Lock Class tuning passed?

For the sake of comparing ourselves to other classes on the list for class tuning.

Ele Shamans are sitting pretty for both Raid and M+ fronts and they are getting love?

Meanwhile, Affliction locks still suffer greatly for both M+ and Raids.

How can you call this class tuning if our class is completely being overlooked?

Like… whaaaaat? Do we not have a Dev team focusing on Locks feedback and tuning changes? No wonder people are quitting again in rapid pace.

They really should just delete Warlocks as a playable class and relegate it to NPC villain roles. They hate us so much at Blizz.

Troll post is troll.
I’ll think of you the next time I melt an uppity monk in Solo Shuffle.

IcyVeins’ last report I saw for tierlists had me in shambles reading it. They must have read some data wrong or a lot of people were trying really hard that week to make Locks work or something.

Long story short, Deslock was mid tier at best across the board and Aff and Demo traded off on low tier spots on everything, but somehow according to the raw damage report, Demolock can put out nearly double the damage of anything else in the game.

Explain to me how it purportedly has THAT high of a damage profile, and yet is nearly unplayable.

I was being facetious with how they legitimately don’t care about us. You need your reading comprehension checked.

I played a boomkin till mists.
Then I saw the potential of locks, ever since a summoner, but now, I feel like it is time to move forward and roll a mage.
I just laugh when I see the patch notes.

This has been a constant theme in the War Within. We were very late to get any meaningful changes early in the season as well. Our last buffs were lovely but didn’t do anything to put is into a high placement.

Destruction is the most viable but by no means a strong choice compared to a myriad of other dps classes.
Demonology needs a rework to be viable in a movement centric season.
Affliction needs damage profiles significantly increased.

Don’t look at the mythic+ leaderboard either, it’ll just depress you.

It’s a sad time to be maining lock.

It was sad to be maining a lock in df too.
Classes are getting reworks in between seasons, we are not getting a single meaningful change. lame af

Not to mention the myriad of bugs we’ve had to tolerate on top of everything else (some of which are still very existent).
Why does my pet unsummon upon every key start? Channeling eye gets old really fast when you spam keys.

Icy vein tier list has been trash for years. And I don’t mean they have a spec at S tier while it should be in A. They often have class in S that should be in C or D.

+s4 of df was dreadful, bugs+no hero talents killed us. basically, we were cut from the rest of the world, suddenly no more high/14+ keys

God, I love The Community. Everything is amazing and the most helpful resource, until everyone else informs you it’s actually trash.
