Does the newest SimCraft model any of the pet scaling that is supposed to happen in 3.3?

No details on scaling yet from Blizzard. Any modeling done at this point would be at best guesses.

regular damage above 35% i had around 6k solo. It seems pretty awesome!

Kinda need to know how many parses you did, since Metamorphosis only lasts 36 seconds, we don't know how many tests you did, how rng factors in, buffs, debuffs, did you use Immolation Aura and how many targets did it hit, etc.

Sure it seems awesome, but without numbers it's quite meaningless.. I do feel like we're in a quite comfortable spot with these changes and I look forward to testing it on live in a raid scenario

Even without the changes I'd propably continue playing a Demonology spec though.

Actually you're not doing 12k+ dps on a dummy even during the execution phase with an affliction spec. I think you meant raidbuff.

Well that did not last to long demo nerfs already out.

* Decimation now reduces the cast time of your Soul Fire spell by 20/40% (Down from 30/60%)
* Molten Core now gives Your Shadow spells and damage over time effects have a 12% chance to increase the damage done by your Incinerate by 15% and Soul Fire by 4/7/10% for 12 sec.

Yeah. I don't have time to do a full update right now, but here are preliminary numbers:

Well assuming that the haste buff on corruption isn't really testable (at least the glyph wasn't avalaible on PTRs ) and that the T9 bonus is OP for Destrolocks then I guess that affliction could be the icecrown spec.

I dont think I understood what your were saying here? Seems backwards to me. Thanks for the data however btw, looks like the gap has been tightened but everything is back to the old pecking order save for the effect pet scaling and the tier bonuses are going to have.

Elfmage9 · 10/14/09, 12:23 AM

Well there is new glyphs show up, still not on PTR. but should be soon

Glyph of Quick Decay - Your haste now reduces the time between periodic damage ticks of your Corruption spell.

should pretty nice increese dps on simcraft as aff spec.
What do you think guys ?

Yeah, I'm seeing 55/0/16 slightly above destro with that glyph instead of the coa glyph.

OP updated.

@Zeph - Yes, since Affliction is (at the moment of writing) in the top slot.

It does seem like tuning decimation is a great way for them to tweak Demo. Not sure why they decided to bring it up to par and then choke-slam it back down again.

Bergtau · 10/14/09, 10:18 AM

Fail CD remembering. Duration != Cooldown.

But question still remains, what happens when we get really high haste and our Corruption is going to wear down before Haunt can renew?

Haunt's CD is 12 seconds, so when an 18 second Corruption gets reapplied with 50%+ haste, won't that fall off?

Haunt lasts for 12 secs, its cd is only 8 seconds though.
