99 Parse | Heroic Queen Ansurek - Affliction Warlock!

Watch from my PoV as I get a 99 Parse on Heroic Queen Ansurek as an Affliction warlock!
In this video, I show you my PoV on getting a 99 parse on Heroic Queen Ansurek.
I am considering making a guide that goes through the specifics of cooldown usage, overall goals, and some tips to help you with your first kill or parses on this boss. Please let me know in the comments if that is something you'd be interested in!
If you have any questions please put them in the comments!

Hey man that was absolutely amazing I would love guides on how to mange cds I just played warlock this expansion and love it and seeing how you play really made me learn more things! ❤

[@krozothebozo]

Thanks for the idea! I want to work on some guides so I'll see about making one relating to rotation/managing CDs. :)

Perfect!! No.1 warlock krozo

[@krozothebozo]

thank you bro B)

[@Dogheadman]

very nice! congrats! but I saw many warlocks switch to destruction doing mythic do you feel affliction can do the same in M raid?

[@krozothebozo]

Thank you! Affliction will be fine to play in the raid, and even the best spec on some fights. Destruction damage is pretty close to aff but feels a lot more consistent to me, soul shard generation is much more reliable and the spec is quite simple too. Plus you have a lot more mobility in destro compared to aff with so many instant casts with shadowburn and conflagrage, so you aren't punished as much when moving during a lot of the hectic fights. That being said; I think you should just play whatever spec you are most comfortable on. I will play a mix of aff and destro in the raid since they are my most comfortable specs! :)

@@krozothebozo thanks! looking forward to your new videos.

Super cool, im curoius, what addon is at the top middle of your screen that says 'pull in' and 'slow' at 3:14? Is that bigwigs doing that? I dont think mine does

[@krozothebozo]

Thank ya! That is a part of my BigWigs setup. Make sure it is updated, and if it still doesn't appear like mine, you can type /bigwigs and go into the specific settings per boss and change what does/does not show. For example, that "slow" you referred to is called "Paralyzing Venom" in bigwigs, and if you check the boxes for bars and/or messages you will get notifications like I have. Hope that helps!

[@UMCorian]

Well done! I like your UI better than Kalamazi's - very simple and clean. Do you have an import link by chance?

[@krozothebozo]

Thank you! I use the "Warlock Pack" by Afenar, I'll link it for you. The pack tracks some warlock utility (soulstone, healtstone, ports, etc..) but I delete that part of the WA to clear my screen of clutter. wago.io/Afenar_Warlock

[@The_Sin_Man]

you like having 2 cast bars?

[@krozothebozo]

@@The_Sin_Man lol honestly i just didnt wanna remove the default cast bar from the edit mode in wow ui. now i kinda like it as a meme

[@krozothebozo]

I thought I replied to this comment, but I can't see it. Sorry for being so late to reply. I use the Afenar Warlock Weakaura pack. wago.io/Afenar_Warlock

My pi target ❤

[@krozothebozo]

The main reason I'm parsing well ;)

[@arian3946]

yo how do u like drain soul vs shadow bolt? any fights u think sb is better also what fights vile taint vs phatom

[@krozothebozo]

I really enjoy using shadow bolt. It does more damage upfront, and nightfall procs making it instant cast make shadow bolt feel much better to use during hectic fights with movement, or just for maintaining shadow's embrace. Drain soul does a lot more damage in execute, though, which is generally the most important place to have damage. Most of the top logs will be using drain soul but SB is definitely a viable option if you like it. I use shadow bolt on Silken Court for sure. So I used vile taint to somewhat pad if I am being honest, lol. It applies curse of exhaustion, so I could slow the gloom adds in phase 3, but also it applies two dots so my raptures hit those adds harder. My boss damage was quite low because I used vile taint over ps. My group had a lot of boss damage though, so it was fine for me to cheese a little bit.

[@Matheus_Ronu]

What do I need to do to have a high Parse? What is evaluated? From what I understand it's not just the damage

[@krozothebozo]

Hey there. There are different types of parses. Dps parses, healing parses, boss damage, etc. Generally, for a DPS parse, what matters is your damage. So, having better gear and doing your rotation well will in general result in better parses. That being said, some fights have adds that are not counted on warcraft logs, so to parse well, you need high dps on the targets that matter. There is so much that goes into getting a good parse. Gear, group size, group dps, consumables, PI, adds vs single target, doing mechanics correctly, etc... A generic answer about how to improve your parses would be to get comfortable with your rotation on a target dummy and getting comfortable with the mechanics on the boss. Once you feel comfortable with both it is much easier to actually parse. I hope that kind of answers your question. I plan on making some guide/commentary videos for the bosses in Nerub-ar Palace to help highlight some ways to improve on each boss :) Are there any specific bosses you are having trouble with?

[@Matheus_Ronu]

@@krozothebozo Thank you very much for the answer, it helped a lot. My guild started HC progression this week and my parses are between 75 and 85 but I know I make a lot of mistakes in rotation. I didn't know about this detail about Wlog not counting certain adds, I'll pay more attention. A guide that I would find extremely interesting would be tips for the bosses and also for m+, I believe they would help a lot. Thanks again for the answer, hugs from Brazil

[@krozothebozo]

@@Matheus_Ronu 75-85 is pretty good for your first week of progression! Have you used the website "Wowanalyzer" before? You link the log of a specific fight and it will give you some info on basic things you can improve on (dot uptime, overcapping soul shards, etc..) And yeah, warcraft logs just had an update for Rasha'nan, the leaderboards do not count add damage anymore. I'll keep m+ in mind as well!

[@EdmundAlley]

Bro , can you link your weak aura / addons

[@krozothebozo]

For sure! I don't really use that many addons or weakauras to be honest. I made my UI setup in edit mode, based on the classic layout [the link breaks when I try to post it in the comments here, sorry :( ] After that I use the Afenar warlock pack to track my warlock abilities : wago.io/Afenar_Warlock Then I just use BigWigs to track raid encounter timings and Details for dps meter. I'm not sure how to link them, but just look up BigWigs and/or Details where you download your addons from.

[@EdmundAlley]

@@krozothebozo thanks bro for fast reply,I really like the tracker layout for your main cooldowns and dots . Icons are large and very clean , is that the default afenar or did you customise ?

[@krozothebozo]

@@EdmundAlley No problem! I edited his a little bit. I removed the utility section that tracks soulstone, demonic circle, etc since i didnt need it. I also removed the sound effect from one thing it was tracking. Minor changes really. That being said, I am using an older version, so the new one might be slightly different than what I have tbh. I haven't compared them, lol.
