Why would you want to use this, instead of Shadow Bolt? Sure you could cast it twice in the same amount of time it takes to cast SB, but you'd end up doing roughly the same damage, right?


Or are there specific situations where SP actually proves to be valuable?

If forced toe to toe against dual-wield or multiple opponents, shadow bolt will be interrupted constantly because it takes so long.

I hardly ever use Shadow Bolt. It takes too long and often gets interrupted, making it take even longer. I only use SB if the target is immune to Searing Pain. I find Searing Pain to be a good alternative.

i object to you ^up there shadow bolt when you put alot of talents into it its like almost instant lol

well i don't have my tree in destruction, affliction is way better abd searing pain is an awesome ability. Its good in PvP and it really doesent generate that much of a threat.

Иссушение Боли - Причиняет жгучую боль вражеской цели, вызывая X к Ущербу от пожара Y. Вызывает количество Z угрозы.

well thats true but there is talents in destruction that if u max ou shadow bolt is basicly an instint and does 500 damage at rank 10
