[PQR] Nilrem Affliction Profile

[mmmmbakes]

Nilrem, please check PM please! Thank you.

[nilrem2004]

Usually I check PM's every hour on the hour when I'm home, so please no need to post it in thread, I will check if I'm home....

Btw: working on improving affliction rotation far beyond simulationcraft. Results will be up in matter of days.

[Ninjaderp]

damn, Im already ahead of the more geared affli-lock in our guild, I like the sounds of this ^^

[freaki]

aye..its an amazing profile nilrem,cant wait to see it getting even better..

[nilrem2004]

Initial results are here. We will soon be far beyond simulationcraft. I'm incorporating highly advanced calculations in the profile, stuff that simcraft cannot tell you or sim it
Not gonna tell you all but will give some small tease. What if the profile can calculate the true value of each current DoT on target against value of applying a NEW DoT in regards of all the buffs/debuffs, procs(haste,mastery,crit,intellect,spellpower) for EACH DoT and for ALL targets that have ANY of your dot's up, and then based on all those calculations including if the NEW dot will then benefit from FULL Pandemic or just HALF decide the true value of the new DoT. To semi-quote one popular book writer: "To DoT, or not to DoT, that is the question"

Sounds great, definitely something SimC has yet to add .

Hey nilrem, I was gonna try use grimoire of supremacy for WotE and summon fel imp, but when I did that the rotation didnt resume as I entered combat for some reason.

I was actually about to recommend this after reading that I was mistaken about dot mechanics. They've changed a few times, and MoP is my first time maining lock since Ulduar. This will be FANTASTIC increase. Also, I have 2 short concerns.

1 - Is it possible to change Doom Guard to not be popped during lust? It's 17 ticks with or without haste. Blue posts have yet to confirm if it's intended or broken, but either way it's the most beneficial to use it at 2 points, depending on situation, sub 20% (obviously), or at pull, since dg benefits from our stats (i.e. prepot's up, trinket icd's, etc.)

2 - Sometimes, while holding right ctrl for burn seed, I notice that it will use soulburn again while soulburn is up, sometimes 3 burns total before a cast. I'm not sure why. Perhapts I need to quit being paranoid and just hold it until cast, but the way it's well written does every other as a burn so that both seeds can be up, assuring maximum aoe dmg (well done on that, by the way).

Anyway, just some things. You seem very solid and knowledgeable at lock, and that's not something many people can say. If you ever are curious about something, I do my best to stay absolutely on top of pushing limits of damage. Using PQR is really a lazy way for me to raid during farm, but if you make the tick value tweak you are saying, i may be using it for progression as well. I need to learn how to write profiles so I can be more useful, haha. Solid work as always, mate. Keep it up.

Really? didn't know that

@Ninjaderp, Since there are situations and fights where it's better to use Pet and on other fights it is better to use GoSac I will remove automatic GoSac and with that actually allow everyone to use whichever pet they seem good for the fight. GoSaC lasts long enough that it can be casted manually before the fight, Pets are permanent so I will abandon autosummoning and GoSaC also since for 1 fight Observer can be better and for other you might wanna go with Imp.

@royoneal Doomguard during BL or sub 20% is most beneficial since it speeds up the casting of his shadowbolt and profile uses Jade Potion on BL, and since DG updates stats dynamically it's ok. Now DG is set to be used at below 20% or at BL. Best benefit is if you have BL at 20% ofc . But I will take a closer look at DG after I finish with DoT mechanics.
As for Right Ctrl, you hold it untill profile starts to cast SoC, then release. Use RShift to cast SoC only without SB . I never seen that bug with spending more than one SB on SB:SoC but it's possible you released too early so profile actually refreshed your dots on target with SS? I'll check it out anyways

Ok now let's get serious. I have also rewrote Haunt completely so I'm in process of testing it. It's done in a way that we will be using haunt only on major procs. But I'll share details later. must test stuff first.

P.S. Can someone do a quich research if Haunt refreshes DoT's "int" , does it updates dot's spellpower also with haste?

I have done a similiar thing for my affliction but it did not have great impact. Perhaps cause that Pandemic was bugged in 5.0 or something. Are you calculating a spelldamage cofficient based on simcrafts of all values(int, spellpower, crit, haste, mastery)? I did add my scale values from Simcraft to get it as good as possible.

Also my work was kind of bugged since it did not really take in account the end of the proccs but just checked againt the spelldamage cofficient when the old dot was cast.

[blaythe]

I am absurdly excited about this.
