Hot damn spolied today.
The PvE warlock 4-piece set bonus (Fel Spark) now increases the damage done by the next 2 Fel Flame spells by 300%, rather than increasing the critical effect chance of one by 100%.
The PvP warlock 4-piece set bonus has been redesigned. It now reduces the cooldown of Death Coil by 30 seconds.
He also mentioned Tremor Totem has been altered to be "usable under Fear, Charm, or Sleep effects, and pulses much more rapidly, but lasts 6 seconds and has a 1-minute cooldown."
Hopefully we might get a hint about ISF soon, lots of people are directly asking them about it, and so far the updates Zarhym has given are all answers to things people have asked about.

Oh thank god, I'm no longer dreading PvP in the next patch...
Set bonus for PvE is interesting. It is likely that this will mean that felflame will be cast on proc in place of a standard filler spell.

Indeed. I find myself looking forward to 4.0.6 more and more tbh.
@pilda, I agree it's most likely to ensure that the Bane we use keeps up with our other spells somewhat as we get more mastery rating. Makes me wonder if we need a Bane that does fire damage...
Also... since Aff and Demo won't be able to reach that talent soon, I hope something else gets a change to compensate for their loss in dps.

Is there any word on improved Soulfire. last thing on it was that you guys wanted to redesign it. Please do tell. Some of us are anxiously awaiting news on that.
Zarhym:
Sorry. Forgot to post that one. I'm still working to finish the latest patch notes. You can likely expect the updated notes to hit tomorrow evening.
Improved Soul Fire now increases Fire and Shadow damage done by 4/8%, rather than 7/15% spell haste. In addition, this talent has been moved to tier-3 Destruction, switching places with Aftermath.
Oh thank god. It will still be around (and important) for destro then, but will now stack with bloodlust and not &*!@ with immolate so much.

Dispelling both corruption and UA?

Ok fine, I didn't exactly know the spell that well, I assumed they "nerfed" it because it removed 2 dots at once. Seems they don't want it to dispel both Backdraft and Nether Protection? I dunno man.

not to mention they sometimes got a double heal for dispelling different types of magic from cleansing waters instantly outhealing the UA dispel dmg.

They purge our dots off their team so that we do absolutely no damage or pressure. Forget about fearing someone on the shaman's team since it gets taken off faster than you cast fear. Then they purge our hots off so it's a double dagger on us.
Like I already said, they can't purge our dots.not to mention they sometimes got a double heal for dispelling different types of magic from cleansing waters instantly outhealing the UA dispel dmg.
And that is getting nerfed:
Cleansing Waters no longer fires its heal effect twice when a shaman removes a Magic and a Curse debuff with a single cast.

I'm interested to see what this change to iSF means to non-destro locks (specifically potential damage changes). It definitely takes a bunch of pressure off not having to remember to keep it up at all times, but it was also a pretty decent damage increase.
I would imagine this completely changes our potential dps for any spec--so I'm interested to see what the sims look like.

Are you off your meds? You say that our dots can't be purged but the next quote you say it's getting nerfed.
Cleansing Waters
is a talent for
Cleans Spirit
(if i recall) which is not the same spell as
Purge
.

Read a few posts up, Purge's tooltip says it dispels
beneficial
magic effects. Since when are dots beneficial?

cleanse spirit is the defensive dispel for shamans and the one they should have nerfed.
