/corruption,health_percentage>=35

use corruption only above 35%

Comparing 0/40/31 and 0/41/30. Where do the big differences in DPE come from for corruption and CoA. Shouldn't they be pretty equal between those two speccs?

The Felguard has more stamina+intellect than the imp, meaning you get more benefit from Demonic Knowledge.

Actually, this difference is negligible. The real difference is from MD - the imp's buff is 5% fire damage, while the felguard's is 5% to all damage.

Conflag just got nerfed to 70% of immo dot dmg.

I've updated simcraft to reflect this. The OP contains the latest results.

I guess destro is officially dead

Question. I could have swore 3/52/16 was in the 6400 dps range and now its up to 6700 dps. What changed?

• Zakalwe · 04/15/09, 5:10 PM

I don't think it was ever in the 6400 DPS range - that was probably 0/56/15. I think the main difference is the smarter life tapping I added.

What life tap changes did you implement?

Syddie · 04/15/09, 5:29 PM

nvm, delete.

The meta specs now life tap early and often whenever meta is on cooldown, to avoid life tapping too much during meta. With the previous action lists they weren't doing that, so immolation aura's high mana cost was causing them to life tap a lot during meta.

The relevant part of the action list is: life_tap,trigger=10000,health_percentage>=35,metamorphosis=-1

I seem to remember that you had a spec for replenishment. Could you post a spec that includes replenishment to see how far off it is and to see if it is even a viable option for Locks to bring replenishment for the raid? Unless I am off base to think that locks should look into bringing replenishment. I just run 10's so we have less options.

but how does that explain the boost that 0/41/30 saw in the latest run?

Darkstarrz · 04/15/09, 6:05 PM

Has the hotfix been implemented yet? I am definately still doin a ton more dps as 0-40-31 then as affliction or felguard hybrid spec. I guess the felguard will gain some buffs from the entire raid so I will have to test it tonight.

It's really not even close to viable. Even before the Conflag nerf, you'd have to take 4 points out of dps talents to get what survival hunters, SPriests, and ret paladins get with a single point. In other words, the SL prereq makes it prohibitively expensive, and the conflag nerf exacerbates this in the extreme.
