
