Haunt vs Demonic Sacrifice

Snifles · August 03, 2008, 12:02 AM

Been playing around with some affliction builds and i noticed that DS seems to be better then haunt dot damage wise, which is odd. Haunt is supposed to grant 20% extra damage for 12 sec to all dots and DS 10% to shadow damage. Consider the following screens

I am getting 635 corruption ticks and 597 UA ticks with haunt activated. This is with the following build:
Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

Now, in the next screen I get the following:

682 corruption and 641 UA with a succy sac'd with the following build:
Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

with only 2/5 everlasting affliction. With 5/5 everlasting affliction, dot damage will be even more. Note the level cap in beta is currently 77. Granted no pet damage is added in, but the 20% added damage from haunt does not include SB spam, where as DS does.

Haunt doesn't work yet, that's why.

plus isn't Dem Sac only going to last 30 seconds?

Nah, they reverted that change again, back to the "old" style DS with slightly nerfed buffs.

I was getting the initial damage and the healing back, which was marginal so I assumed I was getting the 20% but apparently not. Wish there was a list some where about what is working and what is not. Makes it difficult to test these things.
