Unholy Blight and Unholy Pact need SIGNIFICANT damage buffs. To put in perspective, a 4 stack Unholy Blight does less damage than an auto attack swing. Same for Unholy Pact. To invest a talent point into something that an auto attack does more than is insane

Anyone remember when Unholy Pact gave you strength?
Good times.

Unholy Blight has no business existing or at least not in this iteration. We already have abomination to auto apply dots. The damage is not great as you mentioned because of its pandemic effect. Imo rework it or plain remove it.
Huh? It doest apply dots. What do you mean by pandemic? Or you talking about epidemic because it doesnt do that either
My dude do you know what the pandemic effect is? It’s reapplying the diseases for the duration of the effect. Which is the secondary effect of unholy blight and is unnecessary since we have abomination to apply diseases.
Refreshing dots by doing something else. Like Drain Soul having a 100% chance to refresh the duration of corruption and unstable affliction when the target is at 25% health or lower.
I get the sentiment that these talents are of low value due to pathetic added damage, but I do not think that increasing the damage of cooldowns, or abilities that are cooldown riders is the correct move for the long term health of the spec.
We are already suffering from an overabundance of cooldowns and cooldown riders therefore we deal pathetic damage outside of our cooldowns as there is no damage “budget” left for our core abilities. If we want scourge strike, death coil and the like to actually deal good damage we can’t keep adding more components to our cooldowns.
I think Unholy Pact could be retired and make room for something new.
I think Unholy Blight is actually useful for it’s disease reapplication, especially for the San’layn hero talents, and is worth the point for that reason.
Just my opinion, you’re free to disagree.

I’d rather we just have abom apply diseases on the opener and let us manage it with outbreak after. Outbreak keep being diminished by all these other sources of applying diseases and they never sync with the cooldown that applied it. It’s stupid.
And you didnt hear that here either. You heard about the pandemic effect.
Pandemic has had slight changes from something else reapplying dots to additional applications extending the duration of a dot up to a % of the base duration. So not only was abom applying a disease it was using the pandemic effect to extend the dot as well and it didnt have to do it at the end of its duration to gain extra duration on the next.
Abom does continuously reapply VP. If the targer doesnt have VP on it then it applies
I get it but a 4 stack of blight doing less damage than an auto attack doesnt make sense to me
