Has the change to Immolate which allows it to generate embers on crit been implemented? As far as I can tell in the simcraft results dated May 25 10:13:00 there is no ember generation attributed to...

Yes, except that Affliction is only getting about 3% improvement in demon attack DPETs, while Destruction gets nearly 15% and Demonology gets 20%. The only difference in CDs used is the various Dark...

There are two issues I'd like to query in the current destruction results.


Rain of fire is showing a DPS dropoff over time (see rain_of_fire timeline). Is this an OOM issue?

You are correct. All specs that are not at least 30 points deep into Destruction (for Emberstorm) should be using Shadow Bolt over Incinerate.

A +15 spirit enchant is not strictly better than a +10 stats enchant, but rather the relative value of the two would be dictated by your spec. A quick perusal of the Simcraft thread in this forum for...

EDIT: Beaten to the punch.

In the tier below Master Summoner, there are only 3 points available. That means that you need to get 2 points from somewhere above that in order to progress down the tree...

It seems to me that the logical place to buff Deep Destruction and make it more appealing, for those of you discussing it, is Fire and Brimstone.

That remains an undesirable talent, with a clunky...

Of course, Corruption does contribute to 2pcT7, but it's DPCT is just terrible.

In fact, CoA is only marginally higher DPCT than Incinerate as well (according to your breakdown), even with 2/2...
