there is new talent on 20sec cd that applies vampiric touch + swp to 8 targets so its pretty sweet

next to the dps meter bottom right

Depends on the build, if you run Mind's Eye (like they do) it's not worth spreading it* But if you run the alternate (12s duration DP and +20% damage) then it is worth spreading it, but you lose priority damage in exchange for overall. *If you have enough to use DP twice in a row, then you do not lose anything by spreading it, but if you spread it without having an excess of insanity then you'll lose uptime, and therefore dps.

its from Viklund on twitch

warlock does probably the highest overall dps in m+

my recommendation would be to dot all of the big lashers and the skitterflys, and then just crash afterwards. your job on that pull is to pump heavy damage into the big hp mobs as your other dps will be killing the small guys

some minor things yes, I would recommend checking on Wowhead or Icyveins for the updated version

Its aug

it was an aug, they are a support class

I would not worry about dotting them, as they will die to passive cleave pretty much. whats holding you back from progressing in the key is the big hp mob (oaks etc) living for a while, I would dot the small lashers when crash is up otherwise its not worth the globals/dps loss on the big hp mobs to dot the lil guys

your biggest goal for those is to DOT the important ones, try to use your shadow crash before all the "shitter mobs" get together your strong point in those fights are not our overall damage, it's your priority damage, in every BH key i've been in, i did about 40-60% of the damage on the big trees/ whatever i had as my main target they're usually also the ones that die later than the rest if there's no priority damage, but in a lot of my keys, they die at the same time.

so a strat that we started doing is taking an extra screech that way 2minute cds line up with the burn phase. other than that, the base answer I can give you would just be it would depend on how long the fight lasts. if you are only getting one or two sets of cds then its worth to hold however, if you send on pull and you can get 3 instead of 2 then its probably worth to send. not really a one size fits all answer unfortunately

It's because there's usually more than 8 targets in high keys, and shadow crash also puts it on 8 targets, preferring those that don't have it, so if he hard casts 5 then he'll have 13 Psychic Link and Shadowy Apparitions targets

@@nymphia21 he manually dots up even on 8 targets tho, also SC often will not apply dots on targets that don't have the dot yet to begin with but that's just a nuisance, i was more wondering why he was manually dotting 8 targets to then dot them with SC again

sometimes theres honestly just not any better globals, if you are heading into a pack and the mobs are split up since shadows ENTIRE damage profile centers around your dots being up to do any damage, its worth to VT a few mobs if they are spread to just get damage rolling

good talent, often can be bait as in higher keys you want to only fade for the dr for mechanics

from viklund on twitch!

weakauras from Atrocity, dot timers and nameplates from Viklund

its most likely from a weakaura pack from Atrocity

with the talent mind's eye(which most people play) then no, with distorted reality you would want to spread.

UI is from Atrocity, plater/dot timers are from Viklund

dot timers are from Viklund on twitch

sometimes if your group members do higher damage or if your tank is pulling smaller your overall will be lower

glad you've been back and enjoying it! and sometimes yes you can embrace without cds(if the only big damage event of the fight is happening outside of your cds for example) however its pretty underwhelming without them up. also I would recommend playing this build if you have no tier set and are in lower keys BIQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEISEAAAAAAAAAAAAgEaRkIl0IJJJJJg0IJJRaEIiEpItQSQBSA

hey thanks! i will try to implement using embrace more often generally i guess even outside cd's. still suck with that ^^

lets gooooo I'm glad!

For pushing this season on spriest, you want 6000 - 7000 haste, 5500-6000 mastery, 2k vers, rest into crit, and sim yourself

Depends on dung and pulls. Generally speaking destro will be top 1 in overall if there are very big pulls on each infernal timing where he can ramp up rains, with smaller pulls spriest will be better, on st they are simillar but spriest usually is better when there is no 2 target cleave. But you need to understand that spriest is not there Just for pure dmg but utility, lock is for stuns and dmg once every 3min(?). Lock has greater potenial on very big pulls when those pulls are kinda "stationery" to not walk of rain, priest needs to dot up to 12 targets

Spriest is there for prio damage with really good aoe on top of it, not reslly for utility

So the dots are rolling on more mobs then 8

Shadow Crash only apply dots to max 8 mobs - so he dots up while the mobs still are spreaded then use SC when they undotted mobs gets close enough.

K thanks

@@minimaann my problem here is i dot 4s then crash 8 but most of the time the ones that got dot will also take the crash, is that normal? i got ousted by my group cause i bricked their keys they blamed me for having low dps. im doing fine with my rotation but this week's volcanic is really making casting hassle. im still building my t4 bonus but mobs are almost dead, grouping with dh and ret, couldnt get my ramps since mobs get killed fast on +12s but i dont think thats the main problem? edit: last season i was doing well topping the dps but im really struggling with this season's tier.
