'''Immolate''' is a [[warlock]] [[Hybrid Spells|hybrid spell]] spell that deals both [[direct damage]] and [[damage over time]], with an emphasis on the latter. It is one of the common DoTs warlocks often place of their targets.
 
 
This spell is the quintessential cornerstone of the Destruction tree. It increases the damage of your [[Chaos Bolt]] and [[Incinerate]] spells by a substantial margin, and is one of the spells that gives you access to casting [[Conflagrate]].

== Notes ==
 
The Destruction talent spell [[Conflagrate]] needs an active Immolate DoT on the target in order to work. Once cast, the spell will consume the Immolate, thus it's advantageous to wait until Immolate has almost finished dealing all its damage before casting Conflagrate.
 
 
== Talent improvement ==
 
[[Improved Immolate]] will increase the initial direct damage of your Immolate spell by 25% at max rank.
 
 
[[Bane]] will lower the cast time of Immolate by up to .5 seconds at max rank. Talents like [[Emberstorm]] at max rank will increase the amount of fire spell damage that applies to the spell by 10%.
 
 
Immolate is a [[Destruction]] spell, and thus gains the benefits of [[Cataclysm]], [[Aftermath]], [[Devastation]], [[Intensity]], [[Destructive Reach]], and [[Ruin]].
 
 
== Tips and tactics ==
 
When tanking [[mob]]s with your pet (either [[Voidwalker (Warlock pet)|Voidwalker]] or [[Felguard (Warlock pet)|Felguard]]), save casting Immolate until the end of your DoT rotation. Not only does it have the shortest duration, but as it deals initial damage, it generates the most [[threat]] and could possibly [[pull]] the mob to you.
 
 
However, there is an exception to the above tactic. ''If'' the Warlock is soloing, ''and'', the tactic is that of a [[Warlock Tank]] ''and'' the Warlock is expecting a long fight, casting Immolate to start the fight may be beneficial for two reasons. First, the Warlock avoids potential interruption of the 2 sec. cast time when offering an opening Immolate. Secondly, if the fight is expected to be in the 25-35 sec. range, a second Immolate can be cast, maximizing the likelihood of conducting a mana-efficient battle (2.12 dmg. per mana at max rank)
 
 
== Patch changes ==
 
* {{Patched|date=2009-04-15|bluenote=We have hotfixed the damage of the Warlock spell Conflagrate from 100% to 70% of [[Immolate|Immolate's]] total periodic damage instantly. The tooltip may still show 100% until a future update though. <ref name="Bornakk">{{ref web
