MoP Warlock Guide

[Tomchy]

Hey Spark, first of all thank you for this great guide. I was wondering about the pull. I know you say in your guide that you should cast your DoTs first (through soul swap) and then haunt but i sometimes cast haunt first ( i'm still experimenting) and sometimes i pull more dps at the pull then when i cast my dots first. It probably depends on the procs that i get but i would still like your opinion ;).

I was also wondering about the trinkets.

I know you are kind of busy right now with the progress and everything so there is no hurry ;)

Sparkuggz, when I tested on SimCraft, Haste and Mastery were about equal, not including the spikes from hitting DoT thresholds. Do you know why this is, or if there was a mistake in your iterations?

[Sparkuggz]

Thanks for your answer, but when you say 10% haste for raids, you mean 10% unbuffed or buffed?

It seems I unlearn how to play with my lock :< I always pawn on meters and world of logs and now I don't know what's up with my skill, gear, motivation...

I will let you here my parses and my armory if you have time to check and help.

Elegon tries was a disgrace, the try we killed boss it was /care for this s..., sorry my expression. I did some many mistakes because I was super distracted and unmotivated.

The others locks from my guild are pushing more because their gear?

You refresh your dots 1 sec before it fades, or whenever you wanna use haunt you refresh them and use Malefic Grasp to benift from it(Haunt) fulltime?

Since it's progress I' m poping Doomguard at the begin with potion, trinket,proc's active, I'm doing it right? Or should I wait to <20% to use Doomguard?

Sorry to take your time, and push always for world first I know you're capable guys! Good luck

The trick with elegon encounter is to whore the boss, since he will get those +dmg debuffs, so wait with your doomguard too. You can push 100% uptime on dots during the sparks that go out to the pillars etc and even cast a MG on the boss and let dots finish off the add.


He did 56712919 damage to elegon

You did 39928095 damage to elegon

That's quite a lot of DPS to catch up on, so try to whore more if you want to beat him. It's possible to do without completly fuck the raid over and should be done! You can also dot the pillars from the inside on normal mode, and gain 50% more damage on them with dots. Try to avoid letting agony fall off, hard to tell if you did!

You can also SB + SS the charges x 4 and DS on Elegon after to regain shards if you want to help out more with them.

Thanks for taking the time making the guide from a random lock! Any chance you will do destro and/or demo at some stage?

If i find the time i will for sure, but very busy with university / raiding / preperation for next two instances

Yea, i havnt entirely figured out the most optimal opener either. I just like to open with SB+SS and then haunt to gain max uptime (+agony ramps up dmg wise) and it somewhat fits with redotting before DS runs out with all trinkets / procs up. Openers are very hard to judge as a crit vs a non crit can fuck your numbers over completly.

Scale factors are a mess sometimes, but are you sure you didnt simulate Demonology or something else? What was your stats in % with haste vs mastery etc. Just keep going for the highest until the other one becomes better and try to find the softspot with the most dps output!

So finaly its 10% hast rating With raid buffs (5% from SP...) or unbuffed?

Btw Congratz for world first guys you're just an awesome guild and you keep EU pve on top

[Varia]

[highclax]

Ok thanks dude.
I have another question, sparkk what the name of your addon for the soul shard in the Will of the emperor video ? it seems to be pretty simple.

[Cacner]

Hey nice guide! Does this guide apply only to affliction? And also does anyone have any idea how to set haste to a soft cap of 10% on Ask Mr Robot..? I can't seem to get it working. Thanks

[Iskald]

Yo Sparko! Nice guide, I'd been messing around myself with stat weights lately, jo-jo'ing up and down on haste/mastery to see if there was some kind of breakpoint. This post saved me the trouble, and lots of gold. :p

Also, quick question, I noticed on your WF WotE kill that you were using the Fel Imp as Affliction. Any particular reasoning for that?
