    Guess I'll need to try this and then report back... I knew about the changes @ 25% etc but was looking for a real world experience regarding the increase. I mean I'm happy with my lock doing 5,500 to 6,000 dps already, but it isn't like I'm going to turn away more dps! haha

    FYI I just switched my (former destruction) lock to this last night and I must say THANK YOU to whoever wrote the macro. It works great and put my warlock as the highest dps on my team for bosses, but not on trash.

    Yes I had to add / remove commas while testing on the dummy to cater to my button-mash speed, but in my group setting with his gear (gearscore of 5200) he is doing 7500 to 8000 on the dummy, sustained through two million damage.

    Some things I did differently: i took out curse of agony and substituted curse of the elements because I didn't have a balance druid or an unholy DK. This 13% buff is huge for my other guys and greatly outweighs the dps of CoA. I also added in a dark pact / lifetap macro that seems to be tied in pretty well (redoes itself a bit more frequently because mana seems to be an issue with all of the haste.. my lock BLOWS through mana).

    Some things I noticed about this: obviously with affliction, timing is a MUCH bigger deal than with destruction. If you clip your dots or they dont' get applied quickly enough it really hurts the dps. Spend some time on a dummy and test it all out. I found that my button mashing seems to increase when shit hits the fan so I altered my castsequence commas accordingly.

    I have a question though... how much of a dps increase is it to actually use the drain soul portion? i didn't switch to it last night and just let him continue his typical cast macro.

    For comparison here is the link to my warlock if you are interested. http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...r&cn=Drhibbert

    Sure thing
    Code:
    /castsequence [nochanneling] life tap,curse of the elements,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
    Code:
    #showtooltip Haunt
    /castsequence [nochanneling] reset=20 Haunt,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
    Code:
    /castsequence [nochanneling] reset=target Corruption,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
    Code:
    /castsequence [nochanneling] reset=target Unstable Affliction,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
    Code:
    /cast [nochanneling] Shadow Bolt
    I took out the reset=combat and target stuff but you could add it back in for curse of the elements if you want, i found it slowed down my dps too much on trash and would break on haunt because of the cooldown.

    EDIT: and this wasn't working for me so i just bound a /stopcasting /cast drain soul macro to a different button if i need it
    Code:
    /cast [mod, nochanneling] Drain Soul
