Hi there warlock community!
I'm running GoSup (crit=haste) om my destro lock alt (ilvl 499), and I've followed what guides have said regarding what pet to use pretty much without testing it alot myself.
Observer when he has a high uptime in melee, otherwise Fel Imp.
Though recently a friend of mine said that Fel Imp did insane dps on dummy compared to Observer, I was a bit shocked but said I'd give it a shot.
So I did, got my Demon Training glyph on, CoEd the raiding dummy and watched my pet do his thing, while I did nothing.
Observer ended up at a stable 8-9k dps, and Fel Imp just totally stomped him and was at a stable 21-22k dps. His (tripple) Fel Bolts were hitting for a total of 90k+, non crit. And imo the Fel Imp has FAR better utility aswell.
My question is then, why is Observer the pet that simulates higher dps? Does he scale better with int? Does his dmg scale with the amount of dots like before? Is there something im missing here?
I know my 10 (ish) minutes of testing is far from enough, but I've never been a good theorycrafter
Thanks!
