BC: Warlock Builds

[nobbie]

I thought I start a thread here, where people can present their (planned) Warlock builds for BC.

This will be mine, and it improves basically on the old "Soul Link - Shadowburn" build of WoW:

BC "Shadowburn - Ultimate Summoner" Demonology Warlock

Minimum Required Level: 70
Required Talent Points: 61

Affliction Talents - 7 point(s)

# Improved Corruption - rank 5/5
# Improved Life Tap - rank 2/2

Demonology Talents - 43 point(s)

# Improved Imp - rank 3/3
# Demonic Embrace - rank 5/5
# Improved Health Funnel - rank 2/2
# Improved Voidwalker - rank 3/3
# Improved Succubus - rank 3/3
# Fel Domination - rank 1/1

# Master Summoner - rank 2/2
# Unholy Power - rank 5/5
# Demonic Sacrifice - rank 1/1
# Mana Feed - rank 3/3

I question your exclusion of Demonic Aegis. With the new Fel Armor, I thiink it would be more universally useful than, say, Imp VW. Especially with the Fel Guard.

I myself would go with a similar build, but as a modification of 20/31 NF/SL. I likes my drain tanking, and Fel concentration is essential to it.

EDIT: Here's a quick build - could do with some tweaking, but I like it.

I'm still thinking about mine. I'm not even certain about Intensity (my old 'must have') since Seed of Corruption provides a non-channeled AOE.

I personally don't enjoy demonology so I've been looking at some other possible specs.

This is probably the best spec for pure shadow focused group play. Sacrifice a succubus for +25% total shadow damage, then spam shadowbolt, it's really the old SM/Ruin with bane added.

This is a more fire focused spellcasting build, it can be adjusted to a very powerfull pvp build by switching 3 points from shadow and flame to backlash. Great for those who like to both pvp and pvp as well, since you can sacrifice either a voidwalker or an imp.

I can't really think of any good full affliction builds without feeling I'm wasting points somewhere. Any suggestions?

Oh, and now that they fixed imp CoA I can't find the points for Fel concentration, so I usually just max out suppression.
