Destruction Warlock macro

[Lyonheart]

Hmm.. 250 isn't that bad honestly.

Maybe its the timing of your macros vs. your key spamming rate (KSR).

how fast do you spam? i spam super fast hehe

[Niley]

hmm.. ill have to bust out my boomkin and test him out on the dummies! ( grouped with my shams ) Also did you have CL in there?

No CL I got rid of that

have you tried pvping with your locks? I know that is something that you wanted to do I recall.

I would love to pvp on them if I had more time, my play time was cut even more, so basically i do few heroics and call it a day.j

How much difference did CoE make? I mean, is there more synergy with the lock than the 10%?

[Catamer]

what about this for the CoE, it last 5 min so unless it's dispelled or the fight last longer than 5 min this should work good.

/castsequence reset=combat/target Curse of the Elements,null

[Greythan]

That's what I do Cat. Only resets on combat or a new target. Works quite well.

I did have to adjust my conflag/chaos bolt though to reset only on combat/XX with xx being the cooldown. I did have it set for combat/target, but my macros would hang on trash when the targets switch fast and conflag/chaos bolt is still on cd.

Lock is my no 1 dps right now, seen her hit 8k few times(she sucks at trash). coe added right around 800 dps on average to my shamans.

Regarding CoE: This debuff is the same as a Moonkin's Earth and Moon debuff correct? and does not stack?

Secondly, damn. My lock is in bad gear and doesn't touch any of that. Grats.

Thirdly, do any of you add a Life Tap into you dps macro to regain mana without thinking about it and to utilize a Life Tap Glyphfor extra SP?

Thanks.

[Simulacra]

I don't run my destro lock much at the moment, I have life tap on a separate key and tap it before an encounter as the extra damage effect lasts for 40 secs (i think), if I remember I tap again.

I'm going to switch from CoA to CoE, initially i thought i was wasting GCDs recasting it, but the /casesequence CoE,Null will work perfectly.

I've noticed that my mage and shaman will do more dps on some of the shorter trash fights, but once my lock gets going, he stays pretty good. Fully buffed, with totem of wrath down, my lock is pushing 2600 spellpower. Ive seen 5k dps on the heroic dummy. I'd venture that CoE will be a pretty big boost, as on average CoA only does like 5% of the overall damage. My entire team pumps out a lot of damage, even my pally regularly breaks 2k, sometimes 2.5k. I've resorted to smiting with my priest for another 1-1.5k (all that spellpower lol)

Someone on irc asked me to post this.

I had to redo my slaves ui(its usually 960x600, maximized here so i can test the macros), and decided to re make the macros and re adjust them.
this was the result of this - http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/2...3009005042.jpg
Gained good 700 dps over old result, and it was as high as 5900 when everything procced.

but here goes, you can see button placemet on the ui, i had regulr buttons above macros so i can see CDs and make sure that abilities are up when they supposed to be and to make sure that ones on Cd are casted next.

1 -I use sdm and it looks like this- http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/7972/...3009005937.jpg I don't want it to be cast more than once a fight, H 5 man boss wont last more than 5 minutes.(dont get confused here by numbers next to spells below, this isnt cast order, just the order in which i wrote those macros)

2 /castsequence reset=combat/target Immolate,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

3 /castsequence reset=combat Chaos Bolt,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,

4 /castsequence reset=combat Conflagrate,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,

5 /cast incinerate


Chaos bolt before conflag, main reason for that is on first application of immolate you have to wait for immolate to actually hit the boss until you can cast conflag, bu putting chaos in between you never stop casting.
