Can we please get more tuning changes that a tiny 15% damage buff to venthyr and necrolords ability damage. This doesn’t do a damn thing to make them more competitive with how far behind they are. Especially for necro where most of their damage comes from it buffing spells like incinerate, shadow bolt, demon bolt, drain soul. I don’t want it to be OP, just competitive with the other choices so I’m not locked into 1 or 2 choices i’d rather not choose.

The flavor of Necro, in my opinion, fits so much better with Warlocks as a class than say, Night Fae. I’m not saying Blizz should adjust balancing to aesthetics, but as you said it would be nice if they could be brought up to snuff so that I don’t feel like a goof ball running around as a Necrolord when everyone is dismissing them out of hand.

I feel like Venthyr is the only one really lacking right now. I believe Necrolord is now the best destro ST covenant.

Necro feels good ST for sure. I wish the buff was fully applied to Fire and Brimstone.
NF is prob the best all around choice and I am sure in itll be glaring in initial Dungeon groups but ST I am really enjoying the 4-5k Incinerate crits.
I believe even with the 15% buff to Venythr, as a Demo Lock (my main spec) it’s still not worth pressing as it’s a dps loss :(, so I’m hoping for further buffs.
I’ve asked on beta forums to make it more meaningful and synergise with the spec.
Remove the “it applies curses”, and make it summon 3 wild imps or give 2 Demonic Core procs, but do you think Blizzard listened?. 
Right now it seems that Venthyr is the only one that’s a dps loss to use single target for Destro. I’d like to see it buffed or tweaked so that’s no longer the case, like making it deal bonus damage when it only hits one target or making only the DoT portion much stronger.

the night fae move is so much better for affliction than the venthry move… its crazy how much more damage it does lol
I’d be cool with necrolord just passively buffing shadowbolt/incinerate/drainsoul/demonbolt all the time honestly. It would feel better than pressing an abikity and having only the next 3 buffed.
