Re: Destro rotation
While repositioning conflagrate>curse>life tap>corruption. Using corruption any where else in your rotation is a dps loss. |

I've seen parses from lock applications who use corruption in their deep destro rotation, and I have rarely seen that corruption or curse of agony (if the fight isn't long enough for CoD) is really worth the time compared to the crit+hit average damage of getting something like an incinerate off. While it's true that incinerate takes a longer cast time, it really does pack a whallop when you take that into account. Just looking at an Ignis parse (one of the few fights in guild I see corruption used -- you can pop it when coming down off flame jets), I see the average full duration corruption being 954*6 = 5724 damage. Whereas for this same warlock who in practice had about a 50% crit rate on his incinerates let off about 8908 damage. If you take into account 'cast time' of corruption being a GCD, then 5724/1.5 = 3816 and 8908/2.25 = 3859, you can see incinerate wins. Chaos Bolt also wins with a final calculated figure of 4798 in that warlock's parse. And by the way, that is even assuming that the corruption will run its full duration which it might not. In any case, corruption is OK to use if your on the move with nothing else practical to do, but really most deep destro locks shouldn't have it as part of the regular rotation. If you are suffering from a tiny lag between immolate and conflag, eating that lag once is "OK" and not really a huge DPS loss. I can't believe the lag is really that huge for you and that your rotation is so consistent you'll have to eat that lag more than once which over the course of 5 minute fight is really nothing. As an aside, a lot of times people have different key bindings for different specs and the muscle memory of how your fingers are used to rotations can also make a DPS difference. I would not be surprised if someone was used to inserting corruption if their DPS would go down or up based on key binding of some sort of dissonance with their memorized rotation. Or if they were used to using corruption in some other context such as on the run in PVP. |

I normally do Imm/curse/conflag/CB/inc/inc/conflag but on trash don't even use corruption if anything I use seed of corr and rain of fire, i don't see where it would hurt during boss fights though if you squeeze it in great if you missed not deal breaker i feel... wish they would let you use corr and seed of corr together something like immo and conflag Last edited by allak; August 25, 2009 at 03:18 PM.. |

Re: Destro rotation
Hello. I am author of the easyDestro addon. I see that many thinks that using this addon is a fail and is better to watch 3 other addons and combine the information in your head and decide what to cast than to just see what you have to cast now and next spell and watch more to the fight environment. My warlock is my alt and got to 80 about 3 weeks ago. I was a bit bored about my main and I never played a warlock before so I leveled this one to have some fun. When I got to 80 I start looking for spec/rotation/addons. I found out fast that destro is the highest dps spec and the rotation is quite simple, but when I tried suggested addons I got dizzy. So I wrote one to show me exactly what I have to cast. After was ready I thought that is a good idea to share with others. It is not perfect, I could add more features, but for now is doing the job. I would like to hear some feedback backed up with some arguments, not just "worst addon ever" Thank you |

Re: Destro rotation
I can't believe that people are still confused over the destruction "rotation" Go check EJ forums if you don't believe us. Corruption should ONLY ever be used on the move assuming your conflag or curse isn't up or you don't need to life tap. That is the only time you should use it. I don't know how many times this needs to be stated. Also, casting Chaos Bolt in between Immolate and Conflag is a dps loss too. It's not just the time you have to wait to conflag limiting the ability to ge off 2 conflags in that first round but also the backdraft haste lost on your CB which could in turn be another conflag at the end of a fight. For anyone wondering priority: Immolate>Conflag>Chaos Bolt>Incinerate If your dps is going up using corruption then you should probably go work on the practice dummy some because this shouldnt be happening. |

Re: Destro rotation
You guys were right (and my skada needed updated). Corruption is a DPS loss. Absolutely. The only time you should use it is when you have to move or to maintain stacks of the Illustration or Broodmother's Eye. |

Re: Destro rotation
Now when i was first learning Warlock mechanics i used something Called Spellpriorty its an add on very similar to this one i just used it to learn proper roation, timing, and what to watch for in a way these are very helpful but once youve been raiding for a couple months they tend to get annoying and the traditional way is funner so IMO if your just learning the class use it if yur experienced youll hate it |
