…apparently
My Inner
Demon and I seem to be in love.
[ID] Hydra <3
[Me] I am suppose to kill you now.
[ID] But we get along so well. You embrace your inner
demon. You are a warlock to the core.
[me] *Shadow Bolt*
[ID] *resist* I am you. No one told you that I resist
Shadow and Fire?
[Me] *Corruption* I was not suppose to meet you for
another few days!!
[ID] *hugs and kisses* But I couldn’t wait to meet you. Ha
Ha Ha
…
[Me Vent] Kill Hydra. *hangs head*
At this point I was casting Shadow Bolt and Rain of Fire
on some very familiar names.
It is completely embarrassing to be a dps class who cannot
get the dps done. With no problems with Hydross or Lurker. The last hour or
so we take a look at Leo. We have gone twice like this and twice as full raid
time to “Lets try and take Leo down.”
I really should not count that first night because two of
my three SB were resisted. We went so watching the videos means more.
The only problem is that the Warlocks and Shadow Priest
are having trouble with their Inner Demons. The protection warriors have their
problems but with some gear switching whey are good to go.
I have about 30 seconds to put out 11-12K in damage. Yeppers.
That is just 400 dps needed.
Our Raid Leader took us all out to the Barrier Hills to practice
on some Ogres. With a damage meter, one by one we took down our practice
“demon”. We now know all 25 raid members can do it.
I get my demon down to the last 5-15% and then we become
one. It feels like I have only killed my ID 1 in 5 times. I have very little
burst damage. Each time seems to be a learning experience. I know I will get it…
I have the dps for it … but still. *embarrassed*
What I have learned.
1)
Use Imp
to help Fire Bolt your ID.
2)
Stay in melee range so ID doesn’t SB you back.
3)
You are going to get whacked a lot from the ID. Resulting
in spell push back.
4)
Shadow Bolts take too long to cast. Particularly
with spell pushback and potential to out right resist.
5)
Imp and yourself should have half mana at start
of demon phase and watch that it doesn’t go low incase your inner demon wants
to say “Hi”. Healers need to know that you are going to be life tapping periodically.
6)
Only use your fastest highest dps spells.
7)
Use Searing
Pain as your Destruction spam. You are the only one with threat on your ID
anyway so use it.
8)
Shadowburn
if you have it. You can get two casts in this fight. Use them.
9)
Immolate
does initial damage that can crit and has a DoT.
10)
Use Death
Coil before first Immolate. (ID is fearable.)
11)
Don’t use Fear. The cast time is too long and no
damage is done. Yes, 1.5 seconds is too long, you also have to add the push
back time since the mob is hitting you. There is more chance the ID may get out of
range of your Searing Pain, wasting that time too.
12)
Use instant Howl of Terror if you have it.
13) Make sure you have your ID targeted.
This fight made me very aware of the global cooldown
that Megan
talks about.
My ideal would be…
Howl or
Terror > Imp Attack > Shadowburn (GCD) > Curse of Agony (GCD)
> Corruption (GCD) > Immolate (2 sec) > Searing
Pain (1.5 sec) > Death Coil (GCD) > Shadowburn (GCD) > Searing Pain (1.5 sec) > Searing Pain (1.5 sec) *till dot needs to be reapplied*
There is … spell pushback … targeting issues … out of
range issues. Everything making this a little more complicated then it sounds.
We have gotten Leo to 2% which is a faboo attempt.
We will get him down.
First, I need to figure out how NOT to have regular bonding
experiences with my inner demon.
