WoW Stuff

[irish_prime]

Been tweaking my DoT rotations and what not and playing with my potential DPS. I could probably toss Soul Fire into the mix for a bit of a boost, but I feel pretty good about these numbers.Quick Summary

• No buffs
• No consumables
• No reagents
• Solo
• 14 minutes

I often wonder if I'd play WoW more often than I do now if I had rolled a DPS class from the beginning.

Pretty good numbers there though. :)

I would imagine so. Killing stuff is generally more fun than healing.

And thank you. :D

[judge_jebus]

I didn't heal either. I was a tank. :P

[irish_prime]

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. lol

I've never had interest in tanking. Too much putting trust in other people to keep you alive.

the only thing I really miss about wow anymore is obscene burst dps.

I am really surprised you managed to keep that dps up for that duration of time.

Well, the thing is... I don't really have any burst DPS anymore. If you look at the skill breakdown you can see the majority of my damage comes from DoTs. Really, the best burst DPS potential I have is when Nightfall procs I can throw an instant Shadow Bolt, follow it with a Death Coil and then a Shadowburn. Without Ruin, Conflagrate or Shadowfury my options for dealing damage quickly are pretty limited. The Affliction tree really shines when it comes to sustaining DPS and DPS against multiple targets. Single target fights that should last less than 20 seconds... my DPS isn't that impressive.

My Frozen Shaadoweave set bonus returns 2% of all shadow damage I deal as health, Fel Armor increases healing I receive by 20%, and Siphon Life heals me twice (once by the nature of the spell and again from Frozen Shadoweave) so I get enough health coming in to Life Tap a lot and the Imp regenerates mana so quickly I can Dark Pact frequently. With the exception of Immolate, all the spells I used were shadow.

Not to rag on Irish but 762 DPS isn't exactly what it used to be in vanilla WoW. I'm not sure when the last time you actively played was, spencer. It is definitely still a respectable amount to put out solo and for such a long time. The real key to this here is that he's able to do it completely solo for 14 minutes. I'm sure he could go ahead and do it for an hour with minor variation to the DPS as well. I call cheats.

This is where warlocks being fucking cheaters comes in. Health to mana... heal with damage... fuckers are imba.

Irish! Start doing some WWS parses from raids!

[irish_prime]

I absolutely will be once I raid again. I missed Mag on Tuesday, but I should be in Gruul/SSC/TK tonight.

I'll hit you up on GTalk about some other stuff.
