FYI, they buffed Shadowflame at the start of P3, and it does a TON of damage now. Definitely something you should try. I think it would fit in perfectly in this build.
im gonna have to take a look at it! the spellpower bonuus from demo knowledge is thicc but depending on the size of the pull it can probably out outweighed?
I did this gold farm for an hour - got great gold, a few good drops, lost 17 pounds, went up 50 pounds on my bench press, now I'm bankin 3 pointers nothing but net, and I started dating a model. Thanks Mr Timmerson!
Oh by the way if anyone likes the music in these videos, they are all songs I have produced myself let me know and I'll send them to you for anything you want them for
The Legashi Satyr in Azshara have slightly better drop rate on felcloth and the rogues can drop the recipe for elixir of the Mongoose. I think it's slightly better but you might be contested more there
I leveled my Meta lock through P2 with a Destro build and I haven't respecced since I picked SoD back up in P4. I'm going to give this build a try because the points in drain life and life tap sound perfect for keeping resources up and for survivability. I usually just solo level and run dungeons.
im a big fan of solo leveling, but dungeons are always a good time (sadly warlocks just get to run in and hellfire mostly) haha. but yea give it a shot and let me know! i still want to update for phase 4 but i think its a bit late for that now :(
Can't imagine not running Nightfall on Meta. Sure, the Shadowcleave resets are typically underwhelming, but it's at least better than dead talents like curse of exhaustion if you're not going to cast it. Great video overall, definitely love the affliction drain aoe build for farming. Keep up the good work, king. EDIT: Nightfall procs will also help with ISB if you spec into that as well
@@Zantsmith My comment was pointing out that you can take a slightly useful talent instead of a useless one and still get the increase shadow damage talent
@winkyhc oh wow, is that what gives those slick nameplates too that show debuffs as its that bit in particular I'd like. Been farming these satyr today for about 70-80g/h which is nice when I'm building up my demonic rune stash with them
@@iggyvandenhaesevelde felhunter isnt the best dps, i recommend using succubus if you want highest dps while leveling. i only use felhunter in the video here to kick the casters im farming
I think you should totally pick up Nightfall and improved shadowbolt. Shadowcleave is decent damage on three targets and by resetting its CD you can fish for crits and use the ISB targets for increased life gain from drain life. Especially next ID when pets gain your life taps, the mana talent probably won't be needed
Problem is ISB does not affect Shadowcleave. You don't get the shadow damage increase when it changes from bolt to cleave in meta. Plus nightfall doesn't give you an instant or free cleave either so until they change ISB and Nightfall to affect cleave, they are worthless in meta
id be down to try it for a while and see how it feels, i really only try to use Shadow cleave when i need to refresh corruption right now but with nightfall resetting CD of shadowcleave it could be good output
I don't get this build, why would put a point in improved saye and not use that point for Dark pact, whereby your pet becomes a mana tank for you. You basically can never go oom.
so in phase 2 we put a point in dark pact, you still can if you d like, i just find that i never used dark pact practically, BUT that being said, there are changes coming so that lifetap also gives your pet mana back as well, so dark pact might have more unique interactions soon! But by all means if you enjoy dark pact take it, its still great!
@@winkyhc Honestly, in battlegrounds dark pact has been a game changer for me, Once I respawn and have put on demon armor and detect greater invid i'm starting the battle on 60% mana. Now with dark pack i literally pump myself back to 100% with little downtime. That extra mana is so crucial !!!!

They sure did, but the flat Spellpower bonus from Demonic Knowledge is just hard to beat!

This is true! ive looked into farming there as well but im so lazy and felwood is just right there, songflower etc haha but yes! youre right!

This was brought up in another comment as well, im gonna give it a shot!
Nightfall is worth it on grps of 3+ for sure.
The reason he took that was to get the talent further down the tree passed siphon life to increase shadow dmg

Great video, as always, Winky.
thanks wondergoon
The average pull you're doing is probably around 4-5 mobs and playing EA i'd recommend putting 5 points in ISB over Fel Intellect, it's great.
But does Shadowcleave benefit from ISB? I was under the impression it does not
ISB does work in shadowcleave
This is something ive been wanting to try with the shadowbolt volley idea as well, could be pretty darn good imo
Holy crap dude this is an S tier guide. much love homie
i love you
Thanks brother for the updated guide. Leveled my lock just to farm.
I've tried ElvUI before and really couldn't get a configuration that I liked, but yours looks super neat, is it something you're able to share?
i actually dont use ElvUI for classic, this is just Domino's actionbars

@@joshcheez611 the nameplates is an add on called threat plates classic
thnx for this amazing leveling build my first time play warlock and with your build i can do massive aoe kills
thats what we love to see! welcome to the shadow wizard money gang
hey mate just have a question is the felhunter pet an awsome dps when leveling almost reach 40 with your amazing build
@@iggyvandenhaesevelde felhunter isnt the best dps, i recommend using succubus if you want highest dps while leveling. i only use felhunter in the video here to kick the casters im farming
I just got the demo form and used this build. Its very very good., lvl 34 warlock and enjoying it very much :D
need the Pandemic runes so badly :D
im glad youre enjoying it man! i havent played phase 4 yet do you think warlock is in a good spot?
@@winkyhc : He is my alt, so he is still 44.
Focus on my Shaman tank main :D
@@winkyhc warlock tank valuabe for MC/ONY and good dps so yah the main tank in my MC i run with now is a warlock tank
Can we have an Update for phase 4 please? :)
i need to honestly get off my booty and grind out phase 4 but yes :) id love to update this for phase 4!

@@noonesp3cial It's underwhelming but not useless. It's been updated to reset shadowcleave.
What is your hunter macro for?
thats just a petattack[harm] macro i never re named lol
its P4 wno and my warlock only lvl 27 awas looking for a way to solo powerlevl myself lol

@@trebordraw awesome I'll try that next time I'm queing up, thanks for the feedback too!
Why sayad if you're using a felhunter, just get better cookies
Sayad is the go to melee dps pet for this build, i only use felhunter in the felcloth farming location because there are casters
