Affliction is awesome, right? Glad I could help you learn something :)

Thank you! I really only have one macro for those, and it is a macro for vile taint. It is an @cursor macro, so it casts the spell immediately where my cursor is. Very convenient, but you will not see the green circle indicating where the spell will land, so it takes some getting used to. Give it a try if you want :) I just press my regular keybinds for agony #showtooltip /cast [@cursor] Vile Taint

I actually have most of a destro video made for queen ansurek, but I've posted like 3 videos in a row about her haha. I will post it this weekend!

I'm glad I was able to help ya out :) I wan to get some content out for each boss in the raid! Dungeons are on my list too

Thank ya! That is a part of my BigWigs setup. Make sure it is updated, and if it still doesn't appear like mine, you can type /bigwigs and go into the specific settings per boss and change what does/does not show. For example, that "slow" you referred to is called "Paralyzing Venom" in bigwigs, and if you check the boxes for bars and/or messages you will get notifications like I have. Hope that helps!

Glad to hear it! You are luckier than I am, haha. I don't have spymaster's web on any of my toons yet, so I haven't been able to play with it. I did some research on warcraft logs of other warlocks who have it, but it is really hard to say when the best time to use it is. I think it depends on what type of damage your raid needs. A lot of the top warlocks I looked at used spymaster's web exclusively during add phases with their other cooldowns. If your group doesn't have a lot of cleave, then using it at 4 minutes (with the big shield add during phase 2) and around 6:30 or 7:30 ish on one of the phase 3 add sets will give you the highest dps. If your raid needs boss damage, though, then it gets a bit awkward. Our two minutes come off of cooldown at awkward times with this trinket, usually during the intermission or on adds that get destroyed immediately anyway. If you want to do boss damage, maybe using spymaster's right at 2 minutes with your other CDs, and then again at around 6 minutes in phase 3, and maybe one more time towards the end of the fight if you have time to do so. Sorry I can't give you an exact answer, but once I get the trinket I will try to update with some better info :) hope this helps

Hey, great question! So after I popped the first bomb, vile taint IS off cooldown, but I want to save it to use with soul rot on the webs that come about 20 seconds later. Instead of using vile taint every single time It was up, I wanted to save it mostly for when adds were up.

Thanks! I like the seed of corruption tech too, but the adds die too quickly now, lol.

Hey there. There are different types of parses. Dps parses, healing parses, boss damage, etc. Generally, for a DPS parse, what matters is your damage. So, having better gear and doing your rotation well will in general result in better parses. That being said, some fights have adds that are not counted on warcraft logs, so to parse well, you need high dps on the targets that matter. There is so much that goes into getting a good parse. Gear, group size, group dps, consumables, PI, adds vs single target, doing mechanics correctly, etc... A generic answer about how to improve your parses would be to get comfortable with your rotation on a target dummy and getting comfortable with the mechanics on the boss. Once you feel comfortable with both it is much easier to actually parse. I hope that kind of answers your question. I plan on making some guide/commentary videos for the bosses in Nerub-ar Palace to help highlight some ways to improve on each boss :) Are there any specific bosses you are having trouble with?

@@krozothebozo Thank you very much for the answer, it helped a lot. My guild started HC progression this week and my parses are between 75 and 85 but I know I make a lot of mistakes in rotation. I didn't know about this detail about Wlog not counting certain adds, I'll pay more attention. A guide that I would find extremely interesting would be tips for the bosses and also for m+, I believe they would help a lot. Thanks again for the answer, hugs from Brazil

@@Matheus_Ronu 75-85 is pretty good for your first week of progression! Have you used the website "Wowanalyzer" before? You link the log of a specific fight and it will give you some info on basic things you can improve on (dot uptime, overcapping soul shards, etc..) And yeah, warcraft logs just had an update for Rasha'nan, the leaderboards do not count add damage anymore. I'll keep m+ in mind as well!

For sure! I don't really use that many addons or weakauras to be honest. I made my UI setup in edit mode, based on the classic layout [the link breaks when I try to post it in the comments here, sorry :( ] After that I use the Afenar warlock pack to track my warlock abilities : wago.io/Afenar_Warlock Then I just use BigWigs to track raid encounter timings and Details for dps meter. I'm not sure how to link them, but just look up BigWigs and/or Details where you download your addons from.

@@krozothebozo thanks bro for fast reply,I really like the tracker layout for your main cooldowns and dots . Icons are large and very clean , is that the default afenar or did you customise ?

@@EdmundAlley No problem! I edited his a little bit. I removed the utility section that tracks soulstone, demonic circle, etc since i didnt need it. I also removed the sound effect from one thing it was tracking. Minor changes really. That being said, I am using an older version, so the new one might be slightly different than what I have tbh. I haven't compared them, lol.

