Just look at your damage when hero is popped at the beginning of the fight. When we pop hero at the beginning of the fight i am top 3 dps. Then i fall and fall and fall and fall and finish in the bottom. No doubt with 2+ PI i would remain close to the top. All 3 specs are highly dependent on haste and without corruption we simply can’t get enough of it to feel good outside of mythic+ with the “corruption like” NF legendary. I get to over 100% haste when i use SR in mythic+ as affliction and my dps skyrocket. But that’s going to be nerfed in 9.2 absolutely no doubt so affliction will revert to being useless in all content.
I understand they are afraid warlock will become too good with scaling as the expansion goes on if they buff them too much now but that’s a terrible design. You can’t design a class so it will **** for 2/3 of an expansion cause it scale too well with haste. That’s even beyond terrible design it’s a failure of epic proportion from a developer who really is not even a shadow of what it used to be couple of years ago. There’s locks in logs with 6 PI in a single fight and they can’t even get in the top 10 … that’s something.
