Yes compared to what it used to be but afaik it's still the best/only resource for pvp

Beside the Ravenhold rogue only bullshit, it's a pretty tame achievement to get these days it seems, with the new Darkmoon Faire island and the removal of Sen'dralar, they cut the hard parts. - Those unique librams back in the day... )

The annoying part, I have a rogue lvl 65 I could use for ravenhold, but he's on the wrong server, and in the wrong faction haha.
I'm pretty sure it's cheaper to pay for a character boost than for a server transfer + faction change too.

This has been my argument the whole time: gear up and get set bonuses first, but raid leader is like "nope, heroic first because I'm not a pussy."

To be fair its not as if BRF is difficult on heroic (at least PTR wise)

Then again I don't really care much about my set bonus as a disc priest so maybe I'm just bias in favour of progress

Our guild is going straight in heroic, probably so we can get our ass back in mythic highmaul as soon as possible that week

The set bonuses are mediocre for Affliction and absolutely gamebreaking for Demo. I've been learning demo at the request of my raid leader and it's very weird. I really don't like how the systems work, but it's not that hard.

So if you were to compare the three top builds for each spec, this is what it looks like at single-target...

1st - Affliction = 28,897
2nd - Destruction = 28,711
3rd - Demonology = 27,897

These numbers are very balanced. If you open it up to 2 targets, it changes drastically.

1st - Affliction = 36,428
2nd - Demonology = 35,967
3rd - Destruction = 32,516

The set bonuses actually are very significant for Affliction according to sims. Right now Demo is blowing the other lock specs out of the water on nearly every fight. But when Afflic gets the 4pc set, it is neck and neck with Demo after having 4pc set as well!

Summary Quote


I've mained affliction forever, but decided to try Demo after the buff partly for fun and partly because it simply was destroying Afflic/Destro. It really does make a huge difference in DPS though Demo has a high learning curve and takes a lot of practice to get down to muscle memory. As you continue to play it you keep finding new opportunities to fit in more damage somewhere too. It's a really fun indepth spec imo.

With the 4pc set, I can easily choose Afflic over Demo without worry about gimping my dps. I like Afflic better for movement heavy fights since I can just keep DoTs up and channel/stopchannel Drain Soul on the move. And I find it easier to focus on mechanics with Afflic since there's far less to focus on than Demo (even after playing it for a couple weeks I still make suboptimal moves with it) and my dps is consistent with Afflic.

Isn't Destro pretty good on Brackenspore with havoc+shadowburn on adds?

That only works if Bracken or the add is at 20%. Not to mention look at how much lower destro is at 2 target than Aff and Demo. Most of the fight is 2 target.

Yeah, Destro at least has its own niche on fights where you can havoc/shadowburn adds, and does pretty well on Brackenspore/Imperator/M Kargath. Aff on the other hand is just straight up inferior to Demo since the Demo buff :/


You can Havoc the boss/add and shadowburn spore shooters/mushrooms, that way you have tons of embers. Plus destro has the best "on demand" burst of all 3 specs for spore shooters.

Brackenspore is probably the best Destro fight in HM with imperator.

One more thing about Affliction and the 4pc set.. SB:Haunt will almost guaranteed be the best talent to pick with it. That also helps out affliction a lot for multiple target dotting since the SB:Haunt is a buff on yourself and so all your dots on all the targets hit harder. I previously shyed away from SB:Haunt because of the RNG with the shard regen, but the tier set will make that less prone to RNG screw.
