Sorry, brotha. To busy with family to post all this information. Pretty simple issue to describe though. Consistent FPS whole fight until Drain Soul becomes my next talent to cast. Once Drain Soul starts channeling my FPS tanks about 30FPS. Once it's done, FPS goes right back to normal.

Something is up with Drain Soul in the latest version. Have a good one man and look forward to the next update!

i also have this problem only on warlock affliction , also i can say boss encounters do trigger alot of performance issue until u pause it

[Hekili]

Still has to be properly reported. Update and provide the missing info.

I have two changes in that should reduce CPU usage.

1. I revised the APL to avoid rechecking the darkglare_prep list multiple times each time the recommendations are iterated upon. This is in 1.0.12.

2. In 1.0.13-beta1, I've added a "Manage Drain Soul Ticks" checkbox for Affliction, defaulting to false. If checked, the addon models the application of Shadow Embrace with each tick of Drain Soul. That is the other CPU intensive piece that isn't particularly beneficial when generating recommendations. If checked, the addon will use more CPU to try to time channel breakage along with Drain Soul ticks. If left unchecked, the addon only has to check if it has a recommendation before Drain Soul ends or after Drain Soul ends.
