Uh, for some reason I have never been able to use the WoW forums. They won’t let me log in. Anyways, Brewfest sucks. Sure, there’s nice trinks, but I don’t see any point in getting the tokens at all now. Used to be able to get a mount from them, now I have to kill the boss a squillion times and hope that it drops and hope that I get it … my 558 tickets from last year are meaningless. I wish they’d just kept it the same (for the mount at least … nice trinks from boss) and I could’ve just bought the damn thing.

if you have suggestions or questions regarding specific abilities or classes don’t cry about them here, go to the ptr and then post in their forums – that is why they are there. and i didn’t really understand pirate day; you get a buff to look like a pirate for an hour, then talk to the captain chick in booty bay and get the buff extended to a day…no fun items, no rep, no quests? tried it out but didn’t understand the point. meh guess they can’t all be brewfest.

Eh? It seems that there’s a discrepancy between the patch notes and the talent calculator in the link provided above. The patch notes have Emberstorm as reducing Incinerates cast time by 0.5 secs (5/5), so it seems that Blizz gave fire locks some love after all! Assuming the patch notes are correct, and not the talent page. In which case I’m quite happy, and have no other gripe with the talents. Though maybe Empowered Imp could be further up the tree so people could build an Imp spec, going down to Demonic Empowerment in the Demo tree and Emp Imp in destruct tree! That’d be a fun build to try, alas it’s not to be. Oh well.

*sigh* Blizzard has changed the cast time reduction of Incinerate granted by the Emberstorm talent back to -0.25 seconds instead of -0.5 seconds. I don’t get it. If you look at the raw spell, Incinerate should be more powerful than Shadowbolt when there is an Immolate on the target, less powerful when there isn’t. Yet, because of the way +spell damage is linked to cast time (rather than as a direct multiplier) Shadowbolt is *much* stronger. In fact, I currently have +93 more fire damage than shadow damage *and* I have +10% fire damage from Emberstorm, which should make Incinerate far far better than Shadowbolt, regardless of whether there’s an Immolate on the target and yet Shadowbolt still does more damage when there isn’t. When you factor in the damage increase debuff from Improved Shadowbolt, Shadowbolt is the superior choice. So much for the idea of a fire lock. Really, the only fire spells I even use are Immolate and Conflagrate. Rain of Fire is the suck, Hellfire is too dangerous and too expensive given it’ll likely get interrupted, Searing Pain is too weak and yet also too agro intensive and Soulfire is a non-starter since it has a 4 sec cast time (even with talents), a 1 min CD and costs a shard, which is harder to farm for destro locks.

The point of all this is that I was looking forward to being able to abandon Shadowbolt altogether and simply use Incinerate. It should be the superior choice for a destro lock. But Blizzard have decided to keep it nerfed. I’m not saying that there aren’t other really nice changes, which there are, even more so for destro locks compared to affliction or demo, but I’m disappointed that Incinerate is still practically useless.
