I mean UA locks pump atm I’m not even sure what you mean.
Ps it was funny because I was playing my hpal and my shadow priest MD’d me to get me out of root beams and globaled himself lol

good, about time affliction locks took their rightful place back in the hierarchy. I miss metamorphis and sl locks. Those were good times.

I actually agree, I’d much prefer affli meta over destro. Just not sure 20k UA dispels is it though lol

defintely needs toning down because getting mindgames and eating a 20k crit to dispel it is not fine

Yeah on my rsham the standard shadowplay strat seems to be to struggle all game to get UA on me and then mind games over it while blasting single target hoping the NG proc one taps me.
It pumps when you can free cast. And in mongobungo zerg rush meta, you cannot.
Don’t dispell UA? I can’t remember a time when it was not like this.

Dispel protection gimmicks don’t need to be so intense now that dispel has a cd. UA is spammable, so is VT, I don’t mind them having some sort of protection but how does it make sense for them to have it and not ele shaman who has an actuaal CD on their magic dot.
UA doesn’t need high damage dispel protection anymore, esp in a faster pace meta where things happen in the silence duration. Affliction damage also is incredibly high atm (which is fine).

Yes it is fine, you don’t dispel it. You heal through it and it costs a lot of mana, same as healing an Aff lock because they are a bit on the tender side despite their mobility. So both sides are losing mana at a good pace, preventing the game from going to dampening hopefully.

Lmao I really want to believe this is a joke post, but idk anymore.
What happens if you need to dispel something and the target is afflicted with UA? Like Mindgames or Root + Beam like mentioned in this thread?
I would suggest a defensive before dispelling, ppl used to do that in legion if the Aff got 4 or more UA stacks off.
People are beating Aff locks right now with it just the way it is. Dispel protection got gutted in BFA and it was part of the reason Aff was so trash tier. It needs to hit hard bud

Sounds like the safest bet. Our dots will tickle you at most.

In this meta? Yeah.
Imagine not having that as a Warlock right now. Ladder is literally Resto Shamans, Warriors and Rets all over the place at ratings that matter.
Ret can basically invalidate UA dispel completely.

Ya def should not be a thing.
A affy lock should spend 8 seconds getting you fully dotted, and then another 10 for ramp up, for you to dispel it all freely.
Definitely should be the way it is.
