Today, per mmo champ, conflag was nerfed to 60% from 100% immolate damage. Futhermore, the dot portion was removed. This change makes cata conflag mechanically less than live conflag. Also, in previous beta builds, conflag was at 60% with a 40% dot.

The 40% dot portion does make a difference, especially in pvp. This is a heavy nerf unless the 40% dot portion is tacted back onto conflag.

Q u o t e:
I recant my concerns, but still, gc's response and then nerf was a mixed message


Yeah, sorry. I wasn't trying to bait and switch. I already knew about that change when I made that post, and it's tricky for me to keep straight what you guys are currently experiencing, have heard about but haven't seen, and don't yet know about. Hell, sometimes it's tricky for me to keep track of what changes we have made internally.

We added the dot back when the burst was too high, but it was always kind of weird to consume a dot to cause a dot, and we figured now was a great time to fix that.

Go hop on the PTR. Cast Conflag. You should be happy.

Q u o t e:
He's been doing that a lot to us lately.. "Shadow Bolt will be affliction's filler when not refreshing dots etc." But it has been proven that DL is indeed better than SB as afflictions filler on the ptr/beta.


Again, in this case, my information is more up to date, and I predict you'll be using Shadow Bolt.
