RIP Aff 9.2

enhance/demo saw blizzcon play season 1!!

I’d think you’d need to do shadowbolt with nightfall since they will just kick your souldrain when you go for that setup

oh i meant ptr. current patch it sucks im not arguing that. The shadow bolt burst is kinda iffy because u need to fish for a night fall + malefic rap x 3. with all dots up. But the soul drain is 100% a joke to get up and a full souldrain is 60-75k. If u get rng lucky shadow bolt is next level deathbolt but i dont like it .

yeaaa I guess you have a 10 second window with drainsoul even if you get kicked, after you’ve raptured? Since the wrath leggo buffs it for 10 secs

u can keep refreshing the wrath buff tho. thats one nice thing. Also as i said previously. with carvers eye ur ua hits really really obnoxiously hard. Especially if u opt in to use marrowed gemstone. It felt clunky at first but once i got hang of it i got both builds working in the solo shuffle. Who knows when people learn about it idk. well see

Yeah I’ll have to mess around with it more, didn’t try out all of the necro soulbinds. Sounds like a nice change of pace from the fae options though. Claw + soul satchel sounded fun but everyone already freaks out when they see soul rot so it will be easily countered again ig

I do miss the days of fat drain souls

Yea thats why i definitely love the beefy UAs. Makes it more satisfying that they cant dispel. Also nice having decimating bolt + missles condi. gives u a nice finisher 2 some times. But prob cant run it much if u have to run withering bolt condi.

The state of warlocks according to warlocks

Bring back casting incinerate while moving, and I’ll never complain about warlocks again. I miss MoP destro and demo so bad…

Yeah idk I tried it out a bit on live just to get a feel for the playstyle, feels awful having to cast so much with rapture and drain soul. I can see it being good in 3s if you aren’t being targetted, otherwise the sustain kinda sucks compared to fae build with other leggo.

So what ur saying is its time to double affy or affy demo. Or hell even affy destro with how they are looking uwu.

Not arguably; they are 100% better than Aff.

That doesn’t make the spec bad. Every spec of warlock is more than good enough to push any rating you want in this game.

Just because they aren’t more busted than everything else doesn’t mean they’re bad, and i’d say that the game is 100000000000000% at it’s worst when warlocks are really good. The class is disgusting and has ruled the arena for it’s entire existence, love seeing less of them these days, and so does everyone else.

Affliction is fine you’re just bad :kissing_closed_eyes:

Aff lock was insane in legion. Just as good as destro

I gotta say - it is funny seeing a demon hunter comment on this :slight_smile:

Ok joking aside, there’s two awful states in this game: wizards or melee zugzug cleaves

We’re currently firmly in the latter territory. Both suck equally. It’s fine to dog on warlock turrets 2 shotting people, but you can’t forget that DH / warr / ret are currently zugging to 2400+

youre a warrior. you have zero room to talk about balance

A: I’m an enhancement shaman in a very convincing disguise, thank you
B: I didn’t say anything about balance???
C: You’re a level 35, post on a character you actually play coward

again youre a warrior so go brag about your e peen else where. We are talking about the horrible state of aff locks in 9.2 and here comes the zug zug troll to kick spec while they’re down

Where have I done that???

Good friend and non-melee class Slendy (Thecandymann) above is also saying warlock is fine if me playing a melee class somehow detracts from facts.
