This be talent, no spell. But cmon it rulez

Improved Backfire : Your Backfire effect has now abillity to stack after each application.When Shadow Bolt or Incenerate is released, Backfire will unleash them as many times as the effect has been stacked. Each continuing stack will decrease the effect of the spell by 15%

= Backfire stacked 5x =
1st Inc = 100% damage (normal)
2nd Inc = 85%
3rd Inc = 70%
4th Inc = 55%
5th Inc = 40%

All incenerates are fired in 0,75 seconds after each other and after first Backfire is used, the effect of Backfire is unable to activate for 30 seconds. If only one (the first) stack of Backfire is used, the 30 second CD will not trigger.

No GCD trigger and it will cast it even when you cast something else, or even if you are stunned. It cant be stopped unless you die or the stacks are depleted.

(mah english be sucking soz)

Hellfire should be a castable debuff, much like Starfall. Remove Rain of Fire. Tweak the talent trees such that Seed > Hellfire for affliction, but you use both, and Hellfire > Seed for Destruction, but you use both.

[Kinderwurst]

There will be no extensions to the Talent Trees in Cataclysm(they might change your current 51 point talent for something else; but wont be adding in say a 56 point talent); You'll just get an extra 5 points to use wherever. Blizzard said this during Blizzcon I'm pretty sure.

That said, they are extensively changing the talent tree's so you might get a completely different 51 point talent then you have now.

He's talking about as if through training, like how Shamans got Lava Blast at 75

Aflaming Chaos- Causes shadow damage that swirls around the target growing in power for 12 secs. After 12 secs or when dispelled it fears all targets in 5 yards and deals damage equal to to 75% of your spell power+760. Lasts 3 secs. 40 sec cooldown.


And for a 73 spell.

Hellfire revamped

costs 20% of your max health. 4 min cooldown
2 sec cast.

Summons a firey void spot that lasts for 1.5 mins. Deals 5500 damage per second modified by spell power per second as fire damage. Enemies caught into the firey spot are slowed by 40%. Damage from this effect cancels fear. (aka preventing dropping this and aoe fearing people into in arena.)

A different kind of "Oh Sh!t" button; I was bored

I believe the way the new Soul Shard system will work is to buff spells everyone uses, it's going to be a combat mechanic - like a resource, not a reagent.

Think of it like the old mechanism if you can remember that of amplify curse.
Selected spells with have an alternative or additional effect once they are empowered by the burning of a shard through the soul burn spell.
Potentially 3 uses, or 4 as demo before they need to be "recharged" through some mechanism, perhaps some "evocation" like spell which is a dps loss, but a resource replenishment. Like dks runes, only do not automatically refresh themselves during combat, but do very quickly outside of it.
These specifics were described at blizzcon, but like most things are subject to change.

Instant/near instant summon - fel domination.
Instant Soulfire - pom pyro like.
Longer duration/more healing on death coil.
3 Crits on searing pain.
Instant cast fear.

As for what we get come 85 this is not the first thread discussing this, and nor will it be the last.
We just have to wait and see what comes and hope that we get something special since this new mechanism is turning us into caster versions of dk's and making us less unique if anything, the opposite of what the original soul shard idea was meant to do, despite it being a hated feature of the class.

No! We have enough AoE, thank you!
Hell no!Hell Yes!No! And that will never happen!No!

Demonic Circle: Teleport
40 yd range
Instant
30 sec cooldown
Teleports you to your Demonic Circle and removes all snare and stun effects.

Only 40 yds? And still on a 30 sec cooldown? I'd propose 50yd and give it 20-25 sec cooldown. Since it's our only escape and our only serious cooldown together with DC.

[scandore8472]

How about changing curse of weakness to work like evasion, but in reverse and remove the joke of a hit debuff that our VW does :lol:

Curse of Weakness:

The target becomes weak for 15 seconds and and its chance to hit with spells and abilities is reduced by 50%. 2 minute CD.

Beta, actually.
But it would be a nice addition to the warlock repertoire.. Though with the increase in health, it might not be necessary for lock survival..

You're missing the point!
