Warlock Stat Priority

Seen many many different takes on this but who doesn't want to come to the Internet to validate their opinion? I am going to consider Intellect generally good and will take it on my gear as it comes, but really what I'm concerned with here is Strength vs Discipline, which sends us to either NM or FWC depending what you agree with. To me, I think Strength wins. In conjunction with "increased melee attack speed" and "melee attacks reduce grenade cooldown" on my gear, plus the Energy Drain talent reducing grenade further, it would seem most important to get the melee cooldown as low as possible. This means you can constantly be feeding one ability into the other! I do agree that this may be way more useful for PvP than PvE however. Now for the Disc argument, I could see going with "grenades reduce melee cooldown" on your gear to help out, and you could potentially while stacking Disc be getting grenades very often, but I'm not sure if I see this angle being as effective. Thoughts?

  • To be honest, my gear has me at 78% grenade, 76% melee, and 25% super and its awesome. I get enough kills, PvP and PvE, to get a super fast enough and during radiance I spam nades and palms. It's crazy.

  • It really comes to how you play. Heavily use your grande or your melee ? For me I like balance when it come to though stats. If you want an idea take a look at my lvl 29 warlock.

  • It's already listed by levels of importance on your stats, in my opinion. Super is obvious, and for a Warlock grenades are very very important. Melee is only going to help with low level mobs and in PVP CQC. Hate FWC colors though. Lol #1 Intellect -- Super #2 Discipline -- Grenades #3 Strength -- Melee

    • I switch my gear out constantly depending on the situation / playstyle. I go a little more strength heavy for the smaller maps and gametypes in pvp, a little more towards int and discipline for the other larger maps. Same goes for pve, but I generally try and stray away from strength for pve because going out of your way to melee a target in a raid or nightfall scenario will usually get you killed. Any way you look at it different stat distributions all have their place somewhere in the game. But as a general rule of thumb I only really stack strength in close quarter pvp scenarios, other than that its on the backburner.
