Yes, nightfall is a great talent, especially for pvp. With an affliction build you have many dots that can proc this and it actually does proc quite often when you load said dots on an opponent.

Having an instant cast shadow bolt is amazing and while it may not proc every time you need it and you shouldn't rely on it, it can mean the difference between life and death and truly comes in very handy.

I'm not big on the math aspect, but it definately procs enough where I would never skip it in an affliction build. In short, it is definately worth 2 points.

It only procs off corruption and drain life.

As was said, Corr and Drain Life are all that affect it. However, in PvE, I have it proc at least every other fight, and quite often every fight, sometimes twice in one fight. It procs a lot more often than you would think.

Hmm I was under the impression siphon life also had a chance of procing nightfall, although I may be wrong.

Having always had it as part of my affliction build I still highly recommend it reguardless of what dots it procs off of.

In pvp a NF proc can be a godsend for you and spell (:-)) disaster for you opponent. Running and tab casting corruption and when NF procs do the jump, turn ,instant cast, turnback and run trick.

There always seems to be a pve or pvp moment in which you desperatly need some health and kill the enemy at the same time so you drain health, a NF proc at that moment will often give you the win.

Not taking these 2/2 NF, means putting points somewhere else if you want to reach UA (shadow mastery for that matter). I can't think of anything else then 3/3 emp Corr (build), then again if you are boosting corruption to toss it around, why not have the benefit of NF proc?

Watch you buff part of screen,you ll see flashing nightfall icon,also you can notice by black sparks falling on over you ,kinda black snow.

Necrosis(mod) has some kinda of warning I think,but I hate it so I just pay attention more ,once you get hang of it you'll never miss another insta sb.

OT ,get 2/2 Nightfall ,after few days you'll see why its good.Especially in pvp.
It was told in other posts why so I wont repeat ,just get it and like it.

I personally get this awesome Unreal Tournament style voice going "Shadow Trance!" at me. He is kinda scary. He just laughs at me when I select unfearable targets.

However, Nightfall is worth it, if it proccs. If it doesn't, it isn't worth it. Now go over your playstyle, and see if you use alot of Corruption and Drain Life. Since I do, I get a metric crapton of it. The one thing though, is that it is after all completely uncontrollable. In the one fight where you really wish for a few instant cast shadowbolts, you might end up proccless.

But the day I really found it to be the most useful? When I faced a Warrior and a Paladin three and four levels higher than me. Seeing Nightfall procc five times in the face of that Paladin was just awesome. I've never downed an enemy that fast before, nor have I ever seen a more surprised looking corpse (in my mind, I guess, but still). The Warrior was then easily dispatched through some Fearing, Kiting, and Draintanking.

I spent two talent points on that moment. If I never again see that kind of proccing, I will still consider it sooo worth it.

Yup. For me it wasnt as much killing with it, but noticing alot of procs within no time. I don't know if it can even happen, but in my perception it did. I had NF proc, but stubbern as i was didnt use it. Then it procs again.. and again ... and again ... and again .. I believe i had NF up for over 30sec.

Never did fire it though. Still, i would think its worth it and i miss it on my current Demo build.
