Tooltips don't lie, people just misinterpret them. The imp's Firebolt can be shortened under 1.5 sec, but his GCD cannot. Unfortunately, there is no tooltip that accurately shows GCD if you're past...

Despite what the tooltip tells you, Shadow Bolt does more damage. The reason your Incinerates have higher damage per cast is likely because of MC procs buffing them by 18%. I had wondered this myself...

There is no longer any need to spam Demonic Empowerment in PvE because it doesn't provide a dps increase, in fact it's arguably not worth speccing into. On fights like Putricide it's sometimes better...

It stacks 3 times to a total of 15%, but since it's an "extra damage received" debuff on the target, it will update on the fly similar to the Haunt debuff.
