I hardly ever cast CoE 'cause there'll be almost always Owlkin or DK who can provide just the same. Don't know what's exactly DKs Skill/Cast (something like ebon plague???), owlkin's Earth & Moon ist useful to skill and a passiive Skill thereafter, proccs 100% with crits an lasts for 12 s, hardly ever one of those owlkins in raids doesn't crit for 12 s. ;)

Just to be less off topic: Being RL I don't care about trash damage/dps nor about Boss dps. Mobs don't die by dps, they die by damage! Casting an instant spell followed by quick digital suicide is the best way to top dps meter. ;)

3.1 Re: Damage vs DPS, please help

Thricena, uglyone and Jenren22 memos has intriged me.
My character, Wytchess on Eu-Lightbringer, has
SP=2063 before Fel Armour
Hit=394 + 3 in suppression
Crit=17%
Haste=296
I have no Tier bonus, but my gear looks as good on stats at the T7.5 set
Using Affliction 53/1/17 rotation with an imp out on a heroic training dummy I only 2600-2800 DPS
I use lifetap(rank1)+pet attack: shadowbolt: Haunt: UA: Corruption: Curse of Agony: Shadow Bolt.
I then keep up, in priority, Haunt, UA, Curse of Agony, ( corruption refreshs off the haunt)
I try to keep 6 dots up, but occassional it falls to 5, before I can refresh.
I use Shadow Bolt as a filler, until 25% when I use Drain Soul.( On a dummy I dont use it as that may trick the figures)
I try to lifetap(highest rank) every 20sec but usually It may slip to 30secs if something more important is refreshing.
I cast shadowbolts in the red area of quartz timer so I think the above info shows I should be doing everything correct to get
maximum DPS. 2600-2800 looks very low on a dummy. In raids on a single target (say Patchwerk with draeni buff + misery +DG ) I dont get more than 3000DPS.
So what should my DPS be?
What should a T7.5p4 DPS be on a dummy and does it make that much diference against the gear I have?
If you have T7 /7.5 gear in your bank try this out and let me know what your max DPS is on a heroic dummy.

Use succy and only life tap as needed, plus I think you only need 2 in suppression.

That's the short version, not much more to say without a link to your armory.

Thanks Evictoray. I agree succy is recommended and should be used by I don't think with will provide 500+ DPS over an imp, ( I will test) Additional info. I use haste spellstone, with haunt, Curse of Agony and lifetap glyphs ( hence the LT every 20secs)

Just some minor stuff, but ....

  • replace head with PvE head
  • replace meta gem with chaotic skyflare
  • +15 spirit to chest
  • +63 SP to weapon
  • +50 SP +20 spirit to legs
  • +19 SP to rings
Since you're over hit cap, move 1 point out of suppression and into Imp Drain Soul, you could also move 1 point out of Amplify Curse and into Fel Concentration.

Succy is a dps increase.

Life tapping for the buff is a dps decrease.

Agreed I tryed cyling in Corruption as its insta seems to fit Was told by a fellow warlock whos doing 5k+ dps in raids, to spam incinerate while waiting for Chaos Bolt and Conf.
