TBC Classic Affliction Warlock Aldor or Scryer

We recommend going Aldor as a Destruction Warlock in TBC Classic. The Aldor shoulder enchant,
Greater Inscription of Discipline
, is a little stronger than the Scryer
Greater Inscription of the Orb
. You will miss out on the
Scryer's Bloodgem
and
Seer's Signet
.
