2-how do you use succubus in pvp?

[aezakmei]

@mrvolgrim thats what I'm wondering too, how does his imp dont run out of mana?

[mrvolgrim]

@aezakmei

well since he didn't answer i just wend demonology your pet never run out of mana and i do more critical than destruction especially when boss is under 35% heal then i can use sole fire with out soul shards and i do about 17k damage and i have a very crappy gear set!

[mrvolgrim]

why the hell is your talent tree in wow head wrong?

[rukiazzz]

[nickstanovic]

Hi I just started a Warlock and I'm wondering which add-ons you are using? They look really helpful.

[TheRushing555guy]

What do you do so you can see how many seconds there is left on your spells ?

[Lushba]

Devin <3

[TheRushing555guy]

What is hit cap ? i mean 550?

[TheRushing555guy]

Cant you make on Power auras so you can jsut import the set plz?

[Bu5h1d0o0]

Dude, love your video,it's really helpful.Can you tell me name of the addon if it's not a problem?

[NomNomCookies000]

<3 the accent! =P

[Win94ify]

I have a kind of problem that my imp always runs out of mana...

Any ides what can I do?

[Hejzwej]

SF is really needed for deathbringer.

[Optec]

@Hejzwej SF is very useful in quite a few fights now. I take it in my build it's fun to use on trash as well :p. In bosses Sarufang it's invaluable stun adds as soon as they move from spawn point, LK when in Frostmourne use it to stun the add when it's channelling, Dreamwalker adds can be stunned in place this interrupts casts and on Deathwhisper it can help a little :).

[monkeywithplutonium]

Stupid question.... grant it, its been over a year since I played the game last, back then I could not spam incenerate with out pulling massive aggro. Whats changed?

[dragon72287]

still the best lock videos i have seen u are the reason i made my warlock ty man great job keep it up

[brutalboy92]

dude whats the name of the song you are using in this vid?

[Hanoua2]

i have try this build and im never the second one in dps im always the number one and far far far aways :)

[butcherfest]

thanks very well explained video :)

[butcherfest]

how do you add that Imp macro on incinerate? is it one line ?

[okica87]

thx 4 such nice guidance help me a lot . i m new wow player and lost more time not knowing and makeing more mistakes if i only see ur vidoes earlyer . Thanks again wander if u have similar for some other classes?

[rclaypool]

so as a 70 Destro Lock should I take Glyph of Chaos Bolt or Conflagrate?....seems like conflagrate is a no brainer, but the 2 sec cast decrease also seems viable..cheers...

[Steven1781]

Whats that addons your using that tells you when to tap the spells?

[leetforks]

I recently Changed glyph of life tap with immolate and it boosted my dps up by 1k so unless ur stacking spirit getting life tap glyph is neccessary

[eLdALA9]

Really nice video, thanks alot of doing it!

[rigel559]

allso. Soul fire wont increase your dps as destro :) Chaos bolt hits moar!

[rigel559]

For more optimal dps you should time conflagrate so that you don't have to cast eighter immolate nor chaos bolt during the "backdraft" duration. As they both have a lower cast time and therefore benefit less from the 30% haste. Also, keeping corruption up on the target will increase your total damage output :)

[Optec]

@rigel559 Corruption will only increase your dps if you are moving alot. Conflag should always be cast as soon as possible even if immolate has 0.1secs left as the damage buff it provides outweights the loss of a quick incinerate. Learn your immolate duration during backdraft and try to avoid clipping. I thought what you think now but I can't argue with lots of testing in raids :p.

[phant00m1]

@Optec I was just confused, cause you said in an other video, that we should time the conf and CB, so refresh the immo,than cb and conf,for gaining the benefit of the backdraft. So should we forget that and using the CD-s ASAP?

[HolyShadow180]

I think I am about level 78 - 79 can't remember but my dam game time has ended can't wait till I get back online!

Just want to know one think why choose a Female char if your a dude? No probs but I just don't understand why =D

Well cool vid anyway!

[Optec]

@HolyShadow180 Well when I was picking my character having played other MMO's in the past I knew that I would be staring at this thing for many years to come. The idea of a musle bound hulk being what I looked at for hours at a time didn't appeal. I liked the idea of a cute looking female character that could summon demons and wield shadow and fire magics.

[HolyShadow180]

@Optec Well I guess so, I just never wanted a char from the other sex for one of my Toons dunno, well as long as you are enjoying it! ^_^

Again awsome vid!

