Hi there Lock Forums~ I'm not sure why, though they are all similar caster classes all appeal to me. I currently have 80 Pally(Ret/Prot) Mage(Arcane/Frost) and Priest(Disc/Shadow).
I'm currently side-leveling a DK(64) and Hunter(47). I dropped off DK due to it being too rotation oriented, similar to Pally. Hunter is awesome due to Pet. Send it in and now, thanks to talent, grab 5-6 mobs, AoE, move on. It's sweet.
This got me thinking of the cooler pet class, Warlock. I got a Lock to 42 once, but it was BE on my Ally server so I had to delete her :/ Was VERY sad. This was when DK just came out and I wanted to reserve a name.
So my question is this: With the new BoA gear (I'd have full, 2 trinkets, staff, chest and shoulders all enchanted including Scryer shoulder buff!) is Demonology leveling still possible, or will I have to spend too much time waiting on threat for it to be speedy? I LOVE my big fluffy Void Walker, but if Affliction is going to be much faster, no sense gimping myself. At 80 I know to go Destro, but for leveling I don't know. So many patches, so many things I've forgotten.
Any advice on how YOU leveled and WHERE(as Ally) would be great. Preferably if you did it in a non cookie-cutter way... no more Duskwood or Ashenvale >.<).
Also for the Staff, would Lock prefer the +24 Int (Exalted Thorium Brotherhood Enchant, got it on Mage :D) or +30 SP? Got em both, did SP on Hammer for Priest but never had Staff for Mage so I dunno, plus Lock =/= Mage.
Any input would be great, I love Lock and want to make sure it doesn't end up scrubby.
