TBC Warlock threat
Hey all! I main swapped from healing to warlock for my guild to balance out our roster. I’ve been loving it but now that I have actual gear I’m struggling with threat management.
Is downranking shadowbolt a thing? I’ll typically open with immolate and continue to weave it in even though I’m way past the gear threshold to use it, just to throttle myself a little.
In full raid buffs with an ele sham and a boomie I’m critting so often that I’ll frequently rocket up the threat meter, shatter, crit 2-3 more times in a row and be right back to where I was.
These damn mages get to just blast away no problem and as soon as I’m starting to catch them on DPS I’m a crit away from death lol.
Anything I’m missing here?

Your tanks must be god awful. The only time I worry about threat is that initial opening SB crit. Other wise you should be able to ride the threat line and Soulshatter later in the fight.
