Warlock build for a duo with a priest

[Kevin]

One problem with the build (which I didn't run into since I respeced to it at 55 or so) is choosing an order for the points.  Alot of the talents that specifically improve your fire skills are deep into the destruction tree.  You can go straight down that tree for them, but that means skipping on Improved Corruption and Improved VW until much later.  Those are two skills that are great for leveling though and so you may not want to skip them.  Not skipping them means you aren't really beefing up your fire skills until your 50's.  So I'm unsure what playstyle is best if you don't skip them.  You may end up playing more like a different build until late in your life.

I love the build, but thinking about it....I'm not sure how it works as a build starting at 0.  Of course you are respecing to the build as well.  I believe you are at level 30 which would put you right on the brink of starting to improve your fire skills if you went straight destruction.  One of the reasons I'm thinking straight destruction would be best is that its the quickest route to Conflagrate which helps alot for dps and mana (since you have to spam less).  Getting that skill will give you most of the skills you will have in the end and so let you get a feel for how it plays as well.  Even going straight for it though, you couldn't get it till 41.  So I don't know, I'm just worried about how it will play in the middling levels where you are.  I guess alot of that could depend on how your duo plays as well.  Something for you to consider at least.

Yep. :) I have been thinking about it quite a bit too. He is 30 right now, yes, and I had improved corruption and down to one point in Master summoner. So a flop over to Destruction right now will prove interesting. But that is part of the point for me. Build the builds up. Not just picking a build and changing to it. :)

Lack of improved corruption will be interesting because I do think I'm going to just drive down the tree and see how it goes. The mage is fine with playing kiting monkey since we really didn't kite much at all up to that point because voidy could tank everything for us. :) Just give him a little time and do a little focus fire on the first mob he went in on, DoT everything as I switch to it for him to get the torment on, start the AoE, hit the AoE taunt and laugh as it all dies and if voidy lost anything, and you change targets with voidy as soon as you see torment go to help prevent this, it would be dead before it could touch us thanks to the slowing effect of blizzard. Voidy won't stand up like that anymore and won't taunt as well now though so we'll see how it goes. :)

I'll have fun either way. If I'm gimped over what I could be, oh well. :)
