Mavmins' Destruction Warlock

[derfred]

Ye i know, i tried to see what it was trying to cast when it stopped, but without that pqr addon where you can see what abilitys is queing up it pretty much impossible.

All i know for certain is that when it stopped, I spammed incinerate (having aoe mode on) and it started to work fine for a while again

Offtopic it gave me 5 golds in one day, but we all knew before it is an awesome profile

[Mavmins]

ok thanks, sounds like something funky happening if you have max embers, might be a chaosbolt / aoe conflict, ill check

Hey Mavmins,

I've been using your profile lately and it's awesome. I have 2 things to ask about but I could be wrong about them.

1. When I press the key to activate Dark Soul, it lets Immolate drop off and spam casts Chaos Bolt. I thought keeping Immolate up during Dark Soul would be important because of extra crit chance on Immolate means more Embers. (maybe I'm wrong, warlock is all new to me)

2. When I switch to AoE mode and Immolate is already on the target it doesn't cast Fire and Brimstone Immolate to spread immolate to other targets. (again, I could be doing something wrong)

Thanks for your time, keep up the excellent work!! Rep+

1 - I think its a fine line between taking the time to cast immolate and squeezing in an extra chaos bolt, at the moment its just designed to chuck out as many CB as possible during dark soul

2 - Yeah thats annoying, I'll look at it, but PQR wasn't able to distinguish between the immolate and immolate AOE buffs when i looked before, try just tabbing to another target without immolate until i find a better fix

I'm absolutely loving this profile. Was using it months ago, then left the game, and the only reason I came back to it was because I knew your profile could get me through the rough times of casting spells.
My ilvl is lower than all the other warlocks, and still I'm shooting them away in LFR. Except when there's just too much of a gear difference or when there's a lot of AoE. And I honestly can't really be arsed to do much AoE.
Not to mention Battlegrounds. All the automatic defensive cooldowns are really helping out. With my gear being completely PvE and not great for PvE while at it, I still frequently top the damage and KB list (admittedly Shadowburn does help with KB). All the while hardly dieing.

Hey Mav. Im still using this profile, and still loving it! If you are looking at the 5.4 patch notes, do you see any need to update the profile? Will the loss of KJC cause any issues?

[Ninjaderp]

I thought they reverted that change since everybody got so pissed about it? MF is still to be changed though, to be a spell you have to activate that is.

[Mavmins]

if someone can link me some decent patch notes i'll take a look, i normally dont bother updating until stuff goes live because they can change anything up until the last minute

[Rayz]

How do I open the options with PQI for the newest version? Either I I forgot how to do it or it was removed from 1.7 to 1.8.

[Ninjaderp]

You tried rightclicking your PQI-bar and chosen Rotation Configurator?

[USBstick]

I'm not sure if this is a PQI problem or a profile problem, but if anyone could help me out with it it'd be great.
Auto RoF doesn't seem to work for me anymore, the default right-alt doesn't activate it and when I change hotkeys to set it to, for example, left-alt it spams Rain of Fire until it's out of mana and then simply stops working.

Here's the current warlock changes:

General

Corruption damage has been increased by 10%.
Demonic Gateways are no longer attackable once more. The debuff from using a Demonic Gateway has been increased to 60 seconds (up from 15 seconds).
Fel Armor no longer reduces all damage taken by 10%.
Fel Flame now deals 13% more damage, costs 2% less mana, and no longer increases the duration of damage-over-time spells.
Immolate damage has been increased by 10%.
Rain of Fire now has a reduced chance to generate Burning Embers.
The Codex of Xerrath now infuses additional spells with fel magic (green fire effect).
Summon Felsteed, Summon Dreadsteed, Summon Abyssal, Demonic Fury, Dark Apotheosis, and Demonic Leap.

Affliction

Agony damage has been increased by 16%.
Drain Soul no longer energizes Soul Shards from the pets and guardians of players, and now deals 34% less damage. If other periodic Affliction damage effects are triggered by Drain Soul, they now deal 60% of their normal damage (down from 100%).
Haunt now deals 50% more damage, and increases damage done by all of the Warlock's damage-over-time spells against the target by 45%.
Malefic Grasp now deals 34% less damage, and causes all of the Warlock's other periodic Affliction damage effects to instantly deal 30% of their normal periodic damage (down from 50%).
Nightfall now gives Corruption a 10% increased chance to generate a Soul Shard on the most recently applied Corruption.
Soul Swap no longer does any damage, and now copies damage-over-time effects instead of just moving them without needing a glyph. Copied effects now once again preserve their power and duration. Duration has been reduced to 3 seconds (down from 20 seconds).
Unstable Affliction damage has been increased by 21%.

Demonology

Dark Soul: Knowledge now increases the effects of Mastery: Master Demonologist by an additional 30%.

Talents

Archimonde's Vengeance has been redesigned and renamed into Archimonde's Darkness.
Archimonde's Darkness gives the Warlock's Dark Soul spell two charges.
Grimoire of Sacrifice no longer affects Drain Life.
For Affliction Warlocks, Grimoire of Sacrifice now increases the power of various single target spells by 20% (down from 30%).
Harvest Life no longer replaces Drain Life. Harvest Life is now a passive talent that increases Drain Life's damage by 50%, and healing by 150%. The talent no longer turns the ability into an area-of-effect spell.
Howl of Terror is no longer a talent and is now a baseline skill for all Warlocks.
Demonic Breath is a new talent replacing Howl of Terror. The Warlock sends out a cone of Shadow damage, snaring targets, has a 20-second cooldown.
Kil'jaden's Cunning no longer reduces movement speed, and will now allow the Warlock to cast Incinerate, Malefic Grasp, and Shadow Bolt while moving.
Mannoroth's Fury is no longer a passive ability. Mannoroth's Fury now has a duration of 10 seconds with a 60 second cooldown, and increases the area of area-of-effect by 500% and increases damage by 100% for Hellfire, Immolation Aura, Rain of Fire, and Seed of Corruption.
Soul Leech can now also activate from Shadowburn, and caps out at 15% of the Warlock and their pet's maximum health (down from 100%).
Soul Link now transfers 20% of damage taken by the Warlock to their pet, and 3% of all damage dealt by the Warlock will be returned as healing for the Warlock and their pet. This ability is always active while the Warlock's pet is active.

I've highlighted the important bits. Rain of Fire is no longer part of the single target rotation and Immolate has been buffed slightly to compensate. Kil'jaden's Cunning no longer reduces movement speed BUT only works with the spells listed I'm going to miss Chaos Bolts on the move. I don't think you'll have much to change at all if any.

[billybuffalo]

Been meaning to ask, will the profile hang while we r on the move and when it thinks it is time to cast chaos bolts? In 5.4 of course.

[Mavmins]

i'll play around with it as soon as 5.4 comes out as I dont use the PTR

Fixed. It was a problem with the addon. I still don't get a list of the hotkeys in my chat window when loading up the profile though.

@Mavmins. Is it possible to do the most single target DPS with this profile on full auto (No hotkey presses involved)?
