is it more dps as affliction to pre-pot wild magic pot then pop a potion of speed later in the fight

or just pot wild magic both times?

thanks

If you want 12% more damage from Death's Embrace on your Corruption damage, then yes.

Deaths embrace is not a buff, you will most likely benefit from the talent without the need to recast corruption.

No, thats sadly not the caste. Death's Embrace Bonus on Corruption is also rolling. Tested it several times.
Well ok my last test was some time ago (several weeks), but Death Embrace, in generall, works very similar to a buff

Please post segments of a combat log proving that.
The way I understand it flat damage buffs on you are rolled flat damage debuffs on you are not. While Death's Embrace is neither I can certainly notice higher corruption ticks during the last 35% phase.

It's hard to *prove* that with a simple combat log, since the combat log doesn't show mob health. But I just went out and tested this, and he appears to be right. Corruption doesn't benefit from death's embrace unless you recast it.

Yeah thats true, I dont see any use of a combat log. Anyway, its not hard to test it yourself, just go to the Target's on the Argent Tournament, they're most likely on 100% health when you get there, just apply corruption to them and keep it up for a while, then let it fall off and cast it again while the target is still under 35%.

It was always the case, that Death's Embrace Bonus is not applied to your running dots (and is not applied on corruptions refresh either). I already noticed that back in early Naxxramas runs, and it still didnt change.

In addition to this question, I was wondering if you should happen to use the Potion of wild magic at the beginning of the fight with NMIC and keep your corruption rolling, is it even possible to refresh it again at 35% without getting the error "there is already a more powerful spell present"? How does one take advantage of Death's Embrace if this is the case? If we're saving NMIC and potions for the 35%, I feel that the majority of the fight is being ignored, however, not taking advantage of the Deaths' Embrace buff would be silly too. Can anyone shed some light on this?

If you're using NMIC + Wild Magic Potion before pull (ie before combat) and thus for your first corruption you should have both available for refreshing at 35% (presuming of course this is required for Death's Embrace). With a Wild Magic Potion used for the refresh you shouldn't have much of an issue refreshing corruption (unless you had an unfortunate lightweave proc on the pull) at which point you can use Seed of Corruption to remove the existing corruption prior to refresh.

In reference to whether refreshing is required I attempted the following test:

Dummies at Argent Tournament Grounds, degeared, only buffs are that of Felhunter (on passive) and Glyph of Life Tap (easier as you have low mana and then doesn't matter if you need to tap for mana during tests, degeared just makes the number ranges smaller).

Haunt used on cooldown to refresh corruption + debuff + shadow's embrace. I only recast corruption when the dummy was at 1% for about 5 minutes.

Above 35% = average 255.
Sub 35% = average 255.
Recast = average 266.

Take from this what you will.

If only crit and damage percentage buffs can be rolled with corruption and everlasting affliction, I am assuming that recasting with Essence of the Blood Queen on Blood Queen Lana'thel could lead to a 100% increase on corruption for the entire fight. Waiting for servers up in the EU so unable to test this myself yet, can anyone confirm this?

Does anyone know how much the difference in Corruption's DPS would be if it had only 16% crit from the NMIC? how much dps is lost if haunt crits and removes a stack b4 we apply Corruption? One would have to find how much dps 1% crit is worth to the corruption spell.
