i got a socket in my new helmet! i heard you can get special gems with zm powers? still trying to figure this out does anyone know?
Yep.
Haven, Exile’s Hollow, and Pilgrim’s Grace each have an Enhancement Console. You can spend Pocopoc’s energy at the console to get buff crystals. There are lots of different buffs, you get a random selection of 3 each time you use a console.
The buff crystals normally last 15 minutes and you can have 3 buffs at a time.
In order to use this system you need to research Aealic Understanding (the 2nd column of the Cypher console).
That column has additional options to get longer-lasting buffs, and get them cheaper, and have more than 3 buffs at once.
But the bottom item lets you get special buff crystals that can either be used as normal, or put in a socket for appropriate Cypher Equipment.

In addition to this wonderful answer:
Get the toxiacalic (spelling?) buff – it does awesome damage.

Just remember that the “gems” wont work in dungeons, raids or battle grounds. They work everywhere else tho.
Kind of dumbass if you ask me. I know because I have a gem in my helm

Healialic is equally as great. You pretty much become unkillable lol

Heal is good, the toxic one is vastly superior because sometimes it will overtick on elites. I did 30k dps on the world boss. Even without that though, it is very very powerful. It can be hard to find if you aren’t paying attention because there is a tooltip bug when selecting. It will say crit instead of the %life thing.
Pics or it didn’t happen.

Toxicalic is supposed to cap at 6% of your max health on elites. However, if you’re affected by certain buffs that increase your damage by a %, such as the orbs that have been purified on the world boss, it starts doing 2% each tic. This persists until you leave combat after getting a buff like that.
I do use Toxicalic, but only because of that. I’ve submitted bug reports about it though. (Don’t attack me for that, lol)
Healialic is also bugged, in that it will actually revive hunter pets each tick. (I don’t know if it works on warlock pets) So as a hunter, with Healialic, your pet is quite literally invincible, as even if it dies, ti gets revived with 1% health every second. Also submitted bug reports for that.

Oh no,so that was what that was now I feel embarrassed 
And think about poor archeology.
They said there’s no such thing as archeology in the realm of the dead and then had an entire patch dedicated to doing archeology not using the profession.

This was very funny to play with using pets that have dramatic death animations.

Even when it doesn’t do the bugged ticks (and it does at least 2/3 of the time versus a ZM boss), it is still over 600 dps. It is affected by anything that adds a percentage dps, this might be intended. But it is a separate thing with the bugged hits which are clearly not.
