Problems with my DPS
For some reason, my DPS has been really bad since the patch. I don't know if it is because i respecd as well or not, but it is pretty confusing. So i was wondering if some warlocks out there could look at my spec (In profile), maybe look at my glyphs, and comment on my rotation and give me some info on how to max out my dps. Rotation = Life Tap - Immolate - Chaos Bolt - Conflagorate - Incinerate x4 Rince and Repeat (Raid Bosses get Curse of Doom after 1st Incinerate) Anyone? |

Hi, First I would change your points around just a little bit, you want 2/2 in demonic power as destro---- since the patch we rely on our imp even more if he crits we have 100% chance our next spell will crit). Take one out of destructive reach and put it in demonic power. Also I understand why you want a better health stone but having one point in fel senery is a plus, we want to keep our imp alive at all cost. ( I have 2 points in fel senergy as it is 100% chance to heal our imp/pet for 15% of the spell damage we do) Also consider changing the enchant on your hands, you have 440 hit if you are raiding with a spriest or boomkin it wont hurt you to change it to spell power. ( in a raid situation wiht all buffs you can safely drop to about 370 hit ( I have 378 and never miss) the belt buckle you put on should have the runed scarlet ruby or the new epic Runed Cardinal Ruby - Item - World of Warcraft in it if you can get 2 blue gems to activate your meta which leads me to that................. Consider changing it to chaotic skyflare diamond Chaotic Skyflare Diamond - Item - World of Warcraft. I know threat is a concern but the increase in damage from the chaotic is worth it -----We can Soul shatter every 3 minutes now. Change your cloak enchant to 23 haste (or level your enchanting and put Lightweave Embroidery - Spell - World of Warcraft on it). Other than that I would wait to spend the gold on 10 stats to chest, 63 spell power to weapon amd 30 sp to bracers. Unless you come by the mats fairly easy. Oh yeah one more thing, I dont suggest gemming for crit........either go straight spell power, spell power /haste, or spell power /spirit. (it takes less points of haste then it does points of crit to see an actual increase), there is a formula for it but I cant think of where at the momet that proves gemming for 16 haste instead of 16 crit is more dps You should really level your enchanting it and enchant every item you can that non enchanter cannot such as your rings example Enchant Ring - Greater Spellpower - Spell - World of Warcraft (if you are gonna have it as a professon best to use it to its fullest potential) just like your tailoring (believe it or not the Deathchill Cloak - Item - World of Warcraft is better for us as destro than the one you have on the crit and haste gained make up for the lack of stats it has) if you dont have the achievemt to make it yourself spam trade for someone who can just get the mats first its a good cloak and worth having even if you have to tip someone to make it. Oops almost forgot your glyphs conflag is good Chaos bolt is kinda worthless and for all intents and purposes life tapping is a dps loss for this spec. You would be better of in my opinion with the standard glyphs Glyph of Conflagrate Glyph of Incinerate Glyph of Immolate Well thats it my most humble honest opinion and here is the link to my armory The World of Warcraft Armory take a look if ya want. Remember according to simcraft ( this is from memory ) the most important stat is hit, then spell power, crit and haste are very close---- crit out weighing haste by .10 I feel it best to always try keep my stats balanced but that is just my way of doing it. Be sure to use the grand firestone vs spellstone for destruction. Unless you have lag issues, it is said that conflag should come after immo, but I will be honest, there are times I cast cb before conflag due to aggro issues ( if my imp crits and my conflag just landed and the tank doesnt have enough tps(threat per second) yet, I am gonna have to ss and stop casting)not being mean but with your haste (257) if you are casting 4 Incinerates before your next conflag or incinerate you are probably missing on all important conflag and cb. Remember conflag increases our cast time of all other spells. what addon do you use to keep track of them? On a boss, always cast Curse of Doom first, get it up--get it ticking and forget about it til it's gone then you either recast if you have over 2 minutes left on fight other wise just drop it from your rotation. do not replace with another curse as it is not worth the waste of the most precious cooldown of another spell in my opinion. I know this is long but I wanted to give you as much info as possible  I am far from the best but I do pretty decent dps---over 6k on deconstructor |

Re: Problems with my DPS
I agree with most of what sighmoon is saying except his glyph suggestion. Running simcraft on Trem shows higher dps with glyph of lifetap than glyph of incin. So I suggest: Lifetap Immo Conflag Glyph of Lifetap: Code:

incinerate/life_tap/conflagrate = 7385dps immolate/life_tap/conflagrate = 7332dps immolate/incinerate/conflagrate = 7262dps Those are with my stats. I have a feeling that the amount of spirit you run with may effect this a fair amount. I'm sitting at 595 spirit right now. I have some spirit/haste gear, but I need some hit gear for my destro set to get my spirit up over 650 like my affliction set. Take it for what's it's worth

Re: Problems with my DPS
Also note the other threads about the addon "recount" being bugged. A new version came out today (8/12), this may contribute to your dps loss if you use it. |

Re: Problems with my DPS
I seem to be having some issues maintaining consistent DPS recently. Spec: Affliction 53/1/17 Armory Link: The World of Warcraft Armory Rotation: SB -> Haunt -> Corruption -> UA -> Curse of Agony Pet: Succubus World of Logs for recent Ulduar run: World of Logs - Real Time Raid Analysis and World of Logs - Real Time Raid Analysis I know that I should be able to push out more DPS with my current gear, but no matter how much I practice on a dummy, and what I try to do differently in raid, it always comes out to be the same amount of fail. Any suggestions on what I can work on to try and get the DPS I am capable of? Thanks in advance for any and all help!
