Drain life seems like a nice pvp buff atm anybody with have a brain will interrupt a warlock who is standing still for 3 seconds shooting a green beam.
People hardly ever interrupt me on live when I stand still for 5 seconds shooting a green beam... They wait for the nasty purple one.
Hehe you must be lucky anytime i bg rogues turn on there warlock tracker and make casting a non instant hell.

so we expected a BE nerf but "0.143%"? is that correct?
so with 7k SP BE is capped at 34 (rounded up) damage per second...
if it was 1.43% then we'd have 124 at 7k sp
if it was 14.3% then we'd have 1025 at 7k sp
Its not a nerf but just different wording. It used to be .5/1 of your spellpower divided by 7 now it is .071/.143 times 7 seconds which is equal to .497/1.001.
well if that's the case then mmo-c have mis-reported it as a percentage.
the old tooltip said "($SP * 1.0 + 167)"
the new mmo-c one says ""
what you're saying is the new one should read:
i hope you're right and it certainly makes sense since the numbers line up nicely.

That was my thought but if mmo-c did't make a mistake and its really suppose to be 0.143% i don't see anyone taking the talent

Fin's screenshot
how can you play like that Fin? I'd feel like Im trying to play wow through binoculars =)
By being poor and not being able to afford a good monitor, I have to shrink my UI massively so I have enough real estate for various addons >.< Also, my cata UI is really bad right now, on account of 50% of the addons I use not currently being compatible =(
^_^ I wasn't thinking much of the monitor size but rather the huge gray bottom bar and massive amount of visible, centered action buttons, etc. guess I imagined you to follow the minimalist road for some reason:P

Hehe, nah =P I operate based on information, the more the merrier... That being said, my action bars are massively full on Cata beta because Bind Pad is not working properly... if it was, I would have half of that handled directly in there instead of putting abilities with no CD on my bars =P

Demonology
* Summon Infernal is now under the command of the warlock for 45 sec, down from 1 min.
* Decimation now affects targets at or below 25% health, down from 35%.
* Impending Doom now reduces the cooldown of your Demon Form by 15 sec, up from 6 sec.
Destruction
* Backlash now has a 8/16% chance to proc, down from 13/26%.
EDIT: Have enough time to post my opinions on it now:
Infernal - Whatever.
Decimation - OUCH.
Impending Doom - Pretty big buff, I suppose we shall see just how useful this talent is shortly.
Backlash - umm, ok...

Pretty much what you said fin. Let's hope they make up for the nerf with Impending Doom. Here's hoping that it'll come out about even (or shorter!) compared to the current Nemesis.
About T11: ugly as ****. I can probably live with it if I don't show the helmet though (as I'm doing right now with T10 as well :D)

Speaking of t11, can I mention again how loathsome that 4p bonus is?

The helmet was what I liked most. Looks like Venger, from the Dungeons & Dragons TV series =P

Yeah...really not a fan of the 11 either. I wish they'd make something that seemed a bit more creative like tier 6.

hmmm I don't mind the shoulders of the t11, the rest is pretty lame though. I duno, might grow on me yet.
I wonder about Decimation though, maybe they made it 25% to keep it in line with drain soul? Actually my first thought on it was maybe they found 35% was too much on the new bosses but I duno since I'm not in beta.

not liking something =/= it not being creative or being lazily made.
Lots of creativity and work put into it, it looks great.

Not really. It looks like every set of wrath armor thrown into one set with twisty horns.

Not really. It's more the colours,and also the gloves and the dress, ah I mean robe, wait no I mean dress. Plus the hood looks ok but it isn't as warlock-y as some of the past set's have been. To me it looks like a demented DK t10 helm and a dress. But really it's the colours. I mean we finally get some green fire, and they give us clothes that are pink, purple and a sort of orange-y brown colour that reminds me of my dog's poop.

This thread is about anything and everything pertaining to the Warlock class in Cataclysm, including how our tier looks. TBH the other thread was completely unnecessary.

They've taken some hits as well. And how do you mean, "return" (PvE-wise)? They were only lagging behind until ToC.

Just started wondering, how far into cata will our end game gear get us?
