Thanks Bacon for the valuable input. I will work on the things you suggested and comeback for a second look. Also is there a link anywhere to that wonderful Spreadsheet? The math getting to there is sometimes beyond my abilities. Thanks again.

Sub 25 is only different because your Drain Soul DPCT goes above Shadow Bolt. It's still best to keep all shadow DoTs going for DPCT reasons as well as keeping Affliction debuffs up to make DS hit harder.

I ran 0/20/51 today, and must say I'm quite pleased.

Esspecially mana seems to be exceptional in this spec. I made a good bunch of mistakes still, but here's the WWS:
Wow Web Stats

Note that, the other Warlock used a doomguard, otherwise he'd be pretty far above me (at about 6.4k).
He has slightly better gear than me though (I seriously need to get rid of some hit). The potion I used was crazy alch pot, the random potion effect I got was mana potion. Honestly Alchemy is pretty overpowered right now.

I'm esspecially interested in seeing a comparable 2/13/56 wws.

I've been running 2/13/56 since WoTLK started.

WMO

I could tighten up my cooldowns a bit, I missed a few conflags. Interesting that you run Glyph of Immolate as opposed to CoA Warlocomotif, why is that?

5/5 FnB seems to be weaker than the glyph anyway if you compare our Immolate damage, although your fight did last slightly longer (10s). Do you Conflag every cd or only once per Immo?

It's been a while since I did this numbercrunch, and quit frankly I havent done the numbercrunch in a while- so I'll do some napkinmath on-the-go here:

I did 94970 damage with immolate, ~59486 of that is dot damage, 35484 is direct damage.
Before Glyph of immolate that is (59486/1.2=)49572 and (35484/0.9=)39427 respectively.
Which totals 88998 damage before the glyph.

Difference: 5972 Damage. In 170 seconds, that's 35 DPS (Okay Glyph of CoA is looking a lot nicer right now).

As for Glyph of CoA, your CoA does an average 537 per tick vs my average 483. Thats 27 DPS assuming 100% uptime.

As for the duration extension, in a 170 second fight you can fit a maximum of 85 ticks.
If you had no glyph, that would cost you 7.08 casts, with glyph it costs you 6.07.
With 600 haste, and 8% from raid buffs, that means you gain:
(7.08-6.07) * (1.5 / (1.08 + (600/32.79))) = 1.1995s
When doing 5534 DPS, with 771 DPS coming from my imp, that 1.1995 would translate into:
1.1995*(5534-771=4763)=5713 Damage, which in the 170 second fight is 33.6 DPS.

Totalling the glyphs value at 60.6 DPS when assuming 100% uptime.

100% uptime however isn't reasonable to assume, still Glyph of CoA quite clearly comes out on top. I'm changing glyphs before tomorrow

[edit] Would love if anyone has some correction to these numbers[/edit]

---

As for my conflag behaviour. I mostly just improvise. If conflag is off cooldown, but there's 3 seconds left before immolate runs out while chaos bolt is up- i'll probably wait. If there's 4 seconds and chaos bolt has 3 seconds cooldown left, ill probably be able to squeeze in 2 incinerates, and spend the third charge on Chaos bolt.

So, the short anwser is 2 conflags per immo-- but very much improvised.

[edit 2]

So, I was just having a snack- and all sorts of mistakes in the above math came up in my mind. For starters I should really use the real CoA uptime I had; 72 out of a possible 85 ticks means 85% uptime.

Second, I dont have the CoA talent. I assumed that because my min CoA damage was quite close to your min coa damage- we'd have similar spellpower and that I could compare the 2 reasonably. However if Y reduce your CoA damage by 10% the average damage from my CoA pretty much matches the average damage from your CoA.

I'll post an edit 3 with better napkinmath.

[edit 3]

So I calculated the new average dot damage by looking at the log file and adding 33% to the largest dot, adding it all together and deviding by 14-- turns out it's a dps gain of ~19.16 assuming 100% uptime, or 16.23 DPS assuming the actual uptime.

