    Hi rugs, nice vid. I just have a few questions:
    - 3:45 If you consider GBOK, wouldn't it be 0.59*1.1 = 0.65 SP / spirit ? And 10/11% hit rating is only for Suppression spec so it's not the hitcap for all talents spec.
    - 4:37 since spirit gives so much there are situations where it's better to gem SP + spirit to get socket bonus (especially in T9 and T10) depending on socket bonus. And you never put orange gems, ever ?
    - 4:51 are you sure about no engineering? Especially since you even show footage of Merfin playing with Enginnering.
    - 5:34 you write to use potion after soul fire whereas at 6:41 he pots before. Generally speaking I think you get in combat when you have a spell flying towards the boss no?
    - 8:12 Concerning demon charge, the interesting comparison would be: if you are at 20 yards from a group of adds, do you spam seed or do you Charge => Immolation Aura + Shadowflame and then Seed ?
    - 8:30 Same question, if you are at 20 - 25 yards from the boss, is it still best to go melee for Immo Aura (and then do you use Charge) or do you just spam spell from 20 yards ? And under execution phase ?
    To sum up, I'd say that you suggest to play as a pure SP bot (with full spell power + spirit, no engi etc). Don't you think that there's a point where improving your own DPS is better than just stacking SP to buff raid ? Pretty sure there's a balance to find between stats and it's slightly more complex that just stacking only SP. Would be interested to see the maths behind.
    Finally i think there's a lot more interesting things to be said and it's too bad to do only a 9 min guide, especially if you cover all tiers of WOTLK.

      @jamiekaspers5769 3 года назад

      1. Yes, other specs needs 14% or 13% respectively
      2. True, you dont put orange gems in, this only increases your personal dmg not your raid
      3. Assuming you want to buff your raid I am sure, engineering gives almost no SP (only from cloak), you can always use a swiftness pot for tricky situations. (ofc this will also nerf your SP since you cant wild magic pot, but these ''oops'' moments dont happen every pull. while you're still stuck with engi every pull
      4. Depends if it puts you in combat or not (some guilds players like to pull before the timer so I play it save and pot before)
      5. You can still charge it depends on how high the adds are and how much time you gain but for single target its often not worth the GCD
      6. its prob just best to refresh your lifetap and dot up some adds instead of charging in that situation, but again it depends on the amount of adds and how much hp they have left,
      the point I was trying to make mostly was its not worth to waste charge for a single target immolation aura

      Also engineering is completely viable with the current ''non progress'' meta imo this guide was written purely from a ''buffed content progress PoV'' - all JC would do is boost your other casters, but I think not having you slob around in the back without engi boots is more detrimental to a speedrun/kill.
      That's why it called ''support demo'' its not 100% of the time gonna be the best fit for your guild, it's gonna give your casters the most dmg however, its up to them to make up for what you lose

  • @JeZzaProductions
    @JeZzaProductions 2 года назад +2

    I would like to highlight that Demonic Pact has been updated in WOTLK Classic and this makes it much easier snapshot than in 3.3.5:
    "Demonic Pact will no longer overwrite an existing Demonic Pact buff, unless:
    There are less than 10 seconds left on the buff (e.g. it has been up for 35 seconds or more).
    The spell power bonus of the new buff are higher than or equal to the power of the existing buff.
    Additionally,
    The internal cooldown of Demonic Pact has been lowered to 5 seconds (was 20 seconds)."
    As the strongest buff is always applied it makes it more of a "set and forget", the ICD being reduced to 5 seconds makes it easier to update Demonic Pact with more procs aligned.
    One thing to mention about Glyphs, Felguard always simmed the most DPS increase from memory (admittedly QD damage doesn't correctly capture the increased uptime in MC on something like Rawr). It makes sense to swap Felguard out for Metamorphosis on a private server where Felguard most likely isn't scripted properly, but assuming on WOTLK classic they fix the Felguard's damage, will it be worth Swapping out the Felguard for Metamorphosis? Or swapping out a different Glyph like QD? Unsure if you have any numbers to back this up, might be worth testing on the beta too.

