Affliction Needs A Rework And It Should Be Based Around Legion Affliction

When was the last time you had fun playing Affliction lock? If you are like me probably during Legion.

Affliction should be reworked inspired from how Affliction was in Legion and building it up from there. We should also ditch Malefic Rapture.

I hate UA spamming just as much if not more than MR spamming… so no.

MoP aff is the goat imho even tho im not a fan of haunt pumping malefic grasp is INFINITELY better then rapture. but of course we have no option for that and then we still have BS soul rot like night fae is so DUMB yet they plague me 2 xpacs later necrolord was again better and more fun then stupid night fae garbage

Why? Malefic Rapture is one of the more unique spells in the game. Also why would you want to give up a spell with 100yd range?

boring, unfun to play, not very thematic

take ur pick

Pretty subjective

Very subjective. Dare i say objectively wrong

Purging the souls around you like a wanton and horrific lich or reaper as they attempt to run away from you but there’s no escape from the horror. All the while your foul magic withers their life force away from their body…it doesn’t get more Affliction than that.

MoP aff was pretty solid but we can’t go back to that since the game is just different now. They couldn’t handle balancing DoTs.

to bad you put more effort into that comment then blizzard did the ability or any of its animations or art for it. far and away my least favorite warlock anything. did it even try?

Well I hope with your return you warm up to aff, i think it’s come a long way and has much needed flavor that was absent for it in BFA and shadowlands

I think soul harvester might interest you since the spec feels powerful outside of malefic rapture windows

Hopefully someday they can add an effect on the targets being raptured that is reminiscent to their souls flickering as they are being partially torn from their body. Maybe something similar to how the demon for Soul Harvester temporarily erupys out of you at times, but smaller and it mirrors the character model. (Hey blizz at least credit me before you eventually steal this idea, thanks)

i already want a shotgun tonsillectomy from coming back to this damn game cant have malevolence and darkglare in a macro liek i just want someone that plays warlock to be in charge of changes and design of warlock

i also despise with my entire being the fact that night fall procs have a nice UI element but crescendo doesnt

Because spamming an ability to dump our shards is grating gameplay and renders our class highly susceptible to mobility mechanics damaging our DPS?
And everything is subjective, so please don’t bother pointing that out as a counter argument.
