But... but... I'm Affliction
Almost Evil — ... change the need. I had been going from a pvp spec to a pve raid spec. I had decided that if the other affliction lock was not there I would go affliction the other times shadow mage. I was paying to redo my talents before each raid anyway. So this made sense. Welcome to the BIG crits. I was having critical hits in the 5K-8k range. And don’t get me started when bosses were vulnerable. /drool I manage two dots, my curse and Improved Immolate. Yes. My shadow bolt is on my 1 key. I have not broken it … yet. My current shadow mage spec is ...

Release of the Lich King, Expansion Transitioning, and Changes
Lume the Mad — ... The Homogenization and Redundancy of Some Buffs and Abilities The homogenization and redundancy of buffs really should be an issue to discuss in its own entry. I have a lot of negative things to say about this change. But I will try to keep it short and sweet in this entry to give you an idea of how it will reshape the landscape of raiding for Wrath.

I cast Corruption, ...

Stalking that Weird and Wonderful Creature, the Destruction Warlock
Destructive Reach — ... Improved Shadow Bolt: While I don’t throw Shadow Bolts like I used to, having ISB means that I save the mages the effort of keeping stacks of Scorch up for much less effort than what it takes them.  Sure, I lose a little bit of DPS, but utility is a wonderfully awesome thing that should never be underestimated.  DPS can be found most anywhere: utility and versatility can not.  Please note – if you regularly run with more than one Warlock, co-ordinate your Shadow Bolting.  If more than one person casts it, it cancels out the previous one.  Don’t waste ...

Spell Rotation for Single Target Fire Spells - Revised
Zanderfin's Wow "Casual" Raiding — ... All of that said, if you have a Destro Warlock in your raid/party, you can completely ignore Scorch. They have a talent that tacks on to their main nuke, Shadow Bolt, that will do this for everyone without the decrease in DPS. ...
