I would only like to benchmark it with my fellow warlocks. Im still trying to figure out which spells I should have at the range of my fingers and which ones I could leave for my mouse's buttons. Secondly, Have you thought about a "nuking queue" ? In a group situation, which spells you cast 1st and which comes right after ? Im looking foward to come up with a good mana-wise spell usage. Thanks a lot !! Coldpill 25th Warlock - Unrest Server <div></div>

<DIV>I have my sprint, DOTs, nukes, debuffs and stuns on the 1st row. AEs, roots, invis and more debuffs on 2d row. Buffs and COO on 3d row.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Using alt and ctrl they are all just a key combo from being cast. As I get new spells, I move out the ones that I dont use much.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As far as a nuking queue - they are all beside one another and which one I cast depends on the situation. I don't like to open with Nil Distortion very often, for some reason, mobs take umbrage at being hit for 2,100 when the tank pulls. I start throwing it around when the mob is 80-90% health.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Banshye on <span class=date_text>08-18-2005</span> <span class=time_text>11:57 AM</span>

<DIV>I'm probably weird, as I don't think about it all that much, and have done very little reading on the subject of what the spells really do and when to use them (which is why I'm browsing the forum today).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But, on my main bar I have my damage spells.  Then I have a bank of two other rows off to the side (4 rows of 4 each - not all filled).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Damage spells: I start with Null Absolution, then I've got stifle/stuns, DoT's, then straight nukes</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My Utility bank:  Stuff like Set Recall Point, Sprint, Cure Arcane, and an Invis are along the top.  Second row is for long lasting or party buffs - Magi Sheilding, Dark Pact, Bolster Energy Abhorrent Gift.  Third row is for personal buffs or spells - Venoumous Runes, Boon of the Shadow, Strength of Void...  Fourth Row is for spells like Nullificiation, Curse of Null, etc - nasty stuff to mobs</DIV>

<P>I have 3hotbars open:</P> <P><IMG src="http://www.temple-tantrums.com/hotbars.jpg"></P> <DIV>1st is for roots, stuns, stifles, interrupts, casting debuffs</DIV> <DIV>2nd is for dps</DIV> <DIV>3rd is for buffs, power converstion, power heals, etc</DIV> <DIV>I flip to the 4th bar for gate and our 5buffs that last until cancelled.</DIV> <DIV>I flip to the 5th bar if up against poison/disease immune mobs, it's all heat/cold based from T2 + Ice Flame.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It works for me, I'm too lazy to switch around stuff.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As far as rotations, there are too many variables to say something fits most.  </DIV> <DIV>Solo - no debuffing</DIV> <DIV>Group - Chaotic Maelstrom</DIV> <DIV>Heroic (and I'm solo'ing):  Curse of Emptiness if it's yellow/orange, otherwise no debuffing.</DIV> <DIV>I always begin with debuffs if I'm going to use them, otherwise the rest depends on aggro management of tank and the hps of the mobs, AE or single.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Splatterpunk28 on <span class=date_text>08-19-2005</span> <span class=time_text>10:55 PM</span>
