Guest Double immolate tics

Thanks for this guide. I must say much has changed since my last raiding days in IC.

my question is regards of the rotation with roaring blaze. Let's say I target a non elite mob staring with incinerate, i can see immolate instantly applied to the mob, followed by confragate, another immolate i can see 2 immolate debuffs on the mob. This is not the case for elites, I cannot get the two immolated tics, just one. 

Im curios what am I missing here, I'm not sure why this is happening. Again it's been quite a while for me and I'm relearning how to play the class again.

Thanks in adavance,

F.

With the doomguard buff is supremacy better than service?

I don't believe so, no.

Hello, is the BIS list updated with the new Khara loot?

The BiS list focuses on raid loot, at least from what I can see. I imagine it will be updated to include any pieces from ToV soon, though.

Are there any changes regarding sup and service? I notice on sims they are using sup and on my sims ayo is our performing service now with the buff. 

From what I can see in regards to logs and practical use, it doesn't look like supremacy is pulling ahead yet. I might be wrong, but it's just what I am seeing from use in logs/rankings.

The ones on the stat page are correct. The ones in the later part of the guide are there just to demonstrate how to calculate upgrade evaluations, so they aren't updated as frequently it seems.

Could this second debuff perhaps be from Conflagrate? Are you certain there are two immolate debuffs? It should just add to the duration of Immolate.

Cap for Haste on Destrolocks?

I don't think there is a specific number that I can give you as a cap.

I was curious when we would start seeing more forum stickied posts.  Things like the trinket list and dungeon guide ala warlock.  Stuff that has been put out in the other expansions.  I'm a moron or I'd happily contribute.

I'll be adding them to the forums so that people can contribute in the near future! We just need to make sure we get some solid suggestions rather than silly ones! Anyway, keep an eye out for them.

Hm, i think you take the permanent DestroLock-Champion and he applied the second immolate.

If your PvP-Talents are active, your immolate has no casttime.

You guys don't cover Channel Demonfire at all in the rotation page. Any chance we can get a breakdown of how to use it properly in the rotation like the other spells/talents in that section got explained?

Haste, haste, haste. Is there a cap? I'm at 38%

Stats are much more fluid than they were previously. There isn't a specific Haste point that you HAVE to reach. Instead, there are times where Haste just becomes slightly less valuable since you have barely any of the other stats. This depends entirely on how much you have of the other stats, so we can't really give a specific number for it.

SimCraft will be the best way to find out if you are at your personal point of stacking another stat for a bit. It's important to note that you will need Haste again in the future as soon as you have enough of the other stats to push their weights down again.

Thanks, I ran it. I'm not very good at it. The scale factor looks like this Crit ~= Mastery > Haste, I wonder if someone better versed on simcraft can provide advise.

This is definitely possible, but I can help. PM me a link to your armoury and I'll do my best to help tomorrow when I am back at a decent PC!

Thanks Blainie. I had a (pug) raid last night and one of the fights was pretty much tank and spank and I was right on the money with theoretical DPS and actual DPS. I did switch a few pieces of gear as I was stacking way to much haste. I'll send you my armoury link, my gear still low (850i) and I'm still learning the class but I like to start balancing these stats now rather than stack up on something that will not give good results.

I noticed a 10K DPS increase by reducing Haste from 38% to 30% and increasing Crit from 14% to 20%.  I guess the hard work is into balancing these 2. However, I'm wondering how mastery will play on all of this.

this is an excellent point. I find myself at a different stage, although raiding its awesome I can.  Which I guess we can call it another type of progression.

So as Destro lock trying to clear trash very fast to beat timers and really working on learning how to AoE more than 2 targets. I can say Channel Demon Fire comes to help. 

My current strategy for a 5 mob wich CDF and GS will be Havoc->Immolate 4 times->Rain of fire->channel demon fire, by then I find myself wishing for shards so I cast conf in a target a couple times if needed but the main goal is to keep rain of fire and shards up until next CDF CD is up and at the same time watching for immolates.  This is super busy but it's doing the job as I find myself higher up on DPS chart whereas  I was at the bottom with the previous build.  This is most likely apply to 5 men mythic + progression only as everything is happening so fast.

I appreciate any pointers on Destro AoE specifically managing CD and Shards with CDF

Gearing often does become a game of balance in Legion, tbh. It's finding the right point of each of your stats rather than just throwing everything into 1 stat. Of course, you will have some success with that and it often can apply to a main stat, but the lower secondaries can be a bit more fluid at certain points.

As for this, I'd love to help, but I'm really not well versed enough to do this :( You might have more luck asking in our Warlock forum, since people are generally more willing to give general pointers there!

Hopefully the updates to the rotation page which should be incoming soon will also help!

      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

      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.
