Multiple warlock specs/spells BROKEN

[Elyssra-moon-guard]

The passive spell ‘Doom’ in the warlock demo tree, doesnt appear to be correctly applying to mobs, when consuming demonic cores.

When testing today it seems to be applying correctly only about half of the time. The ‘doomguard on expiration’ seems to be working fine, but the actual application of ‘impending doom’ to the target doesnt land.

Edited to add: Multiple warlock spells and specs are not working correctly or fully broken.

Was coming to report this as well even though my experience was much less than half.
Out of 86 consumed cores w/o Doom on the target, it applied 5 times, so didn’t even reach 20% of the time.

*Edit
Just tried again and 15/15 eligible Doom cores proc’d on the target dummy.
Optimistically hopeful this has been fixed.

Yeah Ive been fooling around with it for about an hour and Its definitely applying on a super low chance. Which is really sucking considering demonic cores proc chance in the first place, and that doomguard is tied to it falling off. This can’t be intended.

[Taco-malygos]

Agreed.
Especially since the tooltip doesn’t say consuming a demonic core has a ‘chance’ to apply, it specifcally states when and that it’ll reduce Doom duration if consumed while present.

Ironically, last I checked the TWW Beta (mind you it’s been a while) it was applying correctly.
As for what got broken between and now, anyone’s guess.

Here’s a shot at some demonology bugs:

1. Dread calling is giving double value
2. Doom is only applying if you have more than 1 demonic core since the spell is checking for demonic core on hit
3. Impending Doom is not giving an imp on doom expiration
4. Foul mouth does not work at all/partially works.
5. Shadowtouched does not work at all/partially works
6. Houndmaster’s gambit does not work.
7. Improved demonic tactics do not work at all.
8. Demonic Brutality does not work at all.

I would personally advise playing Demonology with some caution; you’re significantly bugged, reducing damage by a lot. Although, if you’re having fun playing the new talents, that doesn’t matter!

Class tree:

1. Several bugs with healthstones. Demonic healthstones will dissapear once you hit a loading screen. I’m not too sure about the regular Healthstone bug, but it puts your Healthstone on cool down until you talent switch.

Affliction:

1. Cull the weak doesn’t work at all
2. Malefic touch is doing pre-rework damage (it does not scale with mastery)

Destruction:

1. Power Overwhelming is giving double value, while also giving 3 shard value with inferno.
2. Shadowburn is in an unbuffed state compared to beta which makes the entire shadowburn line of talents a dps loss to use.
3. Decimation is supposedly proccing less than it should be (this is highly speculative)

Copied from the warlock forums. Demonology dps is not good and its not fun to play right now due to these.

If anyone has an additional warlock bugs or information from your testing please add it here!

[Magniwl-zuljin]

Thanks for CCing my list, here’s another one:

Demonology:

1. Mark of F’harg does not scale with haste. This was fixed on beta as well

[Elyssra-moon-guard]

Thanks for gathering all that! Here’s hoping more warlocks make a stink about this.

[Irithel-moon-guard]

Here’s hoping demo warlock spells get fixed tuesday. Otherwise Ill be benching my warlock for a while. Its not fun to play when a ton of my spells arent working as intended (or at all for some).

[Elyssra-moon-guard]

Tuesday came and went and demonology warlock is still HEAVILY broken. Spells are not working correctly.

Hello i have issue with my demonology spec in patch 11.0.0
Pets dont do any damage in pvp. I have screens with demology spec in pvp, and my warlock with pets do damege in pvp almost like healer…

[Erindar-grobbulus]

Bumping because spending a demonic core does not actually mean you will get doom still.

[Elyssra-moon-guard]

Multiple demonology warlock spells are still NOT WORKING AT ALL. Demonic healthstones still resetting on any zone change/summon/ etc.

Reported on the warlock forums that pets dont appear to be doing correct damage, or attacking when prompted consistently as well.

Another tuesday reset and nothing was addressed with warlocks. The above, pets doing less dmg in pvp and healthstones resetting or being used on OTHER people’s cooldowns still happening.

The sheer number of bugs this prepatch, and honestly all of dragonflight has finally made me cancel. This is insane how bad its gotten. I have no trust that the next xpac wont be a buggy mess and thats sad.

Bumping. Ffs, Blizzard.
