    Little extra info regarding the opener, that I didn't explain well enough throughout the video. I would suggest you to read this if you think the opener looks a bit funky!
    When I made the youtube video, i realized only after i uploaded it that I stood too close to the boss, if i stand that close in a raid enviroment i'll alrdy have pre-pulled the boss, im too close.
    The whole idea of the 2x shadowbolt opener, is that your 1st precasted shadowbolt lands when the pulltimer hits 0, at that very point where it lands, ur 2nd shadowbolt cast will be finished, and with the pre-pot and shadow bolt debuff now on target you have what u need to start rolling your corruption.
    (keep in mind, in the video file i shared, I don't have 5% haste from shaman and 3% haste from boomie/ret, so my casts are not as fast as they should, and im in full SWP gear except for like 3 pieces).
    Keep in mind shadow bolt is the highest dmg per second used casting or w/e it's called, and if you would instead UA instead of the 2nd shadowbolt, it will be applied before the 1st shadowbolt even lands, the cast is too fast, and if u haunt you're "wasting" quite a few seconds of the debuff where no dots are ticking, and haunt does really low damage on its own. With the haste from shaman + boomie/ret, your haunt will also land before the first tick of UA happens on the target.
    Ofcourse, I'm not saying that this is the one opener to rule them all, you can't use it in every single raid enviroment, you will have to adapt to your raid, to your rogues (if you are getting tricks on pull you ofc dont corruption untill he has given you t ricks, you having the tricks buff instantly on pull is a lot to ask and probably wont happen in many clans).
    When I made the video I wanted to make sure that I wasn't completely wrong, so I pulled up zephans wotlk aff guide (he is the king of warlock sims/spreadsheets) where he also suggested the pre-cast shadowbolt into 2nd shadowbolt on opener
    So adapt adapt adapt. I made a little clip where I also try to showcase it. streamable.com/6uayqm

      @adammada511 2 года назад +3

      I'm struggling to follow your opener logic here, so please correct me how I'm wrong with the following observation. A couple of things, firstly the corruption 'snapshot' Wouldn't that ONLY snapshot current benefits (Then roll ONLY those benefits on via SB, DS & Haunt). Meaning that, based upon your opener the corruption snapshot misses out on Haunt buff and shadow embrace x3 (Because you don't manually reapply corruption after obtaining those, you instead roll on the original snapshot with Shadow Bolt).
      If it's true that you can corruption first, then get your shadow embrace x3 and haunt up after it, and it indeed does apply those buffs to your corruption snapshot, that would also mean that if those buffs (And any other buffs) expire, then corruption would re'snapshot again without those buffs. My logic here is that if corruption can GAIN buffs after it's used, then it can also LOSE buffs after it's used.
      A true 'snapshot' would be that corruption is only benefited by the buffs you have at the time of first application (Everlasting affliction perpetuates that original snapshot right?), so then corruption wouldn't be amended after that original point with either a buff gain or a buff loss. Meaning that the correct way to open would be to get shadow embrace x3 and Haunt up BEFORE using corruption, then you roll on that maximized corruption snapshot with a Shadow Bolt. So is my amalgamation a fallacy or is this correct?

      My bro...i love this video!! i've watched so much crap on youtube and this one pretty much gives me all the early answers i need, my guild is having me roll an Af lock for wrath, i've never in almost 20 years played a warlock, never mind afl, could you please pump out more content regarding this class, it would be greatly appreciated

      @@adammada511 I like what you're saying, and in a 'normal' world it would be correct. I have a long segment about corruption rolling in my new advanced affliction guide. And stuff like haunt debuff, shadow embrace, curse of elements debuffs etc are dynamic. The only debuff your corruption cares about is the 5% crit debuff

But my serious DPS knowledge is lacking in some of the very basics which have made other guide a little useless for me since I can't understand what they are telling me. Thanks for the clear explanations without making me feel like an idiot. Taking it one step at a time, learning all I can, and now looking forward to more guides from you.

    Loving your stuff. I've been playing support demo since p1. We recently recruited a new lock and they prefer demo so I'm finally switching to Aff. My first two weeks have been rough. Looking at my logs and others I'm able to see uptime on my UA and CoA as the biggest problem. However, after watching this I see I've had my opener all wrong too. I'm telling myself to master the basics before I start working on the advanced stuff, but it's hard to wait.

  • @miraage
    @miraage Год назад +1

    (why do I watch your twitch for some months and only found out your YT channel a few days ago..)
    Anyway! I can't help myself but to add a small but imho good point for JC (for all classes): JC allows more flexibity in gear on the way to BiS. It's not necessarily the case that we'll always have the desired items. Some of the items will lack hit and/or expertise, and having big ass gems to cover those missing stats can be very handy.

