Too overpowered
Yeah but you just line the bolts.
Ib4 mentioned.
Tbh I think only real problems that were caused from their buff is just that 5% flat out to destro probably leads to a lot more things in PvP scenarios than it would overall for PvE
For example a 5% base damage buff to chaos bolt would actually make the burstier chaos bolts stronger based on modifiers. In PvP this makes those even scarier.
Also the only other thing is just doing more damage makes destro tankier because of soul leech

It’s all about the bust 
Oops 10 char
bustier’s always better in my experience.
Big busty bolts
Why doesnt every lock play big bolt spec? Keep seeing locks chucking out a-cup bolts when they could be slammin double d’s every infernal
Yeah ran into this yesterday… infernal drops, cooldowns pop, near instacast 100k+ critting chaos bolts come in, boom dead in 2 sec… On an open map good luck.
Consistency
But every lock has infernals and every lock plays focused chaos and dark soul so idk what you mean
All I’m assuming is you mean why aren’t they shoving them all together and it’s prolly just to get pressure since people are mostly going to be focused on stopping infernal dark soul bolts, this way they can just get out more bolts for free and if they eat enough stops they can just pop cds
but only after the buff
Well, before buff too, but after buff its worse obv
Edit: pmuch the exact thing Poulj said
Leave them the monster cannons and beast controllers they are with their 4 DRs of utility. Just make them squishy enough to be a kill target for any spec if they position poorly.
Warlocks don’t have to Mana Tap anymore. Remove passive healing through dps.
-Soul Leech is no longer baseline and has to be obtained by picking Demon Skin but only the recharging portion, doing DPS no longer affects it.
-Demon Armor PvP talent swapped with Burning Rush, now locks have to choose between passive absorbs or plate armor depending on comp.
-Coil no longer heals you for CCing people.
-If further needed, reduce HP.
Now you have to choose the proper passive defensive vs comp, don’t get to passively ignore other specs DPS by just DPSing harder (which you naturally do to most specs anyways cause destro).
Now locks can actually die if they’re dumb.
i mean theres so many hard interrupts and psuedo interrupts to deal with it though
nah they’ll just fall over because they still can’t do anything but stand in one place and facetank damage
destro just needs active survivability, not the passive crap it has now and in legion
