Lower Level DPS Help

Post by Morrtarius

Hello everyone, I could use some help with dungeoning as I level. I played Demo for a long time up to level 54 and now I decided to switch to Affliction for a bit, however, my DPS has dropped by about half. I can't seem to even finish DoTing an enemy before they are killed. What am I doing wrong? I feel like I am slowing down the groups I join because I can't seem to do much DPS.

Currently I use this priority:
Curse of Elements
Agony
Corruption
Unstable Affliction
Malefic Grasp
>20% Drain Soul

I'd recommend Destro at that lvl, because all pve is still about bursting down the boss, and Chaos Bolts help you a lot with that :) Btw your affli prio seems about right :P

Yeah...when I was leveling my shadow priest...I could barely get any ticks on my DoTs before the target was dead.
I really wanted to hone my Dot rotation but it was an effort in futility against Heirloom geared melee.
Except for bosses, I ended up just mindblasting/mindspiking everything and practiced rotations on target dummies.
I am now leveling a warlock as well...stick to Demo in dungeons and then switch to affliction with quests.
