Some notes/critiques. Spirit now = spell power so spirit should probably figure into the stat priority somewhere. Grimoire of synergy gives the same damage buff as shadow and flame after the Nerf... But Grimoire is still way better because it also increases your pet damage which SnF does not. Amp curse does not interact with curse of reck/shadow/ele and is wasted in your rota. But good info all around 👍
Would disagree that grimoire is better. because its only either you or your pet getting the 10% buff not both, and you're always going to out dps your pet. Not to mention smaller proc chance will = less buff uptime :)
Using average cast times and probability, Grimoire will have about 73% uptime on the player and about 53% uptime on the pet, yielding 7.3% player damage and 5.3% pet damage. Compare to SnF which with a dot spec that can crit, should be around 95-97% uptime, yielding 9.5-9.7% damage. 2.2-2.4% player damage is significantly more than 5.3% pet damage, so SnF will be superior overall.
description of apmplify curse: Increases the effect of your next Curse of Weakness or Curse of Agony by 50%, or your next Curse of Exhaustion by 20%. Lasts 30 sec.
Forgot Shadowflame in your rotation. Other than missing spirit in stat priority and the mixup with amp curse and curse of recklessness (doesn't benefit), not a bad guide.
I use FG over imp for a little variation on talents and runes. I feel like UA is unnecessary due to affliction already having a lot more buttons to press compared to destruction and having to keep up with another long cast time DoT interrupts Shadow Bolt fillers.

@@EvanJohnson-v2d He not talking about the Rune.... He is talking about Fel Armor. Fel Armor provides 50% of your spirit as SP now.

Shadow bolt is a filler because it's the lowest damage per cast time spell you use. UA is higher so it is good to cast instead of more shadow bolts.
Oh there is no rune for Shoulder gear?
well never did emerald wardens and now 60 cant get rune right?
You can. I believe Monday they are removing the rep requirement. You can just buy the rune from the warden vendor
Yo, you can just buy it now. No rep needed. You do have to go to same vendor tho
which is better for PVE aff or Destro?
Aff
so this is a Hybrid lock
