I need help I believe I have good gear
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Eldre%27Thalas&n=Deatacita
but I am having trouble doing 4K+ dps. I am using this spec
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=IZcxM0cZVcGVR0uAsAfcx
. My rotation is corr, imm, conflag, than I spam incinerate until I can use conflag again then I just repeat that. Any suggestions on a spec and rotation would be great. Thanks
From easiest to hardest:
change your meta to:
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=41285
change your spec. this build will do more DPS and play almost exactly the same
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=IbZfbc0cZVcGqM0uVkAcct
or move a bit more into demo wiht SnF/MD build like this on
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=IZfxczsg0V0zZVcGVr0uVzA
more time/money consuming: drop herbalism and pick up either jewelcrafting or enchanting
I didn't see which glyphs you had so, make sure for a deep destor build you have:
Glyph of Imp
Glyph of Immolate
Glyph of Conflagrate
Hope it helps and happy face melting

Just wanted to ask you and i know you probably answered this a thousand times by now. What makes aff during a raid put out some more then say spamming shadowbolt or incin?
I know so far i have done some 12k crits and which seemed big but overall what does aff just have more consistent per second damage that over rides the burst?
Bascially yes. Demo and Destro have nice burst numbers but affliction is like a pain train, once it starts it just keeps on coming. Also since the bulk is from dots, hi mobility fights, fights stuns, etc don't cause as large a DPS drop once the affliction lock has loaded up the boss even with the rotation borking.

also wanted to comment and ask a question about the haunt/ruin life tap build. Wouldn't it be more beneficial to put the points into molten core and cataclysm versus improved shadow bolt because with your dots Mc will always be proccing and you get 2 pts for cata.
No, MC boosts DPs to 1 spell for affliction locks and it is the lowest DPS spell of the batch, 1 point provides sufficient chance to proc it with the large # of shadows dots you use. iSB boosts both your main nuke and all your shadow DOTs
But also i was thinking with the tier bonus each time we life tap we get a spirit bonus. So in theory since we are already getting hp back from haunt and siphon, wouldn't life tap be more of a benefit then using dark pact?
Yes, LT provides more mana than DP. DP is optional. The main advantage is that it can be used when you need mana and the healers are too busy to heal you.
Last on your rotation for aff u said use Shadow Bolt first but wouldnt it be haunt first since it increases all your dots, then apply each one and while they are ticking using incin?
thanks in advance ttyl
1st affliction locks should use SB not incin, period
2nd, you lead with SB becuase it will trigger
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=32394
and it might proc
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=17803
which would boost Haunt's damage

hey blight as usual ty for taking the time out to respond to me. I am at the moment a bit frustrated. I been using aff and i enjoy the rotation and think i have it done perfectly. I am doing naxx right now taking a short break and honestly i can't even come in the top 12 lol
I just checked my recount on Noth and i did on him 3300. Seems like i dunno i did more when i was felguard spamming shadow bolt cause i was always pushing 4k. My rotation is on par and just i dunno i would like to at least come in the top 6 lol but not sure what i am doing wrong i feel so clueless.
I have all my valorous except my head and i need the turning tide and one trinket. Feel free to armory me and tell me if im missing something
ttyl
