Good against Priest, Pala, Lock.

Commento di 7304

Great against casters that can dispel, and just about anyone really. Watch out for ice mages though, they can Ice Block it off without getting hurt.

Commento di 14206

The damage caused by dispelling is capable of of a critical hit

Also rogues' have cloak of shadows now that will dispell this effect without taking damage as well.

Felhunters seem to be able to dispel this without being penalized. In any case, even if they did take the damage/silence, it would be worth it.

Edit: this is fixed now. :)

Some raiders (such as myself) believe that UA is superior to ruin in DPS.

I have seen the dispelling effect of UA crit for over 8k. It's a warlocks best friend in arenas.

this is a MUST HAVE spell at lv 70 dont get it untill than

Commento di 60203

It would be nice if UA would proc if it gets dispelled OR removed,but in doing so also cancels any affect and backfires it.Like if a mage ice blocks,BOOM,does damage,silences,and isnt iceblocked.Same with paladin bubble,or CloS. You may think of it overpowered but lets hope theres an "Improved UA" talent waiting for us in the next expansion that does this! We need something like this!

18 seconds is alot for just 1050 damage.It is true you can push up that number to 1800 with spell damage ,but the chances to see the full effect on trash mobs is very unlikely.On the other hand if you specc Ruin,you will find out it is based on luck ,it may proc it may not dpeneding on your crit rate ,However there are many situations where you wished that 1000 damage could had landed on the boss to kill it before you wipe at 1%...ruin could help you with this....and ruin doesn't cost mana.

people are forgetting that Unstable Affliction cost 400 mana,,,this is like 1 and half shadow bolt with ruin of course.

Commento di frmorrison

Of course this is a great PvE/PvP extra DoT along with dispel "protection" which works great when teamed with a Shadow Priest.

one time i was bored:D so i tried to crit UA on a pally in IF. out of about 20 tries it finally crit but only for 5.9k the normal hits were 4k. at that time i had about 600 spell damage><

My main is a 70 undead priest. I just tested Dispel Magic mechanics with this spell. I know Dispel Magic dispels two magic effects from my target. It seems Unstable Affliction either has a higher dispel priority than other magic effects or the cast order is reset after each Dispel Magic. My proof is the following.

An affliction warlock started attacking me by casting Unstable Affliction first, Immolate second, Corruption third, Shadow Embrace fourth, Curse of Agony fifth (known by reading my combat log). I was testing dispel priority, so I self-cast Dispel Magic. As I suspected would happen, the Unstable Affliction was dispelled and I took roughly 3300 damage. My Dispel Magic also dispelled Immolate, the second DoT cast. The warlock then cast Siphon Life, then Unstable Affliction again. I cast Dispel Magic again, and to my surprise, it dispelled Siphon Life and Unstable Affliction, killing me. I thought it would dispel Corruption and Shadow Embrace, due to the original cast order.

So, which is it? Does Dispel Magic prioritize Siphon Life and Unstable Affliction over Corruption and Shadow Embrace, or is the cast order reset after each Dispel Magic? If anyone knows, please inform the community here, as this is a common place for priests and warlocks to look for this information. I'll be doing my own research in the mean time.

Commento di Priderage

I -believe- that the damage done by the dispel mechanic is equal to 1.5x the damage done if the spell had run it's full duration.

Example:
3000 damage from UA's DoT.
4500 damage from being dispelled.
7000 damage from a crit-dispel.

I've seen the spell crit for larger than 7000 (about 1000 above that number) but I believe this can still be feasible.

Would a priest take heavy damage/instantly die from mass dispelling multiple instances of UA?

Commento di Sherkrieg

Ok, I have been reading all your crazy comments on UA and at the end of the day I think anyone who gives this the thumbs up for PvE seriously needs to consider things.

In my guild I used to be affliction specc for pve, and i found another lock there was 21/40 and ALWAYS came top on dps, (We had very similar gear) and I was about 7th...

