Interesting little thing you can do with this spell, If you're running low on mana, and you want to try and finish someone off with a Conflag, use rank 1 Immolate, then conflag, It still does the full damage. :)

Edit - This has been changed and is no longer viable as of 3.0.

Was fun while it lasted though. Just Life Tap and keep going I suppose :P

The trick of course with Conflagrate is to use it when the Immolate has 1 tick to go (under 3 seconds remaining), to maximise your mana used per damage point.

When mobs (like Drakkisath) cast Conflagrate, it has a disorient effect. I don't suppose this spell has one too?

Comment by 104258

what if the target is under the effects of both Shadowflame and Immolate?

Comment by GladiatorDude

If you have both Shadowflame and Immolate on the target, the Conflagrate spell will take the highest damage effect and apply the damage from that.

So basically, Immolate's damage will be done from a Conflagrate on a target with both Shadowflame and Immolate.

So, is this considered a nerf? It seemed preety OP yesterday in arenas. Havent played since this patch yet.

Comment by 256454

I just tested this too - Conflagrate is always taking the greater damage, Immolate (about 2.5x greater for me).

(I was, however, using Glyph of Conflagrate, but I doubt that the game would choose differently depending on whether or not you have that glyph, so it shouldn't matter.)

This means that you don't have to avoid putting Shadowflame on a target for fear of it nerfing your Conflagrate damage.

Hmm so pvp warlocks can do 10k+ Conflag crits on me with 803 resil......I never knew 12 seconds of immolate did 7.5k+ dmg after 12 seconds

Imo needs a nerf it hits WAY to hard for an instant cast but i guess its good when your fear, Succ, Deathcoil, Etc are on Cd

Comment by Skullhawk13

ten second cool down
Consumes an immotlate or shadowflame from the target

Unless you take up a major glyph slot, learn to play much? Ask for nerfs on classes like, oh I don't know "Lol knock backs you take pvp repair bill when you afked in the air while I go into flight form/slow fall" for example or like I said learn to play the game or don't play. Blizzard won't nerf cause you want so or you demand.

3.3 PTR: Conflagrate: Redesigned. This talent now consumes an Immolate or Shadowflame effect on the enemy target to instantly deal damage equal to 9 seconds of Immolate or 8 seconds of Shadowflame, and causes additional damage over 3 seconds equal to 3 seconds of Immolate or 2 seconds of Shadowflame.

How will this work with Glyph of Conflagrate?

Comment by 343352

i'd assume glyph of conflagrate would just do what it always does- keep immolate (or shadowflame) up even after conflagrate's been cast. so for 3 seconds after using immolate-conflagrate, you have 2 dots up instead of just the 1.

sounds like a pvp nerf to burst damage without losing its full potential.

Will this spell remove Immolate or Shadowflame in 3.3?
Since it is changed.

Comment by silkfire

Can someone explain why this spell is being nerfed? Does it really do that high damage?

Can someone explain why this spell is being nerfed? Does it really do that high damage?

It scales MUCH better than the average instant spell, and there's the problem

Conflagrate (3.2.2) used to do 628+.8*SpDam, and could crit.

Most instant spells gain SpDam*3/7 or Base+0.428*SpDam

The new Conflagrate does 3/4*(628+.8*SpDam) + 1/4 (628+.8*SpDam), but only the first part can crit, the second part is a DoT over 6 sec and can't crit.

Crits in the Destruction tree typically do 200% or 209% damage depending on Metagem.

As Immolate does 460+0.2*SpDam plus 157+0.2*SpDam every 3 seconds for 15 sec . Someone gemmed who crit on both attacks dealt (1028+SpDam)*2.09 Multiplied by talents, effectively instantly, plus a DoT worth 785+SpDam.

Talents included +6% + daze (Aftermath) + 10%(Improved Immolate) +15% emberstorm + 5% Master Demonologist +10%MoltenCore+10%T9 bonus

With SpDam in the 4000-5000 range, this was seen as a problem, and properly buffed, with procs, SD 5000 isn't out of the question.

An Immolate followed instantly by a Conflagrate in 3.2.2 where both crit, and all the bonuses mentioned above:

SpDam 3000 -> 14.3k possible +DoT +daze
SpDam 4000 -> 17.9k possible +DoT +daze
SpDam 5000 -> 21.5k possible +DoT +daze
SpDam 6000 -> 25.0k possible +DoT +daze
SpDam 7000 -> 28.6k possible +DoT +daze

I know this requires luck, and speccing for it, but you can see why they thought it needed adjusting as our Spell Damage increases.

Comment by rsabin

Question: This scales with buffs that "Increases the damage done by your Immolate by 10%" like T9 4-set bonus?
Item - Warlock T9 4P Bonus (Immolate, Corruption, and Unstable Affliction)

Comment by Kryptos

In addition, the periodic damage of Conflagrate is capable of critically striking the afflicted target.

You were saying?

Comment by Railander

The DoT part currently CAN crit.
Also if you're wondering what happens if you cast Conflagrate in an Empowered Imp proc, all the 3 DoT ticks will crit along with the burst damage.
This does not mean that if the burst damage crits normally that the DoT part will also crit its 3 hits, while it also doesn't mean that if the burst doesn't crit that the DoT won't either. This will only happen with spells that increase your next spell's cast critical strike chance to 100% (such as Empowered Imp).

Comment by 483248

Ok according to the wording on this spell it consumes "an" immolate effect on the target, does that mean if one lock immolates a mob the other can then conflag it?

Comment by TMWL

No, you can only use Conflagrate on mobs you have Immolated/Shadowflamed yourself.

Comment by 586589

So, does it do 40% of Immolates damage over 6 seconds, or 40% of the 60%?
100%x.6=60%x.4=24% 60%+24%=84% of Immolates damage, or 100%x60%=60%+(100%x.4=40%)=100% of Immolates damage?

Comment by Tripster

~~No longer a talent in Cat.~~
Wait, scratch that. It's the doormat ability of Destro

Comment by silkfire

It says that it consumes the Immolate DoT, but it doesn't. It innately keeps your Immolate on your target without the need of the glyph. Erroneous wording by Blizzard.

Comment by Kanariya

Consumption effect removed. 40% DoT effect removed. Does 60% instant damage flat out. Glyph of Conflagarate has been changed, and reduces cooldown by two seconds.

Comment by Mdubz

As of 4.0.1 Conflagrate can no longer be used in combination with Shadowflame.

Comment by 314255

Is the damage of Conflagrate the same regardless of how much time is left on the Immolate DOT? If not, would it be an overall DPS gain to reapply Immolate right before Conflagrate comes off CD if the Immolate DOT is only going to have a few seconds left?

Comment by 856099

@Eierdotter:
"Conflagrate has a 12 second CD with 2 charges (like DK runes)shure more dmg than Incinerate, but with the CD not spamable. wowhead should add the CD to the tooltip"

thx a lot for that.

i think the machanism of

DK runes,
Roll,
Shield Block, Double Time,
Savage Defense,
Conflagrate, Hand of Gul'dan(Chaos Wave), Demonic Slash, Demonic Gateway,
Angelic Feather and
Clemency

(or is there any others?) are similar.
so can anyone explain what's the cd of these "2/3 charges" system spells? (the cd of Angelic Feather, Demonic Gateway, Double Time and Clemency are clear)

Comment by Advem

Since patch 7.1.5 (Tue Jan 10 2017) Build 23038 the tooltip says it is using % of base chi..
Chi is used by monks NOT warlocks
"% of base chi" sounds wrong to me

Comment by matornot

The cooldown reduced by haste.