      Even on private servers felguard (where it is weaker) was USUALLY the glyph of choice, I only glyphed meta if pets were useless on a fight like thaddius or BQL, or if execute was extremely important (36 sec meta execute instead of 30) - for overall damage nothing should have changed, im assuming quick decay is still #2 GOAT trinket but it doesnt work on beta atm, thats why people are not using it there. but they will if it works correctly

      This will remain the same, there are 2 big things that can change. If you hold you felguard back to wait to pop a big demo pact, there is some servers that refresh this number rather than replace it. And there is also many private server that have felguard do way less damage as scaling it different, as stated by the guy above me.

    @Eivres 3 года назад +3

    You talked a lot about snapshoting demon pact but how to do it in practice? Should I stop pet before I peak on Sp and then tell it to attack? Control somehow the updates of demonic pact after that?
    Also I think demo lock should keep up the improved shadow bolt buff during affli drain soul window
    You can also keep up decimate proced by rank 1 shadow bolt with soul fire
    If you want to use immo aura but are in range it’s good to move close while casting instant spells like corruption and CoD or life tap (better than charging)
    Good work on the guide!:)

    • @jamiekaspers5769
      @jamiekaspers5769 3 года назад +3

      1. Depends on how it will work on live
      2. No, mages should (post T7) otherwise it can be done by an affli getting a nightfall proc
      3. Soulfire has a 4 seconds casttime.. rank 1 SB is almost instant? its assuming u dont already HAVE decimation up
      4. Thats literally whats said

    • @jamiekaspers5769
      @jamiekaspers5769 2 года назад +3

      Ok to answer your first question, it seems clear this is the way it will work.
      You wait for all your spellpower items/cloaks/trinkets whatever to procc and send your pet in and hope to jesus it will crit, if it does. send it back AFTER 20 seconds for ~23seconds to keep the full duration of the super buffed demonic pact.
      If this will be worth it for the raid DPS is entirely up to your raids casters and their capability of making up for your loss of pet DPS.
      It's a super annoying mechanic and if you aren't in a top guild or dont wanna minmax support then dont do it. It's not fun, the only reason we even considered doing it was because pets did trash damage on private servers anyways. hopefully this wont be the case on classic.

  • @WoW-lm1xt
    @WoW-lm1xt 2 года назад +3

    Thank you for the guide. I'm quite confused about snapshotting demonic pact. It has a 45 second duration and 20 second CD if I understand correctly
    Let's say you get all potions/procs/trinkets active for a big snapshot on demonic pact, and then your pet crits 20 seconds later once everything has faded, doesn't the new unbuffed demonic pact overwrite the old buffed demonic pact?
    Are you going for a snapshot for the 20 seconds? or...
    Are you going to have the pet stop attacking from 20 seconds -> 45 seconds to keep the full duration of the big snapshot buff?

    • @jamiekaspers5769
      @jamiekaspers5769 2 года назад +3

      The way it's supposed to work in it will snapshot for 20 seconds, and then you indeed stop attacking with your pet.
      It's hard to know when this is worth it or not tho.
      however we'll have to wait and see how it works on live. it works different on every server so far so I'm not 100% sure

    • @jamiekaspers5769
      @jamiekaspers5769 2 года назад +1

      Tailoring is around 72SP on its own (by far the strongest SP prof) - JC at #2 with 60. I only pvp as affli and destro so dunno about the pvp part, but engineering is likely better than JC, atleast during phase 2. phase 1 just doesnt require a lot of movement so rocket boots are rarely used in my experience (except in speedruns) - Tailoring and Engi also nerf eachother because they both have spellpower enchants as a bonus but you only want to use tailoring.
      personaly im going Engi/Tailoring. but im in a speedrun guild. if I was not I would go JC/Tailor and then swap JC to Engi in Phase 2.

    What are thoughts on Nemesis talent?
    For Dungeons, If you really wanna min max, you Will get to use more metas,(given that the pulls line up well, and you're not holding of.. but yeah, dungeons isnt really what matters..
    For raids,
    The boss fight gotta be atleast 2:35 ish to be able to get 2 metas in a fight,
    And if its around 3:30-4:20, you would get 2 metas even without the talent.
    Until a few days we were all expecting the wrath we are used to, but it seems Blizzard are buffing naxx, which might make this talent more useful. Because without a naxx buff, pretty much all fights are sub 2 mins
