18 sta 5 stun resist or 5% half time?

[jpz109]

Which do you use? I'm wondering if I should switch over to the 18 sta 5 stun resist meta gem... I have 12K hp unbuffed w/o the 18 stamina, although some games I do notice that the focus procs help a lot when killing a target.

I personally advise Mystical Skyfire as soon as you can afford to lose the survivabilty. 3 second summons and .7 second fears is where its at. Your stats are sufficient and while 200 hp isnt game breaking, 50% shorter cast time can be.

im thinking of making the switch to half cast from stun/stam, got 12.7k unbuffed with stam gem but i still die a lot while focused so not that keen, well you have orc racial stun resist so id recommend half cast for you

Half cast gem for any warlock regardless of race =p, Focus mana drains make my eyes bleed.

5% spell cast in halftime>Any other gem as a warlock

whenever s3 comes out I'm getting my deadweave hood. I'm definetly making the switch from 18 stam to 1/2 cast...12k health+ is when u make the transistion imo

half spell cast is amazing. I can't really express how good it is. If you're nuking someone in 5's and you get a proc its good game. If you and an elemental shaman get it there is an almost certain chance of getting 1 proc every nuke.

Curse of shadow = 5%
Shadow bolt = 10%
Shadow burn = 15%

Chain lightning = 20%
Power Chain lighting = 25%
Also 5% chance on lighting overload.

So pritty much it just stacks chance to own someone if you know what I mean

Mystical Skyfire Diamond is worthy of being a 41 pt talent. Not getting this gem regardless of spec is a very stupid move.
