Hey Guys I have a quick question, sorry if its a bit noobish, I am currently using Feeding Frenzy from shannox as MH and the 1.4 dagger from chogall, and I wonder if it would be a dps loss if I would equip a slower but higher ilvl 1.8 dagger in the offhand (the new craftable one from molten front) considering the +100 dps.

Some macro for stancedance:

From Battle to Zerker

#showtooltip Colossus Smash
/startattack
/cast [nostance:3] Berserker Stance; Colossus Smash

#showtooltip Slam
/startattack
/cast [nostance:3] Berserker Stance; Slam

#showtooltip Mortal Strike
/startattack
/use Earthen Gauntlets
/cast Berserker Rage
/cast [nostance:3] Berserker Stance; Mortal Strike

#showtooltip Bladestorm
/startattack
/cast Sweeping Strikes
/cast [nostance:3] Berserker Stance; Bladestorm

From Zerker to Battle

#showtooltip Charge
/dismount
/startattack
/cast !Charge
/cast [nostance:1] Battle Stance; Rend

#showtooltip Overpower
/startattack
/cast [nostance:1] Battle Stance; Overpower

Thanks a lot Vykas ! for a helpful and complete overlay on the S/Priest. and to all for added imput, i`ve found my gameplay to have gone from deplorable to shithouse, but thats an improvement and i`m still working on it . Instead of abuse being spammed at me like a chinese gold seller, its settled down to resemble an Enchanter LFW , and also only 1 bum cheek hurts `cause i`m only getting kicked half as much , cheerz all

Seed of Corruption provides way better aoe for affli than rain of fire, and the ads are moving, so you need to target rain of fire pretty often which will drain your mana like it's nothing, seed of corruption also has effects when adds are moving, also when they spread a bit, you SoC will still hit others when an add runs out of your RoF, it won't get any damage.

Enormous DPS loss, don't ever consider using a non-1.4 offhand, no matter how much higher ilvl it is. There are blue 1.4 daggers that would be better dps than a 1.8 Firelands offhand, it will never be a good idea.

Dearly Beloved,

Killing stuff and being high on meters is my passion. However, alll this talk about proccs, rng, ticks, caps, and what not are making my very fuzzy brain hurt. However, I am willing to slog through the math on theorycrafting that could effect damage by 3-4k. In other words, what theorycrafting needs to be comprehended to effect damage at the 3-4k magnitude? In other words, I am currently not interested in super refinements to damage. I would simply like to be an 'average' raiding lock.

Some questions assuming the warlock is adequately enchanted, gemmed and geared:

1. I generally blow most cooldowns at the beginning of the fight because I know proccs are not on cd. Is there a list of priorities for tracking proccs for each warlock specc; for instance for destro it is important to manage ISF and Demo Metamorphosis. After the obvious, what is the priority for the rest of the proccs? I am too old to monitor everything at once. I would like to start with the very basic at first and proceed in baby steps.

2. For each boss there is probably an optimal pet, glyph, and specc selection. Is there a list somewhere? I am willing to respecc for each fight.

3. How does one know that one is spamming the shadowbolt or incinerate button fast enough?

4. Caps? Ticks? Hats? Blood sucking parasites? Is there a comprehensive list of all the caps for all the stats for all the speccs and pet combinations? I can understand the concept of ticks and cap, but we locks also have a seemingly infinite variety of specc , pet selection and combat mechanics. What ticks and caps are imperative to understand and keep track of?

5. When to use Felguard or Succubus in Demo? This is probably encounter dependent?

6. Which raid buffs require what changes in casting? Is there a list somewhere?

7. What pet commands and trinket usage can be macroed into oft used spells. And does this affect computer performance?

8. Does the use of multiple addons affect dps?

9. Should I just roll a mage? ... /weep


Thank you for your time and understanding.

I'm not sure how you set up your bars, but i added in an Overpower button on my secondary bar straight from my spellbook (not the macro). That button lights up even when my macro won't.

Ok big problem is you are geming wrong, STR is our biggest stat and you are geming for socket bonus's when you def dont need to. I would replace your helm and shoulders with 40's and even your belt your hit is fine realistically. Also as stated above your gloves should have 50 STR enchant and even then 35 if you cant afford 50 atm. Other than that your reforging looks good.
Also on your rotation you need to drop the ww and cleave on single targets, other than that its just fine tuning your rotation and keeping your rage up. It all comes with time.

Ive got a couple basic questions. Im getting ready to do a race change and I was wondering which race offers the best overall dps boost. I read the op but he didnnt really give a best choice, im thinking its either troll or orc for assassination rogue. My other question is about the new trinket, Rickets Magnetic Fireball, is this gonna be better than Tias Grace? Currently im still using Fluid Death and Tias grace but i have Unheeded warning, DMCH, and RMF. Im wondering whats the best combination there, if its still FD and TG?

This is correct. Firelands gear levels will bring 65 mastery above 50 haste

InlineAura works well for double overpower, too. It tracks the taste for blood timer on the overpower button, so when you see it approach 4 seconds you know to switch and pop them off.

Only doing double overpowers is a dps boost if you can pull it off. It's not if you delay a gcd by doing it. So don't try to learn how on bosses, spend 30 minutes on a practice dummy instead.
