You are confusing the hell out of me, gentle soul.

 

First, KTT = Kardris' Toxic Totem.  Trinket from Dark Shaman bosses.

 

What do you mean your stats aren't adding up exactly?  You should definitely be looking at spell stats.  Us warlocks are spell casters.

 

As for mastery, are you sure you're looking at the same specs?  15,000 mastery for Destruction is a different percentage than 15,000 mastery for Demonology.

Never look at my armory.  I do weird things all the time.  Follow the guidelines written out here.

 

I LEGIT had someone ask why I was using a Safari Hat and the Timeless Isle trinket.  Please don't look at my armory.  I do weird things all the time.

But your armory says you use Mr.Whiskers as a battlepet, I was doing so to increase my dps! :(

Spell Hit (?)
15.20%
15.20%
Crit (?)
19.18%
13.22%
Haste

If your numbers are different, then you should reload your armory and re-optimize. Odds are very good you're off. I've never once seen AMR's stat calculations be off by more than 1 point (which is due to rounding with PBI).

Hey all,

 

Should be a pretty easy and quick question for someone to clear up.....

 

When you fire off a CB, does it use your stats from when its released or the time when it hits like HoG?

 

i.e. Should you be timing to fire your last CB off just as the trinket finish's procc'ing, or timing it to hit the target as the Proc ends?!

 

Cheers!

I have inv_helm_cloth_raidwarlock_n_01.jpgHood of the Horned Nightmare and I also have inv_helm_cloth_raidmage_n_01.jpgHood of Swirling Senses

 

Do I go for the 2pc Destro bonus or do I go with the better warforged item? I know 2pc is crappy compare to 4pc but for time being. my goal is to get T Shoulder, Chest, and Legs - I got hands and use the Warforged Helm as Mr. Robot says its BIS for me (only counting normal) 

Stats - 4.6 Mastery, 4.5 Crit - and I put Haste to .01 so I would get all mastery/crit gear - should I change the stats. Robot right now has me using the Flex THelm over Warforge helm so I have 2pc right now, what do you guys think?

If youre destro only, I would use WF Helm, until you can throw together a 4 piece.  The secondary stats are better, and theres about 300 more intellect on it as well.  2 piece is amazing for Affliction, but not so much destro.  Destro shines with the 4pc.  If you go Affi as off-spec...use both.  Tier for affi, and WF for destro.

Destro's opener involves getting two Chaos Bolts in your first 10 seconds.  Do whatever you must to make that happen.

 

any advice? :s using PBI and BBoy.. always short of embers for the 2nd cb =(

Dark Soul your Immolate, Rain of Fire, Conflagrate, Incinerate a couple times. You have 4-5 seconds before BBOY gets adequate to squeeze two Chaos Bolts at high stacks, which is plenty of time to get a few Incinerates off for the second ember.

Why would you waste Backdraft*** stacks in your opener? You have plenty of time to get two chaos bolts off because you have your meta gem proc (30% like Backdraft would provide) and possibly Heroism and/or Berserking if you're Troll.

 

No bueno.

I disagree.  I get about 4 CB's off in my opener.  Occasionally I'll even luck out and get Toxic Power to proc back to back.  I pretty much always use my 2nd and 3rd Conflag to push out more CB's, because with all those buffs that's the best damage you're going to get.

For trinkets I have breath of hydra (prefer it over Wooshoo) and LFR bindings from Immersus.

 

My opener is thus:

 

Pot - Synapse Springs - (Blood Fury - Dark Soul) <--- those two are macro'd so I press 1 button - Immolate - Conflag X2 - then as many Incin's I need til I get 2 chaos bolts and THEN I throw out my Doomguard.  

 

Is the above right?  I wonder if I should get my doomguard out a bit earlier with all my procs up or just not worry about it.

Looks good, but yes, I would definitely get your Doomguard out with the rest of your CD's (DS/SS).
