This may look like one of the falling meteors we witness before an infernal is summoned.

The heavens BURN!

I'm just personally really hoping that the sound effect they use is similiar to the Meteor spell used by Sorc's in the Diablo Series!

Holy crap. I might be going Demonology just for this spell

Why does Wowhead say this is for Warrior? For Pete's sake it's for Warlock! Got their wars wrong, they did.

I cannot fathom why this ability wasn't given to Fire Mages and simply called "Meteor" (and did fire damage of course). It's been suggested for well over 3 years -_-

this doesn't seem all that exciting to me?
whats so good about this?

now if it ignited immolate on the target or some sort of CC, id be down!

Kommentar von Lightgil

Im extremely excited about this spell... EXTREMELY EXCITED!
My demo lock already does the most aoe dps in raid above hunter and boomkins.
Managed to do 42k aoe dps my highest so far on those traps in plague wing.
Seeing how that was just with my pet, immo aura, rain of fire.... in demon form.
In cata I will probably be using... my felguard, immo aura, hand of gul'dan, hellfire, the 20% increase from demon form, and the 10% increase and 15% spell casting speed from demonic embrace or whatever....

O dear merciful god the dps... the glorious delicious beautiful dps....

....I cant wait...

Inferno + Hand of Gul´dan + Rain of Fire = SKY IS FALLING

The Hand of Gul'dan is a massive volcano west of the Black Temple in Shadowmoon Valley. It is named after Gul'dan, the warlock who aided Medivh in opening the Dark Portal. According to the Earthen Ring, this volcano was raised by Gul'dan himself when he severed the connection between the orcish people and the elemental spirits of Draenor, and dominates much of the landscape in the Valley.

- Source Wowwiki

Unlike the volcano, the graphic is purple fire.

Some notes about this spell, it hits incredibly hard. The 10% crit buff for your pet is worth the point on its own. Definately a great spell for the Demonology arsenal. Do note that the debuff lasts only 15 seconds and HoG cooldown is 12. If you count 2 second cast you will have to cast this the second it comes off cooldown to keep Immolate up. The spell also has a small travel time (from the sky to the target, maybe 1sec) so if you're off even just a fraction of a second you can miss the Immolation refresh. Haste helps of course.

I'm thinking Blizz will either change the cooldown of this spell, or cast time, or immolation duration soonish. Changing like 1 second on any of those durations can force us to either recast immolate every time it drops, or never having to refresh Immolate because of this spell. At the moment it is very latency-dependant wether the refresh hits on time or not, which is probably not what Blizzard wants. My early testing, at ~25% haste, excluding possibly a haste proc, I was able to refresh Immolate with HoG perhaps 60-70% of the time at crappy latency. This was while executing a normal rotation.

Edit: when Fel Fire comes to live it will change things around of course, might need to use that in the rotation to keep immolate up half the time, HoG the other half/.

Also I can't help noting the mana cost of this ability is actually quite low, only 7% of base mana, compared to Incinerate - 14% and Shadow Bolt - 10% of base mana.

hits like a truck, strongest hitting spell you will have besides soul fire+ decimation+ molten core
12 second cooldown

Kommentar von 195289

Look like Demonology won't need to use Immolate much after the first cast in a boss fight, much like Corruption for Affliction.

The embers left behind will obviously refresh Immolate. Immolate itself lasting 15 seconds, this spell having a 12 second cooldown and 3 second cast time (before haste) barely leaves room to cast before Immolate falls off.

However, the embers on the ground lasting 15 seconds means that if the boss takes just one tick and has Immolate refresh, it gives plenty of time to cast this spell and keep Immolate up.

Kommentar von Likkan

Now im disappointed..nobody mentioned it yett?

GET OUT OF THE FIRE!

~~Could be they havent sorted a balanced amout yett but the after-effect stays on 100 damaga from level 25 to 85.~~

They replaced the old effect with 10% crit but still aint a valid reason to stand in fire.

Kommentar von 645400

It will be a very nice spell for demo even if its just single target, and even if you somehow don't get a single tick for an immo refresh you just blast off a fel flame to increase immos duration for 6 seconds then cast hog(haha hog the new name for hand of gul'dan)

Kommentar von Maleficious

Base cast time was recently reduced from 3 seconds to 2 seconds making this spell much more attractive.

Kommentar von themguyman

does the damage scale with spellpower or anything

Kommentar von 426972

After having been completely owned by this spell in recent battlegrounds I can tell you that against a clothie - when your demon is felguard - this hits for about 12K-18K in 2 seconds tops. Well - the spell doesn't but that nifty little whirlwind crits a retarded amount

Kommentar von 148868

Seems to always hit with the direct damage part and the Foreboding aura's snare. I always hit a heroic training dummy (level 83) as a level 53 warlock.

The aura, though, can miss with the stun effect. It literally says "Hand of Gul'Dan's "Aura of Foreboding" misses <x>" and produces a "Your pet missed" effect.

Kommentar von 148868

Another thing:

HoG has a 12 sec. CD and a 2 sec. cast time. Immolate lasts for 15 seconds. So, essentially, the window for refreshing Immolate through Cremation is only 1 second long. Since Molten core no longer prolongs Immolate the whole refreshing thing becomes somewhat troublesome.

Kommentar von Maizou

Added an Image.

This thing hits like a Truck. XD It seems to be the Chaos Bolt of Demonology.

I'm getting 10k crits in the mid 70s in basic quest gear.

The animation is just awesome. METEOR OF DOOM! XD If I didn't want to annoy people, I'd be all "Carbuncle, Meteorite!" as a macro, :P

Also, the spell does not seem to be capable of missing with it's damage or the crit aura, as someone stated above.

Kommentar von 748840

I love this spell.

That is all.

Kommentar von Meggie

If this spell gets interrupted both your fire and shadow schools get locked out.

Kommentar von 49871

I've noticed something interesting about this spell... At least in terms of PvP.

I was dueling my friends 85 Rogue, and this spell never missed, even through Cloak of Shadows, it still hit every time.

Kommentar von Ganbantein

As of patch 4.0.6, when using this spell against a warrior with spell reflect up, it will not reflect the damage nor the root(if talented) upon the warlock. spell reflecting this spell just negates the whole thing. but this is still worth reflecting because it does a ton of damage

Kommentar von 325248

Anyone know if you can change the color of this spell? Ive seen a goblin warlock in a battleground the other day whose Hand of Gul´dan was red instead of the violet color

Kommentar von Emberlock

If u have some kind of "enrage" effect proc u might be able to change color

Some trinkets that granted attack power back in TBC and Wotlk used to change your body to red color and your attacks/spells were red aswell , its really hard to find similar one for spellcasters.

Kommentar von 838725

...causing all targets within it to have a 10% increased chance to be critically hit by any Warlock demons...

Has anyone tested if you gain the 10% crit chance when you are in Demon form?

Because technically, you are a warlock demon...

Kommentar von DarkAngel827

anyone know what the meteor is suppose to look like or is it just suppose to be a black rock? honest question

Kommentar von 981279

All the worry for refreshing the immolate duration via the Cremation talent is unnecessary. The perquisite talent to Cremation; Inferno, increases the duration of immolate by 6 seconds and therefore making the window of opportunity ample sized.

Kommentar von 985125

I just leveled at 40 and selected Hand of Gul'dan spell, I it shows on my talent tree with a point but does not go to my spell book so I can learn it. Is there some trick here I am missing? Very frustrating as everyone else seems to get it to work. I asked the GM but they said they don't give out hints. Any help is greatly appreciated!
