Specced into affliction, decently geared and it’s only ticking for 7 damage in WSG. Is this a joke Blizzard?
Edit: I’m also level 25.
Did you check to make sure you’re using rank 2?
Yep! Definitely using rank 2.
U also have corruption, void sac, fear, unkickable life drain, haunt. warlocks are more than fine.
the ones with problems are destruction locks, they need either shadowfury, reduction of incinerate cast, or some mobility urgently.
It’s not about the damage per tick its about the damage per GCD, which is very high unless it gets cleansed and/or otherwise doesn’t run its full course.

It does seem weak considering Ferals are getting 300 dmg Mangles and 70+ Rip ticks, but the affliction playstyle is more about spreading dots and rotting groups, which Agony is good for.
You’ve just named everything except what I am talking about.
You know it ticks for more the longer it goes right?

Yes, but you’re dead by then…

First it continues ticking after you’re dead.
But also if you’re trying to not die or do burst damage before you die in a BG you have a lot of spells better than CoA to cast in that moment.

Warlocks make for a good FC. They’re heavily armored with meta, can funnel HP back to themselves, and can dish out damage at a distance while running. It’s an ideal package for the FC to multi-DOT while moving past/through a fight and not getting stuck in the thick of it.
I can imagine Warlocks who thought they were going to be big D pumpers and blasting hard are disappointed but it is what it is.
Curse of agony rank 3 is at level 28. The spell is supposed to be kinda weak at 25 as you wait for your next rank.
