Alright, so before the end of WoD, I never really played Warlock. I very much enjoyed the class at the end of WoD, though, and decided to play some more in Legion. Despite a lot of people disliking a lot of the mechanical aspects, I didn't have much experience with the so-called "golden age" of locks, and therefore don't mind the current mechanics at all.
I do have some questions from a mechanical perspective and would like help getting better at playing my spec.
1.) Applying Havoc
I want to find a better system for applying Havoc. Previously I would use tab-Havoc-tab, but this was a bit unreliable, especially when I wanted to mass apply Immolate to every mob in a pack. I followed this by trying a mouseover macro with Havoc, but that too made targeting a nightmare. Lately I've used Enemy Grid, which works very well, but also has its shortcomings.
How do you typically apply Havoc? Do you have any effective system for it?
2.) Haste - any caps?
The next question is pretty simple. I'm at about 36% haste, and wondering if I'm starting to go overboard. On single target I still have issues with Soul Shard generation, but anything with two or three mobs gives me a satisfying number of shards to work with.
Are you aiming for any Haste cap?
3.) Rotation for 2, 3, 4, and 5 targets?
Alright, for 2-3 targets I generally follow this priority: get immolate up on everything, Conflag to get Backdraft, and Incinerate CB CB in Backdraft if possible.
For 4 and 5 targets it starts to get a little fuzzier what I should be doing. Does Rain of Fire become worth casting at this many? How about Chaos Bolt? At 5 targets with FnB it gets a bit difficult to figure out.
Any help is appreciated.
