This may be a dumb question, but why use the Felhunter at all? I presume the only reason is that you can't rely on having a discipline priest? If you were just looking at it from a DPS point of view the Imp would seem a better choice. He's ranged and so easier to keep track of, he does more DPS than the Felhunter and his mana regen is so ludicrously high that if for some reason you do need to Dark Pact he can handle that just fine.

Imp vs Felhunter
Which makes it 334 dps vs 292 dps

edit: Got corrected below

That would mean an imp would probably do more dps, assuming he doesn't go oom. A fel hunter might be a better mana battery, but the usefulness of that deviates between fights. Also the imp doesn't have to be in melee range.

So in that case the imp will probably perform better.

I believe he understands the tooltip in a way that would mean the felhunter shadow biting increases dmg of your dots by 5%. Which isn't true. It means that for each dot, shadow bite does 5% more damage.

Affe · 12/03/08, 8:30 AM

I believe the 1% extra damage by periodic spells from a spellstone is not factored into the OP.

#1 and #2 are actually quite common and #3 is becoming the rarity. At least in the 25 man content in LK. I might be spoiled by being in a good guild that tears through stuff :-).

Doing Naxx25 when I get home and I will try to count the number of times of each of the situations.

Let me know what you come up with for count. I do see Juised's point. This could also differ from guild to guild, since not everyone may pull a boss the same way or stand in the same place.

Which one gives a longer threat lead depends on how quickly your tank builds threat, but considering most tanks have long-range threat moves nowadays I think corruption is safer before shadowbolt is.

You can have a shadowbolt land as soon as the tank touches a mob. If not, then your tank isn't doing something correctly.

Additionally casting a sbolt before the tank has actually hit the mob is just wrong and asking for trouble. Even if there's a MD up, if the tank gets a miss and the MD does not crit while your sbolt does crit, you will be screwed. Applying a dot however won't ever be any trouble. I don't see a reason at all to cast sbolt before at least corr, UA and haunt are applied. Starting off your rotation with your least effective dps spell just to proc a 5% dot increase while there are actually 0 dots up sounds fairly flawed to me.

I generally start of with UA as a cast time spell is preferrable in case the tank does get some freak accident miss series. So it usually goes like UA, Corr, Haunt, CoA, Sbolt, SL, Immol and then whatever the timers tell me to do.

As I mentioned, Juised does have a point, but the question is how often is each scenario applied. However, I do not agree with your assertion that shadowbolt is the least effective dps spell. If you can provide me with some data or evidence to suggest that casting shadowbolt first is somehow less dps, I'd definitely take a 2nd look.

There's a big caveat with this. Technically, the felhunter is actually more dps. On beta we were seeing him do 100+ more dps than the imp for affliction builds. However, currently both pets are bugged. The imp's mana regen is 2-3 times higher than it should be while casting or in combat. So, the imp never goes OOM. But if I recall, on beta he'd go OOM for an afflock after about 3-3.5 minutes.

Also, the felhunter currently bugs out and stops attacking randomly during fights. So it makes it look like he's doing less dps than he really should be.

So, for now, yes use the imp. But both bugs have been reported, so I would assume that the felhunter will reclaim his throne once the bugs are fixed. I will edit my guide to indicate this.

I did this for us last night ill break it down by wing

Spider:
Anub - #2 - Personally I toss instants as we run in and then do Sb-Hnt-US-Immo and go from there, dealing with adds/spiders here really borks any real rotation
Widdow - #1 - I precast SB
Mex - #1 Precast

Plague
Noth - Same as Anub #2
Heigen - #2
Loatheb - #2 or 3 i precast anyway

Abomb
Patch - #1+#3 Precast
Glob - #2, this could be#1 depending on how you do the pull however
Gluth - #2 - I put up instants as he is being pulled back to the door
Thaddius - this is#1 but you can’t cast before he becomes active so there is a delay to it

DK
Instructer - #1
Gothik - #2
4H - #2

Saph - #2
KT - #1

Funny thing is that with #2 I always toss instants are we run into position and I never have issues with agro as long as the tank hits it once. We do however MD out of habit on basically every boss, so as we run in and the tank gets it MDs are going off so #2 and #3 are kind of the same for us on many fights.

Let me explain.

I have actually tested this. Drain Soul only benefits from SE and Haunt via Soul Siphon.

If that is true, wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that the tank would be able to grab the mob before it reaches you even if you pulled it with corruption?

