MoP Warlock Guide

[Furyio]

Been doing some work this morning and can see my scale factors have shifted, without any significant gear upgrades.

Initially haste was always showing up as the marginal winner over Mastery, however when Sparkz outlined the 10%Haste soft cap, I worked some numbers around that aswell.

Below is my armoury link and scale factors currently (I run tens of thousands of sims to get this results). This time last week, with the same gear, Mastery was coming out slightly ahead with the 10% Haste unbuffed, but not anymore.

I realise we are talking about .03 in the difference, and you will quickly ascertain I'm not raiding this tier, but I've been crunching numbers for nearly 7 years now, and a change in weight with no change in gear, surprises me.

[KryptoX]

Ya, that is what the 10% (unbuffed) are for (roughly said)

Sure, I just meant that it would be more precise to specify the exact rating, as 10% haste is 4250 rating :)

[highclax]

Standard ones. Soul Leech, Whatever, DB/SP, Burning Rush, Grimoire of Service and ARchimondes vengeance (can go with KJ Cunning)

Service realy ? I'm surprised about that! What pet are you using with service in demono ?

I dont know whats up with simulationcrafts, but i get odd results every sim. Will wait a few days before speculating anymore into this!

I did go for the 4717 haste cap, and that gives me more dps then the 10% one (now) and then after 11,xx% haste you gain an advantage of mastery again!

Service realy ? I'm surprised about that! What pet are you using with service in demono ?

Just felguard!

[highclax]

So, on burst we must run with Two felguards ?

You just use it on cooldown



- Side note -

at 4717 haste, i got these scale factors in my gear

[highclax]

Oh nice, and on simcraft this cap gaves you more dps than 10% or less ?
For the demono spec we should use supremacy on feng & 4 kings i'm right ?

[Nomnom]

Anyone can explain this?

How the 1º lock did more 12k then me? Since my uptime it's almost 100%

It's because on adds phase I use Rain of Fire and he used Harvest of Life?

Atm I'm letting Malefic Grasp end his cast, I'm refreshing dots <8-10 seconds before it fades. Whenever I have haunt I run 3x Malefic Grasp to benift from it the most I can.

I'm doing it right or I should refresh dots at the last tick? And don't run Malefic Grasp the entire cast?

Something like dot, dot, mg,dot,mg,dot... Something like that, i know im not explain so well. But what I really what to know it's if I should stop to Malefic Grasp to refresh a dot on the last tick...

FFS still kinda confuse with Affliction at single target! FML...

Another question that's its frying my head. For Affliction which grimoires will do more dps, it's GO: SAC in all fights? Or one some fights the others Grimoires will overcome GO: SAC? Which ones?

And for Demonology GO:Service will be always the best option in all fights?

Have in mind that atm i'm only speaking about Mogu'shan Vaults

Edit:I have 10.25% haste rating, 15% hit rating, rest full mastery, the other lock isn't hit cap (12.78%) haste rating around 7%.

Really appreciate if Sparkuggz and Varia can comment on this. Thanks for your time!

[rage]

Howmuch would you say the troll racial dps increase is over say humans. Also when should I use berserking? With darksoul or after?

Whats your gear difference? Because if you look at Corruption ticks you have nearly the same amount 300~~ but he does 1 million more with it. You might overwrite too many dots with procs on them, which you shouldnt. Don't redot at 7 seconds left unless you have some procs to benefit from it. Try to always have haunts + MG ready for when you have dots with procs and use the downtime with no procs to lifetap etc. Always avoid having to Lifetap or redot while haunt is up, as its a waste.

GoSacrifice for affliciton until you come in a situation where you dont really use Malefic Grasp (since GoSac is pure single target) at around +3 targets. WotE is a good example of this issue, where you won't have to use many single target spells.

He did do 1 million more on the AOe phase as well, but overall it seems like u let ur agony reset or have less dot ticks of UA / agony then him, im not sure why.

I mean gear is really a major part of DPS at the moment, it's hard to fuck up the rotations MAJORLY at the moment, if you min max you can maybe push a little more DPS but not a ton.
