Temptation warlocks

Well, i reached 4k item level a few weeks ago and switched to temptation. Ive got to say, i really like it so far. I leveled from 60-70 as damnation. Geared up to 3500 iL then went fury. All paths are viable and situational for dps. However, temptation seems to be more consistent as far as damage goes. No one complains about my damage anymore saying i rely on bugs and glitches. But guess what? Im still topping leaderboards. Not only for paingiver but for most heals as well. That i dig. Only issue i have so far is in edemo... i seem to pull aggro from demogorgon no matter what type of tank is kiting him. Resulting in me dieing more often than not. Any other temp locks suffer from this?

    I have a 3.2 temp lock. I tend to pull aggro a lot more then I am used to. (Main spec is damnation). I find it very fun to play. I don't do as much damage as said pet spec, but I have no problem solo healing cn or any other dungeon. I find that when I use warlocks bargin I get a little frame freeze. I also like pissing off most of the healing cleric ( how's a warlock beating me in healing done)

    The heals you spew out in eDemo are massive due to the party buffs. You probably know this, but your outgoing healing is based on a percentage (life steal chance) of the damage you do. Therefore, when you're throwing out 500,000-1,000,000+ soul scorches, Demogorgon comes straight for you. I have tried equipping an owl, but it does nothing. There's nothing you can do until the damage+healing threat mechanics are adjusted.

    I throw on shadow walk and just zoom away from him. Shadow walk with gladiatorse guile...you are the fastest thing around.

    yup, exactly what I do... until the purple line of death hits me and there are no enemies to damage to keep me alive, lol... kinda hard to heal when running away constantly. oh well, still more fun than damnation or fury.

    You can run, but you cannot hide! :)

    Eventually your stacks (madness?) build up and demo starts charging, beaming, and swiping at you = campfire.

    The best defense is a bubble (obviously).

    I think eleven battle better for a warlock just by what I've read in the class changes, 80% resistance to slows, immobilizes, stuns, disables and 30% stamina gain has more beneficial effect than negation, the extra stamina gain is awesome, I like the shadow slip changes, Id like to be able to maintain that if I need to.

    In edemo do not use TT on the first mob. Just use dailies. If you do this and have a decent tank you can then use your normal rotations after first mob is done without pulling threat. Also I would like to add that the Negation enchantment is way better then the elven battle. The recovery alone is huge. When playing pve you should not hit any slows mobilize etc etc as you are doing ranged damage. The only one that will occur is the stun from edemo. One vampiric embrace and you are at full health after.

    Just slot a purple bear cup adding 75% ls for x seconds and kite demorgorgon all day.
    I liked temptation also most of all trees but switched to damnation for fast farming aspect, yes boring but fast.
    I gonna test HB temptation asap, actually not knowing if it provides extra LS...maybe too squishy with out constant healing from BT?
    Never thought about using vampiric embrance being temptation, damage =heal
