Gladiator Suite - Warlock

[Cokx]

We have started a 25 - 50% off Mid Season Sale today. No idea how long it will last so be in quick.

CR dosn't use Soul Fire while Demo specced :<

*edit*

An Option for auto Shadow Bulwark would be nice though, maybe even in combination with Sacrificial Pact.

Overall loving the Warlock Gladiator Suite! Although I found;
-When the Demonology specialization is active, the Suite doesn't use the ability [Soul Fire] at all
-[Soul Swap] attempts to apply DoTs to a [Banish]ed target
-[Soul Swap] copies the target's DoTs, but sometimes doesn't paste them
-The Suite will pause for a second before re-applying [Unstable Affliction] to a target

What I'd like to see:
-An option to use [Dark Regeneration] and my [Healthstone], without [Drain Life]
-An option to toggle on a RBG mode. So that the DoT rotation is focused more on spreading DoTs to multiple targets, rather than three on one target, then three on the next. For example, spread [Agony] to all targets, then [Corruption], and finally [Unstable Affliction]. With this rotation, us Warlocks could annihilate teams with increased damage and pressure in RBGs and 5v5s!

Never use soul swap, unless ur switching to a burst target without UA up, otherwise its a waste of shards and dps...

 

[Str0be]

An option for Felguard would be nice, as I cannot find it.

 

[illidan01]

1. Soul Fire works for me and I've tested it several times, try a http://wiki.thebuddyforum.com/index.php?title=Honorbuddy:HelpDesk:"Clean_installing"_Honorbuddy

2.Soul Swap is only allowed to swap dots to players or your target. It wont swap on NPCs in PvP zones
But if you are targeting a Pet, it will soulswap on that if you've enabled soul swap in your options

3. That shouldnt happen, can you send me a log?

4. Targets are blacklisted for 2secs if we apply UA on them. BUT it still can happen that it casts UA twice on a unit, this highly depends on your ping; the server lag; the combat log lag


5. Set healthStone to 30% and Dark Regen to 30% and it should use Healthstone before Dark Regen.
/ I will seperate Dark Regen from Drain Life

6. Is it really worth it? Or is it only important to cast Agony on all targets for the stacks?

Cokx,

I'm gonna disagree with this guy on the spread pressure/performance of this CR. I've been playing at the 2k range in RBGs for weeks now and you guys have vastly improved the performance already. I get asked every so often if I'm scripting (which I obviously deny and play dumb about), but that should show you that the pressure is that insane that people are wondering. I wouldn't mess with that portion unless a lot of very high ranked players tell you otherwise. It seems to be perfect right now.

Yes, it makes a huge difference in rbgs. I tried millz demonic and it does a lot more damage overall because it prioritizes applying (and refreshing) agony over the other dots. An rbg option that would enable this would be a great addition. With GS I tend to do ~13mil damage in large team fights, with millz I would do 16-18mil+, which is very significant.

I agree with the guy above that this routine already does more damage than most players, but the point is that it could still be significantly better with these changes.

this is huge fail! If you use agony and corruption before UA your dots never be up on enemies cuz smart healer dispell everything... Unless you are playing at 1500...

Phaedrus i Can disagree here ... For RBGs its vastlt dependant on your Comp, For arenas Sure, UA always ahead to protect other dots, but for some RBGs Comps its not the case. Maybe adding an option or even a toggle hotkey that would allow us to set UA Priority .... 1st or last

 

[Cokx]

I'm currently running some test at the beta where refreshing 10stacks agony has the highest priority.

1. I have just performed a clean install, and still no [Soul Fire] casts

2. That makes sense, considering I was dueling in Durotar (Non-PvP zone), although I wasn't targeted on the [Banish]ed Shadowfiend

3. Here is the log you requested

4. That makes sense!

5. That sounds great, although, it's better to use [Dark Regeneration] and your [Healthstone] at the same time. It should be set to cast [Dark Regeneration], then [Healthstone] slightly (almost instantly) afterwards. Because [Dark Regeneration] also increases your healing recieved by 25% for 12 seconds, so you get a 25% bigger heal from a [Healthstone] if used correctly. This is my healing macro for example:

#showtooltip
/use Dark Regeneration
/use Healthstone

6. I 100% think it's worth it! I play in the top 100 in RBGs on Horde side, currently, and in last season. I find myself having to use 'Richie's Affliction Warlock PvP Combat Routine' for the higher DoT pressure for 5v5s and RBGs, but in every other way your Gladiator Suite is better! I do about 20 million damage with the RBG rotation, and about 12-14 million with the current rotation. IF an RBG mode was implemented, I think it could increase the potential greatly! It's already (in my opinion) the best by FAR for Arenas and everything else Warlock.

Also, thanks for the informative reply!

 

[Cokx]

Sry it will cast Dark Regen and then Healthstone... somehow I've mixed it ^^

#3 maybe your exhale target went out of sight/range a few ms after you soulswapped

Perfect!

I was thinking, because so many [Soul Swap]s are wasted because the target ends up being LoS, what if, instead of doing nothing, attempt send the copied DoTs to another target which isn't LoS'ed? Just thought I'd mention this because it seems waste too many Soul Shards for nothing.

Other things I'd love to see:
-A tick box option to allow the bot to interrupt the next [Polymorph] after a Mage casts [Deep Freeze]

-It would make a huge difference against Mage teams​

-Automatically re-summon your last pet if it dies.

-The bot doesn't seem to re-summon your last pet if it gets killed whilst running with the talent [Grimoire of Sacrifice]​

-A quicker reaction time for [Singe Magic] (Imp Dispel).

-Sometimes it's on point, but 50% of the time it lets the party member sit in the CC for 5 seconds before Dispeling it​

Keep it up, love your work!

I also made a Clean install and still not Casting soulfire:/ could it perhaps Something to do with it that i usw the green Fire for Locks? Maybe this Change the spell id or Simething like this. Im loving your CR as an affli Hit 2,2k in 3s with it. Planning to Release a rogue cr? Would definatly buy it, there no good rogue CRs for PvP on the store though.

Keep your good work up bro !

 

[liptonIce]

Why it uses everytime auto soulstone in Raids? can u make a option for it or turn it off?

Hi,

Just started using this one but cant seem to find any options for :

any control over ember tap? when to use at what % etc.
also any kiljaddens cunning options? when to use or during burst etc? [sometimes im mad enough to select that talent]
can voidwalker command demon [shadow bulwark] be added to pet options?
2 peice pvp set also (in mass pvp at least) benefits from spreading immolate around a bit - any chance to add to that?


been testing the resummon demon on demonic ability CD but even if flames are up and command demon on CD it doesn't do it? [for imp]

also a few times tonight it has got stuck in Fire and Brimstone but has like 0.1 ember so cant do anything. maybe a check for fnb active but less than 1 ember just disable FNB?

how does defensive teleport work as well? doesn't seem hp based because i had one up but it never used it on low hp.

 

[theDizzle]

Damage is pretty solid now, I did 19.8mil in an eots today and I still have a few blue pieces.
