Re: please help a frustrated lock
I do that because my conflagrate isnt availalable immediately, so instead if standing around waiting i cast incinerate then conflagrate (and yes I dont know why it isnt available...maybe because i have not understood the basics!) |

Re: please help a frustrated lock
Hellow longsoxs! I can see that your currently maxed out on +spell hit rating with a wooping 458 (Armory says 454). If you are raiding 25-man content on a bigger scale than your attending 10-man raids, then I will suggest one of two things: Being in 25-man raids, you usually have a Shadow Priest or a Moonkin Druid in your raid, both of which provide +hit buffs, if talented. Shadow Priest buff: Misery Moonkin Druid buff: Improved Faerie Fire The two of these buffs do not stack with eachother, however they lower the hit-cap to 368 +spell hit rating, As I see you have a human warlock, you are likely to have the benefit of Heroic Presence which will further provide you with 1 % hit, lowering the total amount of hit rating required to 342. More information on this subject can be found here: What's the Hit cap Mr. Wolf? As you get lower requirements on hit rating, you are free to use the itemization to yout benefit, stacking spellpower instead of hit rating. I will suggest that you keep two sets of gear, one for 10-man (since you can't always expect to have a Spriest or Moonkin in a 10-man raid) and another for 25-man (or for when you know you have the Spriest or Moonkin in your raid). My priority-list is Life Tab > Curse of Doom > Immolate > Conflagrate > Chaos Bolt > Incinerate I haven't been reading up lately, but I remember that there was a discussion about fitting in an incinerate inbetween Immolate and Conflagrate, because a little casting time is wasted. I must warn you, what I'm about to say may very well reduce your DPS rather than increase it, however I feel and think that it's marginal. To counter-act the problem of having wasted casting time between Immolate and Conflagrate, I waited with applying Curse of Doom in the initial cast-sequence, and I fit it in right between Immolate and Conflagrate, that way I am still able to get two Conflag's off at each Immolate. Curse of Doom is an instant cast, so it won't clip the difference between Immolate and Conflagrate as much as starting to cast an Incinerate. But to be honest, I really don't know what's best, but I would imagine that, since Conflagrate provides Backdraft, you would want to have this buff up as much time as possible, therefor I have went back to use Conflagrate right after Immolate. Keep me posted with your progression! - Let us know what helped and what not. Good luck |
