MD/Ruin or How Alk became über without becoming a fire mage

Notable talents: Master Demonologist, Devastation and Ruin.

The advantages of this build are the increased power and utility of your pets -- since such talents as Fel Intellect, Fel Stamina and Unholy Power improve every pet, while Improved Imp/Voidwalker/Succubus improve specific ones -- and great flexibility, as Master Demonologist and Demonic Sacrifice give a wide range of benefits to select from based on the situation. The radical change in specialization can be almost like respending your talent points, and all it costs is a Soul Shard. Also, Demonic Embrace gives you a large stamina boost.

The threat reduction of the imp stacks with the threat reduction of Salvation or Tranquil Air Totems. This combined with Improved Shadowbolt, Bane and Ruin makes for a tankfriendly warlock with high DPS.

Looks like a pretty smart build.

Ohh, this gives me a little thought into how I'll give talent points to marako. Nice Alk, BTW, how did it go in MC w/ this build?

Didn't hit the top 15 overall but on boss fights I was usually in the top 10.

That is impressive. Considering the Top 6-7 usally have enchants on their wazzu! for more damage.
