…you realize affliction was a thing before death knights were added right?
Yeah I do, I mean the first DK as I read it, where undead Warlock put in Knights dead bodies! Oh I love this lore! SO wish we could lean more into this theme or at least have the option!
Oh I see what you mean! Many people always point to meta being stolen for demo, but I’d also argue that a portion of affliction’s design space was taken when unholy was created as well.
I’ve been working on a affliction rework concept over the holidays during slow times at work. I hope to finish it up in the next few days and am interested in what Phoenickz thinks(many of the shared “back to basics” philosophy)

Lol its ok, sorry maybe I should not bring lore here in Class discussion and I totally agree with you on that with DK.
It be great to read your feedback on it when you finish the rework concept!
Going back to basics is okay to a point, but don’t simplify the spec to much. so many want them down to as few buttons and less action making them boring…
i personally love the current affliction because its constant action. i’m either refreshing, casting MR, casting DS, planning cd’s. i’m never bored watching dots tick. it has potential as is just need some tuning and minor reworks to make stuff more comfortable.
I really wish there was a way to improve Soul Flame talent, maybe turning it in to a DoT for does hit who are alive or even leave the dead bodies burning and the Demonflame DoT could be contagious!
Can you imagine in PvP people running to not get the flame jump on them or run away from the down bodies with flame on them!
Oh I feel like Lilian Voss in that old quest in Forsaken territory that old Sylvi gave to us… players would know a Affliction Warlock was about when they see the bodies burning in Purple flame!
Sigh, maybe my friends are right it be to OP even if it was fun… Oh well one can dream! 
Soul Flame half the time feels bugged for me and there is definitely some wonky stuff going on with it.
I know on the warlock discord someone was saying the Affliction Artifact weapon was causing issues with hitting the soft target cap and posted logs proving it but I never bothered to test in game.
Tool tip is also still reflecting the wrong damage.
Really? I never notice that as it seem to work fine to me… and I always use Artifact weapon…
Hmmm, I have to keep an eye on that and if I see it create a detail bug report so at least it can get a look at…specially if its been constantly been reported.
I do hope its not in the 104,435 queue of bug cases to be fix in the teams working logs! I like Soul Flame…