[busterboxer86]

@HolyShadow180 and plus when people think your a girl they are more likely to be nice to ya lol

[r4gEd]

@HolyShadow180

The reason he picked female is because no one wants to play as a boring male human.

[alexsi13th]

@HolyShadow180 If you're going to stare at an ass all day it might as well be a hot one!

[HolyShadow180]

@alexsi13th haha thats a good reason

[kpsnnf]

@HolyShadow180 female chars are more appealing to look at >_> most male counterparts of each race are ugly :P

[vapen76]

@HolyShadow180 there is one simple easy answer :P i prob like girls more then boy's... If you find that wierd then your wierd.

[HolyShadow180]

@vapen76 It not weird either way

[Reverzi]

@vapen76 It isn't working like that exactly...like for me i like to make my character similar to myself and thats why i pick male ;)

[xXGNOMEKINGXx]

Soul link will kill your imp and yo really dont want that :L

[Optec]

@xXGNOMEKINGXx I don't use it anymore :p I'm 0/13/58 it's the way forward.

[AzzaAgai]

nicely made guides, thanks a lot!

[MrGregorzz]

I noticed u dont have life tap glyph anymore, why ?

[Optec]

@MrGregorzz when your spirit drops too low (as it will do with most ICC 25 gear) immolate glyph will improve your dps and make your life easier (also increasing dps) now immolate ticks can crit it's even better. Give it a try.

[ZakR666]

MY IMPS CALLED JUBNIP TOO!

[spree2009]

been having some troubles setting up CoE or CoD in my power aura >_<

[mathquiz1]

hey wat addons do u use

[MrHippieTippie]

Nice dps. And this is only with self buffed. In last weeks i've keen on my warlock and now i am gearing that. I chose destruction build cos it offers best dps and i like it more than afflication or demo.

[deytia]

That Trinket u got, the one who stack's up SP, can't remember the name drops from rotface 25 man, isn't that a reason for why u can hit ur dps so high?

I got a trinket, gives me 128 haste rating, i mean, if it gave me 155 and stacked SP, i couldn't imagine what it would raise my dps with.

Atm i make 6.4 k - around there.

[zeroxz86]

very helpful thanks

[highwaysinwow]

Hmmm, i got alot haste, so when Heroism are casted i use Soul Fire, cause it got around 1 sec cast time ;P and keep Chaos Bolt + Conflag + Immo up ofc, what do u think about that? thanks, nice vid. :)

[fattonydude]

Does Immolate do more DPS if you cast it after CoE? i usually cast immolate first then CoE because then i don't have to wait that little bit of time before i can cast conflagerate, is this wrong? also i was wondering should i a corruption up to do more DPS or just ignore it and focus on the main rotation???

[Melbshuffler94]

what addon is the one on the left where all ur other spells are in? like banish , port etc etc, nice vid :-)

[Optec]

@Melbshuffler94 It's called Necrosis you can find a guide to my UI on my YouTube profile.

[StefaN3713]

Hey nice dps! :) But i have one question,it's a little stupid,but what are ur addons?

[Optec]

@StefaN3713 Click on my name to goto my channel there is a guide to my ui on there.

[StefaN3713]

Hey nice dps! :) but i need one question,it's a little stupid but...can u tell me ur addons? :)

[gergoke01]

In a normal raid i use this "rotation":

(First) Coe+corruption, Immolate, Confraglate, CB, Incericenate (more), Confraglate, Immolate+Corruption, CB, Incericenate etc.

When I become more buffs from gear and talent, I use Soulfire too.

[73HNiNJ4]

wow the destro rotation is alot like elemental shaman rotation

[TheLostGammer]

GJ ;D!

[Johnnyrayne11]

Hey bro, you may have answered this already or you may have not. But what is the addon that is the purplish half circle that keeps counting down? Thank you.

[Bargisen1989]

Well i gotta say, i helped my cousin bout this topic, and used your Guide..

His dps increased from 3.4k till 4.8k (From Affliction till Destruction) !

[henkzawd]

@greatillusionist

Why would you not put CB after conflag, in case of Pyroclasm? Makes no sense, CB does substantially higher damage than incinerate, therefore pyroclasm would benefit CB more.

[MysteStorm]

Why not use Corruption in the rotation as well?

[dankata995]

in what server are you playing

[xRaBBiTx22]

@dankata995 Trollbane EU

[paintpitproduction]

As a destro lock what spells should I use on group pulls in heroics?

