Response to Questions.

I received a couple of questions and Im going to answer them here:

You asked for question. So here are the immediate ones that come to mind…- How do you find out about the daily quests? Is there a research site you use? Everything I read talks about them like you should already know and just refers to them as “Dailies”. - Do you like your affliction spec DoTs now that some time has passed? How different is it from how you use to play?- In instances do you have your minion at your side at all times or do you send your minion in to dps?- What Curse do you use primarily in instances?Remember you asked. =P


Dailies; Dailies started after the last major patch. I believe, but I could be wrong, (I dont really remember) but the first quest starts in the middle of Shat next to the Flight Master. This quest will take you to Skettis. Skettis is in the mountains to the south east of the Flight Master in Terrorkar Forrest. Start those quests there. Once you get to a point it will take you to Blades edge mountains and will be able to start doing quests there. As of now I have 5 dailies that I can do, 1 left in Skettis, and 4 in BEM.

My play style; I originally leveled 1-60 as affliction spec'd. I like many aspects about this spec. Siphon life and Nightfall are my 2 favorites. There is nothing like a dot that does damage to your mob and heals you at the same time. Plus it will cause Nightfall to proc and will give you an instant shadow bolt. Once patch 2.0 came out I respec'd to Demonology. The fel guard was a force to be reckoned with. He was awesome. I leveled 60-70 as Deomonology and loved it. I got such a boost in spell damage and with my fel guard I could take on just about anything. Most group quest that were suggested 3 or less I could solo. I stayed as this spec for a long time after hitting 70. I would use my fel guard as an off tank in instances. with health funnel and healers that were willing to heal my pet, we had an off tank that could handle his business. When he wasnt off tanking, I would leave him next to me and use him to help protect the squishies in the group when they would pull aggro. I would leave intercept turned on so I could use him to stop the mob in his tracks and give the tank a chance to regain aggro.
Once we hit Kara, I was asked to respec to affliction, as it was a more viable raid spec. I had more dots and would last way longer for the boss fights. For the trash I would use, Curse of Shadows, ( I spec'd imp CoS) Immolate, Siphon Life, and Corruption. Once dots were applied, I would just shadow bolt till dead. Boss fights I would use the same dots but would add in Unstable affliction. I know this is more of a PvP dot, but that extra dot really helps out alot. I always use my imp now for the stamina buff, and I rarely use anything else. Even when soloing, I can usually take the hits from mobs that i dont need to have a tanking pet handle the hits for me. Plus if the shit hits the fan I just fear and life drain.
Now alot of people will say that apply all of those dots on trash mobs are not needed an will gimp my damage on the damage meters. But I try to weave my dots so I don't pull aggro and that I can take advantage of the cool downs. I will start off with CoS, and then will go into either unstable affliction, or Immolate. I go to these dots next as they have a 1.5 sec cast time. As soon as I finish casting, I go straight to siphon life, then corruption. I have found that this usually means the fasting casting of my dots.
I still dont have the gear to be deadly in my spec. If I was pimped out, I would be able to pull aggro with just allowing my dots to tick, with out even firing a single shadow bolt. I would spec back to demonolgy as right now I dont raid very much anymore, but when I do raid, I know that I can last through any boss fight, and rarely have to drink.

I think I answered all your questions, If I left something out let me know, I will try to address them.
