• Improved Searing Pain, Aftermath, Cataclysm, Demonic Sacrifice (Imp), Devastation, Destructive Reach, Emberstorm, Master Demonologist (Succubus), Ruin

Notes

• It causes 100% extra threat.

Tips and Tactics

• In PvP, players may favor it over Shadow Bolt due to its low casting time and thus opportunistic nature against moving targets. It also doesn't leave a telltale trail that gives away the caster's location.
• In PvE, the spell has limited uses due to its extra threat. However, the ability to draw hate from a mob may be useful if you are trying to distract the mob from your pet or another player. Against certain fights (See: Shade of Aran) where DPS and survivability are needed, and there is no set threat table, this spell also works well.
