Why Soul Shards?

i barely understood a word of that... after reading 3 times through.
DS isn't used for dps when you're destruction. that's fine, cast it when the mob is so close to death that you won't get a single tick of DS and there's no loss.
if every mob's death granted a soul shard then what's the point in the system?
what description? what spell? i have no idea what you're saying here.
i assume that english is not your first language and that's fine but please take time to make sure you can be understood.

Sorry to rain on your parade. Pre wotlk hunters were the only class who had to travel to get their arrows, if they wanted the best. Today they dont need to, we have to spend atleast 20mins or more gathering these to make up a whole bag. I dont mind as I make gold/mats. However shards cant be purchased and dont stack.
Since when did they stop drain soul being used in a raid environment?

now now, let's not descend into insults. that wasn't what i intended.
if english
is
your first language then i meant no insult i'm only looking for clarity.
i've been playing for a long time in fact and the only change to DS's description i can remember is the recent change which adds damage after 25% mob health. what description change are you referring to?

The description of drain soul has been altered since warcraft first release
i don't remember any change. how about, instead of making vague statements, you say what that change was and what your problem with the change is.
edit: i've had a look through old patch notes to see if i could find a change that i hadn't remembered and i can't find anything. i don't know how this discussion moved in this direction (i think you said something incomprehensible then wouldn't shut up about it) but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
there isn't a problem with a destro lock using DS. stop trying to make one.

To clarify what I was saying on my destro build was personally I two-shot everything if I crit.
Then simply cast DS to finish a few of the mobs that you don't two-shot with crits.
You shouldn't be wasting shards to Shadowburn trash, so not getting two shards in that situation won't be an issue.

You must not have played the game since release. Im not saying that in those days you could cast and get a shard from greys though I believe there was bugs which did.
However the wording of that spell has been changed from its release this is fact. This change occured the same time the patch that disallowed you to make two shards while having the shadowburn debuff on target! Wether or not the oldest patch notes have included this god knows.
i was playing when patch 1.10 hit. this was the one that prevented getting 2 shards from one mob and that was clearly an exploit. i don't remember any change to the spell's description at that time but they may have done...
...the thing is, who cares?
what does it matter if they changed the tooltip? what does it matter what this game was like at launch? you're not a special snowflake if you played at launch, especially if it makes you worse at playing the current game (which is what appears to have occurred here).
if you 2 shot things (presumably with incinerate) then, as you complete the cast of the second incinerate, start spamming your DS button. since DS is instant cast it will be on the mob before the nuke lands. in fact, i always found this method of farming shards much easier than when playing affliction.
it's such a ridiculous point to have an argument about and getting insulting with people who are trying to have a civilised discussion is irksome to say the least.
i want to quote 2 things:
As you cannot write english I would think carefully about who you lecture on it.
All my intended post was, was life easier as some many of the threads were saying
i realise this is petty but i must admit that my hackles have been raised a little ^^
