Yeah I said that.

My point is that if you haunt first, how long does it take to all of your dots ticking on that target after you've thrown Haunt? They won't get the bonus untill they're actually ON the target. By throwing Haunt later, DoTs will be affected instantly, and you don't have to waste any time casting spells to get the bonus. Also by throwing haunt later, you are actually extending the duration of your first corruption because of Everlasting affliction.

The only positive thing about casting Haunt first is the fact that it causes the Shadow Embrace effect. Other than that, I can't see a reason to do it.
