Fpsware Warlock: Shadow Walker

Good CC> but doesnt always keep soulstone up..

 

I doesn't use Soulstone at all.

 

I'm not saying it to be mean.

But having to answer the same questions over and over when all that needs to be done is read instructions becomes rather frustrating.

 

fixed with new update.

 

I understand what you mean, seeing how many posts were like mine, and also seeing the post below and above mine. No worries.

 

Awesome.

 

okay... so is it gonna be added?

 

Probably not.

 

Any reasons why not? I would love to see this added. I know plugins are out but this is already one of the best CC's.

I know its also been asked, but i would love to see Terror guard/doom guard added with the lovely options for 1, 2 or 3+ mobs to trigger, or even on boss/elite.
And also soul stone support. i haven't died once when grinding, where CLU i died 6-7 times an hour according to HB.

Sorry, 12:30am and grammar/spelling isnt important right now.

 

I'll see what I can do.

I need to give the Warlock some more love. I've been busy with work over the last couple of weeks and the only free time I've been spending on the Hunter.

Its now on the to do list.

Instance DPS rotation optimization for AFFLICTION specialization only.

I'm looking form a fully detailed description of how YOU play your AFFLICTION warlock in instances (heroics or normal).

This will be used for optimizing the rotation for instance use. I'd like to hear every possible scenario you can come up with and how you react to it. Basically, the more detailed you can be about how you play and the reason you choose those spells at that time then the better I can make this rotation.

EDIT: If you've not noticed I have only asked for AFFLICTION rotations. For the love of God if anyone gives me anything other than AFFLICTION rotation I'll freaking nerd rage like a per-pubsecent teen.

At this stage I only want AFFLICTION rotations. I'll ask for the others at a time closer to when I'm ready to implement it.

 

Basically i play this rotation:

Affliction Warlock DPS Rotation, Cooldowns, and Abilities (WoW MoP 5.0.5) - Icy Veins

Contains single and multiple target rotations.

 

hey maybe this can help u a bit (at least the video with commentary), its from a top dps Affliction Warlock of the Guild Nihilum.
Nihilum Evrelia's - How to Affli Warlock

 

fpsware i like your cc's! is this one optimized for DPS? also can u add me on MSN or xfire or skype? tell me what u use. i want to donate but i have 1 other cc developer to donate too first!!

PS: i love your warrlock CC!

 

He's going to be implementing Affliction DPS for dungeons soon, if he hasn't already started. Take a look over the last few posts. I don't think he adds people to his skype unless they're doing beta tests for him. I'm not sure of that. He's also got a donation link on the first post of this thread. He might even have it in his signature, though I'm not sure about that since I don't look at signatures very often. I do know he has one listed somewhere public though, because I've seen it several times. Just goes to show how much I pay attention to that sort of thing, lol.

The DPS optimization is for affliction only though, for now. Please don't ask, send info, or bother him about demon or destruction, or he'll nerd-rage like a pre-pubescent teen on you, lol. Just quoting what he said. xD

 

These spell priorities are accurate.

1 - Haunt - Keep this up when you have Soul Shards.
2 - Agony - Keep this up at 10 stacks.
3 - Corruption - Keep this up.
4 - Unstable Affliction - Keep this up.
5 - Drain Soul - Use this as your filler below 20%.
6 - Malefic Grasp - Use this as your filler above 20%.
7 - Fel Flame - Use this when moving.

At the start of the fight, use Dark Soul, and then Soulburn with Soul Swap, to instantly apply your DoT effects to the enemy. Apply Haunt, and try to keep it up for the entire duration of Dark Soul. Once your Intellect procs are active, update your DoTs with Fel Flame and reapply them again before before Dark Soul expires. For the rest of the fight, keep your DoTs up and use Malefic Grasp as your filler spell, and keep Haunt uptime as high as possible. Once the enemy falls below 20% health, use Drain Soul instead of Malefic grasp.

Remember that if nobody else in your raid is providing the magic damage taken debuff, you should apply Curse of the Elements on every enemy you attack. Remember to use Flask of the Warm Sun at all times, and use Potion of the Jade Serpent immediately before you enter combat, and again at critical stages of the fight.

Advanced Soul Shard Management
Knowing when to use your Soul Shards is what will separate a poor Warlock from a great one.

