Am I right in thinking they can load up three spells in chambers and instantly fire them? They can also cast spells without chambers and heal?

There is a 2 second timer between firing each one and they take quite a while to reload too. They can do pretty much everything under the sun but they have to pre-load it if they want to.

Spreadheal, nearsight, lifetap, PBAoE, DoT etc are secondary spells.
DD, Bolt, uninteruptable primer, powerless primer, extended range are primary spells.
the two low level chambers can be loaded with DD + 2ndary spell of your choice (heal, ns, dot etc)
the lev. 30 chamber which wls with 30wc specc have can be loaded with a bolt as primer and a secondary spell of your choice.
chambers can be fired instantly but have a 2sec recast timer, meaning
chamber1 <wait 2 sec> chamber2 <wait 2 sec> chamber3. you've to stand still to fire chambers by the way.
they're able to fire a chamber at the same time a regular spell (dd+bolt for example) lands.
extended range extends their spells to 2225 range (top of head, might be diff), but since ui, powerless and extended counts as a primary spell, they can only extend the range of secondary spells, DoT is the most common I believe.
uninteruptable cast is like moc but then again it counts as primer, still you can fire 5 uninteruptable lifetaps at a full powerbar (depends on pp I believe)
powerless primer is on a 4.3 sec casting time but allows you to cast a secondary spell at regular range but zero powercost (= free heals).

any questions?!

tak said only the nooblocks got 3 chambers, speccing as 2 chamber is much more lethal ^^

No Mazzaca I think that covers it. I will not be giving them free rp's from now on, one on one unless they have no chambers and are sitting down alone, afk.......

it's either XX (it's a variable, I don't really mean XX) Hexing and 30 Witchcraft or 20 Witchcraft 50 Hexing. I think Aimstar is using the last specc I mentioned. Both seems somewhat solid, I'm not -ze- pro when it comes to WLs anyway, but 50 Hexing gives you PoM20, red PBAoE (Better delve than suppsm one afaik), red nearsight, a 255 delve (instead of lev. 43 225 delve) lifetap, a better DoT, and a 225 delve (instead of 180 delve lowbie one) spreadheal. What you're losing when speccing 50Hex is one chamber (the lev. 30 one since you specc 20wc, so only two chambers) and abit more pow% wasted per uninteruptable lifetap which doesnt really matter tho, less range extension and a worse powerless cast (longer casttime).

I guess both speccs are viable.

and btw Elajt, I think "Just hope you dont miss PA and CD lands!" exactly describes how you killed me yesterday when I was chambering on a friends warlock, Flares :(

red pbae is not better than sm one mazzacca.
Chambers can not be fired while moving.
Using powerless or extended range primer while standing still and then casting a secundary spells works when moving. This will be changed in 1.74.

I have a 37 WL myself and from what I know most WLs go for 2-3 chambers
and rest mainly in hex right?

So far I've been putting most in curse, got 8 in witchcraft for 1 chamber and
is very satisfied with it, but as final spec, what do u recomend?
I was thinking of trying the following spec;
36 curse and 40 witchcraft = 4 chambers with 1875 range 325 dmg bolts.
OR
36 curse 30 witchcraft and 26 hexing = 3 chambers with bolts, secondray with
130 dd LT or 53 DOT.

Suggestions and ideas?

44hex/30wc 50hex/20 wc are the only speccs that're considerable imo. Anything involving specc cursing is kind of a major gimpage for your char.

At rr5 with my lock im seriously considering 36 curse 20 witch 34 hex as a spec with some MoF should work out nice.
