One global every 5 seconds = 20% of your uptime.
This isn't a coincidence if almost all of the top ranked players on Horridon use GoSac.
As an ex-Mage who switched to Warlock recently I agree 100% on the Combustion part, maybe not for your reasons though as I don't know them. I just got fed up how utterly RNG-dependent Fire is. With decent to good RNG luck the damage can be great but if your luck sucks, as mine does, you do everything right (yeah, PoM, AT, macro, just knowing how the damn stuff works, all that) suck.
Destro plays smoother than Fire, it deals with RNG better, and the AoE is .... well, it and just everything about the Lock just feels a hell of a lot better (and then there's KJC... *dream*).
Combustion especially was gutted to the point where I wish they'd just do away with it, replace it, re-work Fire from the ground up.
When it combined all your DoTs into a super-DoT it was a great concept, although maybe even too close to the Warlock. Now .. it does half the damage of your Ignite and is only worth it if you get several Pyroblast crits in a row (which *always* happens at the wrong time, after you gave up on getting a decent Ignite and used Combustion with a mediocre one so you don't spend a whole Combustion uptime waiting for a decent Ignite), how is that a convincing concept?
Concerning RoF, I kinda hope they "fix" it, it just doesn't feel good to me to use it on a single-target.
You just can't afford to have your pet on the direhorn. Maybe it would have been different if the GCD on curse of elements wasn't half that of a normal GCD. Having my imp tunnel the boss during my best ranked, 11:14 fight (incredibly long due to tanks dieing and kiting last 10%) resulted in 25,6 million damage vs my total damage of 120 million on Horridon, I'd call that pretty significant.

What % of haste would you say is too much for destruction, with RPPM trinkets?
The % where your backdrafted incinerate cast time is under 1 second with no other haste buffs up. (I don't know what % that is, but that's where crit will be better than haste for pure-single target)
A better answer is the amount of haste where you as a player begin to not be able to react fast enough to changes in the rotation due to it being too fast paced. That could be with 1 sec incinerates, or that could be with very little haste at all. If you can't take advantage of that haste, then it's going to waste.

I'm finding it to be ~30-31% haste raid buffed. I usually sit 29-30 then crit for the rest. Crazy single target numbers, adequate cleave.
Trinket question: as I said, nearly GCD capped with my normal haste and I have the meta gem. SPA trinket, LFR Wush, LFR Cha-ye... which 2?
Finally picked up a second RPPM trinket in a TF wushoolays, so glad to be able to get rid of the VP one. Before it was annoying to have any more than 6k haste, now I've cranked it up to the Demo 8097 breakpoint with 7k mastery for both specs. Such a quality of life improvement ditching the VP trinket.
I will also miss RoF if it becomes irrelevant in our rotation. I don't love the reticule either but I can live with it since at least it is no longer channeled. Speaking only of playstyle, as a lock I like having something that works as a DoT, I love the extra embers, and I don't have mana problems. I don't understand why people don't like it since it is all gain and no loss to have it.
So intellect proc isn't as awsome as destro as a intellect proc? That does not change the fact that overall the valor trinket is still superior then any 502 LFR trinket, 20 ilevels is a huge difference and unless the proc is exceptionally good (like the Lei Shin trinket for some classes) you will want to use the higher ilevel.
In general even if the status aren't optimal you will generally want the higher ilevel item unless the old item is exceptional good or/and the new item is exceptional bad (which has happened in the past for some classes).
Brusalk,
I saw your UI today while watching some of your heroic videos.
I was wondering if it would be possible to get a copy of your UI? I'd like to edit ti to my own preferences but I like the initial setup. I just feel like it would be easier than asking you 50 Question as to what addon you used here and there and how to edit it.
Thanks!
on fights like horridon and primordius where you will just be spamming chaosbolt, do 2 mastery > 1 int?
