just watched a video Kalamazi put out today talking about how hellcaller’s wither now has an internal cooldown which not only bricks hellcaller but slaughters destro even more just pushing it further and further down the dps list. really terrible for aff as well

It’s so gross. I can’t believe they’ve done this days before the raid launches.

Fun detector was buzzing in Irvine. I bet money this was intentional, I was in a dungeon the other day topping the meters and said to myself “they going to nerfbat this, its too fun for them to ignore.”

This is skullduggery!

Hope this is a bug on blizzard side, this shouldn’t have happen so close to M+ and raid opening.

yea this is bad 
I so wanted to play that hero talent too.
this is obviously unintentional. there’s no way they’d make a change this big, which straight up contradicts the tooltips on several abilities without putting it in the patch notes and updating tooltips. I’m guessing some dev put this in while testing something out and forgot to revert it.
the real question is, how long will it take them to fix this?

Feels terrible for pvp as well. Jinx pvp talent allowed building stacks of wither fairly quickly to get damage out. 5 second ICD is a looooonnngg time in pvp situations

Have to hope this is a bug. I read some speculation that it -might- be intended as a nerf to affliction hellcaller, but if that’s the case I’d have to imagine there’s a better way to do this than remove the entire gameplay loop of the hero talent spec.

I’ve never been more convinced that this is a bug or a mistake/oversight. This change is spec-killing levels of bad and the fact that it went completely undocumented despite the fact that it’s this massive leads me to believe that this wasn’t intended in the slightest.
That being said, I really hope Blizzard fixes this ASAP. Dropping something like this ~3-4 days before raid releases, especially when it’s completely undocumented, is a bad look, especially when Warlocks in general weren’t even looking all that insane going into this tier.

A change like this right before raid would be considered unintended imo. You all should just post it as a bug in the bug forum.
Bump because it’s been 2 min since last post.
