Great talent for raiding, increasing all Shadow Bolts Damage by 20% for the 12 seconds it is up, or until 4 are applied. Great for shadowbolt spam.

Comentario de billymx

Actually, this is now ALL shadow spells, even your DoT's, it only lasts for 4 non-DoT hits though so if a raid is spamming SB and other shadow damage spells, it won't last the full 12 seconds.

This is wonderful with the Affliction Nightfall talent though (2/4% on your Corruption & Drain Life ticks to activate an Instant Cast Shadowbolt).

For best benefit from this debuff try to spam SB while your Curse of Doom (with Aplify Curse)is about to tick. with mine +1214 shdw dmg and raid debuffs i reached about 14450 dmg from that tick, that boosts your dps for about 300-400dps, but also adds instant 15k Threat so be carefull and put your finger on soulshatter :P

Comentario de Blargenheim

The downside to this talent atm is that Shadowbolt doesn't seem to crit as much as it should. It took me about 15 casts to have a Shadowbolt proc with a 27% crit rating. Whether this was just bad luck, or the skill is truely broken, I do not know. But when using fire (Incin, Immo, Conflag), those spells seem to cast on the majority of my casts. Crit every 2 or 3 spells.

I don't recommend picking up this talent unless you are planning to put most of your talents in Desctruction tree and stack crit. As affliction warlock all of your gear should give you higher +spell dmg instead of giving you any crit: eg Gladiator's Gear: https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/itemset=568 and items like https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=33882 and https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=33883. Those are the ones that affliction warlock must wear. If you are gonna stack crit as affliction warlock you will miss out a lot of spell dmg and stamina AND you will be dependant on the 4% nightfall proc which will also have to crit in order to somewhat benefit.

Sorry if it sounds like a stupid question, but does this stack with itself/itself from other warlocks? I could swear I saw 2 and even 3 stacks of it somewhen...

Comentario de 130896

terrible talent for affliction locks in pvp. just a warning.

cataclysm is even worse. in other words, stay out of this tree.

Comentario de 60687

Ehhh.... Improved Shadow Bolt says "until 4 non-periodic damage sources are applied..." Smack in the face from normal DPS doesn't count as "non-periodic damage" ?? Coz if tank + rouges hit mob all the time 4 hits = max 2 sec buff...?!?

Maybe I'm just not "good at speaking da language"... :-S

i would like to know if mind blast eats 1 of these charges

Comentario de 157377

As shadowpriest I like the Shadow Vulnerability, because it also stacks with my Shadow Weaving from shadow talents! I guess it adds 10-15% more Mb, when I use MD and SW:D. It at least add 20% to my crits, and with this debuff, I can make 2 3k+ crits in a row with MB and SW:D. with improved VE and without Shadow Affinity, it is 12k thread in less then 2 seconds. Even tho, is still adds much for my DPS, and I just keep an eye on Omen, if needed.

Comentario de veno3

This ability will only effect the Warlock who cast it in WotLK.

Comentario de brillenschuss

do higher levels of this talent overwrite debuffs by lower levels?

say, for example warlock 1 has 5 pts in this talent and warlock 2 has only 4 pts, can they give 2 different debuffs? you can have 2 different talent levels of master healthstone in your inventory after all...

Comentario de Blightman

The current tooltip is misleading: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=10863436469&sid=1&pageNo=1#3

Basically iSB no longer affects DOTs

Comentario de veno3

This talent is planned for some changes in 3.1.0

# Improved Shadow Bolt – this talent now provides a 5% spell critical strike buff (similar to Improved Scorch).

does this affect haunt and SoC? (the explosion)

Comentario de DipDop413

Shadow Bolt has now even become more potent for the Affliction Tree:

Before I get the haters go all crazy with Destruction just look with what they are planning with talents alone in 3.1.0.

Improved Shadow Bolt: Increases the damage done by your Shadow Bolt spell by 1/2/3/4/5%, and your Shadow Bolt causes your target to be vulnerable to spell damage, increasing spell critical strike chance against that target by 1/2/3/4/5%. Effect lasts 30 sec.

Eradication: When you deal damage with Corruption, you have a 2/4/6% chance to gain the Eradication effect. The Eradication effect increases the critical strike chance of your Shadow Bolt spell by 30%. Each critical strike reduces the critical strike bonus by 10%. Lasts 30 sec.

While they did take away Siphon Life, the combination of those two talents *should* siginifigantly increase DPS on the basis that combined with Ruin, Bane, and Shadow Mastery, your Shadow Bolts are going to be hitting hard.

before u down grade my comment i was testing this talent on SW dummy lv 80 it doesnt improve shadow Damage.... it ONLY improves Shadow Bolt DMG
my corruption ticks for 645 per 3 secs with out buff
with buff it keeps ticking 645 per 3 secs
i applied after i get buff thinking i had to apply it after i get buff and still 645..... this is not worth it unless u spam SB i am re specing again...

