Change to Shadowflame in 3.2 PTR notes

This bit of news from the PTR caught by Misty. Full patch notes available here

Shadowflame: The angle of the cone effect on this ability was inadvertently very small, making it difficult to use. Its cone is now the same size as similar spells, such as Cone of Cold.

That makes a lot of sense. I'd often Shadowflame several mobs in front of me, and find that only one or two actually got hit by it. I'm glad they're fixing that.

Re: Change to Shadowflame in 3.2 PTR notes

Meh, still not putting it on my action bars. Almost useless spell that's only good for farming lower level instances. It's in need of a serious re-working much like Conflag and Soul Fire were until 3.1. Add a knockback effect and we're in business

I take it you don't PVP much do you?

Shadowflame has its uses; two ways to apply a snare/daze (Conflag, glyph), also a good way to DoT a rogue or two at the same as applying the before mentioned snares, (usually causing them to CoS).

I am looking forward to the fix! (I wonder why they will 'hotfix' a spell in 24 hours when it is arguably OP, like Conflag, but when we have something legitimately broken, such as Shadowflame, it takes months and months to get it fixed...)

In the world ov PvE yea it is almost useless.. But in the PvP world I don't leave home with out it. Do a few arenas or BG's and you will learn it helps ALOT.
