Im geared in 1/2 epics and 1/2 leveling gear and was pulling 1300+ DPS in Heroic V. Hold.
Is that good enough?
I'm sorry. I must have misread the title (Destruction PvE
DPS
Question(s))and his sole question.
I'm not saying go burst only, top dps, pull aggro and die. But if you have consistant high DPS, you will have high damage.
During the fight drop any instant attack you have, just like you said, get out of fire put up corruption. I'm saying start the fight with some good hits instead of weaksauce attacks like corruption.
And recount, which most ppl use. Posts "Damage Done(Dps)". As long as you survive the entire fight, general if you're at the top of one, you're at the top of the other.

Im Back! And better geared with some other questions...
My DPS might be lower then some but im usually one of the tops for overall damage done.. because of this ive managed to land a few PuG with some guilds that im now running 25man naxx gearing up for the new content. Finally...
Question:
Ive seen several Destrolocks pull out the Doomguard instead of the IMP on the bosses in VoA and in Naxx. Would he do better DPS on a boss or should i stick to the imp?
FYI im specc'd in PVE to improve imp in both Demo and Dest...

he does very slightly better in pet friendly fights with full buffs. this will likely change in the patch so don't worry about it but if you feel like a change then go for it.

damage = good.
dps = just a number.
NEVER sacrifice actual damage to try and prop up your dps. that is about the most utterly stupid thing i've seen suggested on this forum and kerminator should be thoroughly ashamed.
This, I hope no one ever thinks otherwise.. I truly do.

...topping 'damage done' meters, yes. not dps meter. anyone who posts that to raid chat is really deserving of your disdain.
in a raid it's not about what you have the potential to do it's about what you actually do. dps is a measure of potential. damage done is a measure of your contribution.
don't just try to look like you're contributing, CONTRIBUTE!
as for your corruption's 4k damage, the point is that you have zero dead time from starting a fight to the end. if you're running out of a fire then use the GCD to throw out a corruption.
really the attitude you're expressing is beyond the normal brand of vain stupidity and i repeat, shame on you kerminator.
yeah i agree asakawa.....ooohhhh imagine that me agreeing with you lol.
p.s i usually do i just dont like the way its put sometimes. but thats life, everyone has an opinion

your rotation is ++ungood.
i assume you're LTing because you have the glyph, in which case why would you do it AFTER your two highest DPET spells? they are the spells you really want to cast when you have every buff in place (particularly CoD). conflag is incredibly strong, use it early and use it often.
CoD does similar damage to CoA over the course of its minute duration. the difference is that CoD uses a single global cooldown while CoA uses two and a half.
wasted GCDs = lower damage.
corruption gives a lower return on your time spent casting it than destruction's filler spell, incinerate. this is why it should not be used in an optimal rotation.
this method of determining which spells to use works for all builds. for example, if UA did less damage per cast time than a shadow bolt affliction warlocks would stop using it.
it has been discussed at GREAT length in this thread that damage done is what matters and dps does not. why do you feel the need to ask this question again?

high latency? off day? bad luck on crits?
I and all the warlocks i play with regularly are still putting out about the same numbers as we were before the patch

Upgraded computer from xp to 64 bit vista.
Since then latency sits around 250-300 when before with xp it was maybe 100-120.
Just figured with my gear i would be up over the 2.5k mark...
