I am at the very bottom of the dps meter every single dungeon I do… ? With all the specs ?
1.3 million dps max overall ? Regardless of how good I play I’ve tested everything and I’m pretty much playing optimal. I know my rotation very well and I know the dungeons 2437 score.
Shams doing 1.8mill + similar ilvl
Hunters doing 1.7mill similar ilvl
Rogues / DK / Ret 1.5mill + easily similar ilvl
Mages doing around 1.5mill
Druids doing around 1.5mill +
Affliction does good damage in big packs but even that isn’t even close to the other classes that I just mentioned, since they’re doing even more at the big packs.
For example Affliction at big pack rotation:
Unstable + Haunt main target + Seed once stacked
Vile Taint + Soul Rot + DarkGlare + Trinket
Spam Malefic Rupture
With all of the cooldowns popped and everything spamming MR and still barely getting close to someone like shaman or ret paladin … ? And keep in mind if I blow my cds like that for 1 pack that means second pack I will most likely wont have Soul Rot therefore no shards and it feels real bad.
Destro is even worse.
Demonology is the worst.
So what’s going on ? Any buffs soon ? How much dps you doing ? Overall in Mythic + ?
Sticking with Warlocks at this moment means that we love this class. And I will. Seriously I have never had any alt. Always play Warlock for years I have account. And this is my second account. First one with Warlock I gave to my neighbor because at that time I had no time to play. And I hate cries about how this sux and ppl changing the classes (I am not talking about you just for sure). So just stay hard, just grit your teeth and enjoy lock
Speaking as an amateur Demo-only Warlock player, the problem is ramp-up time, it takes a while for DPS to get going, and in mythic+ (Where the shorter the fights, the better), that just doesn’t fit well, no idea how to fix that without making Warlocks crazy OP once they “Get going” (Or completely overhauling the entire class), though.
Yeah, ramp-up time is at a pretty low point right now on Demo. Like you, I only play Demo on all of my warlocks and I have noticed this get worse even though cast times for the fillers got shortened.
This is only issue on low keys. And dungeons like Ara-Kara which mobs have very low hp. Direct damage dealers shine on those dungeons.
Right now 1.3m dps overall is more than enough for +10’s. If you are able to do it on item level 619, I say you are pretty good.
Affliction needs ramp up. By the time you start dealing damage, half the mobs are dead. So not ideal for m+ right now. But demonology is not feeling bad. Only issue is Grimoire Felguard is dying on some fights.
The 1.3mill overall is on some dungeons only and with good group and tank who can pull big time. But even with all that I’m always at the bottom of the dps meter. Similar ilvl any other class does a lot more damage. They just need to buff the damage overall, I’m casting a chaos bolt which takes 2 shards and long time to cast and I get 800k crit out of it. Hunters do 1.5mill with aimed shot easily, mages do a lot more with glacial spike and every other dps have something that does big damage. Lock’s chaos bolt which is suppose to be its biggest damage spell is simply too weak. Rain of fire doesnt do much damage. You rely on spreading wither with cataclysm and even then the damage isnt great. Seriously the locks is absolute trash this expansion
