*in old war veteran style* back in myyyyyyyy day, affliction was only taken up for lvling or endgame by clueless muppets, demo was unfinished (as in, the last half of the tree was really really poor stuff) and heavy destro was your only reall choice, even then,. the majority of mobs were fire immune in molten core. The tactic then was just to Curr/CoA (or CoD if you prefered) then spam bolts till the cows come home. ofcourse its all changed since the days of molten core and BWL, which is why im lvling a lock from scratch, rather then transfering my old one, much as i love that guy. the lvling process is, afterall, the 11 days or so where you learn what your doing, if your still clueless by then (ive seen lvl 80 DK's roll on pally healing gear in naxx10 pugs "because its plate, and has more armour then what i got") then you'll never truely know what your doing. anyway. my point is... hmm ive forgotten now. i do like a good story though. and cake. lots and lots of cake. or biscuits. mmm oreo's.
