Idk if I like these patch notes that I’m seeing. Dispelling UA was already a choice for healers to make and now it’s going to almost one shot. Might as well take dispel off my bars against affliction locks.
I just like how blizzards idea of buffing affliction locks is to punish healers for dispelling. Also 40% more damage on chaos bolt is ridiculous. 40% is going to make destro hit way too hard with cleave damage.
We’re going to enter a lock meta
Warlocks are not allowed to be weak. Sorry.
Affliction being A tier instead of S tier was an oversight, and will be remedied with post haste. Sincerest condolences to the warlocks who may have actually been attacked by a melee player during this time.
130k UA dispel wasn’t enough. let’s go for 180k
UA dispel used to be buffed by 30 % if you got 3x malefic casts off and would do 200-240k per dispel. So that’s gone at least
Warlocks don’t need UA dispel at all anymore.
Just don’t dispel and line the bolt ez.
Gonna charge through a chi sphere and blow up my healer.
No more Dream Projection.
And a silence. Don’t forget the silence.
Good. Affliction with the PENALTY DID NOTHING.
NOTHINGGGG. That and the dot transfer bugging out.
Do you have any idea how annoying it is to have to CONSTANTLY cast dots that get cleansed milliseconds after casting them??
Tbh healers were spam dispelling UA, so it def needed some attention to make them think twice.
“dispel me!!!”
“I can’t or I’ll get hit for 75% of my hp!!!”
loses game
Great design. I don’t mind it doing damage, but cmon. SPriest dots get dispelled freely, why not aff locks?
Aff was the bane of my existence in SL bc I was so terrified of dispelling against them.
So when is the ideal time to dispel UA?
When you and your teammates are at 100% hp and you can waste a damage reduction defensive? Then, you can dispel UA and not heal for 4 seconds?
4 seconds feels like an eternity when your teammates are getting bursted down. And if the other team chains CCs after the silence, RIP.
Affliction does a ton of damage if you don’t dispel though. It’s a lose lose
When they cast Singularity and Soul Rot? Sorry you shouldn’t be able to completely shut down Aff’s dmg every 8 seconds
I am sure there will be patch notes in 2 weeks that change the buff, reducing it in PVP, and yadda yadda, gotta give people stuff to do.
When you have htt down
I was spam dispelling UA tbh, don’t think a buff to the backlash is that out of left field. It’ll still be worth to dispel during soul rot or during a go where you can immediately duck behind a pillar.
Time to let my melee sit in 7-second roots again, this sucks.
Getting dispelled on cd was starting to shut aff down really hard especially if curse removal was involved.
It shut them down so hard they’d go from #1 dam to bottom, significantly. Happened every shuffle I was healing that involved UA locks.
