Hi! Returning player here (quit quite a while ago)
There’s any viable spec build from Affliction or Destruction that would let me use the Sayaad?
It’s my favorite pet, but looking at the talent trees, I can’t figure out whether or not I would be gimping myself with it. Granted, I don’t plan to do things like very advanced mythic+ keys or mythic raiding.
Thanks!
The new talent trees are very complicated. I suggest you click the “standard build” in the lower left corner and go with that. I’m leveling a warlock and don’t feel gimped using any pet using the standard talent build. If you want to look into specific talents, you can always do that when you hit 70.
I equate the “standard builds” to the builds from previous expansions that didn’t use talent trees - serviceable for most situations.
The trees now are pretty easy to tweak and you can also have alternative trees “pre-built”.
I’d recommend starting with the default trees and slowly making tweaks to them to tune your gameplay. You can create back-up trees if you think you may want to roll some selections back.
Oh I understand it, I was just curious to know whether or not the pet selection of Destro or Affliction would have a big impact on my dps in the end.
I’m pretty sure most “optimal” builds not demonology are using grimoire of sacrifice to get the pet ability they need for the content, e.g. an interrupt.
