[Demo Lock] More DPS on BPC

[Duldregirn]

If you play a demo spec and have specced into decimation you can get extra dps on blood prince council. Just target one of the princes that are not empowered and cast SB or incinerate and use the 10 second duration on decimation to spam Soul Fire on the empowered target. Once decimation falls off just cast a SB on another target not empowered to get the buff again.

It will give you slightly more dps until you get to 35% or less when you can just spam Soul Fire normally. Hope this helps some people!

Not even close to being an exploit. Plus, have fun when your raid leader bitches at you. Look at your effective dps too .

Your raid leader wouldn't know what he's talking about, casting a rank 1 shadowbolt on a non empowered target to proc Decimation is a DPS gain on the empowered target.

When you Shadowbolt, Incinerate or Soul Fire a target that is at or below 35% health, the cast time of your Soul Fire spell is reduced by 40% for 10 sec. Soul Fires cast under the effect of Decimation cost no shard.

The guy is right, you fire a shadowbolt then enjoy the free soul fires, so no they don't cost shards.

Still, its not an exploit, just common sense for any decent warlock.

But is the 2 seconds out of every 10 seconds while casting a 'empty' spell worth the dps boost? I haven't played demo that much, I just know every second counts with burst in destruction

[Subset]

Uhm, this would be more of a guide than exploit, as this works for anything in this manner such as Faction Champs in ToC.

[jacko666]

Well, its 2 seconds in every 12, since the shadowbolt procs the 10 second decimation, and for me at least, soulfires with decimation, take less time to cast than a shadowbolt and do more damage, so yes it is well worth it.

This all assumes a smooth switching process though, so if you shadowbolt then run away to avoid a shock vortex, soak a flame sphere or hit up a kinetic orb, then it will be a dps loss.

It comes down to good judgement, timing and the ability to read the fight well, so this is a tactic for better players that understand the mechanics and the encounter.

Do with this, what you will.