Comentario de 291904

I think this is a good thing to pick up eaven for firelocks, the debuff stays on in 30 sec and buff th whole raid with 5% critt so you will only have to do 1 shadowblot every 30 sec and if you have Glyph of Curuption you can eaven get it instant sometimes. And i can't find 5 other points for a firelock that maches the 1% crit per point in the lower part so if you have anny ponints you don't know where to pu put it here!

Comentario de 321423

Seems like Imp.SB stacking with Imp.Scorch. Because I can see both of them in the debuffs row (if boss is already under Imp.Scorch you can't see Winter's Chill debuff)

Comentario de 75419

Anyone know if this works with Pandemic
edit - they removed the 'non-periodic' stamp, but does Pandemic truly pick this up?

Extra info about the current talent:
This most likely shares a debuff category with Improved Scorch and Winter's Chill, meaning that they won't stack (yet unconfirmed on this page). This is partially to take the pressure off of mages for always having to provide this debuff in a raid.

EDIT: Confirmed (blue post):

Shadow Mastery and Improved Scorch will no longer stack with each other.

Comentario de 339146

confirmed this inc 5% all destro criticals!

this spell is even good for fire casters deep in Demon/Destro specs (just make sure u re-apply the de-buff on ur target every 30 secs and cast ur incinerate/soulfire/etc)

imo this is beter than 6% more on dots of imolate and WAY better than 10% reduce mana on destro spells (when it comes of u trying to reach Godly 5/5 "Ruin"

remember we trying to inc DPS and and mana reduction is irrelevant when u can life tap and get healed (PvE). now PvP 10% less mana on destro spell is something u might wanna have to last on long fights

Comentario de Draconia

10% mana reduction is debatable but the fact that ppl don't pick the talent that gives the whole raid 5% spell crit is sad and that is why we warlocks fail.

Comentario de 339146

ok guys this is a SELF BuFF! and only applys to locks not to any 1 else (not even our IMP benefits from this!)
i have also notice that the personal buff its stealable from another lock with 5/5 imp SB

meaning u and the other lock will take the buff from each other when u land a SB (pretty anoying if u ask me)

SO Blizzard made this personal buff to ONLY apply to ONE person (the caster) whether they are in a raid or not,
in other words u will never see any target (mob/player) with more than one of this debuff...

example: 5 locks all have Imp SB, all shooting SB, the very last warlock to land a SB is the 1 that keeps the buff,
if u think about this, if more than 1 lock has these TP's no warlock will ever benefit from the 5% crit no matter who cast faster...

if u dont believe me b4 u down rate this, read comments above or simply ask a lock ;)

hopefully this will be changed on todays patch!
EDIT!: this is a raid buff indeed! it over rides other SB because only 1 is needed and it over rides scorch as IMP SB is more powerful.

Does it stack with the Moonkin or Elemental Shaman 5% crit buff?

Comentario de stepans20

would this talent stack with Shadow Embrace ?
I mean if this de buff would increase all critical strike chance, for all spells, DoTs included, this could mean a lot of extra DPS for Affliction Lock with Nightfall talent.

Comentario de Onijitsu

So here's the real question: Is a 5% crit-bonus to all spells (and 5% bonus to SB-damage) worth FIVE talent-points?

Comentario de Basmothel

Improved Shadow Bolt: Damage done by Shadow Bolt increased by 2/4/6/8/10%, up from 1/2/3/4/5%.

This talent is receiving a nice buff in the 3.3.2 mini patch.

Comentario de 331468

For clarity’s sake: Some of early comments on this page refer to the effect the talent had before it was changed, the past talent was:

Talent Tree: Demonology, Tier 1, 5 Total ranks

Your Shadow Bolt critical strikes increase Shadow damage dealt by 2% (4,6,8,10%) until 4 non-periodic damage sources are applied. Effect lasts a maximum of 12 sec.

It placed a debuff on the target called "Shadow Vulnerability" which increased the damage of drain life, shadow bolts, shadow burn, shadow wands, and dots for any lock in the raid and did the same for any priest using shadow spells, the shadow damage of a Death Knight's Scourge Strike or anything else doing shadow damage. This continued until four non-dot shadow attacks hit or until time ran out. It could also be refreshed by another critically hitting shadow bolt.

In patch 3.1 this was changed to the current "increasing spell critical strike chance".

Comentario de Noxlin

I have a feeling that this is pretty usefull to affliction warlocks aswell, as a buff to crit chances helps corruption and unstable affliction, aswell as the the fact that with shadow trance and the glyph you could be throwing one out at least every 12 seconds, helping your shadow embrace along.
