Warlock Gear

[Splatterpunk28]

<div></div><div></div>Okay, so I have been away from the game since about a month after DoF.  I've been back a week or so now and wow have things changed (no big surprise, though, I guess).  I'm trying to get up to speed on a few things, like AA's, quests, gear etc.  I hit the magic number 62 and this is supposedly the level I can get most gear.What are the primary concerns as far as shopping now?I assume it should be the following (but I could be wrong):1) +int or +power  (where about is my unbuffed goal for int?)2) +disruption  (can you really tell a difference in dps?)3) +resists (what is a decent unbuffed range for T7, casual raiding?)4) +subjugation (again, noticably less resists on stuns and roots?)Is flowing thought worthwhile anymore or is it pretty much going to be capped on any raid?  Same thing with intelligence ... how high should I try to go for unbuffed?  Is it still your level x 7?  Do necro's, wizards, enchanters and furies still buff +int and, if so, about how much each assuming level 70adept 3's?Sorry, I know I'm asking alot, any help is appreciated. P.S.  I only like to group and raid, I am NOT a solo'ing warlock, I have alts for that.  I just want to blow things up on Badjuju.  <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div><p>Message Edited by Splatterpunk28 on <span class=date_text>08-29-2006</span> <span class=time_text>02:12 PM</span>

1.) Get to int cap2.) Proc gear.  de-threat, power proc, or dps proc.  Which you use depends on your raid or group.3.) Flowing thought, resists, power, etc.  Everything else, change it up depending on mob and playstyle.<div></div>

<div></div><div></div>Thanks Khufure.I only had around 5pp to spend, but I ended up capping int, gained over 1000more power than I had (about 5.7k now), got all my resists to a little above 3k, added a nice +24disruption and some nice procs that decrease aggro, spell damage procs, increase chances for criticals and disruption.  The only thing I sacrificed that I had previously was flowing thought, but that doesn't seem nearly as important as all these other things.I'll learn all the specifics through parsing of what helps most, I guess.  <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Needless to say, I feel like I'm back on track and can focus on dps and keeping aggro away, can prolly even survive AEs again.<div></div><p>Message Edited by Splatterpunk28 on <span class=date_text>09-04-2006</span> <span class=time_text>09:07 PM</span>

Get a Gown of Glory from the Nest of the Great Egg. It's better than any T7 robe out there and you can have one in a few days of clearing. The downside - it's ugly and every other mage on the server already has two of them.<div></div>

<div></div>I have enough robes to choke a donkey <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />. One of them is the Raiment of the Skywatcher, which drops from a named on temple grounds, not in SoS. His name, oddly enough, is The Skywatcher.<div></div><p>Message Edited by korpo53 on <span class=date_text>09-01-2006</span> <span class=time_text>06:30 PM</span>

You dont want to hit your int cap... dont listen to the clowns that tell you to hit it... you want to get the items with alot of power on them and moderate int... self buffed im at like 460 int and hit the cap with a potion...  thats about the number you want being level 70.... ok im sure you want reasons... sure my self buffed im at 5.3k hp and 7.69k power on my own.... you wont see many warlocks with stats like that...  thats for your soloing stats.... when your in a raid you wont have to worry about the int potions, your group should buff your int enough to cap you out.... Basically leave room for int buffs or potions and gettin high power items you will get a bigger pool for power.<div></div>

Procs are important for max dps, but power pool is important as well.  A lot of times warlocks are going to get aggro, so I don't really know how important stamina/hp is considering when you aggro, you die in one to two hits anyway.  When you get fitzpitzles offhand, you will start healing yourself to full-life almost all the time too.  Definately do not worry about getting to int cap, you are more than likely going to be with an intelligence buffer and far past your stat cap.  <div></div>

If you have any sort of power problems you wanna go with power procs. (Gown of Glory, Necromantic Orb from x2 guy in forsaken city, MO pants, clairvoyent mantle, pants from worm in DT)If you pull aggro like most other warlocks, go for deaggro procs (skywatcher robe, nizara gloves, scapular mantle from 1st named in DT)Default: Dmg procs or resists gear so you dont get wiped by an aoe.Having a big power pool is nice but if you have only 2 power proc items it doesnt really matter. All the mages in my guild laughed at me when they found out i took the two FT character traits instead of the larger power pool, but i never ran out of power on any of the longer fights. I /respecced my traits to the larger pool and didnt notice any difference.I have gown of glory, necromantic orb, and MO pants and i consistnely finish the x2 crab in Shin with 95% power. I  *occasionally* go oop on cheldrak but not often. But thats what terrible deeds, pillaging, and bestow energy, and dracomancer gloves are for. Its nice to have INT but you should always be capped either way on raids due to group buffs. <div></div>
