Hey, everyone!
- Bring Inevitable Demise back, affliction warlock are easier to kill of all warlock specializations, how could it even occur to you to remove this talent?
Inevitable Demise
Talent
Requires Warlock
Requires level 15
Damaging an enemy with Agony increases the damage dealt by your next Drain Life by 7%. This effect stacks up to 50 times.
-
Make Unstable Affliction able to cast on all targets you want around you, without PVP talent by default.
It’s a joke when 1st dot aoe spec in game has only 2 dots for multidoting.
-
Make Jinx active spell that will consume 1 soul shard and makes next 2 curse apl. agony and corruption on target.

Inevitable demise was a horrible talent for it meant two things:
1- drain life would never be strong outside of a cd window.
2- the spec’s overall defense would be nerfed to compensate said windows.
People don’t seem to understand that you can never gain more defense than normal, everthing is normalized/tuned down until you always have the same amount of survivability. Now that aoe drains are gone warlocks should be tankier by default to compensate.

I did not like Inevitable Demise, yet another thing to track/manage for afflic that contributed to making it a headache to play. I played aff all expac, not just S4, and the amount of effort/focus you had to have when playing aff vs. just facerolling as demo or destro was wild
Spec just needs a whole rework
But are we getting any additional defensives as compensation?
nah soul burn drain life LOH had to go made the spec not killable by alot of comps untill deep damp

Good question. Logically we should , however i don’t think the devs care about locks enough to do much right now.
There were so many ways to stop it
I ditched Warlock. Its obvious the only caster class blizz wants to be able to deal with melee is mages, aaaaand thats it.
Mistweavers are going to enjoy fighting Affliction locks. Gotta be honest, they are even more infuriating in TWW. Just had the pleasure of playing against mw in RSS on beta.

Soul Rot lands, Revival. Second Soul Rot - ST Dispel. Third Soul Rot - Revival!!! - we know this deal. But it is even more punishing now because Soul Rot is no longer on a 30 or 45 sec cooldown. It is on a 1 minute cooldown. We no longer rot enemies by keeping up 3 dots. It’s all about Malefic Rapture and Darkglare. But without all 5 DOTs, Malefic Rapture tickles.

I port enemy cooldowns, the mw monk rolls and uses CLASH, rooted and am back in the happy hands of melee. I bet mages are gonna suffer. Shimmer/Blink - Nullified by Clash!
Who thought it was a good idea to give monks Clash???
Alot of locks are playing with shadow bolt single UA soul harvester spec on Beta. Cranks hard. Personally find it lame but it is definitely viable if you don’t want to be the soul rot route
clash doesnt take you as far as you think and bugs like half the time to not even root you lol
that’s a good idea, could free up pvp honor talent
I haven’t seen too much beta outside of pve, but locks got some big pve buffs and also that healthstone talent looks insane.
Inevitable demise required you to have high stacks to get a good heal out of it, and any kick or CC on the channel wasted the stacks.
The demonic stone can be used on demand whenever off CD.
There are new talents that you cannot get right now that will make your stone better.
Only thing I’m having trouble with is DK and ele sham like everyone else.

So what’s the go to hero build now on beta for affy pvp? I was planning on going heavy dot dmg and hell caller. Is that not the move now?
Hell caller still pumps a lot but against double melee your are required to have you partner peel as much as they can.
That’s always been the case vs double melee. Is there any advantage in going with the other hero talents? I forget what its called
Soul harvester def just makes your malefic and casted abilities hit way harder, less about dots. Hell caller gives you curse of the satyr and a bunch of spread dot damage., how ever both of them require a lot of casting atm.
The best thing to do as aff atm is just go full st with oblivion and play hell caller and just kill people around pillars.
