4 piece T10 proc problem (Affliction)
I read here that corruption isn't automatically updated with the Devious Minds (4pc t10) buff when it procs. Corruption must be manually reset to get the effect. From that point, the buff would roll with corruption for the duration of the fight. My strategy was to do my normal rotation until Devious Minds procs, then use a wild magic potion, use my Never Melting Ice Crystal, and recast corruption. Every time I do this, I get the, "A more powerful spell is already active" message. This completely wastes my trinket and potion. If I start the fight rolling the crit from the trinket and potion, should I reset corruption when Devious Minds procs? I'm contemplating replacing the trinket with something else and the wild magic potion with a haste potion. |

Use Seed of corruption to wipe your current corruption. It is an absolute pita but it is a workaround. |

Re: 4 piece T10 proc problem (Affliction)
So you would need to cast SoC, then SB to wait for SoC travel and explode and then corruption, making you waste 2 extra cd's for re-applying corruption(although SoC makes decent damage). Other option would be to not cast corruption at all until T10 procs but then you lose maybe 20sec of corruption damage but save 2 gcds. One alternative idea would be to start with corruption rank 9, which is 10% less damage but possibly this allows reapplying without SoC use. I'm not sure which of these options is best but it sure seems annoying issue. Changing trinket won't remove the issue, if you use NMIC you should use it at the same time when applying Devious Minds empowered corruption, so NMIC is still about as good as it was without T10. |

I think that we should use the normal rotation until the Proc breaks and then cast Seed of Corruption and reapply the corruption but before you do that use the Nevermelting Ice trinket and Wild Magic potion. It is something that blizz should fix though......

Re: 4 piece T10 proc problem (Affliction)
I start bossfights like so: UA -> SBx2 ->Haunt -> curse ->Corr yeah, its ass backwards. but that gives me a chance to proc the tier at the start of the fight. yeah, its a small dps loss if it doesn't. but if it does it saves me the stress of waiting for it. |

Re: 4 piece T10 proc problem (Affliction)
I will say this about the 4 piece bonus. It is working as intended because the 10% is a static damage upgrade, not a spellpower upgrade so if you really want to make your eyes bleed to do that I don't want to stop you but don't see the need to try to refresh Corruption in that fashion and I am not even sure if it is an upgrade at all to be honest. |

Re: 4 piece T10 proc problem (Affliction)
Im rolling corruption with nmic and 4pt10, and it´s doing 35-40% of my total damage done, lets say 40% for the math ^^ lets say I have a dps of 8k, then corr would be responsible for 4k*0,8=3.2k dps without the 10% bonus it would only be 3.2k/110*100=2.91k dps, so a loss of 3.2k-2.91k=0.29k dps (=300dps) so 2 global cooldowns for around 300 dps? I can´t imagine how that shouldn´t be able to pay of, unless the fight is almost over or you let corr fall of ofc |

Re: 4 piece T10 proc problem (Affliction)
my warlock has recently become my main raiding character so i'm still learning to play affliction etc. i recently picked up 4t10 and have been playing around with ways to refresh corruption and in practicing the last method (using seed to clear corruption) i came across a weird.. uh turn of events i suppose lol. i ran through the normal rotation wihle waiting for dev minds to proc, when it did i cast SoC and then an sb to fill in the travel time, but as i went to cast sb, nightfall procced. this caused the seed and the sb to hit at same time, refreshing the corruption at the same instant as it was removed. at this moment i had popped trinket and pot yet could not re-apply corruption (more powerful spell active) because it was never removed. has anyone else experienced this? |