After trying out Ruin I found it absolutely amazing. Didn't have to be Black Temple... Always top of dmg in any instance..
DoTs are a lot of little numbers, which cannot crit, so you have a fixed dps, however with crits, I can sometimes pop a 6-8k crit on a raid boss, Thats the equivelant of about 25 DoT ticks... For just 2.5seconds, not to mention you do not go oom 'cause Soul Leech can heal the damage taken from Life Tap.

So if you find yourself with low PvE dps and your Aff - 0/21/40 for life lads. Best move you will ever make (Apart from quitting WoW :D) ^^

--On top of that SL/SL for pvp... God..

Commento di bensam123

Does anyone know if the cleansed affect also gains damage from +spell?

Normally it would do less damage if you let it tic away, but if the person has a lot of spell damage is it better off just to cleanse it right away rather then letting it tic away?

Commento di 120774

So, Is this talent nerfed? I know that pallies and mages (I think) are immune to the despell effect for some ^&*!ed up reason.

Commento di Thottbot

i got hit ~3500 when i dispelled this in EotS

Commento di Thottbot

this is how i do when i grind, send pet in, UA corrution CoA and then siphon life, after that i liftap and drain life. when this is done the mob should be atleast lower than 30% hp, then just throw a drain soul and u got full hp and mana, and the mob is dead. i use drain soul even if i dont want soulshards, you get 15% mana back, and if u dont want the soulshard. just throw it out? isn't hard. i could grind for hours without drinking or eating. and they die pretty quick

Commento di Thottbot

im just wondering if another warlock put this on me would the felhunters eat magic ability take it of and not set of the after affect even though i wouldnt care if i was a warlock and my pet took the damage plz post commet

Commento di Thottbot

I saw this spell critt when a priest dispelled it on himself lol XD it critted for 7423 :) And I wasn't the one who critted, it was an guildie who stood beside me :p

Commento di Thottbot

Basically, to spell it out plain and simple, this is a good kick ass PvP skill. Otherwise if youre mobbing or questing, or even instancing where most bosses dont dispel this move can be a bit useless. It does have great potential in PvP, but otherwise you could easily use agony to accomplish almost the same thing.

Commento di Thottbot

lmao im a noob at this stuff but this spell is prolly one of the more use full ones am i right.

Commento di Thottbot

Pre tbc, affliction locks hated to get dispelled, and now may of them WANTS to get dispelled, pretty funny imo ; )

Commento di Thottbot

Let's say the warlock's target got the unstable affliction on him. If the target's paladin friend uses divine shield and dispell it what is going to happen ?

Commento di Thottbot

lol in av 1 day... i got the crazy idea "imma go dispell this cuz im outta mana and it will hopefully kill me :)"

it killed me... but i was suprised by the dmg it did. ive dispelled UA (yes yes i know what it does if you dispell it) and it usually has done around 3k. BUT i dispell it and i get crit for 6.5K!1111!111!11!

dispelling UA > POM pyroblast

Commento di Thottbot

As with all warlock DoTs, it has better DPCT than nukes at any *realistic* level of gearing. In PvE, until 40% crit, (well this assumes perfect rotations I suspect) it will do more for DPS than ruin.

In Pve, destro and affliction go well together as one gives you hefty DoTs, and one buffs the spells you spam while they are up (bane and isb are MUST HAVEs for any serious raiding lock). It's rarely about the tree but the talents you pick within in... At least with warlocks.

Corruption is a far better DoT, empowered corruption, instant cast, and +5% damage from contagion means it is your nastiest weapon, curse of doom aside (both UA and this get shadow mastery's benifits though), and even unbuffed is a staple of any lock ever. UA is just another DoT. But then another DoT is a good thing...

This spell is everything a good affliction lock is, unspectacular but it delivers the goods in fantastic style when the bosses are around. Mediocre on trash and fast burst scenarios though. For the destro versus affliction debate, it all depends on the level of gearing. Destro is better burst DPS and at T5+ gear starts to benifit from the itemisation, affliction is never weak but shines brightest till you have SSC and TK on farm.
