"There is already a more powerful spell active"

These words is beggining to annoy me when i am refreshing my dots. I know its caused when i use my dot when i had some spell power buff, and try to refresh it with less spell power than before.
I normally start refreshing dots when they got 3 or less seconds left. And then it is really anoying that i can´t! It makes me lose tons of dps, cuz it takes 1 second or so before my brain notice the problem and makes me use another Incenerate...
Is there any way that i can fix this problem?

You might not want to refresh DoTs soon. That makes you lose DPS, because you're wasting damage ticks and time better spent otherwise.

QFT. Clipping dots is bad.

I know but i dont refresh Corruption and CoA at the same time. CoA last much longer. But sometimes they will fade almost on the same time. I click my CoA and then i click corruption. 1 sec too early is better than 2 secs too late.

clipping DoTs is indicative of being a very bad player. to clip DoTs purposefully means that you're misunderstanding the source of warlock damage and really missing the whole point of the class.

it is always better to cast another shadowbolt instead of refreshing the DoT early... ALWAYS.

No, it's not. 2 seconds too late is better than 1 second too early. Let your DoTs expire.

it's better to lose 1 sec of dot ticks than to have 2 seconds of nothing but that's not true

fixed

actually its better to clip the dot 1 second earlier that to leave with no dots for 3.+ seconds. If you are that crap :D

Publication par asakawa

well actually...

↑ = tick
corruption ticks every 3 seconds:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
↑ ↑ ↑ ↑
^last tick+recast
*ticks every 3 seconds and recast perfectly

casting late:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
↑ ↑ ↑ ↑
^recast late
*5 seconds without a tick but efficiency is maintained and
allows for constant filler use

now with clipping:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
↑ / ↑ ↑
^recast early
*5 seconds without a tick but the first corruption's DPCT is
dropped by 20%. no filler is gained
