Notice a lot of the Warlocks doing mythic progression yesterday were using synergy...

I use Synergy for everything cept Thogar where I use Service because it lines up well with first Train split adds.

[Furyio 3]

I've been using supremacy exclusively through Highmaul and now BRF, going to swop over to Synergy for tonights continued heroic content.

 

I take the differences are minimal enough, but looks to be the popular choice at the moment so figure might as well tag along :D 

[Liquidsteel 279]

Synergy has been the most popular choice on almost every encounter for a while now.

 

On average, both Synergy and Supremacy are close, however good RNG will see Synergy pull ahead, which makes it more fun, and generally the better option.

[Crysant 0]

So what's the reasoning behind people going for synergy instead of supremacy? Is it because many already have the four piece bonus and don't need the extra fury generated by supremacy?

[KoragonArt 0]

It's my understanding that supremecy is only the better option on a fight with constant cleave over the duration.  That way the wrathguard can constantly wail on 2+ targets.  Im only speaking from heroic experience so that just means hanz and franze + maidens.  Even then it's debatable.  Correct me if i'm wrong.

Does anyone know if you gain fury from multistrike hits ?

25% nerf to DB on PTR.....

 

CR+Sac to probably take over ST....rip

See, it's stuff like this that makes me crazy.  Abilities should never see 25% buffs or nerfs.  I like that they waited to drop this in on the release candidate patch, too.

Apparently the reasoning behind leaving destro as an extreme outlier in SoO to not hurt raid teams isn't gonna matter!

Based off my Warcraft logs last night on Mythic Gruul, its about 36k off my average Demonbolt.

Maybe jumping the gun here, but what are you guys planning on running for single target fights if this stays for live servers? Still Demonbolt? If not, what?

From the quick sims i saw popping up on mmochamp, cata is prolly gonna be the way to go when there is more than 1 target (at least if you're bent on sticking to demo), so basically every boss except gruul & blackhand

at least that's what i "think", don't take it for granted ^^

Yes, Cataclysm Demonology will stay strong, which is why I asked about single target. :)

Throwing this out there, but what about servitude in 6.1?

Does HoG stack 3 times? What's the correct way of using the 4-piece set?

It stacks twice.

 

Usually you want to extend the 2 stack as long as possible. With good RNG you can have HoG up for a good 60s into the fight.

 

You can also use it for burst and bank charges to slam multiple Chaos Waves.

The legs logical one, since the legs off iron madiens(non tier) have haste/mastery

 

But iirc my sims said gloves. 

 

But sims are weird. 

 

I'd say legs from maidens as off piece.

I seem to be struggling to play Demo using Cata. If I using DemonBolt I am golden, I use MC SF in caster, keep both dots up, pop into meta for Nuke burn when DB debuff falls off and everything is good. Once I take cata for fights it better on, I seem to have trouble using it right and doing my Meta burn. 

 

Mainly the opener and nuke phase is my struggling part. Timing cata for max benefit I am good at. Just other parts are costing me.

 

For opener how do we open with cata?

 

For nuke do we just go into meta ever Min (with glyph) / 2 min (without) and refresh Doom / use all MC procs then spam ToC until we pop out or how do we handle this?

 

If I am using DB I got demo down, just when using cata + nuke I clueless it seems.
