    trinket question

    with the buff to the variable lightning capacitor, is it worth getting for affliction?

    I'm fairly sure it is currently bis for affliction and destruction since the buff. ( or at least the hc version is)
    EDIT: Took a quick look and it seems that rune of zeth + LC (hc) is currently the way to go.

    Positive Necromatic focus/heoic and Volcano is BiS for affliction.

    Nope, and that wasn't even true before the buff to VPLC. BiS was RoZ + DMC:V but is now VPLC (heroic or normal) + RoZ.

    Though my personal sims are still showing DMC > RoZ

    Well, I'm hesitating between those 2 : RoZ or DMC:V ~~ I'd prefer DMC:V since it's not a trinket "on use".

    I've been using RoZ/DMC:V, even passed up VPLC a few weeks back. It just seems hard to think that VPLC would be better than 1600 intel on proc from DMC:V. I need to run sims!!

    Made time to run sims and it seems for my gear VPLC would be a ~200dps loss over DMC:V.

    So, has it been concluded which of these are currently best for Affliction?

    I got DMC, LC and RoZ... Can't decide.

    According to the Warlock Sim thread at EJ, the VPLC + RZ is the best trinket combination for both Affliction and Destruction since the 260% buff to VPLC. I believe it works that way as long as you time your RZ cooldowns with Demonsoul.

    I can't post the direct link yet, but it's on page 27 of the thread.

    Are you simming it with updated values?

    I used Chardev.org to replace the DMC with the LC, I didn't even notice if the stats were updated.

    Why is RoZ better than DMC really? I don't get it. It seems way worse by the description... I'm missing something :<

    The fact that it's CD lines up with Doom i think....?

    When I sim myself, DMC:V and Hbell are still king, beating any normal FL trinket (not tried new LC or hc trinkets)
