Oops, I called it a "score". You mean this game isn't called "World of How much DPS I can do on PatchwerkCraft"???
Point taken. Thanks for your answer.

I'll try out the spreadsheet. I usually have problems because my work blocks the official site (including the armory) so it doesn't update itself with my equipment/talents. (I theory craft while I'm at work, so I can make the most of my time in-game when I get home).

One more question, when's the best time to use a potion of speed, or does it not matter? Will it stack with Bloodlust? Or is it better to not use it during BL?

As Afflock with Doomguard you should be able to break 4.5 easily

Ya, I haven't tried the Doomguard out yet, but after reading a lot about it I think I'll give it a try on patch.

Thanks for giving me a rough estimate, the spreadsheet doesn't work for my non excel 07(even with the workarounds).

Hello

Which potion is the best to boost affli and destro dps? Potion of wild magic or potion of speed?

thanks in advance

I have searched all over these boards and on Google...have we determined that +23 haste is much much better than Lightweave for DPS because haste will scale with your gear even though it uses mana faster?
I haven't really seen a black or white answer yet...

Disclosure: I do use Lightweave on my PvP cloak...I did find that tidbit of info useful.

For 41/30 spec, what are the DPS values for each stat (hit, SP, haste, crit, spirit, int)

I know the affliction values, but have to assume they are different (if only slightly) for this spec. Thanks.

Hi!

This is the first time I post in this forum, so don't be too hard to me

My problem is, that I clip my Drain Soul normally too early or too late. That means, that I lose a tick or wait too long after a tick, which decreases my DPS. I need an Makro or Addon, that prevents me from casting my spells while channeling Drain Soul, unless I try to cast it directly after a tick.

Thanks in Advance!

Sorry, but I don't think such an macro is possible mongmong. It may be possible as an addon but I don't know of any that do that.

I use executewarning 1.0 to tell me when to drain soul. Once I get to using drain soul I clip it to put Corruption and CoA back up if they drop off and I ignore Immolate. Drain soul can be clipped to re-apply dots. The old macros that checked if you were channeling may still work, but I doubt it.

The question he's asking for is an addon that displays when the ticks occur, so as to minimize the DPS lost from clipping Drain Soul. Last I heard, it was possible to configure quartz to put lines over the channel bar where the ticks occur, and many people modify SCT-like addons to include larger visual warnings on Drain ticks. Just about any warning-mod with customizability options should be configurable to do so on drain ticks.

Do you have a link or information on how to make Quartz to show the ticks on the casting bar ?

There was a method to superimpose eePanels or kgPanels representing the ticks over the cast bar that dynamically shifted in response to knockback and haste procs. It was pretty hard to follow exactly how to implement it, and I didn't get a reply from the poster via PM requesting help with it. You might try to search for "panels" in this forum and see if you can get it to work and post the method, as it would be a boon to users that wish to continue to use Quartz instead of ForteExorcist.

It's easier to just get the SharedMedia pack and use the "Fifths" texture for your Quartz castbar.

I posted a guide about how to setup some mods to get the most out of Drain Soul. It should help you and is found here:

I'm in the fortunate situation to choose between:
[Heigan's Putrid Vestments] (Naxx25) 258-> 309 dps
[Valorous Plagueheart Robe] (Naxx25) 255 -> 295 dps

The question is which one? They seem to be rated pretty close in terms of dps (from the affliction thread).
Im playing as affliction 54/0/17.

If I choose T7 I get:

-10 Int
-51 Haste

+2 Hit
+66 Spirit
+20 Spellpower (from spirit gain /w Fel Armor)
+ T7 4set bonus

Ref

DPS Comparion from stats:

-DPS
Int = 1,69
Haste= 43,50

+DPS
Hit = 3,17
Spirit = 27,192

Winner is Heigan's IF I exclude the T7 bonus. The bonus has to be worth more than 15~ dps to be worth it.
I've excluded the sockets, but I think they'll come in pretty close.

My lock is currently lvl 74 and am looking to get some input on leveling specs. Is 0/21/50 considered a good spec to level up with? I want to remain heavily in the destruction tree and was also sac'ing my pet while leveling. So would this spec still be good for leveling? And how does the spec rate at 80 for raiding?
