I love the Banish change. Finally, it works as one might rationally expect.

It used to work this way till late into BC.

Im glad they are changing it back.

3 min SoulShatter... I cant even begin to mention how great that is.

From what I recall, it was a "bug" that got added in one of the 2.0.x patches and was reverted somewhere around the time we were busting through Karazhan. No more whaling on "immune" mobs waiting for that timer to tick down. Unless of course the Warlock dies beforehand. (Bad 'lock!)

this seems like a very very very big buff for destro, making crit very valuable. it also helps when your imp doesn't die.

That might be a big buff gnomer, but this:

Fire and Brimstone: Reduced to 2/4/6/8/10% increased damage from Incinerate and Chaos Bolt on targets afflicted with Immolate, down from 3/6/9/12/15%.

Is a huge nerf. I am not sure how these two will wash out against each other. Guess we will have to wait and see.

5% less damage on 2 of your main spells.... turns into about a 3% (tops) damage reduction. (like destro isn't op) the imp buff is going to get you ~5% more crit (effectivly) it depends how much crit is worth to you.

its not as good as haste or spell power as far as weights are concerned, i stack haste gems instead of crit. We will see how it washes out.
