Eric asked me to respec to felgaurd to try it out a bit to see how effective it would be, so 2 hours before arenas, I went and spec'd out full demo, and let me just say I miss the burst dmg that locks can give. SL/SL I think is more of a 2v2/3v3 spec, you wear them down, they go OOM, you control their pally healers/mages with CoT and fears and counterspells. But with full demo, you definitely get less utility, like no CS, less range on dots/fears, no CoEx to kite, but as eric said, you make that up in pressuring the other team. You make their healers make mistakes, do they risk dispelling the feared pally, or should they pain suppression the hunter? Do they sit and drink for 2 ticks or do they keep healing? Risk to mana burn or get a PoM up? I'd say in about 80% of our games, they go after our SP, which leaves me free to CoT all healers, fear, then wind up some 2.2k bolts and shadowburns. Wish MS up, dots, felguard hitting for 6-700 non crit, 2.2k bolt that can crit for 3k+, followed by a shadowburn that can crit for 2k, you're looking at huge burst potential.

I'm hoping to fill the void and down times with UI bits from Synii. Eli - It makes a big difference. It's 40 more weapon damage out of the box. I did lose some AP (70 to be exact), but I gained the Executioner proc which is (excuse the pun) worth its weight in gold. Ignoring 840 Armor + the 200ish that I already ignore + two sunders = some 2000 armor ignored. On many clothies, this is the same as hitting a 0 armor target. That "10-20% armor reduction" becomes somewhat nil when I get Executioner up, and I get on a roll. It's even better that it lasts for 15 seconds. Timing CDs to go with it makes the damage that much more sweeter. Zado - I try to space my stuff out to maybe one article every 2-3 days.
