3.2 My Rotation with CoD after conflag

I have read tons of forums and threads on rotations. This is my first time actually posting some of my feedback. I have been playing this game since classic and have always been a warlock.

My rotation consists of Immolate>Chaos Bolt>Conflagrate>CoD>Incin Spam

Yes this sounds crazy wasting a haste buff on CoD but when pyroclasm procs you get the 6% added shadow damage...seems worthwhile to me. My Dps is pretty decent i would like to assume. Just sharing a thought, i welcome all criticism.

Re: My Rotation with CoD after conflag

I usually throw cod on the boss first then do immolate chaos bolt conflag and spam incin. I mean seeing that is takes a min for your cod to actually go off are you benifiting from the pyroclam buff? I thought it was only for when the spell actually goes off not when you apply. I could be wrong here just thinking that it may be a waste to waste the haste when that spell is insta anyhow. I am normally pulling around 4k dps in a raid.

They way i understand it is that any buff you have on you when the spell is cast it still benefits from it even 1 minute later.

Seeing as how CoD is only around 300dps out of 6-7k/dps, I don't think it matters much.

Even so i think every little bit helps. Sure it wastes one of the haste casts you get but 6% increased damage is nice.

On another note, do you ever throw Corruption in your rotation..recently i have seen people doing this, seems like a waste of a GcD if you ask me.

If you are on the move and your Life Tap buff is up, your conflagrate is on CD, your curse is up, etc ......... then yeah, htrow a corruption or even a death coil.

3.2 Re: My Rotation with CoD after conflag

Honestly, I usually throw CoD right away because at the start of the fight, I am also working on positioning myself well for the rest of the fight. Throwing CoD after a potential pyroclasm might be "OK" as an optimization, but I think throwing the instants I can cast while the initial pull happens is a better use of time.

In addition, even if I am not moving, the actual CAST of CoD causes very little thread and grants the tank 1 more GCD of being able to generate threat so by the time conflag is cast, it's very unlikely I will pull off of him or her.

As an aside, Chaos Bolt should go after Conflag.

the correct rotation for destruction is CoD(assuming someone else is doing CoE or you have a Boomkin/Unholy DK) > Immo > Conflag > Chaos Bolt > Incin.


I'm not sure why people are posting wrong information here, screwing everyone else up.

Adding corruption to it is indeed a waste of a GCD and should *ONLY* be used when on the run and when you do not need to Life Tap. Life Tap > Corruption.

That being said waiting until after your conflag in a fight that's 6+ minutes will result in a net loss of Chaos Bolts compared to Conflags.

People for the love of god please quit making this forum bad and posting information that's incorrect!!

*edit* and not using the haste buff for a Chaos Bolt makes me cringe.

Most people are going to see 15-19k CoD ticks, that amounts to an additional 15-18dps.
