Yes, you are right, because it shows the true potential of a given class. Now who has the blinders on?

Edit: btw, you can click the little "(more)" and see the top 25 for a broader perspective.

I'm sorry you cant see the fallacy of judging a class played by millions based on the efforts of an elite few.

Re: Good gear...bad DPS

The problem I have is this, I hit cod then immolate, chaos bolt, conflag and incinerate over and over. Somewhere in between I will hit immolate so that I can hit conflag as soon as it is ready. My dps can top out around 4500 up to about 5k. Then it drops down into the 2k to 2.5k range and it will not rise up again. I have also tried coe instead of cod it just does not seem to matter. I have no choice but to wait on the conflag cooldown. Can anyone help me with this? I have not a clue as to why it drops down and stays there.

Re: Good gear...bad DPS

Hi guys
In my efforts to sustain a good dps.. I really like most of the answers although there is still one
question that is unanswered is there such a thing and what are the affect of to much hit. I have no points in suppention and my hit is 430 @ 16.39% now after reading alot of your guy's infor I thinking I'm screwed. I do okay dps and better damage overall my dps is always at 2.5-2.8 and i hardly ever see 3k or higher in Uld, TOC 25 or 10. now a lock friend in the same guild pretty much same gear
always tops the charts at 6-6.5k which seem odd. But it must be the operator and not the gear...lol

stats are as follows:
bonus damage:2024
hit rating:368 or 14.03% i do have suppression so that puts me up to 17%
crit chance:26.85%
haste: 330

also here is my rotation:
Corruption, CoE, Life Tap, Immolate, Conflagrate, CB, then spam incinerate, then i rotate between immolate conflagrate and CB when they recharge and corruption when i need to
here is the link to my character
The World of Warcraft Armory

This may have been mentioned, but I want to know; If you are ToC geared then why are still carrying the 3 points in Affliction? As I understand it, those points are merely if you are low on hit rating. If you are geared well, should't you be specced at 15/58 (Like most Locks on here I have noticed)?

Rotation should be
COD, Immo, Conflag, Spam Incinerate until 1 sec left on Immo then put Immo bak up and spma Incin again until Conflag comes back up
Basicall use nothing but Incinerate but keep Immo and COD on target and use Conflag at every CD

Do NOT waste a GCD or any time using Chaos bolt or Corruption, they only take time away from the very important crits you get from Incinerate. The more times you can squeeze in incinerate, the better - but keep IMMO UP

On a side not - the only time you need to worry about COE is if your raid does NOT have anyone who can fill that debuff on the mob - (ie Boomkin druid,etc) as our CoE does not stack with theirs, and theirs is automatic

I know i am asking for it here, because you do have awesome gear and obviously are better than I am - but Jenren, why do you have the CoE Glyph when you dont have the spell?
