To make Dragonflight fun for warlocks, we need a movement ability that doesn’t kill us, rather that’s a baseline burning rush that ticks mana instead of health, soulshape (doesn’t really fit a warlock), or door of shadows (this could fit warlocks, but I don’t like the cast time for pvp). We also need another defensive in pvp as melee just shred us. Maybe a defensive soul shatter that works similarly like fade for priests but is on a 30 second cd with a 30 - 25% damage reduction. Perma doomguard or perma infernal needs to come back. Fel domination needs to go and pets should just go back to regular summoning time. Also, why don’t warlocks have lust? Wasn’t Gul’dan a shaman before he became a lock? I think we should have lust. Maybe every class/spec should have a lust.
Affliction needs to go back to having strong dots and it needs some condensing. Haunt needs to be baked into unstable affliction. The whole row of level 45 talents needs to go for better aoe choices. Like something where you can cast shadowfury and it puts up agony and corruption on all targets or seeds of corruption now explode and do significant shadowflame damage (similar to legion legendary), or grimoire of sacrifice reworked so additional shadow damage is down to all targets which are hindered by corruption. I think siphon life should go and the heal should be baked into corruption.
Destro and demo are in a good spot (even though I hate demo and believe this should have never been a dps spec and should have been a warlock tank spec - YEP I SAID IT).
