• Wow Shadow Damage

This guide focus on the DPS Rotation for both Frost and Shadow build of Warlock. I've made this due to the new KR skill patch with the SoulBurn nerfed and ne. Why not mythical tempest sigil? Gives u flat lightning dmg and OA. I have no%Weapon damage on AAR so the flat lightning goes to waste. Also Mark of Unlife is a very personal preference of mine I guess. Edit: if you want more OA on medal, check out Calamicious Desires and Mark of the Shadow Queen. 'Increases damage and healing done by spells and effects by up to 42.' 'Increases Fire damage done by spells and effects by up to 42.' The common misconception surrounding these bonuses is that the item grants a random bonus between 1 and 42 for each spell cast.

'See how the shadowflame animates their bones! They fight at my command!'^[1]

Shadowflame refers to a type of magic wielded by warlocks. It is a multi-school, combining the Fire and Shadow schools. Multi-school abilities benefit from bonuses that affect any of their schools, use the lowest resistance value among their schools, ignore absorption and immunity effects that apply to only some of their schools, and can be used even when one or more of their schools have been locked with an interrupt effect.
