Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

I've recently made a thread regarding Hunters but while I have my Hunter I want to also switch between another just so I don't get bored(Which is VERY VERY unlikely. I go 6+ hours without stopping since this is my first time playing Vanilla.) and I've decide to roll with Warlock so here's my questions:

1.) Any Warlock Addons that I should have or at least useful?

2.)Any Macros that I need while playing Warlock?

3.)What professions should I go with for Warlock?

The only addon you really need as a warlock is Necrosis. great for spell and shard management

Check viewtopic.php?f=40&t=14455 for my guide. there is a soul shard macro that is very useful

Kotou wrote:3.)What professions should I go with for Warlock?

the only profession that really gives us anything is tailoring. the shadoweave set, felcloth set, and eventually your robe of the void

I highly recommend that guide, it's a great start for any new warlock here.

MACRO 13 "SB" Spell_Shadow_ShadowBolt
/run if (UnitName('target') == nil) then TargetNearestEnemy()end
/script if (UnitHealth("player")/UnitHealthMax("player") > 0.7 and UnitMana("player")/UnitManaMax("player") < 0.8) then CastSpellByName("Life Tap"); else CastSpellByName("Shadow Bolt"); end
END

Shadoweave Armor set
After discovering this set was available and reading about it I invested the time and effort to obtain it. What I found was a bit disappointing and wonder if anyone can shed some light on it. I understood from Vanilla Gaming Data Base the shadow damage is higher then on Nos server. Is this an item issue or have they been nerfed? Or is this a patch issue as in items going up or down due to patch or have not been adjusted?

The total difference in shadow damage being
Vanillagaming shadowdamge = 114
Nostalrius = 77

A bit of a difference.

vanilla gaming shows what the values were in their final iteration before TBC. also, later in the game, some items were changed to become really good. the main example i can think of off the top is the cloth caster belt from BRD arena, Ban'thok Sash. Right now its just a shitty green belt with some garbage stats.
