While using conflag on every CD would give you more backdraft charges, it fails to take advantage of the increased critical chance on conflag when immolate has less than 5 seconds remaining on its duration.

In 3.1, using conflag during the high critical zone of immolate (sub-5 seconds) will have implications for pyroclasm uptime. Due to the fact that molten core is moving next door, having conflagrate crit, and therefore pyroclasm active, is potentially a DPS increase.

If one does glyph for conflag and stick to making use of fire and brimstone (i.e.: conflagging under 5 seconds on immo), the potential gain on backdraft charges would only exist at the beginning of a fight when you can fit 2 conflags inside one immo duration. Every other immo duration, would have conflag occur inside the 5 remaining seconds on the immo, at which point your only real dps gain is that last tick of immo + whatever extra DPS time you got in from the 1st backdraft.

All that being said, I've not really found the conflag glyph a HUGE dps boost. I'd rather have CoA proc MC. Come 3.1 however, incinerate WILL be an obvious dps boost and will be one of the 3 glyphs I choose.


Also apologies for posting meters. My intention was not to /flex but to simply show destro's capabilities. Lesson learned I guess.

I've just started Destruction spec again and I'm wondering which casting order you use?
I will try to get more gear with spellpower so I don't think at time being I will reach those numbers you put up on patchwerk but I hope I can at least be some what higher than 2800 I normally put out with affliction.

imp, COA, Immolate glyphs.

As for F&B - yeh - I am underwhelmed by the talent. However, I have a hard time finding other talents that will substantially increase my dps. So, my points sit there for now.

First off, yes they are lowering the Doomguards CD but I am pretty sure they are also lowering it's damage output too and it's health so it won't be as much as a DPS boost anymore.

And my rotation is usually: Corruption, CoA, then I apply Immo, Conflag, Chaos bolt, and then Incin spam until conflag is back up then I Incin 2x and chaos bolt, then I reapply Immo (and my dots if needed) and continue like that. The reason I use 2 Incin's before chaos bolt is because chaos bolt is on CD but I always use Chaos Bolt as soon as it is up. I also always keep Corruption and CoA up for Molten Core procs and for the 2pc T7 crit bonus. That crit bonus with raid buffs and the imp's crit bonus usually scyrockets my crit rate.

Also, right before bloodlust goes off reapply your immo, Corr and CoA, then pop a wild magic potion just as bloodlust goes off and spam your nukes. I usually only reapply Immolate during bloodlust for the conflags and just stick to nuking during the bloodlust as CoA will last for 28 seconds anyways with the glyph out of the 40 seconds of the bloodlust (so for 12 seconds of the fight I won't have CoA or Corruption up).