At the start of the fight you will use a Soul Shard to get Soulburn into a Soul Swap and get your DoTs up. You will use this any time a big cooldown such as Dark Soul is about to expire.

The first rule is never let yourself waste a Nightfall proc. For this reason, you should never sit on 4 Soul Shards. If you get four Shards, throw out a Haunt.
During Dark Soul, try to keep Haunt up with 100% uptime.

The next rule is never to use Haunt when you don't have any Intellect procs active. The video at the top of this thread explains this in more detail.

During the execute, you have unlimited shards. Keep Haunt up with 100% uptime and only use Soulburn: Soul Swap to refresh your DoTs.


8. Spells and Abilities - Multi Target and AoE

SEED OF CORRUPTION: This deals Shadow damage to an enemy over time. Once the target takes enough damage from the Caster, it explodes and deals Shadow damage to all enemies within 15 yards. When used with Soulburn, the explosion applies Corruption to afflicted targets.


Spell Priority: 3 or more targets

1 - Seed of Corruption - Use this with Soulburn to keep Corruption up on each enemy.
2 - Agony - Cast on each enemy.
3 - Seed of Corruption - Apply to each enemy.

In other words, start up with a Soulburn: Seed of Corruption on one enemy, and then apply Agony to each enemy. Once you've done that, rotate Seed of Corruption on each enemy. For extensive AoE, use your Infernal for a huge boost in damage.

What it comes down to is the quality of life things, FPS.
Right now I'm using a very advanced rotation program for Affliction - PQR.
It prioritizes certain things with advanced logic.
Below explains some of the things it does.
Hope this helps give you some ideas.

- Profile is being made as closest possible as the current Affliction profile on SimulationCraft
- CoE up if not applied by anyone else
- maintain DoT's on main target with only Agony interrupting channeling
- Dark soul with trinkets on Left Control button now , added a check not to cast it on bloodlust
- Doomguard on < 20% bossHP or Bloodlust
- DoT's on mouseover with prio on maintaining DoT's on target
- Haunt uptime as much as possible with reserving 3 shards for burn phases
- Haunt burn phases when detects buff on player: Dark Soul, Bloodlust, Heroism, Time Warp , it tries to have 100% haunt uptime while buffed.
- MG as filler > 20% HP, and DS < 20% HP.
- Below boss 20% HP it switches to improvised 4 ticks DS + haunt + dot refresh with SB:SS
- SB:SS cast when Dark Soul buff or Bloodlust to refresh dots so that you can squeeze in as much of MG's as you can
- SSET and GoSac, if you loose buff
- keep pressed Left Shift to do SB:SS on mouseover target
- focus target dotting
- optimisation of DoT refreshing for lvl 90 acording to SimC
- using racials
- uses healthstone
- creates healthstone out of combat
- Dark Intent is now being maintained on all party/raid members now in case of combat ress also
- added Mortal Coil below 50% HP
- Right Ctrl for SB:SoC on target (keep pressed untill it starts casting SoC)
- auto Extra button click on Gara'jal (thx Kinkeh)
- uses Jade Serpent Potion on Bloodlust/Heroism but only on Raid Boss.
- Right Shift now casts Seed of Corruption on current target (it's spammable ofc)

Usage of profile:
- Profile is made for Affliction spec with Grimoire of Sacrifice and Mortal Coil.
- I have already started working on support for patch 5.1 changes to Kil'jaeden's Cunning so it should be supported by the time patch hits us.

Quickcheat sheet for buttons:

- Left Shift - casts SB:SS on mouseover target (keep it pressed untill it casts it)
- Left Ctrl - uses Dark Soul if bloodlust/heroism isn't active at the moment + any trinkets available
- Right Ctrl - casts SB:SoC on current target (keep pressed untill he starts to cast SoC)
- Right Shift - casts normal SoC on current target (it's spammable so you can keep it pressed and rotate targets with TAB)[/COLOR]

All credit and hard work goes to Nilrem2004, and FPSWare for his amazing warlock CC.

 

That is exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you very much

 

Been using this cc from scratch as demonology spec, and it works flawlessly, thank for an awsome CR

 

Great to hear.

 

!Me.HasAura("Fire and Brimstone") needs to be checked as it can try and spam cast it even tho you have the aura if you have more than one ember
