A 100% crit Doom plus a couple ToCs makes me think it will at the very least be competitive for Demo ... top 3 at the worst. This is without doing any math, of course.
With this trinket, something to watch the proc, and good reaction speed / timing, you could in theory maintain 100% crit on Doom through an entire encounter. That's huge.
I am the one who knocks ... because I need your permission to enter.
Wild imps, Wild Imps everywhere...
now joke's aside Iam no so sure about it, the RNG of ppm can fuck one over and you get a proc just after a DS ended and having to decided if redo doom is worth it(might be)
On the other hand procing it at the start with DS will be just "fabulous"
Real PPM is a misnomer. You aren't guaranteed any number of procs per minute or per fight for that matter. The only difference from a completely random roll is that the time between each attack/spell/tick modifies the probability of it proccing (the old PPM system only modified this based on weapon speed), so that the number of procs on average is fair for specs that do big, slow attacks compared to specs that do many small attacks.

Regarding doom, the tricky thing is that you already get to have a strongly buffed doom by casting it while DS is active. The 100% crit one is probaby even stronger, but still as you are most likely not to have the opportunity to combine both, the gap from the current situation will be substantially smaller than il would seem.

That trinket is causing major pain to the DEVS, and considerig they are already trying to nerf it for shadow priest (goddamn it was a nice chance to dust off my former main) maybe it will get changed.
LOl,4s 100% crit is so nice for us?Dont forget it will be nerfed if it is op for us.
Just care about 5.2 lock's pvp,as I think we don not have a reason to get into arean!
[PTR donnot have 30% decrease health recovery,so it will make less effcet for us to see our pvp situations!]

I can think of an easy way to test it. Cast your DoTs, channel MG, swap your weapon for a grey vendor trash one, channel MG on the same DoTs. Compare the damage from the MG generated DoT ticks before and after you removed the weapon. If the damage is the same, it's running off the DoT stat snapshot. If the damage is lower, MG does a new snapshot separate from the DoTs themselves.
However, I don't have an Afflic spec to test this with right now. Can anyone save me the trouble of a respec and give it a try? It might be kind of important to know this now.
Can smb post DPS tests on dummys here?
Want to see difference.
New warlock tier reminds me of Mass Effect for some reason.
Guess it's PvP gear, nvm.

Your comments are duly noted and ignored.
I punch a hobo every time someone says 'it's not a rotation it's a priority list lol'.
Apparently another ptr build is up with no warlock changes. I had been hoping for the big balance ptr build to come out today but I guess I shall have to wait a little longer.
arcane got totally raped in ptr and will be a dead spec again, so expect some kinda of adjust on afly also.
WTB a small buff for demo, and a big buff for destro ( Accompanied with Havoc being reworked to be less gimicky, I prefered the cataclysm model of Havoc TBH)
It's really weird no changes have been made to Affliction besides the GoSac nerf (not counting SoC since it was used in a gimmicky way in T14). Maybe they are waiting to see the results in the raid first? With the testing I've done on PTR it seems like Affli is still crushing everything and the spec will dominate this tier as well.
What will happen (if anything) is probably Blizzard realizing everyone will keep running GoSac and that the damage is still insane (mostly because the ridiculous gearscaling advantage), so they will nerf it even more. I'd be fine with that I guess.
Do you honestly feel that Demo and Destro can't compete with other classes? I don't get why you would want buffs for the specs when you could just ask for the very top specs to get nerfed. There's a lot of other specs waiting to catch up with Destro and Demo...
