The dps boost ensures #1 damage done on the fight for me.

NOTE: I wish we could still release our infernal so that everyone could crowd around him, get the fire damage from his aura and get the stacks.

Wish I could say the same. Our Arcane mage still crushed me despite me getting Empowered Light/Darkness twice in the fight. Incanter's Absorption is just too perfect for this fight.

Arcane mage dps is ridiculous. They went from the QQ I is FTSuk dps mage in Ulduar to WTFPOWNZERBBQSAUCE dps now.

Re: Amazing Twin Valkyr warlock exploit.

I'm a bit disgusted at how much threat warlocks pull and comparing it to Mages... wtfiknoright? dps and all...

On another note, does anyone know if the this is a legit thing to do or is a suspend-able offense?

To some degree on the threat side, you and others are doing this to yourself with your spec. You should spec 3/13/55 not 0/13/58 or at the least put 2/2 into destructive reach and take it out of ISL.

3/13/55 will draw much less threat because it has 2/2 destructive reach built in. Also, healing yourself with soul leech also draws healing aggro which is mitigated in the 3/13/55 spec.

3.2 Re: Amazing Twin Valkyr warlock exploit.

I had strange results with this

fyi, we used this recently and the stacking appeared to function as described. that being said, i dont think this will need to be nerfed.

My reasoning behind this is that there were three locks in the raid, two of them used this technique and I did not. Nobody died in the raid and I came out on top in dps. Neither of the other locks were newbs and in fact were quite uber. My only thought is that either it was nerfed and the stack building somehow doesn't count for nearly as much when out of combat, or perhaps when you switch auras the stacks fall off?

I doubt seriously that this would result in a lasting ban on the account. maybe a 2 week or 48 hour. They read player forums in their "free time" so chances are they know about it.

Probably just timing. Or could depend on how many stacks they got. Each tick of Hellfire adds 1 stack, so you have to Hellfire for quite a while. Also, did you Bloodlust when most of the group got Empowering Light/Darkness? We did this last week, also had 3 'locks. We all stacked to ~70 and when the first wave of orbs came out we got Empowering Darkness. We started out with the light, stacked up to 70 then switched to Dark and the stacks did not fall off. I ended up getting Empowering Darkness again near the end of the fight. So it works but isn't going to be earthshatteringly different, especially if you normally 'lust about the time the majority of people get Empowered.

Re: Amazing Twin Valkyr warlock exploit.

I've noticed with this that my damage is good but my DPS is screwed, does recount some how consider the fight as started when hellfiring.
