Huge class balance changes incoming feb 7th

The nerf to counteract magic was brutal and yes spheres

I also miss the revival Azerite proc dumping on splay

Counteract magic is garbage. They might as well remove it

Yep used to be amazing. RIP

It’s hardcasted how is that rapid

Also needs to be ramped for us to do any damage

Haha op neener neener neener

You cant rapidly cast hard casted spells?

Dispel also has a CD and Affliction is perfectly capable of 100-0ing someone or an entire arena team within that time.

Its not a tickle over time spec anymore its capable of insane burst.

What about Affliction really sceams a need for it?

lmfao

im not gonna lie in its basic element aff is a healer check but theres no shot this happens until deep damp

I like how blizzard says chaos bolt isn’t doing the damage they want it to and just buff it when no one was using a chaos bolt centric build.

tomorrow is gonna be rough lol

What? You are on drugs surely. Healer dispells you instantly apply full dots healers dispel is about to come up you CC like everyone else in the game. You cant get a kill during that as Affliction then you need to take some SC lessons I guess.

I have def seen Aff locks do absolutely nutty burst btw.

Not to mentioned you get something like MG/UA up it can easily be game over due to your Dispel Protection.

does no one have kick bound in your games?

like i said in its basic element its a healer check but theres nothing about the spec that can go 0-100

What does kick have to do with anything. Every caster in the game gets kicked.

Why does kick mean you need a absolutely ridiculous Dispel Protection.

Maybe what you need is a class redesign and not a passive meme like Dispel Protection that absolutely has no correlation to your ability to play the game.

youre talking about the one spellschool caster that needs dots to stick to do damage

you have no idea how the spec actually functions

Let me take a guess. You apply dots and Rapid out of LOS until you havea full go with 50 stack Drain phantom, glare and rot then you send it on as many stacks of agony as you can and 100-0 someone in 3.8s

the way you keep phrasing everything makes it seem like for some reason the warlock has full dots out at all times and gets to free cast (they dont)

basic positioning with dispels here and there can mitigate a ton of damage

You are a rot class that has burst potential. Doesn’t mean you should ever get to burst. You cant die because you have the most self healing in the game. Affliction absolutely has bust potential even without ramped up agony.

You don’t need a DP anymore. Maybe if they completely remove your potential to 100-0 something than I would agree. Maybe if UA was usable less often but its not. It can easily be kept on a min of 2 targets nearly all game.

Not to mention you get a pseudo MS all game with Curse of Tongues

I’m not sure where you’re getting this information from. In order for this to happen, your entire team must be sitting ducks watching the lock just cast repeatedly and aren’t lifting a finger to disrupt anything.

So you are saying they have the option of LOSing you?

Is that new? You are telling me thata good Affliction lock cant keep UA up on multiple arena enemies?

I beg to differ.

They can into bad players

Look the whole point of this buff is because healers should have to choose whether dispelling the warlocks entire dmg profile is worth it in the moment

Right now people just don’t need to care about the damage and can dispel on cooldown and with the addition of the amount of dot removal other dps specs have it’s pretty miserable
