phetus Character Info Phetus 80 Gnome Warlock Darkmoon Fare Euro RP Guild: Malevolence	Death's Embrace-What is the damage bonus? There seems to be 2 different descriptions of this spell! On the WoW armoury it states that it increases critical strike chance of shadow spells by 15% and thottbot, wowwiki and wowhead all state that it is a 15% increase in shadow damage! This will make a big difference in improved drain soul and may mean that SB is still the filler when the mob is below 20% health. Any thoughts or definite answers which is the correct version of the spell, logically it would be the official one but you can never tell with blizzard

Re: Death's Embrace-What is the damage bonus?

the version datamined off the client on mmo-champion also states

Quote:

Increases the amount drained by your Drain Life by 10/20/30% while your health is at or below 20% health, and increases the damage done by your Shadow spells by 4/8/12% when your target is at or below 35% health.

It isnt the first time that tooltips are wrong...

Elbuats Character Info Elbuats 80 Orc Warlock Gurubashi US PvP Guild: Adams Road Gang Profile: Blizzard Armory	Re: Death's Embrace-What is the damage bonus? yeah, I just noticed on the official world of warcraft talent trees, Death's Embrace gives a critical strike bonus instead of a damage bonus?? Is this a change they made and didn't mention? Or something we've had wrong since the very beginning...because, quite honestly, with DS execute, a bonus to critical strike when under 20% is completely useless, since DS doesn't crit. I mean, I guess this a deep affliction PvP talent now? I'm so confused, blizzard! __________________ "It was a trap, sir! There were TWO warlocks!"
