Zerfall - A Warlock CC

If the player is destruction (which i am), incinerate is ALWAYS used as a filler instead of shadow bolt (cause of the 25% dmg increase). What i suggest is that for destruction players only, incinerate completely replaces shadow bolt on the cast sequence. Or even just an option to do this would be great aswell. To be honest this change is the only thing stopping me from using this cc right now, but if its done then i think i might just have found my perfect cc.

 

Fair enough. Regardless of if I thought this was crazy or not I think that having the option makes sense. Just like having the Drain Life option for Affliction.

 

CodenameG thank you for all you do, truly freaking awesome CC this and amplify are both just amazing. I use with Lazyraider and works well. No real complaints from me just wanted to show my man love.

Does anyone play a raiding afflic lock? I raid and instance w/ lazy plugin but manually aoe when called for. It seems everyone else can blow stuff out of the water but my dps looks bad but when we hit boss time the tables are turned with this CC. I spam Seed of Corruption as Afflic btw

 

That's just something with a dotlock when the fights are short. But get on a long fight or an AE fight and our DPS shoots up. The main issue with short fights is that we don't have any really good pure burst damage tools like many other specs/classes. We have some of the most consistent damage around in many cases, tho.

I can't wait for this bot to have not only SoC support but Soulburn'd SoC. That'll really crank our DPS up.

 

SoC?

 

Seed of Corruption. Affliction AE Spell. With the right Talent if you Soulburn and then cast it when it explodes you end up with Corruption cast on every mob the AE hits.

Worth it to chain cast even without the Talent. With the Talent it means that you're doing damage to everything that got hit by that SoC (which means you're getting healed some, etc, etc).

 

Okay... I did some fiddling and came up with something that seems to work. There's no option support for it in the settings as that's beyond my meager code hacking. But place this anywhere in the Affliction.cs file where you want to cast SoC. I personally put it right after the Drain Life code at the top of the PVE and Instance chunks.

It will use Soulburn every time it can when casting (assuming cooldown, etc) as I don't know how to code for checking if you have the "Soulburn: Seed of Corruption" talent. So be warned that it will "waste" your Soulburn if you don't have that talent.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

CnG, I tore this from your emergency Drain Life code with some stuff from your RoF code over in the Destruction side. Hope you don't mind. It should be a good start for your own coding for SoC support.

Code:

                new Decorator(ret => Me.GotTarget && Me.CurrentTarget.Distance < 33 && getAdds2().Count >= ZerfallSettings.Instance.Adds,
                    new PrioritySelector(
                         CreateSpellCheckAndCast("Soulburn", ret => !SpellManager.Spells["Soulburn"].Cooldown),
                         CreateSpellCheckAndCast("Seed of Corruption")
                        )),

 

i really wasnt payin attention just stopped attacking figure ill upload the log for ya .. this on latest test build ill watch for replies if u have a questions

 

does this still work, if not which should i use?

 

CnG stopped development on it afaik - thread was locked until today, so not sure

 

I'm really hoping that this CC will support PvP in the near future! As I posted in a recent thread if you need any kind of help regarding Warlock PvP logic feel free to ask!

 

Thanks CodenameG

I use this For Heroics and raiding and find it great + rep.

How are others using SS Resurrection as a battle ress without stopping the bot?

 

Ive also noticed another problem with destruction... It only casts soul fire when improved imp procs, instead of whenever the improved soul fire buff is down. I don't know if this CC is still being updated or not, but if it isn't can someone please fix and post this for me, as i have no experience in custom classes and such

 

this is an awesome cc, used it all the way from 1-85 (as demo) but I would like to see more use of Axe Toss and Felstorm with the felguard. (this could've saved the life of my warlock a few times )
other than this - awesome cc! thanks alot! recomending it to others

 

I have one question... Would it be or is it somehow possible to manually control casting of metamorphisis?

I apologize if this has been addressed before, I read throgh this thread and did not see :s

 

Are none of the Warlock CC's being updated anymore? Seems like the DPS is really low for raiding

 

I could be wrong, but believe Zerfall was designed for PvE survivability--not raiding. I also believe CodenameG is working on making it more robust (to address things like raiding), but CnG serves no wine before its time.


cheers,

Generally good CC.
But I miss Health funnel, Soul Harvest - this is really need.
Althoug Axe Toss and Felstorm (custimizeable would be perfect) is really hard need.

When these is implemanted its nearly perfect.

 

Yes, but im currently busy with the amplify re-vamp

it detects when its in an instances, and uses its own rotations built specifically for that.

all these options are there, maybe you didnt look hard enough

 

How is Gen 4 coming? Need a tester
