Think it’s time to break from game zero feedback followed or even commented on by Blizzard. Why should I continue to pay them to ignore our concerns?

I don’t think the devs have a clear plan for Aff or Locks in general.
The rework of our class tree this xpac is of middling quality at best and didn’t really tackle the massive bloat in our tree, but at least we have 1 capstone that feels like a capstone talent I guess. Seriously, why did they think making a 5% Soul Conduit a capstone was a good idea?
Aff is a mess, and will remain a mess until it gets a proper rework, but that’s easier said than done. Wouldn’t be surprised is Aff is forgotten until next xpac if we’re lucky.
Destro is doing fine AFAIK
Demo is also doing fine, but I wish the bottom right of Demo’s tree wasn’t left to rot. Throw Guillotine and IH in the trash and give us something competitive to take over Doom in single target.
I also wouldn’t mind Soul Harvester getting a rework. I think it’s only good for Aff in single target right now and doesn’t carry the same strong thematic identity that Diabloist has.

Even visually… Soul Harvester really looks ‘cheap’. The demon animation that pops behind you is so fast and unsatisfying. I don’t know how it could be, but I always imagined something like a huge maw absorbing (“harvesting”) the souls of the opponents around the caster for a prolonged time - of course, this would need the reality of the hero tree’s mechanics being something completely different.
