WOW BHA 56MILLION DPS
Friday, August 8th, 2008 - 11:49pm
I so want my lock in T5 Gear now. Giving enough time a lock can for the moment crank out enough dps to 1 Shot Kil'jad. http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/08/08/warlock-talent-plus-tier-5-set-bonus-equals-56-million-dps/
Don't blame me if the heals suck you're the one who said the shadow priest had to heal.
haha surprised this was bugged, although i imagine there was some people pissed off this was revealed, i'm sure they wanted it to make it in to release.

The trick capped out at 536,870,912 damage per tick. So it's actually alot higher than what you've mentioned. I'm guessing that's the max single damage amount you can get since it should have still kept increasing (darn,eh?)
It also took about 5 minutes to allow the spell to boost that high, but still, in any long fights, you could have the warlock not do anything for about 30 seconds, then start cranking this out. Pop SoulShatter when you catch up, then keep blasting until the boss kills you. You should be able to unleash enough to take off 20% of the boss' health before you get very dead in a 25man. Meaning, new strategy, bring like 7 healers, 4 warlocks and a shadowpriest, wait about 1 minute, and let them let loose. The group will be very dead, but the other 7 dps you usually bring should only have to deal with about 10% health.

Or you just put krindle in front of me, dilgus, tibbsy, and cope and I have faith that you will be able to keep the big evil monster off of us with your super tanking.
Well that or we all die and then guilt you into feeling bad.

Yeeeeah...
Assuming all your are doing is R1 Shadowbolts and Corruption ticks, I could probably gain aggro until you reach (X = DPS*0.63/~1100TPS, X = 1.3, Corr = 1/3sec), 7,000 DPS marker. Threat gains are exponential at 10%/3 seconds. 30second lead gives ~30,000 threat = ~75 seconds initial until threat catch, Total threat = 112,500, 50% Soul shatter use, reconfigure for reduced threat....buys 9 seconds...
Assuming you start off with damage equal to the guy in the vid, 700 initial tick on Corruption, 84 seconds to build aggro to constant with tank, meaning total lifetime = 2 minutes, 48 seconds, or 46 compounded gains.
700*1.1^46 = 56,125
Total damage dealt per lock = 1.6 million
If you'd doing Corr ticks of 56k, I'm not responsible for keeping some big baddy pissed at me

Get 3 warrior tanks and circle-taunt?
With Improved Taunt, the cool down is 8 seconds for 3 seconds of guaranteed aggro, so with 3 warriors taunting in sequence you should be able to keep the boss busy regardless of what everyone else is doing. Maybe throw in a 4th to cover for the eventual resisted taunt hilarity?
Sounds like i need to roll a Lock
Yea though I have walked through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil because it will kill the clothies first

Elorin - lvl 70 frost mage

Seems like every time I really *need* to taunt a boss, he's immune.

Better than my plan of having max range kiting. I remember seeing two mages in Shattered Halls way back when continuously swap aggro with the mob running between them when the healer, tank and other dps were all dead...
With ticks in the 50k range, it would definitely be possible to spreadout and have it be invis-tanked

I love doing that, but I do it with my Hunter and my other Hunter buddy. We call it ping pong. But back on topic WOW that video is crazy. I pulled up the actual Youtube video page and I was very surprised to see how many ppl were calling that a private server since the mob he was attacking was not dieing. Sometimes I get very disheartened to hear of people that have never heard of BRD or Stratholme, or Scholomance, or any other Pre-TBC instance that took place 58-60.

Yeah, I never really ran any of the major stuff at 60, since I was unguilded and only lvl 60 for 3 days before TBC came out, but even I knew about those mobs (best way to level a weapon EVAR!)
