[PQR] Nilrem Affliction Profile

[nilrem2004]

ok think I got it. was a much quicker fix than I thought. both legendary meta and proper overall haste cals and refreshing should be better now.
I tested darksoul without proc gear, and with 15% threshold and it refreshed dots on dummy every time. I also changed the way I was pulling haste values from character because meta is represented a bit different, it's pure spell haste, not ranged haste like others....but that's my technical shit....bla..bla..bla...

I believe it's working now but it still doesn't SBSS on a raiding dummy(in a lot of situations that it should, it does in the opener though and other times but when dots are low and it procs, doesn't seem to do it. Also the second time in the opener it renews manually), dps is a lot better in this build though.

Looking forward to testing this out, will report back. As an aside, I use Dark Regeneration for most fights - I've been manually adding the following ability:

if not UnitDebuffID("player", 123184) then
if IsPlayerSpell(108359) then
if PlayerHP < 45 and PQR_SpellAvailable(108359) and UnitExists("target") then
return true
end
end
end

Any chance of baking this talent into the profile? It's basically just a lightly modified version of your healthstone or mortal coil ability, I think.

Also, with T15, there's no shortened cooldown on Dark Soul, so no real benefit to saving Synapse Springs for Dark Soul pop. I've been adding "Use 10" to Malefic Grasp to pop Synapse Springs on cooldown, but that's pretty amateurish. Given that it's an on-use item, is there a better way to handle it?

Sure I will add that. Hmm, a better way for synapse springs.....I'll take a look and let you know, think we can maybe pot it together with some other procs together....

the thing is dots are refreshed on threshold, for example let's take Agony.... let's say full buffed its doing like 10000 dps and 1 or 2 buffs expire, at that moment new dot would do let's say 8000 DPS, and you pop Dark Soul which boosts new dots to 11000 dps. That is only 10% better than dots on the target. So it's highly situational and the fact that haste boost your dps only when you go over the threshold a.k.a. gain another tick or 2 ticks, it also happens that if you already have some kind of haste proc on you (shado pan trinket, meta gem etc...) next haste thresholds are so high that you dont gain much by poping DS at that moment, or it increases your dps but not over the threshold for the profile to refresh dots.
So all of that depends very much on procs, all procs. That is why I have put a threshold in PQI so everyone can change it as they want/need. In my personal preference it's not worth wasting a shard if new dots aren't atleast 18% stronger than old ones, some even by default put it on 25% (Affdots addon).
Btw you can install Affdots and put it on same percentage as the profile and monitor dot refreshings. You will see that profile does exactly what you tell him to do :P

added Dark Regeneration :P

[Kinkeh]

added Dark Regeneration :P

Downloaded the most recent build, tested it on a dummy with only dark intent gemmed/reforged for demonology and no doomguard @ 521 ilvl with the legendary meta gem.


It's pretty consistent now, I imagine proper reforging and gemming would only increase it obviously.

-----

I regemmed and reforged to do some dignity testing and tis much better. Same setup as above.

is this profile playing nice with lei shen trinket?

[nebmyers]

Will the profile ever support pets?

It supports everything. He doesn't have pet control because he didn't want interference I believe was the reason (there comes problems with fight mechanics when you have the profile summon a pet for you, i.e. ji-kun or Durumu) but it can't hurt to add imo with a toggle in PQI or something.

Yeah it can be added with toggle for special occasions. Although I personally still love "petless" affliction :P

[nebmyers]

I see, I wouldn't mind manually summoning the pet myself in various fights, but I would love the option of being able to use the profile with my observer out.

[LazyRaider]

paid version of this profile loves to stop on JinRok during the energy storm, might need to take a look at that

[nilrem2004]

I'm thinking about making a customizable priority rotation inside profile with fully customizable events. For example dynamic changing of rotation based on events that occur, bursting, target switching, auto dotting based on encounters, and some sort of GUI to monitor all that.I'm researching the possibilities since I wanna make it user friendly so everyone can adjust all of the things themselves

This profile alone should give you a degree in science, nilrem I dont main my lock anymore, but when I play her next time Im gonna specc back to Affli. So tired of Chaos bolts now ^^

I know people has told me Demo and Destro are to prefer until you reach 517+ ilvl, would you agree on that? Im 498 currently on my lock (lfr hero atm)
