That looks like the basic spec for everyone. I can't really see why/where to spec different. We'll be casting so much you don't really need 3/3 shadow weaving. We lose inner focus and meditation, but thats not a huge loss. MF will refresh SW:P automatically, so theres 500ish or mana we don't need to use every 26 seconds.
IF i were to play this char at 80, I'd prob spec this.
Really just adding Disc talents to hit imp inner fire.
Well, all gear is going to
Agoney — Thu, 09/11/2008 - 12:38Well, all gear is going to be +damage now, I believe theyre getting rid of + shadow, arcane etc. I cant find a good spec to level disc (assuming damage disc). You'll be missing a ton of hit, so good luck with it :)
Well, for 80, figure one of the healing priests will pick up DS. 5/5 mental agility is worthless, since it doesn't affect shadow spells. (unless thats been changed, and if it is, its still worthless). Your two instant spells are SW:P, and SW:D. SW:P will only be put up initially. SW:D has reduced mana cost via talents. Imp VE is pretty much the only thing we bring to the table now, its the only unique buff we bring that other mana return classes don't. It has a lot of threat, but its easily manageable.
I was looking at fairly the
Fjork — Thu, 09/11/2008 - 08:45I was looking at fairly the same spec for 70. I'm curious if they are really going to release the new talents with the next patch. I'm halfway considering rerolling Disc if they do so I can start to have some sort of surviveability in BGs and solo'ing. Not to mention that by that time I won't really have any +shadow gear to speak of, so all of my +spell gear will work just as well having smite in the rotation. They have been stated they'd like to see Mind Flay crit, so I was thinking something like this:

I know it looks really crappy, and I'm still tinkering with it, but I haven't had a disc-bomb build before. It's not really raid-capability (I'd respec shadow), but I'm thinking it has a lot of solo/pvp benefits. Extra healz, extra crits, etc. Not to mention being able to heal yourself.... :p Yet it still will be able to take advantage of Mind Blast and Mind Flay. What can I say though. I <3 Shadow......
On your level 80 spec though, I'm curious. Why the Improved Vampiric Embrace? Its a Threat-Bomb still isn't it?
I was thinking something more like this.......

To start, the +80 Spirit would give heafty of a +spell if you pickup Divine Spirit to tag along with the +spell you get out of Twisted Faith based on whatever 10% of your Spirit is. I put 1 point into Improved Divine Spirit for +3% Spell added unto +8% being a little better then +10% and a 2% increase in damage for only MB and MF. I figure the +1% increase in SW:P, SW:D, MB, and MF is better than +2% is MB/MF, but I can't say for certain my math would be accurate.......
They took out that one-pot

Too many Shadow talents
Agoney — Wed, 09/10/2008 - 17:55Too many Shadow talents (that we need, imo) to pass on in order to get it. I think with the mana reductions for spells it should cover it.
IIRC, you will only be
starstalker — Wed, 09/10/2008 - 15:32IIRC, you will only be able to use 1 mana pot per boss fight?If that's true, wouldn't you want to pick up meditiation?

Also as a side note Mind
Agoney — Wed, 09/10/2008 - 15:29Also as
a side note Mind Flay is getting an upgraded beam graphic! (Warlocks
will be getting all new beams too, including Chain Heal for Shamans).
Still
some work to do. We're going to be changing Shadow Power to 100% bonus
crit damage to be consistent with other classes, also doing some other
tweaks. We have a bit more work to do with all classes DPS numbers.
