This is what Claw turns into when a death knight's Ghoul is under the effects of Dark Transformation. A DK's mini-cleave, makes Dark Transformation almost always worth hitting.
Unless Blood Beasts, Shadow Nuclei, or any adds *at all* just popped up, then it might be troublesome.

It sounds like you're suggesting it's not worth it without the cleave? I think the fact that your pet is your highest amount of Unholy damage and Dark Transformation increases it by 100% - makes it worth hitting. =S

I'm pasting it here as they typically delete the beta forums after release.
Sweeping Claws will be an 8yd frontal cone in the next next build. Vile Gas will be a 10yd AoE. That’s still a fine difference between them.
That is every comment on this page.
