You should not be employed unless you play and understand the game at a semi high level and have played multiple expansions. This level of bad design and inability to tune for balance is unacceptable and embarrassing.
it takes 5 seconds of looking at logs to see 22% buff to chaos bolt solves nothing. Its very basic math. If you actually play the game its beyond obvious warlocks need help design and tuning wise.
Every long term warlock player has been saying this feels terrible since beta and has given more then enough feedback and ideas. what numbers are you looking at?! what feedback are you reading?!
If you do not play the game…you cant do basic math…you struggle with third grade reading comprehension and you blatantly ignore feedback… why do you have a job?
Serious question for those involved in class design and tuning. How on earth are you still employed.
-
affliction needs damage shifted to dots and has gcd issues in raid, mythic + and pvp. Many options: combine 2 of the dots/remove a dot and add the damage elsewhere/make ua permanent.
-
22% chaos bolt was the right idea but…Destro needs aura buff and something for the base spec like: VOP vision of perfection or rain of chaos being baked into the spec. buff base haste or reduce cast times. or look at previous expansion designs for ideas. shadowlands destro is an abomination currently.
-
demo needs tuning and more work on the pet ai. stop nerfing things like the dog build. Makes no sense why you are nerfing things that are not even performing.
-
Warlocks need better defensives and passive amour or healing for the pvp meta that is emerging. We are getting globald through wall. Demon armor needs to be base and buffed. Spell reflect base(helps us in pve alot too). soul link/passive healing needs to be tuned up.
or you know… do your job and come up with abilities and talents that actually add value and make the specs perform and feel good to play? that might work…

It honestly feel like Affliction is being punished for some past transgression with this spec. Like they said, “Warlocks are too much fun, they shouldn’t be able to have all that fun. I know, let’s make them hardcast in burst windows to do any damage, that will teach them to be a DoT-and-channel class!”
I’ll be honest though, I don’t think you’re being very tactful here, talking about designer’s jobs and whether or not they deserve them. We’re coming up on what’s going to be one of the worst economic disasters of the modern world, I wouldn’t wish joblessness on anyone, whether I think they’re doing a good job or not. I know it’s easy to get frustrated with the way the class is right now (it’s sapping my will to play) but try to be cool man XD. Appreciate your post otherwise.

If they leave Destro as is I’d be disappointed, though I think the tuning will continue. Lock’s saving grace right now for me atleast has been Demo in M+. Afflic is too much input not enough output for me unless I’m raiding, even then I’d rather be playing SP.
Destruction, CB has been nutured. IDK why all damage output isn’t coming from the green bombs but rather from an infernal with a 3M cooldown? Seems silly and entirely not the point of the class, you’d be crazy to waste a legendary on this spec as long as CB is hitting like it is.
Nope. They have way more info and insight than any 1000 other players who play at a “high level”. Hiring raider dips as if they have some clue about game design is how we got stuck with Ion, who has screwed up everything he touches for years and lies to us over and over.
Fire all the “hardcore” jackoffs, if anything.

Ion is literally dogsh*t at the game and at class design. He doesn’t pvp, doesnt do mythic plus, and does poorly in his own raid. He is beyond casual for someone who makes a living off wow. Wow has has some great devs over the years that made the game really fun and decently balanced. Ion is not one of them.

Here is Ions the terrible’s logs…he is a grey parsing, moron who cant even do the mechanics that he created lol…you cant make this stuff up… Like how can you parse grey when you have all the answers, are 200+ item level, in a mythic guild that carries you and you make your class(resto sham) the strongest healer in the game lol…
THERE ARE 14 YEAR OLDS WHO ARE BETTER AND HAVE A BETTER OVERALL UNDESTANDING OF THE GAME.

Bump fire these people already. Don’t move them to another game or department to ruin. Fire them and find new talent who appreciates the opportunity these bums are taking advantage of.
no effort, no talent, no respect for the customer or employer. Move on sooner than later. Your players and pocket books will thank you.

The problem with saying “just fire them” Is that bobby “gallywix” Cottick is more than happy to increase his own salary at the expense of low end staff. The core issue is the big bloated leeches at the top sucking the life out of the rest of the company.

At this point it’s not even not playing the game. A 10 yeard old kid who never played wow in his life could do a better job. We call what the designer did with lock being incompetent. THe guy is just not good and should be fired asap.
