@@mrsima1234 yeah bro it’s op as. Haven’t played ptr yet but from what iv seen warlock is looking in a good spot again for now but we know that can change
Immolate and corruption ticks would only crit with pandemic as mark says non-periodic. A better aoe rotation is to incinerate then spam shadowbolt volley imo. Whats your take on a decimation+grimoire rune setup and what the RoF rework might look like?
I’m assuming instead of incinerate you meant immolate>conflag>sbv for AOE rotation? Regarding decimation I’m also curious, but I guess we’ll need to see the sims for that. If it’s as strong as wotlk it can be very viable.
the shadow burn rune reminds me of vanilla. So basically, warlocks don't do shit in the trash but drain souls. Imagine if raids wipe a couple times on a single boss, you be out of sharrrrrrrrrds.
@@lukethwaites8523 Each shadow burn costs 1 shard if you can't kill the target within 5 seconds after the cast. If shadow burn becomes part of the rotation, say every 15 seconds, you are consuming 4 shards per minute. Then, you'll need to restock shards during trash fights unless they change the mechanism;;; this may not be a big problem when one-shot all the bosses but could be bad when raids are wiping.
@@lukethwaites8523 Shadowbolts don't give you shards. How are you gonna use shadow burn in the next boss fight after spending 20 shards over the last boss? The answer is to drain souls on trash, right?
@@qijia3707 with such need of shards one can only assume they gonna give us a lot bigger shards bags. So if locks aren’t coming to raid prepared with lots of shards they are letting everyone else down just draining during trash slowing the run down. My main is lock and will always be prepared
arent the mobs/bosses in MC immune to fire? why u went for a firelock then? also all of that build requires a ton of shards. also in wow sod calculator the mark of chaos quote "Your Curse of Agony and Curse of Doom now apply the Mark of Chaos, reducing the target's magical resistances by 75 and increasing all spell damage taken by 11% while they remain cursed." nothing about shadowburn. as firelock u should go with decimation quote "Your Soul Fire spell no longer has a cooldown. Additionally, when you Shadow Bolt, Shadow Cleave, 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." so its better end killing move for bosses under 35 % hp. and since MC is immune (i think it is still is according to devs) or res to fire at least , should we go shadow dmg maybe?
