Lvl 80, Demo SB Spam Spec?Follow

http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=IZ0xIzsgMq0sguAZE00VM

I am thinking of trying this out at 80 to start Naxx. All the goodies out of Demo minus Metamorphisis. Still up in the air on whether or not to take that though. Thinking if dropping one point from Demonic Empathy to get it.

Basically, send in Felguard, DoT and Spam SB, with Demonic Empowerment, possible Meta, and trinkets macroed into my SB button. Kind of a lazy mans build, similar to old Demo Sac, sticking with SB.

By adding up some numbers at wow-loot.com, 600+ Haste will be very attainable pre-raiding. Hit is not as important with Shaman and Druid in the group, though some will still be needed, so stacking Haste seems like the thing to do. I guess my real concern is just how much Haste to stack? Anyone seen any good numbers on Haste yet?

Also, how's everyone doing in the leveling spree. I hit 75 last night myself. Took friday off work and played hard all weekend. Tonight I'm hoping to get at least 75% of the way to 76, if not hit it. With half a level a day I'm hoping to be 77 when I start Firday night, and stay up late Firday and hit 78. Then go for 79 Saturday and 80 Sunday. That's my goal anyway, and it seems attainable if I can keep up the pace I have been,

Just so you know, I hate you both....really I do....

I have 5 70s and will start leveling my lock tonight when i get home. Won't be 80 by this weekend though...

I am spending too much time enjoying the new lore, and the scenery.

2 Questions:

Why are you putting 2 points in Master Conjurer instead of putting one in Demonic Sacrifice? I mean, without using Metamorphosis, are Spell Stone or Fire Stone worth it (Note: I'm not saying Spell Stone helps in Demon Form)?

Do you think it may be worth putting a point in Metamorphosis instead of, say, the second point in Destructive Reach? You lose some range and threat mitigation... But, since you are primarily Demo, your threat should be lower than other DpS classes anyway (excpet Beast Master Hunters).

@Lathais - when Beta forums were still up, the statement was made that there would be situations where it would be more beneficial to not have a pet out than to have it out. Granted, they have made it far easier for non demo locks and hunters both to be more capable of having pets out in most situations, Demo will still have an edge with Demo Sac in the event a particular encounter happens to not be pet-friendly. So, really, Demo Sac will be a point worth taking. As for Destructive Reach, Demo is a lot more reliant on DD (read, Incinerate/SBolt and Immolate) than affliction, so Destructive Reach is still a potential winner for Demo specs for threat reduction. Granted, threat generation for tanks has greatly been buffed (I usually average ~1600 tps on a 64 prot warrior that has all northrend gear other than weapon - didn't hit 70 until Nov. 13th on that toon), but threat reduction is still nice, if you can find the points for it. Intensity will likely prove more valuable, however, for the pushback resistance (especially if there are no Imp. Conc. Aura paladins in your raid).

For the most part, DSac will probably be an oh **** button, but it's still a one-up over non-ferocity pets (hunters, esp. BM) and non-Demo locks. I would spend the point.

Lathais,
I just spent a while fooling around with talents and came up with something very similar to yours. I would say that yours is the best for raiding because of demonic pact. I opted to put a point into Devestation and leave 2 out of demonic pact. I guess I had more quest soloing type play in mind though. I still have a lot of leveling to do (been busy).
