because im getting nice Dps boost when using
Potion of the Jade Serpent
Other than that im not sure what should i change, any help would be appreciated ;)(##RESPBREAK##)16##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##Moved to the Warlock forum for some class-specific advice.

That sounds good. Also, wouldn't changing your 483 ring for a Shieldwall 496 be a good idea? Also, the 496 boots from Shieldwall would be a good upgrade right?
Cheers.

I would suggest saving the VP for 5.2 unless you're already at 2250+ valor. If that's the case then probably grab the August Celestials bracers or Shieldwall ring.
Other than that im not sure what should i change, any help would be appreciated ;)
Horrible gemming.
Overcapped on hit.
Some enchants missing and some not optimal.
Only 1 ring reforged and it's reforged wrong.
I suggest you take a look at the
Destruction Warlock guide at Icy Veins
.

Hmm yea it seems that it will be better to wait for 5.2 all VP gear will be 25% cheaper ;)

Well...thx for the constructive criticism ;)

I guess you stopped reading after my "criticism" (more like pointing out the flaws). I linked you a GUIDE that clearly tells you how to gem, enchant, reforge and everything else you need to know about playing a warlock. If you bothered checking it out you would know what I said was clearly true.
Also, you're the one who said Other than that im not sure what should i change, any help would be appreciated so don't start crying.
Guess it's better these days to just not even try to help people who are asking for help since all you get as reward is moaning.
Oh and my first character was a warlock back in Vanilla. Later during TBC I started a second one on a different realm and he's been 90 for quite a while now. Also I have another alt warlock at 71 that I made in Cata when I wanted to check out the worgen race.

He gave you advice though; look at Icy Veins and fix your gems, enchants and reforging if you want to do better.
And if you are capped on VP, spend it now, since you still have at least three weeks till 5.2 comes out.

Hmmm....i said thank you right? for pointing out thinks i should change...but telling somebody his doing something wrong is half the job,help is when you tell them how to do things the right way...at least thats how ive been tought ;)

Don't use that site; go to Askmrrobot or Icy Veins, they are much better.

Yeah you said it with a wink which is internet speak for "I don't really mean exactly what I said". Also, again, I linked you a full guide on how to do it right so your argument is invalid.

You've gemmed a lot of hit and as a result you're over the hit cap. How is being over 1% over the hit cap helping your dps? (hint: it's not) Anyways, intellect is your best stat even before hit cap and gems are the best way to get more of it.
There's no excuse for not reforging your gear.
Fear reduction on meta gem is useless and the crit on it is only your third best secondary stat (2nd after getting hit cap but still). when you could just as well use the int + crit damage meta gem for best result.
+10 stats gem on belt is laughable at best. Obviously you don't know that you can put any color gem in a prismatic socket. I might as well assume you don't know about mixed gems filling the colors for socket bonuses either.
Do I need to go on or are you finally catching on and deciding to read and follow the guide?

You didn't follow the guide too closely, or you wouldn't have gone over the 15% Hit. And Intellect is your best stat, so Int/Hit and Int/Mastery is always better than straight Hit and Mastery.
And hasn't Haste always been better than Mastery/Crit for Warlocks?
Cheers.

Upgrade your sha-touched sword with VP. You're not getting anything better without normal/heroic ToES or the 5.2 raid (including 5.2 LFR). Spend the gold to enchant it correctly with Jade Spirit, its a great DPS boost.
Try to continue to minimize haste for mastery.
It certainly looks like you're on the right track though.

will there be any new weapons in 5.2? some say there will some that not
i dont know if i should spend 1400VP upgrading and then 4k gold on enchant
Post by

From the loot tables released, no there will not. There will be no new sha-touched weapons, and that sha-touched gem pushes even the LFR sword over the top. Yes, you probably will get a better weapon in regular/heroic throne of thunder... but you'll want your gear as good as you can get if you plan to be doing that. There will be no upgrades from LFR that top your current weapon.
