Unstable Afflic over-writing Immolate?Follow

Has anyone else seen this happen? My usual DOT sequence goes:

CoA
Corrupt
Immolate
(removed Siphon Life, which did go here)
Unstable Afflic

When I cast the Unstable, it always over-writes my Immolate. I try the Immolate again, but it just over-writes the Unstable. Would be nice to have those two both back in the line-up again. BTW, I cast from Blizzard's own UI interface, and not a mod, so that is ruled out.

Did you read any of patch notes for locks :p ?

You can't have immo and ua on same target anymore.

So it's not just me?

I thought I was going crazy or doing something wrong.

But then, I *just* picked up UA the day after the patch when I leveled to 52. So I had never used it before. But it seemed really odd to me that my immolate kept dissapearing.

It's bad enough Siphon Life is gone (as a seperate spell) but now I pick up a new DoT and lose 2 of my previous ones? Between my rotation having to be reworked and my Voidwalker going oom and getting chewed up way more than he ever used to (not sure what's up with that) it's been a rough couple of days for my lock. I think I'm getting it back down now though.

I guess Immolate just gets pulled off the bar.

They nerfed Voidy, also in Patch Notes.

Do people not read those before wondering why stuff is different after a patch?

Does it not occur to you that since there was a patch, maybe that would explain the changes. Then that possibly, by just reading the patch notes you could get an answer instantly rather than waiting for people on forums?

Unstable Affliction and Immolation are now in the same exclusive category (both damage- over- time effects cannot be present at the same time by the same caster on a target)


Affliction lost both siphon life and Immolate from the rotation as a means of simplifying the rotation. Even if Immolate was still in the rotation it would benefit from none of the affliction talents anymore as they all specifically say shadow over time/periodic spells.

Yes, Lathais, I read the updated patch notes but somehow I missed that one. I get a /facepalm for that.
I will thank Shoarmakip for his remark being more a polite nudge in the ribs. People will have "blonde" moments, and I am not immune, but I would rather read his remark than your condescending one anyday.

Nonetheless, thx for solving the "mystery", all )
