Destro Hotfix

PVP Arenas

So the developers finally addressed Warlocks stacking high amounts of Haste.

Classes

  • Warlock

    • Affliction

      • The mana cost of Shadow Bolt has been reduced by 25%.

    • Destruction

      • The mana cost of Incinerate has been reduced by 25%.

    • Developers’ note: Affliction and Destruction Warlocks are running out of mana in prolonged fights when using high levels of Haste so we’re reducing the mana costs of their primary filler spells.

Just look at this. LOOK AT IT!

I am glad they finally fixed the mana issue warlocks had. God forbid they cant spam chaos botls 24/7 with 1 second cast times. guess we need to reduce their mana costs to help them not go oom.

It’s almost like the class wasn’t designed and balanced around having that much sustained haste

The level of troll Blizzard has pulled with Warlocks these past few months is so comical.

10/10 trolls every. single. time. :rofl:

I don’t know why I try to PvP in this PvE game. Anyone got any better game suggestions!?

1 sec cast times IF you were so lucky.

They can go much lower than 1s though. I’ve seen guildies go under 0.5s during Bloodlust.

Now that I got glad I’m done with this. I really hoped lock nerfs were being announced. Not…this.

I wish they could just explain their reasoning for not addressing what people talk about here…

There’s no way this is real.

They know goSUP and VoP is busted.

I get they couldnt forsee all the essence/azerite/corruption interactions but they dont even bother to tune either

For all their talk about being able to turn knobs and adjust stuff easily

I’m running out of runes when using 71% haste. Can i get a 50% buff to rune regeneration plz ty.

Looks like necroing all those nerf destro threads finally got some warlock changes.

I made a post about the destro hotfix in the general forums about how it’s blizzard trolling us, first response I get from a general forums poster:

“Those changes were to help PVE Locks
This game isn’t meant for PvP
Go play Overwatch”

I keep thinking the Devs can’t be this oblivious to Warlock problems? It’s a good thing I have a warlock alt. I think I’m gonna have to start gearing it up now and for shadowlands. Doesn’t seem like these Devs care about pvp in their game. I guess you know the saying “if you can’t beat them join them”. Time to gear up the lock.
