Shadow locks keep ISB up for one another, making them all DPS more...fire locks, do what for each other exactly?Originally Posted by Sholtar
Depends on who you roll with. That shadow weaving can make SB pretty ungodly.
Rocket Sauce.
An overlooked problem with Fire Destruction is poor haste scaling. After reaching the required haste for a 7-Incinerate rotation, the haste up to an 8-Incinerate is not as effective as it would be for Shadow Destruction.
Incinerate may be more mana efficient than Shadow Bolt, but using Immolate makes Fire less mana-efficient.
Shadow Destruction still has a higher coefficient and thus will scale better with raw spell damage.
Not only will higher ISB uptime increase Shadow Priest DPS, it will also increase mana return from said Shadow Priests, thus increasing the DPS for other raid members as well.
Fire is for terribad Mage rerollers.
