• [Soulburn: Curse] ( affliction spec ability)
• [Cursed Auras] ( demonology spec ability)
• [Fire and Brimstone] ( destruction spec ability)

Notes

• The long duration of the curse means that less time is wasted applying and re-applying curses and thus there is more time to focus on the casting of direct damage spells.
• Even more useful if you have in your party mages, boomkins, and/or shadow priests.
