    Hey guys, i got the drain soul info wrong on this one. U pull ur pet back so improved soul drain triggers, not missing out on a soul shard. Sorry about that, misread during my research.

    I did a respec at level 36 to try and follow this and my survivability went out the window. I followed the order suggested in the video and would really recommend putting points in demo first. I would pump up demonic embrace and improved voidwalker first and then go back into affliction. This way your vw wont lose threat as often with all the dots you are putting on your targets. Aside from that, love the build so far.

    @stormdavis8917 4 года назад +4

    I’d also say in a PvP server, you are going to find more benefit in utilizing life drain over your wand, especially at higher levels. Utilizing drain life is pretty much the same speed as using the wand, but keeps you at full life and mana, you also save time having to not bandage. The build highlighted is definitely focused on some one off beneficial scenarios, but for overall more speed, doing 5/5 supp and 5/5 improved DL over Drain Soul and fel intellect 5/5 is gonna give you more results. If you are leveling your warlock to 60 as a second character, it’s also worth investing in the Shadoweave set from Shadow tailoring which will also stack on your Drain Life, making it far superior to wanting as well. Otherwise this is a very helpful guide about some of the great nuances of the warlock.

After go back and finish the affliction tree and add the last points in demon for good mesure. .

    at 7:45 you mention as a warlock if your pet gets last hit while draining soul you WILL NOT get a soul shard. and this is not true. for Drain Soul the target just needs to die while you are conencted with the spell drain soul and you WILL be rewarded a soulshard every single time. BUT if you have the talent "Improved drain soul" in the Affliction spec, you DO require to have the last hit via DoT, or direct dmg. but if your pet DOES get the last hit you WILL get a soulshard but you WILL NOT get the "Improved Drain Soul" Talent proc. For the talent you need the last hit. but great vid. i genuinely learned a lot :D ty keep it up (This macro is still usefull for getting this talent to proc, but IF you DONT use this talent its not neccesarry for getting shards) btw you should put atleast 1 point in the talent because its worth it if you go by it anyway just for the ending "50% mana regen during casting at all times" it isnt connected to the buff it just enables mana regen if im correct.

    • @Oakenlix
      @Oakenlix 4 года назад +7

      There's a good argument that the drain soul talent simply isn't worth it. The effect only lasts 10 second, and casting drain soul triggers the 5 second rule, so for the half of the duration you just get your normal mana regen just like if you wanded the mob to death, so you're left with another 5 seconds of double mana regen. Which isn't bad, I'll admit, but probably not worth the 2 talent points, especially since warlocks are very sustainable anyway.

    I highly recommend not going straight for shadow master because you will sacrifice way too much survivaibility and as you mentioned locks dont have much defense/escape early on especially if not orc. You should start by picking up improved corruption, suppression amplify curse and improved life tap (8-11 points depending on preference). then switching over to demo picking up improved HP, health stone, void sac, fel dom, and master summoner (17 points). After master summoner you go back to affliction tree picking up the rest of your important talents and getting shadow mastery. The reason for this is that getting shadow mastery early and talents like improved CoA don't scale as well be cause you have low level abilities. Getting all the survival talents and having master summoner at level 37 is huge in your defense and lasts all the way to 60. if you do it the other way and get SM first then you get your best defense skill at level 56 and use it for only 4 levels before respeccing. Also when you delay the SM talent you will end up getting it right around the time you start collecting spell damage gear (lvl 51-56) and it scale with your high ranking spells

      I feel like affliction warlock is pretty boring, just melting the enemy no big juicy crits. Deep destruction is so much fun though, so much control, utility, the variety of the pets to counter different classes/situations and the insane burst of immolate -> conflag -> shadowburn or fear -> curse of elements -> soulfire, will hit them like a truck. All that is super fun, but it doesn't end there, so much usefulness to a raid/dungeon group as well, just a great class for pvp and pve. Also that free mount at 40 ;)

    If you are trying to figure our how he put the keybinds for his Attack/Follow commands for his pet it goes as follows:
    On the KeyBindings Menu:
    For Pet Attack go to Targeting and set the tab for Pet Attack to the Mouse Wheel Up.
    For Pet Follow: There is NO tab that actually says, "Pet Follow". Go to the first Action Tab and look for Pet Action Button 2. Setting this tab to Mouse Wheel Down will command your pet to Follow.
    This rose my blood pressure a bit trying to figure this out.

    So i see you picking spells and i notice you skipped rank 1 Curse of Recklessness... this is a MUST HAVE spell for leveling. recklessness keeps humanoids from running away from you when they get to low HP. super useful for not pulling a shit ton of extra mobs when solo leveling and even in dungeons. I don't recommend getting multiple levels in it unless you are duo with a physical based dps character. higher ranks of recklessness decrease the targets armor significantly, but also increases their attack power. but that anti-flee is a huge perk on the spell. for sure a must have.

      This is wrong, drain life at rank 4+ which is unlocked at 38 is significantly stronger than wands. Siphon life being bad is also misinformation, on short fights it is less effective but longer fights 18+ seconds it is very strong as life=mana as a warlock and more mana=more combat uptime. There's plenty of research on both these.

    I'm leveling up as destro. Having an insta-damage spell for those god damn rotten bastards tagging important mobs was a pain in the literall ass. Plus it's a neat "execute" ability with a decend damage, it does wonders if you managed to crit a shadowbolt, the extra shadow damage do applies and gives you a very hard ouchies.

    I'm want to go affliction/destro, can I just do 20 into destro to end with ruin and do just as much if not more dps? I'm planning on pvping endgame and rather have shorter cooldowns and increase in damage with shadowbolt/immolate. Ruin makes destro spells crit damage x2.

