Bonus 2: Increases all fire damage you deal by X%. Each point of Mastery increases fire damage by an additional Y%.

Emarisea Character Info Fairness 85 Goblin Warlock Frostmourne Oceania PvP Talent Tree: Affliction	Re: 4.0.1 Warlock Changes Compilation Awesome compilation Falcrist. So much to do..and i just dont think I'll be ready to raid on Wed. But this helps tremendously. If someone could just give me a quick reply about Backdraft, it'd be appreciated. Does it still only effect the next 3 casts? Or does it effect all casts during the duration? And with the glyph of Conflag, now the cd is down to 8 secs?

Teon	Re: 4.0.1 Warlock Changes Compilation Stamina is correct. Considering most end-game pieces of gear will have over 300 stamina, it's meant to be a buff worth while.
