Section 7.2 contains everything you'd ever want to know about Dark Intent.

I use bartender4, and have 4 bars out on my screen, pretty much I have one for main combat spells, one fore buffs/out of combat spells, one for profs and one for everything else. So for Dark Intent I'd place it in my buffs bar and then be recasting it just before the start of each fight, just to be double sure that it doesn't drop off mid fight.

DraconisAerius, I think you misunderstood the question behind this thread. siande simply wanted to know *who* to put his dark intent buff on, not *where* on his bars.
Ah yes I see. The op wasn't very clear about that imo.

Aff-locks are prolly the best.
HoT classes are best in terms of stacking the periodic buff actually since they're putting HoTs on several players the number or periodic effects that have the potential to crit is orders of magnitude greater than a DPSer.
HOWEVER, putting your DI on another warlock in a raid environment is almost certainly a terrible idea. the haste stacks but the 9% does not so you're wasting a potential 9% to periodic effects for another raid member. it isn't FM you know.

Enchant Boots - Lavawalker +35 Mastery
Enchant Boots - Mastery +50 Mastery
only thing I dislike he said is the enchant. He wants the 35 mastery over the 50 mastery....makes 0 sense, the small speed increase isn't going to matter if your trying to out run a boss or run from a wipe.
so if I see this correctly 35 > 50...
Wait... what?

i think he's referring to the EJ article.
this is completely off topic for this thread and if you have a problem with the details of a thread on another forum then go and ask them about it. however, run speed is rated VERY highly by serious raiders and, no it's not for out-running bosses.

I don't believe it does. When you put it on your pet you only get the haste as far as I am aware. Good for soloing though.

He (the EJ guy, not you) is absolutely right. The small speed increase is vital. It makes running from things a bit easier and most importantly running 7% faster will decrease the time you have to spend running by 7% which means you get to spend that tiny bit of time doing your proper stationary rotation which is a dps increase! Yes, it's not a major dps increase - but neither are 15 mastery. Running faster is certainly worth giving up those 15 mastery.

pff, hell if I know where it's most effective on.
Feral cats use quite a bit of bleeds so you can't go wrong there.
Shadow priests are pretty sweet too.
It should work on healers I think, but I don't know if it'll work off of a paliden's holy radiance which is basically the only healing dot they have I think.
It appears to be on the same level as focus magic where it's easy to keep up all the time if placed on a reasonable target.

cats basically use two bleeds and only ever on a single target at once. they're fine if there's no other options but really not ideal.
shadow priests are about as good as it gets as far as DPS are concerned but resto druids are the best.
remember that in a boss fight a DPSers will only have DoTs ticking on one target for the most part. meanwhile your resto druid has a HoT that ticks every second up 100% of the time on a tank and is using other HoTs on the whole raid. a raid healing holy priest will be better than any DPSers also for the same reason.
paladins... not so much.

Actually putting Rake on multiple targets tends to give higher numbers than spamming Swipe.
The actual reason why I'd rather put it on a caster rather than a cat is because of the haste DI gives. Haste doesn't affect bleeds. It does however increase energy regen and give faster auto-attacks. But I still think a caster gains more from it.
As always, I could be wrong about that last part.
Edit: but I do agree hot based healers (aka holy priests and resto druids) are the best.

ah ok, that's interesting.
i still read about druids but my own is as yet languishing at 81... which is odd because that was my second character to max level (back when 70 was max - i only had the warlock and a twink rogue in vanilla). i've got 6 85s now but it looks like the druid will be next and i'll take it cat-style for cataclysm since i've already got two healers up.
(what? you mean i'm not supposed to derail outside of the abyssal maw? dammit.)
