When Using NightfallFollow

#1 Apr 26 2007 at 7:42 AM Rating: Decent
Ok I know you go into a shadow trance or something like that but do you setup a macro or something so you know when to launch the shadowbolt?

Sorry for he stupid question hehehe, just figured I must be doing something wrong as I respected to Affliction a few days ago & yet to see this happen while out hunting.

thanks in advanced

There will be a certain sound that lets you know that it procced, and there will be a buff icon flashing so you know how much time you have to cast SB before it runs out.

Dark

P.s just keep SB handy on your bar..I've never missed a cast I didn't want to.

seems to happen to me right as the mob dies, and the trance doesn't last long enough to get to the next mob which sux!! Its only 4% chance remeber so 1 out of 20 mobs is a good estimate

4% per tick. So if you got Corruption and drain life going, you have a 4% chance on every tick of both of those spells. There are times I get it on every fight, but in general off the top of my head, I get a NF about every 3rd fight.

Sometimes I get a NF to go off twice on the same mob. Then I feel bad for the poor little guy, doesn't have a chance against a multiple NF proc.

I used to miss a lot of NF procs when I was in the heat of battle, so I decided to download an addon to help me with that.

I got me WarlockAlert, which makes a sound as well as flashing a little color on the border on the edges of the screen while the buff lasts, never missed a handy NF proc since.

Oh, and take heed to the advice and keep Shadowbolt key-binded somewhere easily accesible.

If you use the mod Scrolling Combat Text (a very good mod), one of the things that shows up is buffs/debuffs. Have buffs show up in a very attention-getting fashion in the middle of your screen (I use bright pink "sticky crits" myself :P ) makes it hard for you to notice.

Gonna have to excuse my ignorance as I am not sure, but isn't there an effect that shows up on the screen that surrounds your character that looks somewhat like flakes that lets you know to shoot off instant cast on shadowbolt?

Yes, there is a faint cloud of black snowflake/star type figures, but they are less noticable than the sound and flashing buff by your minimap, IMHO.

i got hooked on necrossis for nightfall. sure nargie may sparkle a pretty lil bit, but usualy my eyes are not watching me, but scaning the area for my next target. I also do not activly watch my buff/debuff bar. yet there is no missing "SHADOWTANCE!!!!!!" bellowing out of my speakers.

Indeed, Necrosis was pure awesome for the "Shadow Trance!" alert alone.

The voice, it's so.. demonic.

ive grown used to the sound, and never miss an insta sb if i need it. but i always get disappointed when i use shadow ward, cause it has the same sound, but no nightfall for me to use on w/e needs to die :-(

actually, the most fun is when backlash and nightfall proc back-to-back during pvp. it's even better if one crits. i chuckle every time it happens.

k. 4% chance off every corruption / drain life tick

so in 1 full corruption duration (5 ticks, presuming it doesn't proc) that

first tick: 24/25
2nd 24/25 x 24/25

etc..

there's a 0.815% chance to not get a proc in a full corruption duration, so a 18.5% chance for it to proc. there's the same % chance for a full drain life too.
