3.1 I need help with my DPS - Thread #2 (Post Patch 3.1)

With patch 3.1 out, it's time to kick off a new thread. A generic thread that all general DPS questions can be posted to.

For more specific questions, you're own thread is no problem. But a lot of them are based around the "I've got no idea what's wrong with my DPS, please help" type questions, which really, we don't need a new thread each time.

So, if you need help with your DPS, aren't sure why you're not doing as much as you'd like, then please post a reply to this thread. Hopefully, with all the questions and answers consolidated to once place, you might all be able to help each other.

3.1 Re: I need help with my DPS - Thread #2 (Post Patch 3.0.8)

My DPS are rather low at the moment and I really don’t know what to do about it. Any help would be appreciated.

I joined a 25 man raid 3 weeks ago. Before that I farmed my equipment in naxx25 pugs.

In the first two weeks (pre 3.1) I was able to get into the top 5 dps spots without too much problems. Now, after the patch, I’m lucky to land a top 10 spot.

As a direct comparison there is another warlock in the raid, who beats my dps in nearly every fight. I’m about 3,5k boss-dps most of the time, whereas he gets to 4,5 boss-dps. Both of us are skilled exactly the same and his equip is only slightly better, so I must be doing something wrong.

My Char:
Saeryn

Build:
[Build1]0/41/30
[Build2]0/40/31
Doing about the same dps with both, using Build 1 most of the time.

Rotation:
[Build 1] Curse of Elements, Corruption, Immolate, Incinerate ‘till 2 sec before Corruption expires, then Life Tap for Mana and T7 bonus, Corruption, Immolate, Incinerate, and so on. When the Mob gets below 35% I wait for Decimation to proc and the alternate between Soul Fire and Incinerate, and keeping Immolate up.

[Build 2] Same as Build 1 with keeping Conflagrate on cooldown

Selfbuffs:
Fel Armor, Grand Firestone, Flask of the Frostwyrm and Firecracker Salmon

Glyphs:
[Build1] Felguard, Incinerate, Immolate

[Build 2] Imp, Conflagrate, Immolate


And here is the Warlock, whom easily beats my dps in every encounter: Spitzi
He has the same Builds, same Buffs, same Glyphs and (as far as I know) same Rotation as I do (except he uses Curse of Agony and no Life Tap for T7 bonus).
I know that his stats are better than mine, but not 20% more dps better…

3.1 Increasing DPS for Ulduar

Hi Guys!

I've been testing out the different raiding specs available 0/41/30, 0/56/15, as well as deep destro as of patch 3.1 but none seem to best or even come close to my current affliction spec 53/1/17 which on a heroic training dummy i barely make 3k dps using SB>haunt>corr>UA>Curse of Agony rotation. In 10mans with all available buffs i push at most 4k dps. Is there room for improvement for me? ie: change spec, what rotation in diff specs should i use or is it that i need to run more 25mans for better gear? Thanks in advance!

Well, she's been holding up pretty well in XT-002. I'm on trash duty which makes her avoid the light bombs. Haven't been to the other bosses though.

HAHA i hope you are being sarcastic. For people who think hes serious- My succy with raid buffs has 19-20k health. The one point in demo is for fel synergy. The only way the succy ever dies is if there is an aoe which one shots it- which is almost never. In Ulduar 25 man through Iron Council i lost the succy once. It was during the deconstructor boss when i was a bomb and had to run away. As long as your doing good dps, the pet wont die with fel synergy.

3.1 Re: I need help with my DPS - Thread #2 (Post Patch 3.1)

Hi i'm hoping i can get some advise. My DPS is really lacking. In Uldar last week I was only doing around 1400 dps. On the training dummy with both my 41/30 and new 52/0/18 i was only doin around 1900 dps self buffed. I dont have a WWS report or anything because I really dont understand how to work it but i dont think i'm clipping my dots. Could it be a gear issue or am i completely hopeless. Any advise is more than welcome. Thank you very much.

3.1 Re: I need help with my DPS - Thread #2 (Post Patch 3.1)

omg i am so frustrated!!!!

i swear i have changed my spec ten times in the last 2 days, partly because of the patch/server re-sets and partly because my dps so entirely sucks (maybe 1080) that i just dont know what to do. sigh.

so currently (maybe for the next hour or so....lol) i am 0/41/30 in order to get my felguard.

i know my gear isnt great, but find that no one wants to run with a sucky warlock (/cry) so im working on crafted gear.

i have been trying curse of agony, seed of corruption, immolate, incinerate, maybe shadowbolt or soul fire (depending on mana level). then life tap and drain life to re-acquire mana. on bosses i was hitting curse of doom in stead of curse of agony. rain of fire for groups of course.

i am seriously at a loss. i would be thrilled with a constant 2k dps. really, not a high goal here. just adequate would give me great joy.

any concrete suggestions?
thanks!