[kredenax]

Very good video, helped me :)

[angelodudeman]

help me i have 5k gs and i am using the same rotation but i only do half of what your doing what should i do i do 3.3dps selfbuffed

[hopkinz84]

great vid man, im a new destro lock so this helps a shitload XD. whats the addon you use in the left side of the screen to manage all your un-used spells?

[bentley33333]

i do 5.9k dps at 5092 dps, i use the same rotation as you, only slightly different, i dont use CoA as it seems a pointless waste of time to use it

also i use chaos bolt before conflagrate as there is a slight delay between when immolate is used and conflag is ready so chaos makes a good use of the time wating

[bentley33333]

@bentley33333 i ment to say 5092gs= P

[Jakieg11]

do you have an affliction video like this 1, thanx

[henkzawd]

Quick question. Do you know if leaving out corruption provides greater dps? Personally I've always rolled with corruption in my set of spells and usually beat any other destruction guildmate or warlock in general.

What are your thoughts?

[nomadfor]

hes a man but his toon is a girl?!?!?!

[DustinsReality]

@nomadfor

What you never played a girl in Tomb Raider?

[bentley33333]

@nomadfor 99.99% of female chars ingame are males

[TygriusDetheroc]

Both of your Destro Specs are not correct for Max DPS.

[Optec]

@TygriusDetheroc Read the comment's and look at my current spec this was made a while ago.

[Bromose1]

@TygriusDetheroc can you link the talent build with max dps?

[RRReviews]

@TygriusDetheroc maximizing dps is for tools.... a good raider specs according to raid support, not personal flaunting

[batatanua]

awsome video mate. im also a warlock and i have lots of trouble to make a good dps, probably its the stones and enchants i use.

can u tell me wich interface u used on this video? i really like it. looks confortable

[Fergulix]

This is what I really hate about wow nowdays, that you have to really put all your mind into doing maximum damage and so build a rotation of things you cast. It kills the wow expierience for the players with a more casual approach to the game. Why you ask? Why cant you just dont do this? Well the answer is easy, no group of random people nowdays let you join them if you play casual style with random dps.

So thank you wow players for fucking up a nice game! And go to hell :D

[Optec]

@Fergulix Wow has to cater for everyone including the 'hardcore'. I personally find mastering (or attempting to master) dps is what keeps me playing. Having to concentrate on not just what im doing but what everyone else and the boss is doing is challenging and fun. If anyone could dps by just spamming whatever they feel like then content wouldn't be challenging to those that do want to optimise.

There is plenty of content for casuals in the game and even older raids that are still fun now :)

[FISHGOMOO4321]

@Fergulix Fuck off you shit cunt. If you can't manage a simple rotation then you are utterly retarded.

[5648945621]

@Fergulix if you could just spam random buttons and do max dps i would have quit the game long ago. if you want a simple rotation then go play arcane mage. it shouldnt take more then 15 min to figure out your rotation for max dps. so if youre too stupid to do that, then fuck off. people like you are the reason blizz keeps making the game easier

[Kebabaful]

thanks alot :D 10/10

[rudolph502]

whats the name of the addon which tells you when to cast next. (That little bar below your character)

[Gearhead142]

in this patch, what spec do u think would be best for dps? because a lot of my guild mates say aff, but when i try i suck at it.

[kradblade]

You don't need the macro if you're casting CoE in the begining of your rotation I believe.

[Blacklabel9001]

What was the cast bar addon he aws using?

[bothamliam]

@Blacklabel9001 quartz

[WolfMilf93]

do gem according to socket colour??

[MKiller5]

@WolfMilf93 He already answered that.

[BAKERforLIFE543]

whats the song name

[RRReviews]

lawl your Demo spec does more dps xD good vid btw

[callyblaze]

Very nice vid m8 seriously ive been watching tons of warlocks vids but none of them were as good compared to your Destro and demo lock guid thnx m8 keep up the good work

[frillan1337]

can u do an pvp guide spec for warlock ? :)

[WFPScapeGoat]

@frillan1337

I'm pretty sure Optec is only playing PvE..

Either that - or he cant spec for pvp..:p

[PrinceGerman]

cool thx

[exmomas421]

could you send me the addons ur using? :D

[karlsson385]

this was a big help for me, im now doing 1,2k dps more then i did be4, thanks a lot m8 and keep it up!

[EeekCam]

I will probably go Destruction when I'm fully sanctified assuming destruction will then put out more dps then the other specs.

