Is it safe to assume that you are able to achieve these numbers because of gear specifically found in Wrath of the Lich King ? Immolate. My issue as an affy lock with Immolate has always been that it raises threat significantly more than any of my other dots including UA. Is there a site than shows how much threat spells generate ? During smaller 10-man raids I have pulled aggro when Ive included immolate. I couldn't tell from the video, were you using soul shatter regularly during that fight. Ive never fought Brutallus, ina normal raid against him is it unlikely that a lock would ever pull aggro. Perhaps thats the crux of the issue. People like to play one way and not have to switch it up. If Im grinding or doing 5-10 man raids, I really dont feel comfortable including immolate because Ill pull aggro. Whereas in larger company this is such a non-issue that I should be immolating & conflagrating regularly. Thanks for any input
