Well, one of them isn't specifically for warlocks, but it does help. First buff: they are changing Conflagrate, the Destruction tree's top-tier spell, to instant-cast and upping it's damage and mana cost. This is a great change, because right now Conflagrate is useless. I currently have more than 30 points in the Destruction tree but Conflagrate is so useless that I didn't spend the 1 point it would take me to get it.

Second buff is for all debuffs - they are changing the debuff limit from 8 to 16. So us locks should be able to drop some more debuffs on bosses. As it is, I don't drop many DOTs on bosses because they get bumped off by crap like Deep Wounds, or because I'm worried they will bump off something else, like SW: Pain.

So good news for locks next patch!

Huh? I thought the debuffs were there, you just couldnt see them. A graphical limitation i thought...?

Nope, it's an 8 debuff limit right now. You can still see them behind the character icon but those are part of the 8. Drop a debuff on someone who already has 8 on them and you bump one off the list.

Nice, but I an armor upgrade would be nicer :)

Do you spam searing pain then? Doesn't that pull aggro?

Great news on the debuff limit, but it would be nice if they'd push it to something effectively unlimited.

Warlocks are stupid

I agree

nice little thing for Lock's actually being able to use their abilities in a raid setting...

Warlocks are stupid

ass :p

Yeah I do spam searing pain a lot. It can pull aggro but the bigger the group, the less likely that is to happen, I find.

It's nice because with the added critical hit chances my searing pains often hit for 400-500 damage, as much as a shadow bolt but with less time/mana cost.

I like the Destruction tree the most because it requires the least thought. ;)
