Making Windbite a 36 second DoT that does 660 potency is overpowered. Moreso since with how DoTs and Snapshotting works, you could have over 80% uptime for JUST Internal Release. Besides, you save more TP and do more damage by refreshing with Iron jaws for just Venomous Bite instead of doing what you suggested.

Personally it's fine as is. It makes the rotation simple since you usually do Straight Shot > Iron Jaws or the other way around, assuming Straight Shot procs don't get in the way.

With the Class System changes in 4.0 this could be a reality.

Agree.

This doesn't stop someone from just using Rain of Death on a single target for Flaming Arrow to trigger. And if the goal is to make it ONLY usable in AoE why not just give Rain of Death a bit more potency to match what Flaming Arrow would contribute? You're also forgetting that Rain of Death also has the Evasion Down debuff, which lowers the accuracy needed to hit the target, making it great for Healers who prefer Crit/Det melds over Acc. Rain of Death having both feels too powerful.




Also what is with this post being Necro Bumped so often?
