I’m sure he does, he’s just saying it’s not a rot spec and it’s very basic in its current form
Current affliction is a travesty, just merely imagining that I’d like wod back is disgusting but at least affliction still had some depth to it back then
affliction can stay garbage until it gets an overhaul

Yeah, I think that’s what the OP is asking for, and a lot of lock fans agree.
Tbf pretty much all lock specs need an overhaul at this point. None of them are as fun as they used to be.
Cata aff = best iteration of the spec hands down. Had a level of complexity and was enjoyable. Runner up probably goes to MoP imo since I have not played the spec in Wrath- which I hear was very fun too. If they could atleast buff aff’s dot damage and make haunt’s damage and role more significant, it would certainly make the spec worth playing in PvP.
Affliction is such a dumpster fire. When I think of what a bad class design is, I think of affliction.
Horrible talents with little choice, little utility, bad survivability, long ramp up, huge setup for burst, totally susceptable to dispels, no mobility, weak overall pressure outside of CDs… It’s like, what does affliction actually have to offer?

A long gateway to help you run 2 seconds longer from a TSG that’s about to spitroast you.
I really enjoy my Affliction Lock, and I do great in BGs. I wouldn’t know how they do in Arenas, every time I try to join a group I get “Oh, we though you were destro” followed by a kick.
But dot them up, hit em with a drain to refresh, and when things get tough use my demon gate with a 60yd range? Buh bye
