  I am using Hand of Blight almost all the time at-will and undecided about my secondary at-will. And I have to decide which artifact weapon shall I craft!
  
  Eldritch Blast: very first pass
  -not necrotic
  
  Dark Spiral Aura:
  +necrotic
  +good finisher on low HP mobs if everything is on cooldown
  -is this AP gain buff even working or its just boost the AP gain of the at-will itself?
  I see an icon flashing up when I use it but it doesn't last.
  
  Hellish Rebuke:
  -not necrotic
  + ?
  
  Statwise and dps wise the Hand of Blight artifact isn't so good. Still its a nice defensive debuff.
  Hubris of the Golden Dragon makes Dark Spiral Aura more usable! And statwise its much better.
  Still I don't think I will use anything else but Hand of Blight with some rare exception(finishing something) so why not Golden Dragon's Pride?
  
  Can someone help me please!

  
  I use the Hand of Blight artifact, but I think I would also like the Hellish Rebuke one. I use both At wills consistantly, but i htink hellish Rebuke would make a lot of sense for PVE and PVP

  Hi,
  
  I use the Hubris, the stats suit my build better and the Dark Spiral isn't bad either. You won't be spamming it, but for example I can do 25-30k on a regular basis with DS and 45-50k on Tiamat.
  
  I think that at some point, fitting your game style brings more dps than a certain build, because it'll be natural for you to use those rotations, and maybe using another one's build will make you stiffer or less aware if you're constantly checking cooldowns, etc.

  I use the Dark Spiral Aura, mainly because it's the first one i've found. The AP gain is for real, and the main reason i use it. Plus necrotic, plus it's good to use to finish off mobs.

  So do you prefer Hellish Rebuke over Dark Spiral Aura despite its not necrotic?

  Our At-Wills doesn't deal much dmg and that necrotic dmg is overrated due to the CD mechanic, you have to take a look to the situations, i.e using TT which is one of our highest sources of dmg, when you use Hellish Rebuke in your enemies (specially those in which you will apply the TT Curse) you will deal much more damage overall than using necrotic based At-Wills. Dark Spiral will let you hit the main target once (fully charged or nothing), Hand of Blight you have to be in melee range otherwise at distance it's very slow and useless so the real good thing about HR is that you cast it and don't need to spam allowing you to focus in your encounters while TT is up. Now against a boss, let's take a Tiamat's head i.e, you can be in melee range, you will receive dmg sometimes (keeping HR up) and attack continuously the head with Hand of Blight while your encounters are off.
  
  Your best combo being a Fury Warlock, it's Hand of Blight + Hellish Rebuke, HoB's weapon is good for PvP (mainly due to the stats) but useless in PvE because we don't need to reduce the dmg done by our enemies while a 15% extra dmg for HR is a good boost.

  it would be s great benefit if they would have created the mainhand like the offhand, changing the extra if wanted, i took eldrichs blast and really wanted to go for hand of blight (PVP) but ---> too much rp farming
