Destruction Warlock 7.3

What's the priority list when using the Eradication talent? What all should you be casting once you buff the target?

You will want to empower your Immolates using the debuff, otherwise just play as you normally would.

Will we see stat weights anytime soon?  At the moment im being forced to used the ones from noxxic.  I was hoping with the buffs to mastery that mastery stacking would be better. 

[Guest Bugcatcher]

I think I caught a bug.

Tier 5 (Level 75) Talents

Burning Rush tool tip says 4% of max health, but text says 5% max health below.

Stat weights are a bit fluid and player/gear dependent so I've taken them down until we have something reliable to post. Mastery stacking is still a poor choice until you get the T20 4-piece, where it becomes your best stat by a near margin.

Just further to what Furty said above - it's worth using SimC to check your own weights, since they will differ from the general weights as well.

Passing this on :)

Do you care to explain a little more on Chaos Bolt usage? Do I need to cast it as soon as it's available or do I need to save up 4 shards and then dump them? Does it change with Eradication?

This is discussed in the guide:

• Maintain eradication as much as possible.
• If there is a burst window coming up, save shards to ensure maximum burst in a short period (such as the Gul'dan active ability or your personal CDs, such as a trinket or so).
• If no window is approaching, use CB as the rotation priority describes.

Hope this helps :)

Do you think we can try to maximize mastery against haste/crit since mastery is not full rng anymore ? I know that with the new 4P, it'll be the case but can't we do it right now ? 

Also if haste has to be prioritized, is there any cap we have to reach ? I'm currently with nearly 35% haste but would i need to got it up ? 

Thanks

3.2. Havoc Usage

Havoc is one of your most important spells. Havoc copies any of your direct spells,

" however, it does not affect the Soul Shard generation of Conflagrate (i.e you still get 1 Shard). "

 

Wrong, on both the shard generation and the shard (instead of shard bit) generation.

 

" Havoc is typically unaffected by range or line of sight requirements"

 

Wrong.

 

Also can you please replace the boss examples in the guide with Legion ones? Mentioning Tyrant Velhari from HfC, for example, won't say much to new players.

Of course you can, your damage will just suffer somewhat until the 4-piece is obtained.

Is the medallion better in all fights or would you take a over 900 whispers?

I'm seeing people pair it with whispers if they had erratic metronome before for example.

[Guest Peacelock]

no aoe section in rotation?

[Guest Bibby Bloxberg]

Gems-Section still suggests to socket int/haste.

Isnt it as follows?

no setbonus: haste only

4set bonus: mastery only

Thanks for reply.

4-set you use Mastery yes.

Can we please get the boss by boss strategies for ToS please.

It's coming but it takes a little bit of time, as I have a lot of my plate with the constant updating of the guides themselves due to the ever changing nature of progress (discovering new builds, item interactions, etc.). Usually I get around to the boss specific advice once Mythic progress is over, as I have a much better idea and hundreds of pulls to draw inspiration from rather than just guesses in the dark.

Should we still be using mark of the claw after we obtain our tier 20 4-piece? Or should we switch to hidden satyr at that point? With haste no longer being our top stat I would assume satyr is better. Also I was curious about eradication vs empowered life tap, with our chaos bolts being so much stronger  with our 4 set would eradication now be the better choice for single target dps?

I think Claw is still on top, even with the stat shift - you can test it with https://www.raidbots.com/simbot for your character to be certain, though.

As for the talents, yeah, Eradication would be best for single target, with ELT becoming better with a higher number of targets as you can't maintain the debuff on more targets. 

[Guest odinspear]

Excellent also I forgot to ask before about enchants. I saw above that we should be using mastery gems with the tier 20 4-piece. Does that apply to enchants and consumables as well?

Yes, Mastery becomes highest priority.

, Cooldowns and Abilitie

Reverse emapthy or whatever is wrong, it's 10 % damage not 5%

[Guest odinspear]

I went to the raidbots website as you suggested previously and used it to generate stat weights for my character. The results I got prioritizes haste and crit over mastery.  Here is the string https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/jG1ZmzhWLzVNTxY7KX4bQz 

As this is most definitely not what is suggested in your guide I was hoping to get some insight.
