MoP Warlock Guide

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.

It's part of the Pitbull Unitframes, but i use Galvin's UnitBars for Demonology Fury bar

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?

Mainly to support fast switches of DPS with the pet if needed, you could use observer and stick it on the boss too for DPS. I don't like GoSAC because you barely cast any MG during the entire fight.

Yeh, kind of figured that'd be the reason. Thanks a lot.

Another question. would we want to shoot for 16.4% haste, so with the spell haste raid buff we get the second UA tick, the third agony, and the second corruption? Or just go for the second corruption (11.7% base haste) so we can hit 16.7% for the second corruption and then sink the rest into mastery. What's your idea?

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.

First of all thanks for your answer . But I'm still wayyyyyy confused with this encounter. What I'm doing it's focus on Elegon, when add come I SS him and I keep pushing Elegon. At the 2nd phase I SS "charge adds and drain soul at <20% unfortunetly we don't win Soul Shards with this adds. And I keep dpsing Elegon almost the entire fight, only way that I stop to dps boss it's when the floor dissapear at that time I main focus on pillars, dotting 2 of them that im assigned and try do something with sparks, SS them and SB:SoC/ Harvest Life.

But for some reason my dps it's so weak on this encounter :´(.

What you mean about waiting with Doomguard? I'm poping him at the begin with all proc's, cd's, pre-pot active. This encounter works like Warlord Zon'zozz? You mean, best time to use Doomguard it's on the last phase when we need to burn him( since he have alot of stacks)?

What you mean to dot pillars inside? You're saying that we can dots pillars when we're inside the platform? Or you mean when floor gone?

About another encounter, Will of the Emperor, I'm not doing so bad but still I'm not capable to pull top 1-2 on meters, since the other warlock are doing it, again I ask it's about my gear? Since he have much more epics then me.

PS: If you can check these logs I really appreciate, have in mind that yesterday I went for 13% hit rating, today I will go for 14,97% hit rating. I'm multi-dotting everthing and pop Doomguard at the begin since this fight it's around 12 mnt it's viable to use 2x Doomguard.

Oh big gratz on World 1ºst! I know you guys were capable to do it! :D

You can dot the pillars from inside on normal mode to gain 50% dmg on them. The DG should hit harder in last phase due to the stacks on the boss. Also remember you can drain soul the mob that goes outside to get exploded and get 4 shards, you should always do that. I sometimes drain soul boss during the add phase to gain maximum shards for the charges so i can instant apply dots to 1-3~~. Your armory isn't working though, so can't check.

[Nomnom]

So before the pillars being up you are saying that I can dot them when they are still down. Also i'm drain soul the adds to regain all shards back.

If you don't mind when you have time could you check Will of Emperor tries?

About my armory I don't know why isn't working, but since the site it's blocked on my work, link can be wrong.

Try this: Vort 90 Warlock EU realms.

Thanks for your time.

Hi,
I have a couple of questions. With the hotfix to windsong this enchant now procs quite often (cumulative of the 3 stats uptime is around 50-60%) is Jade Spirit really better, especially with full mastery optimisation at BiS level?
And in your BiS list, you put the 516 dagger, isn't the sword with Sha Touched Gem better?

Thanks for your help.

Hey Guys,

at first I want to thank you for this really nice guide, Spark.

Nevertheless I have some questions which may be silly but at the moment I cannot answer myself.
The first thing is, I would like to know why we benefit from an extra tick of UA and corruption during BL.
I remember from Cataclysm that an extra dot tick is only useful for multidotting where dots can expire but due to Pandemic Dots usually cannot expire if you play great.
The other thing I want to know is when I have to re-apply my Dots if I gain a buff. Which buffs influence my dots so that I have to re-apply them so that they benefit from the buff. Are this only haste buffs or dmg buffs or which ones?
This is one thing I never really have understand :<

I would really aprreciate it if someone can give me a helpful response

haste only makes your dots tick faster hence they expire faster as well unless you get to a breakpoint where you actually get an extra tick in the default duration resulting in a higher damage outcome per cast. If you randomly get more haste, you just end up refreshing your dots earlier.

The other thing I want to know is when I have to re-apply my Dots if I gain a buff. Which buffs influence my dots so that I have to re-apply them so that they benefit from the buff.

haste and spellpower are stats that get snapshotted at the application, so you want to use cooldowns and apply dots when they are at < 50 % duration and refresh them right before cooldowns run out again.

Thank you very much for your quick reply, Varia.

So this means, if my Relic of Yu'lon (Darkmoon Trinket) or my Lightweave Embroidery (Tailoring) proccs and my dots reach the <50% duration I have to recast them to optimize my dps?
