Affliction Warlock 7.3

Guide contradicts itself numerous times. Says to cast reap and drain after two casts of UA, another part of the guide says dump them all unless playing with contagion. 

Also says no matter your build, it is advisable to focus UA on one target, then the paragraph IMMEDIATELY after advises you to keep UA up on all targets.

Can you please tell me the sections that you are seeing these errors under? (the numbers above them and which page)

It helps me to pass on to Furty exactly what needs to be changed. Thanks!

Don't really see how this is contradictory?

Hi,

I have the legendary belt and I feel it is the worst legy ever as it makes me feel very uncomfortable with my rotations.

Could you please expalin how the rotations should look like?

Thanks in advance.

 

Then I have another question. I have seen in numerous videos, that in ElvUI exists an option to show the soul shards above the nameplates. I liek this feature very much, but I don`t use ElvUI. Which addon provides this ?

Is there any ETA on stat weights coming back for 7.1.5?  As someone that PvPs a lot I'd like to see which pieces will benefit me more even if they are 10 or 20 ilvls down.

Thank you!

Unless you mean World PvP, you should always use your highest ilevel gear when doing battlegrounds or arena, as all your stats are normalized, and then get a slight boost based on your ilevel.

Its my first time using the Pawn addon. Are the stat weights for Pawn reliable for affliction warlocks?

I'm not asking for PvP but PvE.  I want stat weights to see if I should use (for example) an 840 piece with mastery and crit or an 865 piece with mastery and versatility.  Depending on the weights of the stats either one of them could be superior.  (This is for PvE, not PvP, I know that PvP scales your gear off ilvl alone).

In recommended addons, Enemy Grid should be there. It gives you the name plates of all engaged enemies in a nice easy to click grid. Way helpful for keeping dots up.

That was amazing back before Blizz put out a patch to stop us using it. You can still be shown all targets but they aren't clickable.

Also, I have found Bough of CorruptionBough of Corruption to be very powerful as aff.... when it procs

Have you thought of using mouseover macros? If i were to use a grid system to have enemy names in a raid frames like display, id have my dots macro'd to plan keybind being cast on target, but shift keybind casts on my mouseover

You would still use the same rotation, just ensure that UA falls off before reapplying it in step 6. The priorities will still be the same though.

They'll never be completely accurate. You'll need to keep simming your character to find out your own ones.

He was answering because in your first post you said PvP. Assuming it was a typo. 

For the most accurate stat weights, you can enable scaling and weights in SimCraft and use that to find the most accurate possible weights for you. It's always the best thing to do rather than relying on general weights.

Retrospectively, this would have been useful, but given the latest changes, it's no longer worth. Thanks for helping to contribute though!

This is often the issue. The current proc rate is really unreliable I find. Do you have any logs of you using it? It'd be interesting to see other people's proc numbers!

Definitely a good suggestion. I use them for applying my DoTs while healing as druid, since it just makes it so much easier.

I almost feel like there needs to be an updated rotation for a grasp single target build? It can't be right that the 70% increase to DoT dmg should be so far down the list or?

I'm using grasp+contagion and I struggle to decide what to keep throwing instead of grasp but I know I lose 70% DoT boost so I don't really want to ^^

So I guess in other words the question would be: If you are using the grasp talent, should you not prioritze uptiume on Drain soul more?

Can you please update the Sin'Dorei Spite Legendary? It's not working for Affliction anymore... I just got it and it only works for Demonology. I had my loot spec on Demo just for that one Legendary cause pretty much all the other Affliction Legendaries are... simply boring. I'm gonna cry... Or thinking about switching spec.

Honestly, I don't think so. Despite the boost in damage from channeling Drain Soul, it's more important to prioritise actually placing all the DoTs on the enemy prior to having a shorter DS channel, rather than interrupting your DoT casting to try and grant the fewer DoTs the damage boost.

Guide says no changes needed for Patch 7.2 when it comes to Legendarys/BiS. But there was a change on  Sacrolash's Dark Strike which now also increases the damage of Corruption by 15 %. I assume its one of the best legendarys for affliction now.

Will make sure to get this passed on and updated! Was most likely just an error while transferring information across for the update. Sorry and thanks for letting me know!

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

    • By Starym
      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
