I see…
The reason why I was thinking about shadow2 instead of lock2 is because lock2 doesn’t give any important new skills. The benefit i see for lock2 are mainly more damage to pole of agony, mastema, and full up time invocation.
Shadow 2 gives more damage to the single target skill (4 overheat one) which i thought might be important since elementalist is AoE by nature. Also that create shadow orbs skill looks good too.
I’m leaning more toward warlock2 after hearing what you said. I don’t have a warlock yet, so I wanna ask you, is invocation super important? To the point that full up time is a must?
Thanks.
