Soul Fire is a mana efficient, high damage direct damage Demonology warlock Fire spell with a long cast time.
Improvements
[7-30] Decimation will lower the cast time and mana cost of the next Soul Fire by 50% Shadowbolt or Soul Fire at a target that is at or below 25% health.
Tips and tactics
It is best used as your initial attack for pulling due to its long cast time. In this sense it is similar to the Mage's [Pyroblast] ability.
This skill is generally one of the warlock's most mana-efficient spells.
For targets under 25% health, [7-30] Decimation allows Soul Fire to be cast faster. This passive makes Soul Fire similar to a warrior's [Execute].
The long cast time makes it harder to use in PvP as the time spent casting it is time gained for an enemy player to tear you to pieces.
Notes
- Commonly misspelled Soulfire by Blizzard.
- Soulfire is a basic Warlock spell in Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft. The flavor text reads: "Are you lighting a soul on fire? Or burning someone with your OWN soul? This seems like an important distinction."