    Thanks for the video.
    Does corruption snapshot debuffs on the boss too, or only your own damage stats? E.g. CoE (or DK debuff), the + shadow damage, Haunt etc?
    Understand not to clip CoA etc. but what about Haunt, is the loss of 1 tick of haunt worth more or less than the risk of other dots (including corruption if yes on Q1) ticking without Haunt?
    You dont mention bloodlust / heroism. If corruption snapshots haste (which i think it does), does that mean you should wait for hero, or potentially re-trinket on hero and recast corruption?
    Sorry for being a bit late to the party :)

      Hello there, thank you for your questions. I have made an advanced guide where I have a long segment about rolling your corrurption that will answer all your questions! TLDR is that debuffs like haunt, shadow embrace, curse of elements act dynamicly, and corruption also acts dynamically on your haste!

    uff having both engineering and Jewelcrafting will cost alot of money considering you can't have mining.
    haven't really played warlock since Burning crusade (original), where I played the SL/SL (Siphon life/soul link) spec for PvP, it was so much fun.

    for leveling (60-80) which of the two talent trees would you recommend?

    • @takenotetv9101
      @takenotetv9101  2 года назад +1

      I am a firm believer of the strength of affliction when it comes to outdoor lvling with quests etc. it's just too good. If you however group up with your friends and seek out spamming dungeons instead, I think demo is amazing for that!

    Love the info from your videos I have two questions though. 1. How come you wouldn't SB + SB + then Haunt then apply other DOTS, Since Haunt increase all shadow damage over time by 23%? Also my second question is would it be better to rank 1 SB then max rank SB to get the debuff on the target quicker with the rank 1 SB having a 1.08 sec cast?

    Hey, really great guide!
    Whats the best timing for trinkets/racials ? after the first/second shadowbolt/s for snapshotting first dots? Whats more worth for snapshotting corruption (in Prepatch - Haste like Skull/Sliver or Spellpower like Hex Shrunken Head) - and when 2 use the 2nd trinket? - Instandly after the first trinket ends or when ur dots are about 2 fall of (snapshot them all again (besides corruption))?

    • @takenotetv9101
      @takenotetv9101  2 года назад +1

      As soon as you want to apply your dots on the opener, you should activate the trinket! An argument can be wait with holding your trinkets etc if the boss fight is TOO fast and you cant get them ready for the execute! Using 2nd trinket either on execute or when re-applying UA and agony is a good idea, but it all comes down to boss kill times. If delaying trinkets even a little bit results in you not getting another use of them it becomes wasteful!

      Thank you for your comment, as this was a beginners guide I didn't feel like weapon swapping belonged in here, so I added it into the Advanced warlock guide instead!

    Hey man. I don't have private server xp like you do, but I came back a few months ago and was in a top 10 25h guild back in cata and mop as a boomkin. Playing aff because boomkin isn't a dot class until cata with eclipse which acts as a unique but similar snapshotting meta as to have aff plays in wotlk. Do a rotation guide for single target like you did but also for different # targets. For example, boomie had 3 rotations (not taking into account macro eclipse management and fight timings): single target, 2 target, 3+/aoe. Do the same for aff. Maybe the 2 and 3 target rotation is the same and aoe is considered 4 or more. Stuff like that. Also, sync up the audio with the spells during rotation explanation. Maybe livecast it for this part. Looking forward to more videos in detail.

    How come you open 2x SB before Corr? I thought you only wanted to land one SB for the debuff

    • @takenotetv9101
      @takenotetv9101  2 года назад +1

      When I made the youtube video, i realized only after i uploaded it that I stood too close to the boss, if i stand that close in a raid enviroment i'll alrdy have pre-pulled the boss, im too close.
      The whole idea of the 2x shadowbolt opener, is that your 1st precasted shadowbolt lands when the pulltimer hits 0, at that very point where it lands, ur 2nd shadowbolt cast will be finished, and with the pre-pot and shadow bolt debuff now on target you have what u need to start rolling your corruption.
      (keep in mind, in the video file i shared, I don't have 5% haste from shaman and 3% haste from boomie/ret, so my casts are not as fast as they should, and im in full SWP gear except for like 3 pieces).
      Keep in mind shadow bolt is the highest dmg per second used casting or w/e it's called, and if you would instead UA instead of the 2nd shadowbolt, it will be applied before the 1st shadowbolt even lands, the cast is too fast, and if u haunt you're "wasting" quite a few seconds of the debuff where no dots are ticking, and haunt does really low damage on its own. With the haste from shaman + boomie/ret, your haunt will also land before the first tick of UA happens on the target.
      Ofcourse, I'm not saying that this is the one opener to rule them all, you can't use it in every single raid enviroment, you will have to adapt to your raid, to your rogues (if you are getting tricks on pull you ofc dont corruption untill he has given you t ricks, you having the tricks buff instantly on pull is a lot to ask and probably wont happen in many clans).
      When I made the video I wanted to make sure that I wasn't completely wrong, so I pulled up zephans wotlk aff guide (he is the king of warlock sims/spreadsheets) where he also suggested the pre-cast shadowbolt into 2nd shadowbolt on opener
      So adapt adapt adapt. I made a little clip where I also try to showcase it. streamable.com/6uayqm

    • @takenotetv9101
      @takenotetv9101  2 года назад

      Haste only affects the duration/ticks if you have the major glyph called "Glyph of Quick Decay", which allows your corruption to scale with haste. This glyph is available from a vendor in Dalaran for inscription people, so we won't get it in prepatch sadly:-)

    20:40 It doesn't matter, but 4 times damage is not "400% more". It's 300% more. The word "more" includes the original 100%.

      In dungeons I would use whatever is the most helpful for your group! If you have no int/spirit buff, use felhunter. If you have that, you can use imp if you like in a dungeon group!
