Back into WoW, need some basic helps

[Gorship 0]

Hi IV folk!

Question for you.. Sorry if these kinds of questions arnt aloud I do apologize.

I have started playing wow again and i just have a few random questions i need help with.

1) Is there a top DPS spec for PVE right now that us locks should be using? I have always been an affliction guy (i love rolling dots) and im being told that Destro is best, then i read charts and and its all over the map. Just confused on whats strongest.

2) is PVP speccing a matter of preference?

3) what ilevel is best for the green fire quest

Those are all I can think of... I tried looking these up via google and other places - nothing was concise so i just wanted to ask and see for sure. Thanks :)

1) there's no strongest atm , "strongest" is demo in BIS gear but not my a huge margin , also in some fights you'd rather play smt else , so really go for what you feel you would perform the best in.

3) 480+ if you're not comfortable with it.

2) IDK if you're talking about actual spec, or talents, but as always the best spec matches your team comp.

Depends on your comp for some talents, for others they're pretty much always better than the rest.

I've seen a lot of different stuff in terms of the sac'ing pet, double demon, supremacy tier.

Dark regen and KJC are almost always taken.

Depending on enemies, Unbound Will and Blood Horror are taken.

Your second tier (CC) depends on your comp's needs.

Your third tier (defensives) I would assume mostly you'd wanna use Sac Pact, but against certain teams I can see Dark Bargain definitely being better.

If talking about RBGs/BGs, IDK which is best, but I'd assume you'd be able to figure it out after farming up some of the honor gear since you just started playing again.

This is all just based on what I see, I don't play a warlock but my 3s partner does, so this is mostly what he has done. Again, I don't personally play a lock, and would suggest you find a warlock to ask specifically, this is just holdover info until someone comes that is more knowledgeable.

EDIT: Definitely would suggest just playing which spec you most enjoy, but making sure to dabble in the others and give them a chance so you at least know if you like them or not.

For sure man - Im going to take the same approach to the pve specs - i levelled with demo just out of habit, trying destro for a bit, then affy then back to demo with better gear and just see, ill do the same approach to pvp depending on what im playing

Appreciate the responses. thanks.
