Affliction rework

What do you guys think about instead of malefic rapture have a ability you can spam but increases all ur diseases damage of time by a percentage with each cast?

With the upcoming dread touch change, this is what Malefic Rapture will essentially do. Affliction doesn’t need a full rework, just a few fine touches. Like removing/merging siphon life with corruption.

I think MR once MA is removed will be ok. Not great but your proposal sounds a little clunky and super punishing.

Agreed with Zacharael.

Consolidated SL and Corruption into one talent or remove SL from the choice node. The alternative to SL should not be perma corruption because it adds two DoTs to manage with one choice node.

They also need to consolidate Haunt into UA. Why do we need two priority target mechanics?

Finally, Seeds needs to be baselined. This is a change that needs to occur globally across every spec in the game. Your very basic AOE spell should not be on a talent tree. It should be baselined.
We’re seeing it happen with Mage right now on the PTR.

When two of these three changes are fulfilled I’ll come back to Affliction. But as it stands I’m fixing to take a couple months break and when I return I’ll probably pick up my Mage over my Warlock based on the current 10.1.5 PTR.

I say seed 2plus swcond cast needs to be decreased

With haste, a 2 sec seed cast shouldn’t be too bad, with 30% haste which is easily achieveable now it’ll go down to like 1.4
