I did a search for "Drain Soul" on this thread but I didn't come up with answers to the questions I have. I have read about 15K drain soul ticks. Although I am not in best in slot gear, I have never surpassed 10K. I am the only raiding warlock in my guild.

Questions:

1. (Assuming best in slot gear, optimal group, and all personal dots up and ticking) Does it require multiple warlocks in the raid to achieve 15-16K drain soul ticks?

2. Do other warlock's dots affect the power of my drain soul?

I uploaded it, yes. But I didn't edit in the summoning line for the Doomguard or anything else.

Thanks Shayo and Kurotowa. I'll just play safe with Immo for now then

Another question though. Trinkets that proc a spellpower effect, does that spellpower apply to the DoTs I already have on the target? If not it seems like "use" trinkets might be better atm to me, since fights are so short and you really wanna maximize the heroism.

Cheers.

Hmm, a thing that is unclear to me. When is the damage bonus for immolate calculated when casting Incinerate? When the cast starts, ends or lands?

Take this scenario. Let's assume 0 haste, and full destro talents. So 1.5 cast time on immolate, 2.25 seconds incinerate. Corruption and CoA are already applied with close to full duration remaining, and CB is on cooldown.
Immolate is applied to the target, with 1.8 seconds remaining.
Now, due to the aforementioned clipping, it is inefficient to cast Immolate, as it is highly likely (due to sundial and dying curse and 4t7) that the immolate on the target has higher SP, thus casting immolate will not only waste the last tick, but not even renew the duration. However, casting Incin will result in the immolate falling off the target mid-cast.
In the end, it all comes down to the mechanics of the immolate bonus. If it is applied upon the start of the cast, incinerate is the most efficient option. In any other case, using a filler spell, such as a lifetap if needed, would potentially be a better use of your cast time.

It dont seem so MegaDerfy.

I have a couple of questions for you other Warlocks out there. First ill start out with my Spec Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

and now my Stats (Unbuffed,No pet out,No armour etc)

SP = 1667
Hit Rating = Capped
Crit - 29%
Haste - 529

And now to the questions which are noobish i must admit.

Raid Food - What buff food should i be using in 25mans? Im currently using Baked Manta Ray (Haste).

Item upgrades: Ok when it comes to item upgrades im somewhat a little confussed here so here is what i "think" are upgrades for my spec please feel free to tell me if im wrong. Im a little sure that theese are the best ingame for a warlock along with other classes? Im basically thinking of keeping the T7.5 Chest Piece and the Gloves but i need some advice maybe i should drop the gloves and keep the Legs etc?

Head > Hood of Rationality (Malygos)
Shoulders > Mantle of Dissemination (Malygos)
Back > Im actually unsure of what is the best ingame here?
Chest > Valorous Plagueheart Robe (I have this piece currently)
Gloves > Valorous Plagueheart Gloves (I have theese)
Waist > Leash of Heedless Magic (Malygos)
Legs > Leggings of the Wanton Spellcaster (Malygos)
Boots > Arcanic Tramplers (Malygos)

Im unsure if this is the way to go when it comes to Drops?

Thanks for reading

I've tried searching the thread and broader about how to get my felguard's dps to consistently show up in wws, but not having much luck. Is this a known bug? Are there any workarounds to solve? thanks in advance

Anyone could point me which race is better to make an alliance warlock? Are there any important racial traits that would make the character better? I like the looks of a gnome... but i'm not sure.

Thanks.

No they cannot.

However, they can die from "Void Zones" or when aggro is dropped in 25 man due to the mind control. My Felguard pulls aggro on occasion during this time.

Humans are arguably better for PvP, with their "free trinket" racial potentially freeing up a trinket slot for more dmg stats. This racial is useful for some PvE encounters as well.

Unless you are an absolute min/maxer for either PvE or PvP, the differences are really small enough in WoTLK that you should probably choose whichever race you'd prefer to stare at for days on end when playing the character.

Well it's not like Warlocks function well enough in a pvp environment to be concerned about damage stats. Regardless of a free trinket slot you'll still need trinks with defensive mechanisms in them :/

Yes it is.
Aswell you cant get intellect buff from felguard when you got Arcane Intellect.
Same with Blood Pact / Commanding Shout. But not priest's stamina buff.
