That may be true but a Tenacity pet with Roar of Sacrifice will allow the hunter themself to stay up and dps which would bring about a much shorter phase 2.

yeah, you've got a point there.
I haven't tried it yet, but I'm itching to do so now.

i am new to SV as i am sure many are. i have read though many of the posts on timing for ES during a LnL and it seems like there are 2 main answers.

1) add a SS between the ES's
2) wait 2s before casting the next ES

the second has higher theoretical DPS but has the risk of not waiting long enough and clipping a tic of ES or waiting too long and wasting time.

so, would the following macro help reduce the problem of clipping a tic of ES?

/castsequence reset=2 Explosive Shot, Steady Shot

the idea is you try to time it. if you go to early, 2 sec reset time has not expired and you cast a SS thus not clipping the last tic of ES.

i thought about this on the way to work so have not had the chance to test it. i know the reset=# syntax is often confusing in that it is the time between executions of the macro, not the time since the castsequence started with the first cast.

Gracchus,

I couldn't help but notice that the Engineering positives lacked the ammo creation ability. The +20 dps over regular lvl 75 ammunition is a huge bonus in my mind, and also isn't that difficult to come across. As long as you have mining (and you should if you're engineering) then you can grind out enough mats for a 28 slot ammo pouch/quiver in less than an hour. This is like adding an extra +20 scope to each shot!!

Edit: Also has anyone found Aimed shot to be more useful than multi. in their shot rot. while trapdancing? And as to shot rotation, what is everyone using as an optimal trapdancing shot rotation? There seems to be some conflicting ideas.

I tested this on a target dummy and it worked perfectly. Even from a 5y minimum range I clipped no tick of ES. Thank you very much for this suggestion, I highly appreciate it

Just wanted to say thank you for the Time and Effort put into this guide.

I have considered myself a decient Raid Warlock (I suck at PVP). Lately I was having trouble with my dps and couldnt figure it out. I was hearing stories of Warlocks hitting 5200 dps on fights and I was like How. With this guide and the information provided I went from pulling 3400dps to more than 4800 dps. I managed to Hit 4872DPS on Lothab without killing spores (earned the achievement) and pushed 4700 on patchwork (had a couple of dot lapses)

Again thanks

Good discusion

@Mcinaction intentionally evade bugging adds during boss encounters is considered an exploit and is a banable offense. I wouldn't suggest doing the fight that way.

Could you check my armory and tell me where i'm wrong?

Hello fellow death knights. might be on the wrong thread but here it goes.

ive been checking around this forums for specs and info. and now ive gone 33/38 ( 32/39 but with deathchill instead of crypt fever) which i do like. but im only getting like 4.7k dps on patchwerk. and i dont think ive got too many upgrades to get, and seeing some ppl pushing the 6k dps, im thinking i must be doing something wrong.

my rotation is:
PS-IT-BS-BS-HB-RP(usually only 1 dc)
PS-IT-IT-IT-HB-RP untill the rune for PS is ready again. then i repeat.
im using blood presence, pet always up and garg as soon and as often as i can.

ive seen ppl talking about the "old" and "new" 32/39 rotation but havent found any info on thease and whos what.
so i was just asking for some tips on rotations/stat changes.

Heres my armory link: The World of Warcraft Armory

Melodium, how is your guild's DPS?

all (without a single exception) of the 5.5k + WWS's that have been posted are for fights that are at the most 3 minutes 30 seconds. This is because it comes from already successful guilds, rather then learning guilds.

As a result, spells like Heroism/Bloodlust and other cooldowns are up for pretty much 30-50% of the fight, AoTD alone provides a large DPS boost in these screencaps. When a fight lasts 3 minutes, and you use a trinket that lasts 20 seconds, you basically have the effects of that cooldown/trinket for a good 15 % of that fight, and Heroism is up for a good 30% of it.

So you can see how this would make your dps (for that fight only) seem higher then average.

The World of Warcraft Armory

So it's like this. Today I got Inevitable Defeat, Valorous chest and Sigil, so I was thinking, is it worth respeccing with a 2hand DPS build? Before I used 32/39 with Maexxna's Femur and Grasscutter. So what do you think I should do, and if I should respecc could you link a good specc and rotation? Maybe 17/54? Thanks

Unfortunately, pretty much all of the good drops come out of 25 mans or 10 mans. If you can get 10 people to go to Kara you could get Gorehowl, which is decent.

Gorehowl

Hammer of the Naaru is what I used for a long time, which drops of HKM in Gruuls.

Guys, didn't they remove the bug with HaT in the last patch?
I mean... how come it's still viable?

It's such a simple question I thought it more appropriate for this thread.
