whats everyone planning on for raid specs at 80? i'm interested to know what everyone's gonna do with the extra 10 points, and see if we have all our bases covered still after losing nim and zomba...

personally, i continue to love affliction more than ever before, and im looking at something like Link, although im very unsure on the destro part of the build, specifically trying to get any points in ruin...also depending on what happens with haste, i might drop amplify curse after i've stacked enough. what i do like about this spec is its very heavy dot dmg, 3% hit to all spells, and the improved fel int from fel puppy, plus increased ability for it to regen mana on fights without too much aoe or aggro drop problems. obviously, i'd still be able to cover CoE with malediction unless we FINALLY get a damn boomkin.

whats everyone else thinking?

That spec looks good to me. Depending on gear, you might be able to swap some points in and out of the +hit talents, but if it's anything like BC, then you'll probably want the talented hit for a long time. If you can swing dropping the +hit, that spec will be pretty beast with 5/5 ruin and imp SB.

yeah...although i'm also afraid i might have aggro problems, so i might try to get down to the destro threat reduction talent, in which case i might also try to pick up grim reach and give myself a little more range.

Yeah, aggro issues are definitely up in the air at this point. If it's anything like BT was post-patch, it shouldn't be an issue at all, but I would think it would scale to be a LITTLE bit closer than it was then.

wtb moar spec discussion!

Link my current aff spec, for anyone that hasn't noticed yet and is planning on going aff, drain soul now does 4x normal dmg when the target is below 25%, meaning that with death's embrace and soul siphon i hit nearly 10k DS ticks. its pretty hawt.


I haven't looked at other specs much, what are other people doing?

Remember the debuff limit. I have heard that with as many debuffs there are in the game at this point, there is really only room for one afflock.

There is no debuff limit anymore.


Quote from: Daelo (Source)
We changed how the game handles debuffs (ie negative state effects on targets) on creatures with Wrath of the Lich King. The old hard cap of 40 debuffs on a target no longer effectively exists. You can now apply way more debuffs to a target without them dropping off before their duration expires. The default WoW UI will not normally display all these debuffs, but they really are still there.

thats true, the debuff table was removed. it would be kind of unfair for it to still exist, I cant think of a class that doesnt put up at least 2 debuffs, and personally below 25% i account for 8. I cant see blizz making those kinds of changes without changing the debuff table, and it is confirmed that they did remove it.
