Affliction Warlock 7.3

[Guest Maxion]

On some of the affliction guide pages there are mentions of using Havoc, but affliction doesn't have that, right?

[Sibelius 1]

Is there a haste cap?

[Gloomz 0]

So, anyone knows what is the mastery cap for Afflic? I have 103%, any advices?

[Guest Zogwort]

I see the stat priorities, but I cant seem the stat weights, so that I can run sims..What are the actual stat weights for 7.1.5?

[Guest Keldor]

Would Grimoire of Servitude be best pick for single-target if you're currently using Sin'dorei Spite? I hate the thought of having to resummon my Doomguard and wasting a soulshard on boss pull to get the damage buff using Grimoire of Supremacy. Especially since I believe the additional Felhound would benefit from the damage bonus as well.

Not that I am aware of, given that Haste doesn't really work the same way it used to. There is no longer breakpoints where you gain an extra tick of a DoT.

I'm not aware of a specific cap. Simming your character will tell you if you should focus on other stats. It will likely depend on all stats on your gear.

I'm not sure what weights will do for you sims? You use simulations to get stat weights, not the other way round.

Will request for general weights to be added for Affli.

From what I can see, there are plenty of high-parsing warlocks that just keep using Supremacy with the bracers. Have you tried using the talents yet or did you get the bracers recently?

I was playing Demo and after 7.1.5 nerfs to their single target (and only good grimoire talent imo) I decided to switch to Affliction. I've only really run Affliction for PvP. So I'm not confident in using my numbers for comparison and honestly haven't gotten into running sims. So I was asking as a means of quickly acquiring general feedback. I've had the bracers for some time since I was running Demo.

Did some quick sim tests. Supremacy > Service > Sacrifice with bracers.

" The additional mobility from this talent can be invaluable, however, making it the best choice when approaching raid encounters. "

 

word "however" doesn't fit here,,, should be changed

Most likely left over from an old description - I'll get it updated, thanks :)

Guide contradicts itself numerous times. Says to cast reap and drain after two casts of UA, another part of the guide says dump them all unless playing with contagion. 

Also says no matter your build, it is advisable to focus UA on one target, then the paragraph IMMEDIATELY after advises you to keep UA up on all targets.

Can you please tell me the sections that you are seeing these errors under? (the numbers above them and which page)

It helps me to pass on to Furty exactly what needs to be changed. Thanks!

Hi,

I have the legendary belt and I feel it is the worst legy ever as it makes me feel very uncomfortable with my rotations.

Could you please expalin how the rotations should look like?

Thanks in advance.

 

Then I have another question. I have seen in numerous videos, that in ElvUI exists an option to show the soul shards above the nameplates. I liek this feature very much, but I don`t use ElvUI. Which addon provides this ?

[Guest Harook]

Is there any ETA on stat weights coming back for 7.1.5?  As someone that PvPs a lot I'd like to see which pieces will benefit me more even if they are 10 or 20 ilvls down.

Thank you!

Unless you mean World PvP, you should always use your highest ilevel gear when doing battlegrounds or arena, as all your stats are normalized, and then get a slight boost based on your ilevel.

[Guest Guest Hotlock]

Its my first time using the Pawn addon. Are the stat weights for Pawn reliable for affliction warlocks?

I'm not asking for PvP but PvE.  I want stat weights to see if I should use (for example) an 840 piece with mastery and crit or an 865 piece with mastery and versatility.  Depending on the weights of the stats either one of them could be superior.  (This is for PvE, not PvP, I know that PvP scales your gear off ilvl alone).

In recommended addons, Enemy Grid should be there. It gives you the name plates of all engaged enemies in a nice easy to click grid. Way helpful for keeping dots up.

That was amazing back before Blizz put out a patch to stop us using it. You can still be shown all targets but they aren't clickable.

Also, I have found Bough of Corruption to be very powerful as aff.... when it procs

Have you thought of using mouseover macros? If i were to use a grid system to have enemy names in a raid frames like display, id have my dots macro'd to plan keybind being cast on target, but shift keybind casts on my mouseover

You would still use the same rotation, just ensure that UA falls off before reapplying it in step 6. The priorities will still be the same though.

They'll never be completely accurate. You'll need to keep simming your character to find out your own ones.
