Notes
This talent plays an important part in the spell rotation of high-level Affliction warlocks. By beginning the attack with a [Shadow Bolt] and a Haunt the warlock can apply two layers of Shadow Embrace on the target, increasing the damage of subsequent Shadow DoT spells until the effect wears off.