The main reason I'm parsing well ;)

Thanks for the idea! I want to work on some guides so I'll see about making one relating to rotation/managing CDs. :)

I really enjoy using shadow bolt. It does more damage upfront, and nightfall procs making it instant cast make shadow bolt feel much better to use during hectic fights with movement, or just for maintaining shadow's embrace. Drain soul does a lot more damage in execute, though, which is generally the most important place to have damage. Most of the top logs will be using drain soul but SB is definitely a viable option if you like it. I use shadow bolt on Silken Court for sure. So I used vile taint to somewhat pad if I am being honest, lol. It applies curse of exhaustion, so I could slow the gloom adds in phase 3, but also it applies two dots so my raptures hit those adds harder. My boss damage was quite low because I used vile taint over ps. My group had a lot of boss damage though, so it was fine for me to cheese a little bit.

Thank you! Affliction will be fine to play in the raid, and even the best spec on some fights. Destruction damage is pretty close to aff but feels a lot more consistent to me, soul shard generation is much more reliable and the spec is quite simple too. Plus you have a lot more mobility in destro compared to aff with so many instant casts with shadowburn and conflagrage, so you aren't punished as much when moving during a lot of the hectic fights. That being said; I think you should just play whatever spec you are most comfortable on. I will play a mix of aff and destro in the raid since they are my most comfortable specs! :)

@@krozothebozo thanks! looking forward to your new videos.

Thank you! I use the "Warlock Pack" by Afenar, I'll link it for you. The pack tracks some warlock utility (soulstone, healtstone, ports, etc..) but I delete that part of the WA to clear my screen of clutter. wago.io/Afenar_Warlock

you like having 2 cast bars?

@@The_Sin_Man lol honestly i just didnt wanna remove the default cast bar from the edit mode in wow ui. now i kinda like it as a meme

I thought I replied to this comment, but I can't see it. Sorry for being so late to reply. I use the Afenar Warlock Weakaura pack. wago.io/Afenar_Warlock

thank you bro B)

still interested in your weak aura if its possible :(

nvm i found it srry! great vid

Hey, man, sorry i never saw your comment. I use the Afenar warlock weakaura pack! ​@fuq7123

That was day 3 of pugging for that many hours, lol. Thank you

voidwalker doesnt tank shit lmao

I think demon skin is fine. The passive healing it gives will be super helpful since you can avoid most of the damage in this fight. You'll be punished more for taking extra damage though.

Thanks! I personally think it is kinda neat that old gear works well in there, but I made my warlock fresh in shadowlands so I didn't have any great legacy items to play with. I think the problem now is that the prices of the ones you can buy are super inflated

When I am in the mage tower, my stats are scaled down to 9% crit, 22% haste, 51% mastery, and 6% vers. I'd recommend getting your haste high for this challenge if you are having trouble prioritizing stats, mine might be a little low tbh. And the second "dark soul" is Soulletting Ruby. The trinket's buff effect has the same icon as DSM. One thing I would suggest to you is to record some of your pulls, and rewatch them to see where your main mistakes are. A lot of my attempts originally were just me bashing my head at it, but once I watched myself play I saw obvious mistakes. I mentioned it in the video, but the Focus macro for kick was immensely helpful for me interrupting Fel Burst.

@@krozothebozo I'm at 360 int 19% crit, 19% haste, 47% mastery, 1% vers. My trys are real solid always between 10-12 min, I'm able to interrupt all casts, things go south when 5 mini-worms start spawning. Ill keep trying, thanks for the video

I'm also getting stuck once adds go above 5. Just picked up engineering to see if bombs might work. Just need to survive two extra underground worm phases and i'll beat it. I managed to get Tugar down twice now but worm got me on enrage because it had too much HP left so I need an extra round or two of dps on the worm before I take down Tugar but all my attempts lead to 2-3 adds being still up at the end once worm pops back out and I waste DPS time on them. Probably just need to make sure I always have 5 soul shard ready before underground phase though

If this is a consistent problem you're having, I'd imagine you are missing the interrupt frequently. I'd say on your next couple of attempts, play like normal, but put all of your focus into making sure you hit the interrupt or CC it each time. The totem itself shouldn't be a problem with all of the instant damage we have, so kicks really are the worst part. Side note, if you have no conflag charges, or shards for shadowburn, I recommend using immolate to kill the totem as it is a quick cast, and the damage has no travel time. Good luck :)

@@krozothebozo I just get auto attacked down… and I can’t kill the eggs fast enough… they spawn every single time. And when I finally kill them I am dead from auto attacks from the dude…

@@thisguyhd6591 Aaah, I see. Drain life is your friend in that case. Channeling for only a few seconds will recover a good portion of your hp. You can always get a good drain off when feltotem is casting Earthquake, and the worm goes underground. He isn't hitting you then, so as long as the falling rubble doesn't hit you, there is no damage for like 5 seconds. In my attempts, I found that when I healed early (like 70% hp) and often relieved a lot of stress in the challenge. Also, the BFA and Legion health potions heal substantially more than the shadowlands ones.

