Working on a fun little graphic

[Dethh]

Pretty original I have to say. Thumbs up from me. Certain tweaks and such , also one for each spec, but yeah keep doing what your doing very cool indeed.

The guide is designed for level 85, so anyone that is referencing current content, 1406 Haste, or anything else at level 80 probably shouldn't. As for the pic itself, it's got some nice ideas, but could use a tiny bit of cleanup.

• A level 85 spec should definitely lose a point of Demonic Embrace in favor of 3/3 Dark Arts. Optionally, you could pull the single point in Aftermath and put it there. Given how hard combat ratings are being hit, the Imp will most certainly need the help.
• Pulling the point in Aftermath and putting it into Shadowburn would also be better in my opinion, for myriad reasons.
• Simply re-organizing the spell list to more accurately reflect Destro's priority system would be an easy way to kill two birds with one stone.
• Inferno should definitely be mentioned as a sick AoE tool (impact hit + stun, plus fire aura from the demon), in both questing and instancing / raiding.

Overall, it's a great quick 'n' easy guide to reference for newer Destro Locks, and a few minor alterations can make it even better.

Clarifying a few concerns.

This is not for live, it would be silly to plan for live at this point.
Stat priories are according to elitist jerks current simcraft profile for 85 destro, 1406 soft haste cap with 40%ish percent haste will not be reachable in the first tier of content i'm pretty sure, currently the haste values for extra immolate ticks at 80 are "157, 781, 1406, 2030". I'm not sure on the percentages, but at 80, at cap those should probably be aimed at, considering the values will be different, there will be different points to aim for.
Spec is not for ideal dps, i was aiming for something more for a beginner 85, maybe an alt, focused a little more on survivability and ease rather than min/maxing.
Font needs to be improved.
And if anyone wants to borrow my idea, go for it, infact a good idea would be for an advanced guide on gemming, stat ideals, other specs, and recommended enchanting at 85 (I could use that myself).

As always, please see http://elitistjerks.com/f80/t48311-s...mbers_80_85_a/ for the latest simcraft (guys who run the numbers are amazing, and the warlocks are the best I've seen on the site.)
Also, if anyone wants to revise the sheet, I'd be happy to send the illustrator file (cs4).

If it was more geared towards beginner locks then maybe re-order it to be haste -> crit -> mastery, might be the way to go since they will most likely have lower stats. Also the EJ numbers are for BiS Tier 11 so the values might be a little off. Just somethings to think about. Love the picture still tho!

Not bad, it's a neat little thing that sums up destro quite nicely. The only thing I would change is your spell priority system, you've got quite a few abilities at the bottom that should be top priority when they aren't on the boss (CoE) or off CD (DG, DS). Also Incinerate is our "filler" as it has the lowest damage per cast time, save for FF, so any soul burned SF should be above it, because if it's a lower priority than incin there's no point in casting it, except when on the move. I would pick this line up for spell priority:

CoE (if not brought by another class)
DS (When off CD)
DG (When off CD)
Immolate
Conflag
BoD
Corruption
Chaos Bolt
SB + SF (When SB off CD)
Incinerate
Fel Flame (only when moving)

Also, I would definitely throw in 1 hard cast soul fire to refresh the 15% haste buff into the mix now that the 80% health threshold has been removed. I'm just not just where it should go priority wise. I would almost say that keep up the haste buff is more important than keeping up immolate because we want immolate to always be hasted, so if not before immo, definitely right below conflag.

New Version Up

You missed Shadowburn. Invalueble for addfights to get your shards back during combat.

Updated it, took the simcraft spec, didn't love it, mixed it up similar to how I spec on live.

[Overwelm]

I haven't done my own simcraft for live and im not on the ptr / beta, all im going on is elitist jerks at the moment. I'm sure as the expansion is released it will become quite clear the stat prio's. Im hardly raiding at the moment so not too bothered.

Also I'm not sure about the spec :s Wouldnt you drop 1 point in Stam for the increaed pet damage. And is mana feed better than improved armors?

The point in conflag slow should be moved to shadowburn, shadowburn is so pro on live to refresh soulshards during combat.

Must say im only going on live so i might be wrong

Anyway, the guide is nice and simple. Maybe mention rotation?

Shadowburn needs to kill the target within 5 seconds to refresh your shards does it not? Can still see the point being moved, especially as it will help on trash but on bosses unless the damage is buffed to be worthwhile it prolly won't do much.
