Affliction maybe will be at demo ST level however AoE will be crap, or you can AoE but your ST wil lack, you pick. Meanwhile demo will do good on both, affli need to be much better in ST to be worth of playing, just saying.

Yeah Iām all for having options . And affliction still clearing around +25s which most people donāt even come close to . Iām sure itās not optimal but itāll always be my favorite spec . Really the point of this is even with destro needs weāre going to be okā¦. Demo is still good and affliction trying to claw out of the grave lol
Did the changes go live? I can see essence drain was implemented, the 5% damage buff presumably went live as well, however the Dark Pact Buff doesnāt seem to be functioning, or at the very least the tool tip is not correct. In Bgs it still shows 250% not 300%. Can anyone verify any of this?
Same here, soul leech still 8% (should be 12%) as well. I made a post in the bug forums:
I guessed as much. Hoping they hot fix it some time today, and that they didnāt have second thoughts about the changes and just didnāt update the patch notes.
can confirm that the spec still suck badly, too much effort for mediocre results!
Damn itā¦ 
My point exactly ā¦. What sucks is you have to choose between good single target or good aoe but I might mess around and go with it
Iāll save you all from watching it.
No, Affliction isnāt back. The 5% buff just made āworst DPS specā a conversation rather than a known fact.