Adding the uptime to the cast time saved part of the formula is a lot easier:
(5713/85*72)/170=28.9 DPS

Totalling the glyph at roughly 48 DPS. Still better than glyph of Immolate by about 13 dps.

I'll post a link to the spreadsheet later, I'll clean it up a bit first so its easier to use.

The math is fairly straightforward though.
To calculate uptime:
open up your WWS and look at the total time for the kill in seconds. In this case its 225 seconds.
From this we need to figure what 100% uptime is.

Take 225 / 3 = 75. 100% uptime for UA,corr,immo,SL is 75 ticks for the fight.
Take 225 / 2 = 111 rounded. 100% uptime for CoA is 111 ticks.

Divide the number of ticks you had on the patchwerk fight by the 100% uptime ticks. For example, you had 62 UA ticks.
62/ 75(100% uptime) = .8266 or 82.7% uptime.

I'd like to see if I could have done anything better with my last Patchwerk fight.

Glyphs:
Glyph of Immolate
Glyph of Siphon Life
Glyph of Curse of Agony

I decided to test out my succubus because we had a disp priest and a warrior tank. The timing on my infernal seemed about right since he died within a couple of seconds of Patchwerk going down. The latency last night was fairly high and the fps was fairly low.

I read about people breaking 5/6k dps and having 15k drain soul ticks. Is my limitation my gear or am I doing something wrong?

I hope to get to that level myself, we had a good group last night (Moonkin, Ele Shaman, Disc Priest, Shadow Priest) so I was just wondering if I should have surpassed the 4.3k that I did with the gear that I have.

Also, was I doing something wrong that my Drain Soul ticks didn't go over 10k? (Again, I am wondering if my dps is a gear limitation or if I was doing something wrong)

Did you and the other lock have all your dots/debuffs up? We have similar stats and I get 11-13k DS ticks.

Hello, this is a repost but I feel I didn't offer enough input, which is why I believe I didn't get any help.

http://wowwebstats.com/6lspvgvmihsq5...961&a=x16dee68

This is a link to a WWS of my guilds 25 man Malygos kill. Now I know this fight isn't the best to look at but its the only one we have started to WWS (Since I am the only guild member willing to record the parses). Now that whenever I raid we have WWS I believe it will push us all to be better, but on with what I am looking for.

I looked into my WWS, and did some number crunches on my DoT uptime.

3 min
180 sec
60 TPF 100%- UA/Corr/Immo/SL (48, 30, 44, 53) (80%, 50%, 73%, 88%)
90 TPF 100%- CoA (85) 94%

(TPF=Ticks per fight)

This is the math that I came up with, if anyone see's anything wrong can you please correct me.

Now my question is, how in the world did I get only 50% corruption uptime? The only thing I can think of is haunt not refreshing it (Because of the off-time ticks after refreshing corruption via haunt) and causing it to drop off, and me not realizing it. At the time I was 55/0/16 but I recently re-specced to see what kind of damage FG/Emberstorm could bring, due to all the haunt/SE bugs (Now fixed, I know). If anyone see's anything else that I did wrong please feel free to let me know, only upgrade I didnt have then that I am currently using is the Helm of Rationality, which I got on this kill

Another question I have is about pets. I generally use my felpup but in a lot of recent parses I am seeing a One Minute infernal outdpsing three minutes of fel pup, I was wondering when I should summon it, and even if I should.

Edit: Keep in mind this is Malygos and I couldn't DS (Obvious I know, but just forewarning )

Thanks for your help, I hope to hear back soon.

You're completely correct. When adding edit 3 of that post into this (real world uptime) that makes it:
(4775/85*72)/170=23.8 DPS, totalling the glyph at 40 DPS. Still ahead of Glyph of Immo, now only by 5 DPS though.
