Hey guys I have a question for ya. Im currently level 48 affliction lock doing some BG's at the moment. But I plan on starting to level again in the next day or two. I will be doing pretty much all questing/grinding until around 59-60. Ive heard that demo with the felguard is a solid way to quest because he can tank multiple mobs. But I want to get your guys' opinions as to if I should stick with afflic or go with a demo spec? Any feedback would be great. Thanks

Affliction will be the best bet to quest grind and level. Multi mob tanking can be done with aff, while having very little down time. Although I have never done demo at all, i understand from others that the FG does not shine until 56 or so. However, if the fg is something you want to try, go for it. Demo will still get you to 60 pretty quickly as well.

I myself have never leveled Affliction (aside from always making Corruption an instant cast in my first five talent point levels, 10 - 15). But I have gone Demo every time and for me it seems to be the quickest and funnest. With the right spec you and your VW (Voidwalker) can solo Elite quests and can also along with the Felguard, have more then 1 mob on him at a time.
At 70 it's your choice what spec you choose.

But for leveling, I advise 5 in the Improved Corruption, then demonology up until leveling goal is reached.

As said, the felguard doesn't become good until lvl 56. However, that doesn't mean he's worthless. Personally, I've ran with him ever since I was able to get him and I've never had a problem, when I solo (what do most of the time).

However, in instances, it's best to know which summon will be most helpful. It won't always be the felgaurd.

I recommend going affliction, you have very little downtime due to dark pact and the health you regain from drain life and siphon life. By the time I was 65 I could kill up to 5 mobs at a time, and come out with around 80% health and 90% mana. Plus your felgaurd sucks until you get to around 56, and even then it takes it awhile to kill things and it has relatively low health.

I'm currently lvl 67 with a demo lock and can solo a few mobs just fine. Demo locks just need good +stam gear, which helps the felguard's life.

I was only demo for like 3 lvls then I switched back to affliction if I was wrong about the Felgaurd's health i'm sorry that was just my experience.

I just found this video on YouTube and thought I'd share it, since you're considering a demo lock.
