Maybe drop nightfall?

I have looked thru these posts as best I can to find some mention of a mod that assists with drain soul timing. I have one that shows a visual time bar and marks for each tick to help me for when I should stop casting and refresh a dot. Does anyone have a link for one that is not so much visual but an audio ping for each tick?

You can use MikScrollingBattleText, set a triger for each drain soul tick and chose the sound effect of your choice.

Personal DPS and winning Recount isn't everything. You have to consider raid DPS and raid survival as well. True, Naxx is easy enough that you can power through most of the challenges, especially in a top flight raid guild. But that doesn't mean utility powers aren't still useful. If you're going for an achievement, or helping shepherd new people through their first Naxx run, or facing Ulduar in another month, they can pay off handsomely. And not all of us ARE in top flight raid guilds. Some examples that come to mind from my own experiences in Naxx:

Maexxna - Less running around to unweb people and get back in the fight. At a minimum it's boosting both of your DPS and putting less strain on the healers. At max, maybe you're getting the MT healer back in play quicker, or preventing a death.

Gluth - I've had to kite the zombie chow more than once. Sometimes it's because the first kiter went down, sometimes it's because the raid comp is short on anyone else who can do it, but because I can do it I sometimes have to. And when I'm running in circles trying to throw instant dots around to pull zombies off the healers, extra range comes in handy. As does the extra run speed from Tuskarr's, while we're on the topic of non-DPS enhancements.

Heigan/Sapph - More range just makes these a little easier on you. I can stand well back and not worry about the tank wandering too close and getting Spell Disruption on me. I can back up and let Sapph's blizzard pass by while still casting on him. Same goes for avoiding lava waves on Sarth or during Malygos Phase 2 when you can't move after mobs.

KT - Less crowding on Kel is a good thing, when one mistake at the wrong moment can wipe you. Not only can you move around more freely, but you can give other people more room to move out of Shadow Fissures without risking an ill-timed Frost Blast, you have more ability to throw a Fear on a MCed raid member, and so on.

So yes, there are other talents that will give you more pure DPS. But the game isn't only about pure DPS.

@Kurotawa:

Besides what Aeji has pointed out, you also have to notice that the two fights where you cited actual utility (Maexxna and Gluth), other classes do much better. Mages and Hunters are better at unwebbing. Paladins, Hunters, and Mages are all better at kiting Gluth. In fact, kiting Gluth is a ridiculous task to give to an Affliction lock without Curse of Exhaustion. To say that the extra 6 yards has any real benefit to your raid to be worth an entire four points would be to assume that your guild for some reason do not have those classes for both primary assignment and backup assignment. Which would not be true for 99% of all progressive raiding guilds.

Try this one

If anyone finds a way to increase the volume for this mod please let me know!

Well, yes. That was my point. Not all of us are in dedicated raiding guilds that structure group comp, after all. If you have an optimal group then there are other talents that will increase your own optimal DPS output, obviously. But in a less optimal situation, like a Naxx-10 run with no Hunters or Mages, they do come in handy.

I know that EJ is all about getting the maximum effect out of your play. But I think there's at least a little room for sidebars aimed at people who want to play effectively in a less dedicated guild. If I didn't make my disclaimer to that effect large enough, I apologize.

if you already have a scrolling combat text mod, chances are it already has a setup for 'execute'. If its a good mod, it will let you alter the execute macro so it works for 25% instead of 20% and play the sound.

Namnalia, you might wanna consider updating the pet part with Succubus being the best choice when you have a (disc until 3.1) priest and mage. Saying that fel hunter is better dps can be a bit misleading for new warlocks.

btw, one question
how often immolate not refreshing? why?

I'm trying to refresh my immolate before previous finished work. Immolate speel making damage but not debuff my target. it's interesting because i can see this picture not always, just time from time

Could add MC not being up when you're recasting, as that seems like a constant possibility.

I've experienced this a lot recently, it's rather frustrating (I've had to rebind just Immolate to something as I usually have a UA/Immo cast sequence macro, and since you cast UA first..). I've also heard rumours that Immolate is bugged in a way that if you refresh it as the last dot ticks, the new dot doesn't take (but it still does initial damage).
