Naxx10 - WWS and Spec InfoFollow

well, bombed in the plague wing. WWS isn't up yet, but I'll post it when it is. It seemed like I was getting a lot of partial resists, and also found out the slimes at the start go back and forth from shadow immune to fire immune. So that hurt.

The bosses went well except for Loatheb. The strats we found on wowwiki were pretty much right on. Took a try or 2 to get the kiting on the first boss down, and the dancing boss was real fun. We actually had only 4 people alive for 2/3's of the fight and they took him down. I had gotten the random curse right after a life tap though, so I was out of it. No enrage timer though, so 1 tank, 1 healer and 2 DPS was enough to bring him down as long as they danced well.

The last boss though. What a pain. I totally run out of mana and can't life tap since there's really only 3 seconds on healing every 20. I don't know if our healers just need more practice or what. Our 2 Pally healers have never been Holy before. So maybe that has a lot to do with it. They are getting better though, and getting better gear too.

i've got no reports to put up (keep on forgetting to sort out how to do/use WWS/whatever mods is needed etc....

but i can tell you now that on the last patchwork(25man last night) i pushed 4.3k dps as afliction :)

i do about 3.8-4k in 10man on patchwork :)

link your armory, i'll have a look. also what's your rotation? I was pushing 3k dps on patchwork in 10man nax on the day I dinged 80, with like 3-4 pieces of gear upgraded. personally I find that dps is primarily affected by three things.. 1. skill(rotation included here) 2. hit rating 3. spec. everything else is simply a small dps buff in comparison to what you should achieve from these 3 things

you're VERY wrong about immolate and UA. use both of them, they're amazing to use. also W T FFFFFFF.uck were you thinking about when you spec'd?!?!?! no improved corruption, the choice of imp.DS, grim reach, 3/3 eradication instead of 1-2 points (hard to decide which is a better dps increase in the long run compared to where you can put the points). only 2/3 empowered corruption... 2/2 imp.felhound, the choice of using ISB over having 2/3 molton core and 3/3 cataclysm... no offence but your spec and rotation is appauling...

click on taoquitok in my signature... take my spec. rotation ways..

SB > Haunt > SL > CoA > COR > UA > Imm

after that just renew dots when needed, same with haunt and swap SB to drain soul at 24-25% on the targets and MAYBE stop casting immolate from this point as it doesn't increase Drain Soul damage (but it does do amazing damage, so it's hard to tell)

for glyphs. CoA, immolate, corruption

jen, is this with the 56/0/15 build that you gave me in an earlier thread? with no dp or imp fel hunter?


found it: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=IfxzbuMAoVi0IstZVMhV


is that the spec? if so, whats your rotation ti start?

I have been going SB, Haunt, SL, CoA, Corr, UA, Immo. and keepign good dot uptime. im not 80 yet, but i just want to make sure im not practicing a rotation that will be wrogn for raiding.

so the imp is indeed a better pet than the felhunter? thanks.

Is my rotation ok?

drain soul for dps after 24% instead of shadow bolts? interesting, the bonus from talents is really that significant?

hmm... just done some checking and it turns out the corruption glyph isn't anywhere near as good as i thought.. supposedly the siphon life glyph is a better choice, so i'll be making that change when i get home :)

molton core is up perminantly due to the amount of shadow dots we cast, with 2/3 molton core. and 10k is LOW for me. i've seen up to 16k ticks on normal bosses (not any of the ones with special damage increases), i've seen 34k ticks on thadius ^^ ISB isn't worth it, only affects SB and haunt and SB is a filler spell. IF you get your hit rating up to like...356 (14%) and have a Spriest/moonkin in the raid then you can spec out of suppression and cataclysm for ISB instead, but that basically requires full naxx 25man gear.

POST EDIT

on a side note... got only 1 piece of lvl.70 gear to replace now :D just my Hex Shrunken Head trinket... hoping for the dot proc thingy trinket to drop again from sapphiron 25man, making sure i've got enough dkp to win it this time ^^ lol

the CoA one is about a 600 dpsc increase to CoA, it massively outweighs the corruption glyph, and ya, drain soul F T W now, what's even better is if you ever get someone to below 25% health in pvp, forget everything else you're doing, start draining ^^, doesn't matter if they heal up to full, it'll still tick for a rediculous amount :D

yeah ISB is close to worthless, at least for an afliction lock (there is 1 spec, but it requires close to full nax 25man gear to be viable as it requires a highier than normal hit rating) anyways, if you're female, good to know you love me.. if you're male.. well... *creates new account*

:P

interesting.... post pics of yourself in the "RL pics of our lovely locks" thread then ;)