Keen eye haha! I definitely need that haha, thanks for the recommendation

Yes! He charges at you wherever you are, so if you aren't ready to dodge, you will get hit every time. Watch from 5:35 and I talk about it there. He will slightly emerge from the ground, and that is when you know he will charge at you, you can also read his text in the chat box too. Once he starts charging after that, he just goes in a straight line. Try to position by the rocks on the ground to remove his debuff!!

Hey there, in this video the weakauras you see are just: wago.io/Afenar_Warlock This is my main one I use to keep track of warlock abilities. I've used it for all of shadowlands and really like Afenar's designs. wago.io/aSOuHhkye/2 This one tracks my infernal duration timer on the left side of my UI. It also tracks your demons for demonology which really helps tyrant setups, and darkglare for affliction. I totally stole that one from Kalamazi Hope this helps~

do it on a monk, did it third try in full shadowlands pvp gear. complete meme how easy it was.

i did it first on disc, easy then WW, not even a challenge, BM hunter that ive never played was easy enough but it SUCKS for warlock. the timers are soo tight and sometimes it simply isnt possible to get everything

I think the reason that the macro is a question mark occasionally is because your pet is dead, or you haven't summoned it yet. A similar macro you could make would be : #showtooltip /target Tugar Bloodtotem /Cast Spell Lock I tested this out just now and it worked every time. It literally just targets him, then casts the interrupt. Hopefully this macro will help out, let me know how it goes!

@@krozothebozo ye seems i have to Play it like that.. Nah pet is always Alive Just the game dont get it for some reason idk Whats Happening I mean on every Other spell this macro works Just on pet Not Makes it bit slower to dps for me without macro very unlucky Blizz.. But your vid helps alot anyways ty Never played lock much Just for orderhall mounts and Now tmog :D needed this Still could need a focus macro :c

@@evoly9765 That is definitely weird, both of these macros had worked fine on my end. It might be a problem with copy pasting i'm not really sure :\ I'm sure you'll be able to get the transmog in the end anyways though B)

@@krozothebozo yea i will try anyways :D still takes a bit time. Gear matters alot to skip fast i think my bolts crit 1.3k and yours 2,4 🤣 But with your guide i still come to 30% now was 60% more then before 😅

i had a similiar problem with the affliction challenge. everytime i entered with summoned felhunter he wont let me interrupt. re-summoning the pet before starting the encounter worked for me. dunno if thats the same for you

It is definitely just unavoidable damage. It was similar in damage to his melees on me, so yeah I'd say its just something you gotta heal through. I found great times to get some extra healing off were right when he started the Earthquake cast. He was doing no other attacks to you, and you didn't have anything else to worry about for a few seconds. Also try healing when you are higher HP maybe 70% or 60%. In the video I spend a lot of the time really low HP and it made it unnecessarily stressful lol. Good luck :)

I had a similar problem too. I found that his cast sequence is pretty predictable after a few attempts. If you notice your MC and kick are on CD, and he hasn't casted in a bit be ready to fear. If you keep curse of tongues on him, you can fear almost halfway through the Fel Burst cast and still interrupt it

@@krozothebozo I didn't even think of using curse of tongues

you need lots of haste for this. was struggling for 2-3h with full int and very low haste (about 14% in the tower). But when i went in with 27% haste (in the instance), everything was much easier. always tongues on the tauren and 2 fear macros, one for the tauren and one for the worm. was mostly fearing both on their casts, only used coil or spell lock if coil was on cd on the tauren if i had to move etc. oh and get dbm challenges. the timers for fel blast and sonic scream were extra helpful.

That is a Sanctum of Domination Vantus rune. It just gives like 100 vers when I'm in combat with a single boss in SoD, and lasts a full week. I used it on Sylvanas

Thanks! My ui is really just the default wow UI and Afenar's warlock UI. wago.io/Afenar_Warlock Other than that I just have certain encounter weakauras, or just ones to track buff uptime. If there are others you are interested in lmk ! :)

Yeah when It came out everyone was calling it the fall guys boss lol
