destro macros once again

Ok, tested this.

Glyphed, Conflag just adds an ADDITIONAL DoT to the target for 3 seconds. So my theory above was unwarranted. /yay Immolate does not change.

Yeah the change to conflagrate reduces it's burst damage by 25% but tries to make up for the loss with an additional dot capable of criting. I'm not a huge fan of the change, but I'll live with it.

this has nothing to do with this, but.....i was just making heroic HoR video and noticed while watching it that my imp was on passive again x.x

[Fursphere]

Lol. Fail 'lock!!

[Ualaa]

If you include: " /cast [pet:imp] Firebolt " in your macro, it won't make a difference what the pet is on.
It will be casting Firebolt at your current target, as you spam your macro.
And if you switch targets, it will switch with you.

Aggressive will probably get your pet killed.
Defensive shouldn't be much different from passive, in that the Firebolt line will have your pet attacking before the automatic attacks, in response to your warlocks attack, kicks in.

Still, not sure why the lock is that far back of the shammies.

I just have a /petattack after my assist in my dps spam macro.

edit. Fixed spelling mistakes.

FYI - that's a LVL 60 target dummy to everyone looking at those numbers. This is a false post.

and theere is one done at level 80 dummy with HIGHER dps numbers.
There is NOTHING false about this, you can see difference between locks and shaman, and thsi was only made to show this. So you can stop with your false bs.
Im not here to swing my e-peen over my dps at anyone. I respect everyone here(except sam and tim).

I hope this makes you happy. This is balls out on heroic dummy, every buff that i can get in my group including flask of the north, drums, scrolls, food buff, fire dps totems.






Now show me in which heroic i will encounter lvl 83 bosses?

I'm curious why you put Chaos BEFORE Conflag?

Wouldn't you want your Backdraft proc to make Chaos Bolt go faster?

[daviddoran]

I was wondering that too. And my lock is my best geared dps and has seen a similar dps decrease since the last patch. I guess thats one benefit of a multi class team, 2 patches ago my mages dps got a huge boost, so I'm covered for most nerfs/buffs in the long run.

chaos before conflag, because first immolate takes time to be"detected on the mob" , so when you cast immolate you have to wait about .5s to register on teh mob before you are able to cast conflag, in my case it shows on the mob when im almost done casting chaos bolt.
In reality, when im raiding on my lock it looks like this:

curse, immolate,chaos bolt, conflag, spam inc. <- thats the starting rotation.
after that as long immolate is up, i will do conflag before chaos.
I heroics bosses die within seconds, so more casts squeezed in = more dps, thats also the reason why Im manually doing life tap before boss pull.