    I prefer Dive's drain tanking method. Succubus auto attacks are like 27% of my damage. Only downside is it is a little harder to juggle multiple mobs, but the zones are so swamped with players that I rarely have reason to take on 3+ mobs. Also at 40 with dark pact mana is almost never an issue. If the VW was a better tank then it would be different, but as it stands you're likely to pull threat anyway. Better to run with a pet that does solid dps.

    Have you tested using the voidwalker to tank in classic beta? I've read that it VW tanking doesn't work as efficiently as anticipated since VW aggro in classic is way lower than private server. This is why it's better to do the drain tanking method for leveling instead.... any comments on this?

    pro tip: ignore the void lord. The tanky pet you think you remember is actually from tbc or wotlk/cata. It sucks in vanilla, can't even hold aggro on dots or wand. Theoritically it can hold aggro on 1 target with 1 or 2 dots but it will take forever to kill that way, but you could dot up and fear a 2nd target (though bad idea on a pvp server) Instead go hp drain tanking build (still afflic) but use a suc or felhunter or even the imp, all will kill faster than the void lord and since he can't hold aggro well (even talented) he's almost useless. Drain tank w/ succubbus everything dies so fast and you stay full hp easily.

    Voidwalker is significantly weaker on Classic than it is on Private Servers, primarily because it does significantly less damage in Classic, meaning the threat it generates is less, thus limiting the amount of damage you can do before you end up just tanking the mob yourself while your pet hits it like a wet noodles.
    The consensus is starting to shift to just use your Imp until you get the Succubus with her spells disabled and just Drain (Life) Tank as it ends up being way more efficent than using void walker as you end up having a lot less downtime in the long run, and you're not having to constantly just stand around and do nothing while your pet generates enough threat to actually contribute.
    Dive (well known Private Server warlock, and one of the folks who does a lot of the theory crafting on the Classic Warlock Discord) made a reddit post during the Classic BETA regarding this, I strongly suggest people check it out, while void walker still works, it is no longer the defacto choice for leveling. If you search "Reddit Dive Drain Tanking Classc" it should be the top result.

      @BattleBoots 4 года назад +2

      @@zepho100 Yeah, Nylo linked the guide and the talents are in there but at any rate, there's two schools of thought with a little aside for optional stuff. Primarily you either take Improved Imp early and take an early respec (around level 24ish) or you skip it entierly and just rush straight into your main leveling build. Eitherway, the recommended path is to stay almost exclusively in Affliction till you get Dark Pact and use your succubus (with auto-casts turn off) as a mana battery, meaning you have less downtime drinking for mana, because you can just Tap + Drain life + Steal your pets mana to sustain yourself. I strongly, strongly, suggest you read Dive's thoughts on it, and make the decision yourself as to how exactly you want to go about it, but the talents I use based off the talents recommended in the guide are (Roughly) as follows:
      *_With Improved Imp:_*
      Improved Corruption 2/5> Improved Imp 3/3 > Improved Corruption 5/5 > Suppression 3/5 > Improved Lifetap 2/2 > Improved Healthstone 2/2 or Demonic Embrace 2/5 > Respec
      *_Without Imp (Or after respec):_*
      Improved Corruption 5/5 > Suppression 3/5 > Improved Life Tap 2/2 > Fel Concentration 5/5 (Reduces pushback during Drain Life) > Grim Reach 2/2 > Amplify Curse > Improved Drain Life 2/5 > Siphon Life 1/1 > Improved Drain Life 5/5 > Curse of Exhaustion 1/1 or Nightfall 1/2, your choice you need an extra point somewhere, I take Exhaustion > Shadow Mastery 5/5 > Dark Pact 1/1 > (Optional, but strongly recommended) Improved Healthstone 2/2 > (Optional, but strongly recommended) Demonic Embrace 5/5
      *_and from this point forth the talents don't have an incredibly large impact on the general efficency of the build, so it's entirely up to you where you spend the rest of your points, I personally go_*
      2/2 Nightfall > 4/5 Fel Intellect (so my Succubus has more mana for me to steal) > Fel Domination > 5/5 Fel Intellect > 4/4 Improved Curse of Exhaustion > Improved Curse of Agony 1/3 (But you're 60 here, so you just respec to your level 60 Spec)
      *_Alternatively you can go_*
      Cataclysm 5/5 > Bane 5/5 > Shadowburn 1/1 > Nightfall 2/2 (and again you're 60, so you can just go respec to your 60 spec)
      *_Or just about any other combination, it's entirely at your discretion, shadowburn can be useful for PvP engagements as it gives this build a little bit of burst it otherwise lacks, but Fel Domination gives you quick access to your Void Walker for Sacrifice for much of the same reason of making you harder to kill in PvP, but still has uses in general questing allowing you to shield yourself and escape a hairy situation and an otherwise rather long, umounted run back to your corpse that's quite common in the higher level zones._*

    • @SilverforceX
      @SilverforceX 4 года назад +2

      I main warlock back in wow vanilla and this was the build I used, and it was because I quickly found that the Voidwalker was useless at tanking. As soon as you did some dmg, you ended up tanking instead so I was forced to spec into drain life just to survive. But as a good benefit, you dont have to hold back. Open up with Agony, Corruption, Immolate and drain life. By the time the dots run low or out, the mob is dead, you have almost full HP, half mana bar. You life-tap 2x and moved on. If HP gets too low, bandage up and move on.

If you using void and give him enough time to round up 3+ mobs and get hes aoe taunt off once or twice u should be ok i think. Single target obviously no issue, SL to ur hearts content :) What some other players also mentioned about the void not being that great for vanilla leveling and rather taking other pet for dps it would also play a role in SL as u might get healing aggro sooner if not using void.
