hi guys,

i am playing as a destro lock. Name unsoiled, realm Khadgar. my gear score is currently 474 but i cant do more than 1500 dps. I am using standard spell rotation that other destro locks use so was wondering if my latency is causing any problems. my current latency is anything between 500 and 600ms.

I have considered using Quartz but not sure if it will help...
any ideas?

tx..will get them...but u dont think it has anything to do with latency?
 
500-600ms latency will have a negligible impact on pve dps unless the fight requires high mobility, which can affect your time-on-target (ToT)

Gear, spec, rotation ... pve isn't difficult the tough part is ensuring that 24 other people don't mess up :)
 
I'm a Destruction warlock, and with blues and a few epics Im putting out 1.9k DPS easy with 1600 SP.

Just have a look at your rotation
 
Its not that easy to maintain high dps with a warlock against raid bosses. I think its one of the few classes where the player needs to find the right spec for their style.

google warlock den and bookmark that site. There is a lot of good info there covering all specs. Just remember that when someone tells "this spec is the best spec", then its best for their style and the gear that they have.

When gearing up for raiding, especially 25 man, your priority should be to get hit capped first. Against bosses you are fighting the equivelant of lvl 83, therefore you will get some misses. This can seriously gimp your dps, especially if you are destruction. Get your hit rating to at least 386. I think the cap is somewhere at 440 ??, but you should be getting some +hit buffs from talents and other classes in the raid.
 
I have considered using Quartz but not sure if it will help...

Yes, this is a great addon to see when your DoT's are about to end, but be carefull that you allow them to run their full course. Dont "clip", its a loss of dps.
 
He's playing a destro lock so dot timers are the least of his worries, rather use quartz because it has a latency indicater which allows you to start casting the next spell before the current one is complete taking latency into account.
