stats for destruction locks to improve DPS
hi again everyone! there's a post on the "warlock trinkets" thread that got my attention, since it seemed exactly what I was looking for, though a couple commented that it may be outdated for 3.1. I was wondering if we have something similar (updated) that we can rely on, so we can better weigh the contribution of gears we get to our overall DPS. I'm particularly interested in the DPS contribution of the following stats to a destruction lock: hit, spellpower, crit strike rating, haste, and spirit. Currently, I'm using a very simple process of just equating every point from those stats to 1 except for spirit, which I translate to its 0.39 contribution to spellpower (as I have the imp fel/demon armor talent from demo tree). Thanks! |

Re: stats for destruction locks to improve DPS
you may want to try using Bakka's (formerly Leulier's) Spreadsheet. I have found it to be very useful. Warlock DPS Spreadsheet - |

Re: stats for destruction locks to improve DPS
I have a problem with getting this spreadsheet to work properly. When I open it I get an error message refering to a Circular Reference problem. I click on Cancel so I can keep working with it but after working on it for a short while it crashes and wipes out Excel for me. Anyone else having this problem? |

Re: stats for destruction locks to improve DPS
Bakka has a thread over at EJ. You should be able to find your fix there. Leulier's Warlock DPS Spreadsheet - Elitist Jerks |

Re: stats for destruction locks to improve DPS
thanks much madd. thing is though, i'm still trying to get the hang of how it works, and quite frankly, i'm still a bit lost and confused on what numbers i should be looking at.:( isn't there something simpler we can refer to? possibly like: 10 hit rating = 11.11 dps 10 spell power = 13.05 dps 10 haste rating = 6.44 dps 10 crit rating = 4.96 dps 10 spirit = 6.66 dps 10 int = 1.50 dps i might be asking for too much, was just thinking it might be good if there was something like this that everyone can just refer to quickly when trying to decide which gears/enchants to prioritize.

Re: stats for destruction locks to improve DPS
If you want numbers and math try trolling the EJ forums. (You are going to run into a lot of posts saying input your own gear for we all have different current stats and raid makeups that differ from each other) Warlocks - Elitist Jerks It will be beneficial to you to read through the whole thread to get a full understanding of what they are discussing. (PVE raiding 3.1, Mage equivalent, Simcraft 3.1 posts are really good info) Last edited by Maddblazed; May 13, 2009 at 10:50 AM.. Reason: wrong link, fixed |

Re: stats for destruction locks to improve DPS
note that these scalings include the 3.1.2 changes to destruction and I'm a bit puzzled by the value of Int... seems too high... someone checked that? |

Re: stats for destruction locks to improve DPS
The int value on 13/58 is so high because it gets back 2% mana everytime ISL procs, so the more int you have the fewer Life Taps you need and the more time you can spend casting damaging spells. And 13/58 uses the Immolate glyph not life tap, just in case anyone was wondering. |