If the tank is expecting that the boss is going to suddenly change directions and go to someone else before him, or if you are standing with the tank directly between you and the boss, then sure.

dagee · 12/03/08, 5:03 PM

Question in regards to initial rotation: Ignoring the question of should sb be cast first I am curious as to why corruption is being so late in your intial cast sequence. Using the number provided corruption has the second hight DPCT behind Coa. So why not cast it earlier in your rotation before UA and Immolate. For my own rotation I tend to go sb > haunt > corruption > UA > Coa > SL. That way I keep up corruption as long as I can (obviously we are not talking a lot of extra damage here I am just curious as to why the standard rotation has corruption being cast so late).

I didn't do my count last night :-(. We did do a full Naxx25 clear and I pulled a measly 4118dps on PW (3'28'' fight) ... but did get Plagueheart Head / Chest so that will help a ton!

I was paying more attention though and I think there were only 3ish fights where once I was in range of the boss, I had to keep running to get into position (casting instants while still moving) and about that many where the boss either came to us, or was pulled to us. The Majority were more moving till in range of the boss, then opening up (and the majority of those the warrior ran into position and MD's followed).

So how many of those I actually precast before the tank had 5k+ threat I am not sure and thinking further about it, I am not sure it matters much in the current content cause it's so easy.

On the vast majority of boss fights, you're not going to be able to start in range of the boss so you can begin a shadowbolt before the tank has hit the boss. Most fights you're either going to be running in, or the encounter will start with a Misdirect ect. So how exactly are you casting a shadowbolt before you'd be able to cast corruption? Confused.
On another note, hitting a boss with a Shadowbolt .5 seconds after the tank has picked it up is probably not a great idea.

Yea, I gotta go with a dot opener; CoA, haunt, SB, corrupt, UA......( whatever flavor you perfer)
Thou our tank generates some real nice threat a SB may not pull the mob but a crit SB surely may.

Thanks for compiling this. I think I might make some changes to the guide accordinly, as I think it's apparent a "one size fits all" approach doesn't work.

oldlockwam · 12/04/08, 1:00 PM

This is probably somewhat redundant to Melbuframa's post, but in the generic case, if a tank pulls with a ranged attack you should wait to cast SB, and once a tank has hit the mob with a melee ability, you're golden.

Ranged: SB will out-threat a shooting (warrior) without question. A SB crit will probably out-threat non-crit Throw Weapon (warrior), Avenger's Shield (paladin), Icy Touch (Death Knight), Faerie Fire (Druid) and could out-threat crits of those (FF can't crit obviously FF~=1500 threat). Similarly, a SB crit could outthreat your hunter's misdirect or rogue's Tricks of the Trade.

Melee: SB will never out-threat a Druid's opening maul/mangle, warrior's shield slam & devastate, paladin's shield of righteousness, and a DK's autoswing/plague string following Icy Touch.

I asked some tanks in my guild forums about this. Here are some responses

If I have already dodged or parried (which happens all the time) my autoswing gets replaced by a rune strike for a total of 4k *additional* threat.

The most frequent cause of me losing aggro in these situations thus far has been either a hunter pet or warrior charge stunning the mob which means I have to run in. During that interval, bad stuff (TM) can happen. I suppose you could land a SB in that same situation. Your best choice seems to be timing your SB to land immediately after the mob gets to melee range.

Mind you I have crap gear at the moment, but at least this gives you a baseline:
-Mangle on average hit for 1,505
-Maul on average hit for 1,830

Note that Maul gets a 30% buff if the target has the Mangle debuff, and a 20% buff if the target is bleeding. So on an initial pull the Maul could hit for a lot less.

I'd guess you can count on about 5K threat in the initial burst. (2,000 threat from Mangle, 2,000 threat from Maul, 1,000 threat from FF). It could easily be a lot more if I get some crits and the debuffs all get up quickly. But I'd say 5K is more reliable. It'd take a lot of missing to be less than that.

As with Starseed's answer, this does rely that the mob gets into melee range and it's based on me working on a single target.

In the end I don't think it matters too much though. We're talking about 2-3 seconds of damage of a 6-10 minute fight. It's safer and more convenient to start with a corr/CoA (cast instants while running into position after your tank has pulled with range) but higher DPS to start with a SB/Haunt when you're standing still. The potential for disaster is pretty high if your SB hits in between the ranged attack and the melee attack, but corr/CoA pose no risk. If you pull threat and die this way (or worse, wipe the raid by mispositioning the boss), your cries of "but EJ said this was maximized DPS!" won't stand up to "dude, you couldn't wait 2 seconds?"

