I would rather go against a group of all paladins than deal with 1 affliction warlock that if impossible to heal through the spread dot damage. Thanks

Afflic is probably the last thing to worry about right now, especially in RSS where it’s very comp dependent.

Affliction doesn’t do dangerous damage though. Its all just pad damage.
Should have gotten nerfed last night with paladin. All you que into beyond duelist is warlocks and dks, and I’d rather fight anything else, even RMP because atleast SOMEONE can die and they don’t delete your health bar the entire game with 100% uptime while also being immortal.

People are talking about ret getting free rating since the rework but I’ve seen dks have 2600+ the first week ss came out, and these were RPers on mg that literally have never surpassed duelist before df and solo shuffle. And ALL specs of warlock, not just affy, are literally impossible to beat, especially if you que into double lock. Cry about 1m wings but atleast you can breathe when its over. Warlocks? If a pixel of your character is out of the pillar, might as well forfeit the game. gg

Look at solo shuffle and then sort for first blood (the player that dies in each round). Destro warlocks are in the lead by a long shot.
I’m all for nerfing locks and hunters along with the rets. Their damage in pvp is ridiculous. Thats why I stopped healing for pvp because getting globaled by them is so much fun…
I agree with you. The problem with destro is that the way its currently designed, its hard to not nerf them to the ground. UNLIKE other forum-goers, I don’t want to nerf warlock to the ground as they were chanting for ret, I want them to be good, but not unbeatable. Mind you, I am aware they are beatable, but its incredibly unreasonable how their soul leech heals for so much and makes it feel as if you’re smashing your skull off a brickwall and effectively doing no damage. They already have the cc and utility to survive and the damage to punish you. The “immortality” is insane and needs tuning.

I feel like no one in this thread actually knows how to play. Minus the lock and warrior that agrees that locks, especially affliction doesnt need to be nerfed. You’re a priest playing low mmr solos. 9/10 Having tried being a healer as a disc priest while maining afflock, We dont pillar and LoS enough as disc, and also are heavily dependant on our melee to actually kick, spell reflect, not burst into wall or DP, etc. Afflock has a 1.6% representation in the RSS community due to how annoying it is to play in the first place I.E. button bloat, CC, time management, and all of our escapes can be shut down the easiest of all the classes minus feral or boomy. Nerfing Afflock 3/4 hot fixes this season has literally just had players like me contemplating just going back to ESO or COD to kill my free time.
