Help! I Suck At DPS
|

Hey, Im just wondering why im sucking so bad at DPS'ing in raids and dungeons
I used guides for glyphs, gems and rotations and i still get less than 7k DPS Im Level 85 now with decent gear and get max 3-6k dps Any advice?? |
|
Decent? Far from it, sorry for being so crude.
You have a healing trinket 318 trinket Ungemmed + Unenchanted gear 312 staff 318 bracers 333 shoulders 318 necklace 325 helmet 333 lefts You're missing a belt buckle Minding has no value to a warlock, swap tha profession out with another. I've found when i had really low gear on my lock, dps was low. Replace/fix all what i stated above, getting new pieces/enchanting etc. and you'll notice a dps increase. |
Decent? Far from it, sorry for being so crude. He was pulling 4k DPS inside Serpentshrine Cavern Now, to me that sounds like a hit chance problem |
|
Thanks alot man, but even so isnt 6k max dmg low for what i have at my level?? :S

Decent? Far from it, sorry for being so crude. Oak pretty much stated everything. Come back once you've farmed some gear and such and we'll gladly help you at perfecting your Warlock :) Could also be your rotation that causes such low DPS. Whats your rotation like? |
|
You have to press the buttons harder
|
|
Shadow Bolt, curse of the elemants, haunt, demon soul, bane of doom, corruption Unstable affliction, Doom guard, spam shadow bolt and refreash the dots when they are running out
and then use Drain soul when they are on 25% or less health Hope this is okay, this is what the guide said and my friend who is pretty good at a warlock |
|
|
I wish I could do that good sir, but I'm really not strong enough to lift myself. |
Who said anything about lifting? Silly gnome! |
|
|
Well this is how I do my rotation, and it all clips perfectly.
Curse of Elements>Haunt>Bane of Doom>corruption>unstable affliction>shadowbolt spam - refresh dots.. and use haunt when it's off CD. Drain soul on targets below 25% hp. ( Of cause, it's different when I use my CD's.. ) |
|
But see the first shadow bolt, that inscreases shadow dmg, which is useful for the DOT's, and demon soul inscreases shadow dmg for 20 seconds and the doom guard causes more dmg beause ur telling him to target a single target
So how , besides gear, why am i maxing out at 4/5k dps? :S |
|
Well thanks alot man :) going to do hour of twilight raids now xD lollol

Actually, that is very good advice; mashing keys harder and more frequently will put the spells into the spell queuing system more efficiently and counteracts the effects of latency. Surprising how few people realise this, and how much difference it actually makes. |
QFT. even 0.1 seconds delay between every spell is going to add up MASSIVELY towards the end of the fight. mash those buttons like you mean it! [A]lways [B]e [C]asting |

Everything you need to know |

sorry I really don't know what your doing to only get that low dps. I'm 82 and I get that dps easily , I think it could be rotation , hit as the guys say above and also missing enchants...all of which I'm missing as well cause I'm not going to bother enchanting leveling gear
get a rotation down and in dungeons make sure you time your AOE's ya should be fine |
