The best part about this trinket is its cooldown - 60 seconds. You can use it every other pull no problem.

Here's how the trinket works:

-Activate trinket
-1st spell: 0 bonus spell damage
-2nd spell: 40 bonus spell damage
-3rd spell: 80 bonus spell damage
-4th spell: 120 bonus spell damage
-5th spell: 160 bonus spell damage
-6th spell: 200 bonus spell damage
-Buff fades now or 20 seconds after activation, whichever is first.

Does this stack with other trinkets including ToEP or ZHC?

Yes, you can alternate between ZHC, ToEP, and this ToA -- but too bad you can't fire them off together... that would be some serious brain-ripping-face-melting fun in PvP.

The 60 sec cooldown is incredible since that means if you are on the ball you can be playing with this thing active damn near 1/3 of the time.

I reccomend using this with a threat meter since the damage can climb up very fast.

Do you really think it is worth being only Revered? I mean im revered right now and im just wondering... or should i just grind to 70 and get something much better...
I have my ZHC btw

I've been using this on my pally, I grinded for it before BC. Flash of light stacks it fast, throwing in a holy shock/exorcism/consecration for some damage. The only thing I don't like about it is clicking it every minute of battle, but oh well. It's a neat trinket.

No one mentions this as a healing trinket, why not?
Almost double the healing, you dont go around spamming as much heals in a controlled environment anyway and if you do it's good healing, what's not to like?

To the above pally: make a macro with flash of light and this trinket cast, voila, every use you can get out of it.

btw, i noticed this doesnt activate the cooldown of oshu gun relic, are there any other trinkets you can use it in concert with?

Assuming back to back spell casts of Frostbolt (2.5 seconds), trinket works as follows:

1 frostbolt - 0 damage
2 frostbolt - 40 damage
3 frostbolt - 80 damage
4 frostbolt - 120 damage
5 frostbolt - 160 damage
6 frostbolt - 200 damage

frostbolts 2-6 take 12.5 seconds to cast, with an average +spell damage of 120

12.5 seconds fits in 60 seconds (CD) 4 times

120 / 4 = 30 spell damage

Making it 1 spell damage better than Briarwood Reed or Power of the High Chief.

Many of the calculations assume that you're going to be dpsing or healing while the trinket is on cooldown.

Likely run-on sentence incoming:
If you're like me, you've picked this up, and only intend on dpsing while it is active (single target farming certain bosses where this cooldown will always be up by the time I dodge mobs to get to the next boss) it still is pretty sweet.

Anyone else notice that this is getting hardcore nerfed in wotlk? No increase in spellpower despite the complete dissappearance of 35 healing per stack.

omw to the suggestion forums...

Nobody has even mentioned my class of choice. Affliction Warlocks being LoadeD with instant cast goodies that benefit more from higher spell power than anything (+crit + hit etc) would love this. With a rotation available at 61 I'll let the mathmeticians out there add this up....

Haunt>>> 1.5 cast 600-700 damage + 20% increase to DoT's + a 100% from the damage you do
Unstable Affliction>>>1.5 cast 1150 damage over 15 sec
Siphon Life>>> GCD 80hp transfered from target to caster every 3 sec for 30 sec
Curse of Agony>>>>.GCD 1000 damage over 24 sec
Corruption>>> GCD 800 damage over 18 sec
Drain Life>>> channeled for 5 sec 71 tranfered from target to caster every sec for 5 sec (not counting talent points)

.......does not include Fel Armor or any +spell power from gear

p.s. Haunt is one of the coolest looking spells in the game imo. when it hits the target they appear to be engulfed with a large purple skull, if you haven't seen yet you'll like it when ya do :)
