With the lack of any meaningful (and very much needed) changes for 11.0.5, it’s looking pretty discouraging to continue on as Lock at the moment. I’m very much enjoying Diabolist Demo but the clear shortcomings of the spec and class is outweighing the fun of it. Feel like I’m being punished and it’s radio silence from you guys.
Can we please get some response from someone at Blizzard, letting us know we’re at least being looked at?
I don’t think they actually have a warlock dev tbh.
Remember when the current Warlock dev said Malefic Rupture was here to stay as long as he held the reigns.
Y’all are done.
lmao.
Geeee i wonder why nobody plays affliction lmao.
Watching affliction fall off the tier list ladder like a tonne of bricks.
I do ok as demo, though my casting rotation is kinda boring
Tbh diabolist demo is the only viable lock spec right now and even that is bottom of the ladder for raid, its only in a good spot for keys but good luck being invited to a key above an 8 because your class colour isnt teal,blue or pink.
I do okay too, but there are major pain points in the kit that really need to change in order for us to actually be competitive. Being as low as we are on the meters and being a pure dps class does not make for healthy game design. I know that there are other classes that have the same issue and I hope they’re heard as well.
Can’t hear you over them buffing frost DKs. Excuse me what?
Frost dk buffed
Ret buffed
Aug buffed
Frost mage buffed
Warrior nerfed …
Warlock = dont exist.
What the hell are they doing, theyre clearly taking the p*ss.
Breath of Sindragosa do be loud.
Warlock dev? LOL
Fixed that, cuz you’re right lmao
They’re nerfing Diabolist Destro’s AoE output to curtail Rain of Fire becoming the go-to spender for non-cleave fights despite already having fixed that with previous tuning.
They’re not just not hearing Warlocks, they’re not even hearing themselves.
Not that warlock couldn’t use a look, but it’s really funny how dramatically the class reacts when they don’t have a top 3 DPS spec for the first time in recorded history.
That said, these balancing notes are hilariously backwards.
Feral, absolute zero. Brrrr.
I mean, it should be a top dps class, considering it’s pure dps. It’s a class that brings healthstones, summons and damage. The former aren’t big enough utility to warrant being near bottom tier dps. And I’m talking about gameplay changes to the kit mostly, not just raw damage buffs. They did that like 2 weeks ago for Demo and it didn’t actually change the core issues with the spec.
But they are buffing the chaos bolt interaction because destro warlocks weren’t casting chaos bolt.
They aren’t, it already does what they’re making Touch of Rancora make it do.
The only actual change is to Rain of Fire, an outright nerf from 3 second reduction to Demonic Ritual to 1 second reduction. Chaos Bolt keeps its 2 second reduction, and Shadowburn was always a 1 second reduction because it’s 1 shard.
You just cry too much. Look at the monk situation right now:
We have the 3 least performing specs of each category: The least performing tank in dungeons (BY FAR), the least perfoming healer and one of the least perfoming DPS in general.
And we barely got a mention. You can’t call those things buffs to be honest.
But you, in the other hand, has a portal which provides lots of skips, has cookies for the party/raid, not great DPS but also a brezz. You would be invited over a monk to any group any day and night.
But answering your question: No, they are not hearing you. They always pick by finger what they want to do, and you gotta wait until you are randomly selected.
Ohhhh pooor monk perish the thought that for once the spec isnt performing boo hoo.
