From my knowledge, if you were to go back to affliction & use GrimSac at your current Ilvl you should be able to achieve 6713 (Guess) haste & then a similar amount of mastery following behind. HOWEVER, I'm not sure if that is the case now in 5.2 since GrimSac now gives simcraft a lower rating for mastery. I am Ilvl513 as of last night and I've just hit the agony high agony threshold at 9.7k haste and my sims are telling me now to stack mastery, since it's only around 6.5k. I think keep stacking haste without losing too much more mastery. Valor gear is nice for locks, which sucks be

I think Wush is a much better choice. I've been delaying my dark soul & troll haste buff until I see a wush proc within the first 5-7 seconds and then timing the 20% haste with 10 stacks of the intellect buff just before either buff runs off - usually my volatile/lightweave buffs will be off but man I'm seeing my affdots getting refreshed at 250% damage while doing that XD

I'm Aff (~505ilvl) and was going to purchase volatile VP trinket tonight, and was gonna run with that with breath. But now that you guys have shown me the light with Wush's trinket, should I spend my VP on something else if the upgrade to breath is only going to be minor/better to give to someone else? Or keep it (We're 6/12 atm) and replace volatile with Lei Shens trinket if the crit is snap shotted as well? Just trying to figure out what to do with my valor, I would be upgrading 504 Essence / 510 Cosmos

Zagram, I looked at your demo log and the doom&corr nerf is 7% of your total damage. That's a huge amount on single target. If they want us to not be so powerful multi dotting, they definately need to buff our single target spells to mitigate this. I need to look up how much I'm losing as affliction zzzz.

Makes destro more attractive for single target fights. Really hating the nerfs for affliction. More keen to relearn destro than start from scratch with demo.

I'm being stubborn and sticking to affliction, and thus I absolutely hate all the crit gear has on it at the moment. It's disgusting! Eventually I might go destro/demo. Using my stats I get the following proc calcs for Cha-Le & Hydra (haste 22% raid buff & 10 secs from last proc) Cha-Le = 0.874 x 1.22 x 10 = 10.6% Hydra = 0.567 x 1.22 x 10 = 6.1% and then it comes down to reapplying dots before the int buff wears off which means you might get another intellect pro before your dots even need to be reapplied with lower SP. Is this the reason why it's good?

I managed to get gold in all the challenge modes over the christmas break with the following team Blood DK Tank, Resto Sham, Aff Lock, Monk, Hunter I can't wait for the next set of challenge modes to come out!!! Also have had loads of people comment on my transmorg :D

The tier-14 2-piece set bonus now causes Dark Soul to incresae the duraton of Haunt by 4 seconds (instead of the previous Nightfall modifier). This note is incorrect, as the change applies to the tier-15 set being released in 5.2. I had a panic attack several times over misreading this heap of junk. First changing our T15, then changing our T14.I hope it's gone. Red.

This won't solve your problem, but it helps when it does happen #showtooltip Soul Swap /cancelaura soul swap /cast Soulburn /cast Soul Swap (Or even just use a modifier with /cancelaura soul swap /cast soul swap so you don't need to burn another SS) The extra line will cancel the aura if you've just wasted it, this helps instead of right clicking. I guess you could try a /stopcasting as well? I only figured out cancelaura last night so I'm yet to experiment with the rest of it XD

I will do a simucraft when I get home in about 9 hours and will post it. Currently I think my haste is sitting at 6700 and mastery is 50 points above it. I'm starting to believe that having mastery slightly higher than haste up until you can push the next haste threshold (while keeping mastery ahead of haste) will be our goal in 5.2 with higher item levels AND better itemised stats... (BIS Neck is MSV and haste crit... VOMIT, wtb mastery haste from hof/toes) In our raids I'm seeing myself more compeditive against our top lock (My Ilvl is higher by 3-4 points however he has 4 set) with my h

@Auracle Thanks, I'll give it a test out tonight, I'll do some research into that spell power graph tracking deely and see if anyone has made something similar.

Haha I literally posted a thread before this asking the same thing, METHOD locks do this, and all it increases is agony and UA dots by 1 tick while lowering my mastery by 4.95% damage. Can't figure out if it's worth it until I raid on weds and see how I compare to the other locks.

First topic posted by me, and I've got a query about a high end haste threshold (haste rating 6637) I'm a 499 affliction raiding through heroic MSV / HoF, and looked up the Method Locks and trying to figure out why they do the following: Haste Rating 6637 & Hit Cap Now Currently my Haste sits at a comfy 5050 / 11.88% so I get +2 Agony Ticks + 1 UA Tick & + 2 Corruption Ticks Looking at 6637 Haste it provides the following additional ticks: + 1 Agony & + 1 UA I then worked out how much additional % damage these ticks would provide me with a single dot duration if I pushed my

For challenge modes you should be using the 8% stam scroll and 4% stat scroll if you don't have war/priest or pally/druid/monk How much does the glyph of UA reduce the cast time by? I don't understand how it's not a dps gain, refreshing UA is the most frequent cast I do out of the 3 dots, speeding that up means I can get back to MG'ing sooner.

Hey, long time lurker, first time poster. I'm a 499 affliction lock who's progressing in heroic msv / hof and have some theorys and questions (not all for this post thankfully) Was reading the post about waiting for the ICD to run off on trinkets before refreshing dots and I was wondering if there is an addon that shows how long until trinket ICD's are up and maybe a running graph showing when your SP is at it's peak (similar to looking at your buffs and seeing you have 3 up - lightweave / trinket / windsong etc), and basically saying "REFRESH DOTS, HAUNT, MG, TOP DPS". I have been looking