[mhartley2008]

Nice video! What are your thoughts on the spell stone vs the fire stone.

[BreeFuuckingBree]

whats the best pve spec for warlock because everyone keep telling me demo or afflic are best but im doing more dps in destro?

[scuddzilla]

Could you upload your UI somewhere by any chance its great everything is set out nicely and looks clean.

[coldeyes1]

Very nice , Can you get me or Interface?

[Matttzzz]

Why don't you use corruption? It's a only a globan cd loss in time and it hurts quite much.

[twilightspell]

yes he should use corruption. I usually cast it right after conflag if pyroclasm procs or after backdraft@Matttzzz

[FoxDieMercury]

@twilightspell Actually he shouldnt be using corruption as a destruction lock.

[kpc174]

@twilightspell No, not as Destruction because of the global CD that you have to wait after casting it to cast another spell, and this reduces your DPS. so DONT use corruption as a destruction lock

[kaptenkukful]

@kpc174 ur right, but sadly.Destro is a burst specc and if you get etc 14k in a burst but what about the dmg? you can't burst an entire fight.. so id say, add corr and there is a huge global coldown when you use conflag. i do (curse,immo,corr,and then conflag,chaos and ins spam) im on steady 13k dps in 10man,tho depends on boss;P

[VIZZANITYisS1K]

@ calmdowmbrololz

I'm not sure if your trying to insult my intelligence but the reason I put my armory info in the comment was so he could go to the armory and look me up. Just like Optec was doing when he was replying to my comments I was writing from my iphone and couldnt post a link to the armory at the time. Unless ur just that retarded I'm gunna go ahead and label you a troll.

[gr3n3rdtube]

what addon are you help with lag casting on your cast bar?

[frostweave1]

pls email me i need alot of help with my warlock i am the lock CC in my guild but i see my dps go up everytime i research. jay_j1992@hotmail.com

[Lemontard1]

How do you get power aura to show a timer for durations aswel ? ^^

[KontoError]

About the Soul Leech Spec. I've seen alot of people use Glyph of Immolate with that spec. But i doubt that i have enough SP. Is there any SP Cap for it?

[FQRS]

what add on are you using for your bars?



[Endah93]

if you go CB then Conflag, the Conflag hits first and the CB gets the bonus :)

[seamustraynor]

this has been a great help thank you i am going to do more dps now with confidence : )

[Josef1400]

pve boring pvp better in pve ur just shooting free on a target in pvp ur trying to kill people thats trying to kill u and its fun to get higher raiting in arena in pvp u need skills in pve all u do is shoot

[Imunotu]

Do you use corruption in ur Rotation too?

[Imunotu]

As A Destro lock should i get a staff or 1h and a off hand.. or which ever one is an upgrade?

[eliastaco25]

Which addon is the purple thingy that surrounds you, is that a counter? please the name of that addon to investigate its function

[mrandmrspoop]

do you have the 10t set bonus?

[xXShadowsRAWRXx]

hey can u tell me what ur addons are? i love how they are all set up.

and as for enchants? should i go with SP or Black magic?

[Koroar]

Great video thanks a lot

[darkphazonsumas]

my question is that..., why is this so painful, destro seems better, but demon is more famous. and just one more interesting thing... you rolled a girl,

I that just proved the people who say only guys play this game, no completely but just by watching this I know that you can't really know someone's true gender.

[triplevvv]

i have a question Optec can u look at my gear lostdead us realm forgotten coast and tell me what gems i have wrong

[JacobAndCompany]

/clap

[lilledreng]

You truly know how to play this specc. Also saw your demon specc guide, and played it like you said in your guide. Very good job mate.

[gannacto]

nice vid mate really clear and good talk through

[fredysna]

656K Oo!!!

[tasug1]

hmm..based from what i have been research, all red gem must put with +23 sp, yellow with 12 sp+12 haste, blue with 12 sp+12 spirit. If the socket bonus lower than +5 sp, just put +23 sp. Remember spell power is always 1st priority. 2nd priority for me is haste and then critical the last. My destro warlock currently got 5.8k GS, 3300 sp with fel armor, 761 haste with spell stone, and 30.51% crit, hit rating 273. On the ICC raid 10 man i can pull 8 K dps easy.

[Frozendoom666]

thx 4 help :)

[Brainiz619Enigma]

oh yeah,forget to ask one more thing,all destros i have seen have +12sp and +12haste socket,i use +23sp or +12sp and +12 crit,am i doing wrong?
