I've been raiding affliction for a few weeks and gotten plenty of advice (and listened to it) but my damage isnt really increasing. The past few raids a demo warlock had been coming with us and topping the raids dps, beating me by about 10-11% usually.
Ok, on to the good stuff. On trash I put up CoS use my trinket, UA and SB spam. Only more difficult mobs I'll put up Corr as well. I've considered putting CoD on mobs that are sheeped or off tank targets but they just die too fast. The demo warlock has his succubus out and SL up for the same effect as saccing her. He says he puts up Corr and CoD and then SB spams on trash and then does the same but includes Immo on bosses. On bosses, I put up all my dots and try to keep them all up.
Most of my other raid members dont out gear me, I think most of them are in S1 PVP gear. I would say they out gear me but that isnt an excuse for 10% behind. I have been using consumables but as far as I know so has everyone else.
So onto the questions. What am I doing wrong as affliction? I've heard that affliction warlocks are one of the best classes for early raiding. Is demo a good spec for PVE? If so what are the gear requirements and what tactics are used? For that matter what is the gear and tactics for destro?
This is the demo warlocks armory
