Mop's version of Aff was better in every way. (a repost)

I was told there were 5 or 6. Also hunter requires at least one brain cell in its defensive use because a light breeze can kill it. I need at least 2 for turtle and 3 for yelling at the healer.

BM
Fury
Ret
Destro
Frost mage
Frost DK

I took this off the wownoob subreddit and quite a lot of classes and specs stuff came up. I mostly just play warlock and monk so no comment.

As for Destro majority of the specs difficulty is going to come from movement.

Your alright, you aren’t the person I was initially asking because of their random aggressive post, but I appreciate the sincere response.

Going back on topic I don’t think aff is particularly hard atm, its main issues are that the talent tree doesn’t mesh well to form a cohesive spec you have aoe talents that are outright useless in single target and numerous ones at that, you have talent points taken to avoid other talent points rather then because you want them. I think malefic rapture is a failed experiment and as long as it and seed of corruption exist aff will have problems as malefic rapture can’t be too strong else it becomes a fire mage situation of not taking flamestrike because ignite too good. Siphon life is a unfun busywork spell that compounds the issue. And these issues will persist even if aff becomes gets hotfixed and made 20% better then every other class in single target and aoe tomorrow. Malefic rapture is also probably part of why blizzard is hesitant on giving vile taint and agony the uptime they should have.

And by a cohesive spec I would describe demo as such where you can make your single target or aoe build and not sacrifice the other in situations where both damage types are situationally important such as gnarlroot/tindral/larodar and m+.

I would also describe legion aff as a cohesive spec at that. Dunno about mop since I wasn’t playing at the time but I do hear it was the golden age of warlock.

I still think MR is perfectly fine. Talents need help I can agree.

I really hate how DT and Doom Blossom are competing with each other. If you could take both for m+ and change agonizing corruption to extend agony in some way off the initial SoC explosion damage the spec would be great for m+ and be able to compete with demo.

Also they need to do something about Soul Swap. The 30 second cd and soul shard cost is way too harsh. The cd at the very least needs to be halved.
