Well, bye bye hybrid and destruction spec damage. Conflag only critting for 6kish now, GG lordaeron. Glad this unannounced nerf was made due to the fact that it hit too hard in pvp.

I doubt they just nerf it because some people cry it hits too hard in pvp.
That bug was for molten core which is a talent in demonology tree and is why hybrid spec was doing so much damage. However, whatever method they used to fix it is also effecting destruction warlock conflagrate damage and it should not be.

That video is of a warlock in hateful gear hitting for 7k conflags back in retail WOTLK (Video reuploaded 2012). That's not a private server. Currently I am critting 3600-4k on ZERO resilience targets like a target dummy as destruction. They messed up conflag damage for destruction when they were trying to fix bugged hybrid talent.
Its not nerf, its a bug and now 2 specs are completely unplayable. Go to bugtracker and vote it up coz we need this fixed.
That video is pre 3.3.0 patch on retail (video upload date 2009-07-20 WCM, patch 3.3.0 date - December 8, 2009), which means those 7k conflags are the old version, before nerfted it and shouldn't be used as any evidence (pre nerf version was either 12 or 15 secs of immolate, depending on actual time the footage was taken).Quote:

Well then goodbye destruction warlock pvp until wrathful and ICC is released which that nerf was designed for.
So seeing as both hybrid and destro are pretty bad right now, what would be the best spec in a raid environment for tier 7/8?
I've tested all 4 specs but only on dummies (3,9k gs). Here it seems affliction is the best but I'm not sure it would be the case in an actual fight when you have to deal with mechanics, adds etc.
What do you guys think?
It's not that bad - Hybrid still does about the same damage as Demo-Meta-Imp, but Demo has better raid buffs and is more versatile. Affliction does slightly more than both, depends on encounter (since demo is heavily influenced by meta usage and Affli has better multi-dot). Haven't tested deep destro. Yogg almost requires Affli for last phase.
is it still bugged or they fix it?
You are all dumb ... prior patch 3.3.0 Conflagrates dmg was 100 of the Immolates DoT. After 3.3.0 it was changed to only 60% dmg + a DoT for 40% of the Immolates DoT. So now you are doing the same dmg, but not in a single hit ... face it! Its working fine, you are just bad.
Here's the link: http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Conflagrate look at patch changes from patch 3.1.2 to patch 3.3.0 and 3.3.2!
Yesterday with FAR more haste than I need as destro PvE (the haste cap is at 1150, I had 1600) I pulled 16k DPS without even trying ... and the average dmg of my Conflagrate on DBS was 12k, with max 17k and min 9k ...