Darkstarrz · 12/04/08, 2:35 PM

Has anyone noticed that Immolate gets resisted a vast amount of the time? I just started raiding as affliction yesterday and out of all my spells Immolate is the only one that happens to get resisted. Is there a reasoning for this? I am just below hit cap even have a point in cataclysm for an extra percent. Our raids also consist of an Imp FF Boomkin and a SP for the 3% additional hit for spells.
I have found my dps to exceed immensly, the only issue is the cluttered dot rotations that I need to keep track of durring the course of each encounter. It will be nice when Blizzard decides to cut locks some slack, buff us, and ease down on our affliction rotations. Even one dot less to worry about would increase some clarity on the congested rotations that affliction seems to offer us at the moment.

Its not actually resisting, it just fails. I’ve tested this being at 400+ hit in a raid with +hit talents, it still happens. There have been other posts on this as well, basically it’s concluded that you can’t clip immolate at all or it will just fail.

Happens as all specs not just aff.

One little oversight here is in your Felhunter's Aura. The aura does give spirit, and while many guilds have an improved divine spirit priest, many do not. If you don't have the luxury of an imp d.s. priest, the felhunter will bring significantly more utility to the raid in terms of DPS, and it should make up that 42 dps that it's lagging behind in the 20 spell power that it gives to you.

Nicarras · 12/04/08, 4:55 PM

I've also found on most fights that if we do not have an IDS priest, and my felhunter has a chance to die...then I end up leaving him on passive and just ensuring everyone keeps FI.

Managing a pet with 8k health is stupid.

Aeetes · 12/05/08, 12:37 AM

So I did a little work with the boss target dummy, and after a long while of straight rotation with minimal mistakes, I've come to the conclusion that if lifetap is thrown into your rotation just before haunt is refreshed, you can maintain dsp indefinitely, without ever running oom. In fact, I never went below 90% mana. The drawback is slightly reduced dps, meaning it's impractical to lifetap EVERY time...but I think it's safe to conclude that with a lifetap thrown in every 3, maybe 4 rotations, its almost as if afflocks dont even have mana anymore. As a longtime affliction lock (I raided fairly successfully with it before 3.0), I am very pleased with the changes blizz made, allowing aff not only to top charts and secure a place as conceivably the strongest range dps to be had, but also to all out dps for as long as a boss fight cares to go.

This isn't anything new - affliction locks could go forever in TBC as well. And in a raid, so can any other warlock spec.

leino · 12/05/08, 5:11 AM

I found it easier to macro a few dots to keep up my rotation since 2 of them have the same duration anyways (glyphed CoA).

cDoT:
/castsequence reset=5 Unstable Affliction, Immolate

iDoT
/castsequence reset=5 Curse of Agony, Siphon Life

It's logical that you need to be hitcapped for this to work otherwise you'll be missing dots and clipping others.

Siphon Life lasts two seconds longer than glyphed CoA so you'll always clip the last tick.

I bolded everlasting afflictions from calculations.

Can you tell me how did you get these numbers? I have hard time to figure where did you get these numbers but I might be missing something basic stuff or missed some information about Everlasting Afflictions. Shouldn't that be pure +5% coefficient boost from 5/5 talent to each spell?

I checked Wowwiki

Everlasting Affliction adds an additional 1% of your spell damage bonus per point to each tick (overall 6% bonus per point). Maxing out these two talents will increase the overall spell power coefficient to 120% base + 36% Empowered Corruption + 30% Everlasting Affliction = 186% total.

Is this information really accurate? Atleast Namnalia used pure +5% increase (bolded) from the talent in hes thread.

I checked Wowhead, Blizzards us and eu talent calculators and my own armory. There really are different numbers in EA's description and I can't log from work so I can't check what it is in game. But still... where those 30%, 50% and 25% comes from?

tusaki · 12/05/08, 6:02 AM

Another thing I didn't see mentioned in this is the 4 piece setbonus of the T7/T7.5 Set [Valorous Plagueheart Gloves].

Would it be beneficial to lifetap every 10 seconds to keep the +90 spelldamage? or to even open with a lifetap? I tend to forget it during a fight because i have to watch all the dots anyway, but if timed perfectly (maybe always before recasting haunt or something) its a pretty significant buf. ofcourse, its more GCDs which could be used for more shadowbolts, so what is the tradeoff?

The tooltip was changed to current form because it caused confusion. We have tested this talent thoroughly, and Vux made a post on the WoW warlock forums with all of the information laid out in a great informational guide. It provides a 5% increase for each tick the DoT has. So, in the case of corruption, it's 5% * 6 ticks, so 30%. It absolutely works this way.

I'll repost some of Vux's information here:
