The new Jinx pvp talent makes curses cost 1 shard and also apply agony and corruption. It allows to spend shards without casting for less buttons to click, but frankly, it's unimpactful for a shard cost. it should be replaced with Afflicted Soulburn, achieving the same goals in a funner and more deliberate manner.



Afflicted Soulburn:
Your Soulburn now also empowers your next Unstable Affliction to cast instantly and also apply Agony and Corruption dots but cost one more shard (so 2 shards overall combined with soulburn).

It also empowers your next Seed of Corruption, causing it to simply be instant.


The goal is to allow you to burn through shards rapidly for some instant damage when being heavily trained by melee, but at cost of sustained damage (due heavy shard cost) if you use it instead of intelligently finding times to cast.

It will achieve Jinx's goal and frankly be a good idea in pve too, but would be amazing in pvp. Hope blizz reconsiders as the direction of letting you spend some shards for burst without precognition proccs is a good one.
