Affects Spell fire immolation [Immolate], Spell shadow shadowbolt [Shadow Bolt], Ability warlock chaosbolt [Chaos Bolt]

Bane is a Tier 1 Destruction warlock talent that reduces the casting time of key damage spells in the Destruction tree: Spell fire immolation [Immolate], Spell shadow shadowbolt [Shadow Bolt] and Ability warlock chaosbolt [Chaos Bolt].

Notes[]

At max rank, Immolate's base cast time will be 1.5 sec, Chaos Bolt will be 2 sec, and Shadow Bolt will be 2.5 sec.

This talent is a nice boost to Immolate and Chaos Bolt, but has a much greater effect on Shadow Bolt. It works out to slightly more than 20% increase in DPS when spamming Shadow Bolts.
