Damn! That’s some serious spread damage.
How on earth do I counter because Aff locks are a lot more durable now than last expac?

If by a lot more durable you mean 8% more armor than sure.

Seems likes they have more life gain. Aff is legit tanky now.
you should probably kill the lock or something
what, how are they more durable they literally fall over when someone looks at them. Only god tier affliction locks are even doing above average and Malefic Whateveritscalled can be los’ed now.
affliction is garbo unless jesus himself is kiting you.
That’s what I thought. It is the normal strat, but they are tanky af atm.
no you’re probably just oblivious to the spriest crosshealing
You can’t los instant dots.
They are the squishiest spec in the game like why do you think they are tanky?

i said them kiting you, dude. they cant unless they are gods and you got triple outplayed in the same go.
or maybe you’re Retpally? 
If Aff is going to keep the UA+mindgames combo, then they should probably lose some tankiness.
locks definitely arent tanky right now, they just have alot of mobility which they need to be able to play. just shut down the lock as much as possible making sure to kick only UA and fear and eventually youll be able to kill them or a swap on healer or whatever. but with that being said, a good shadowplay is almost unbeatable, just look at C9.
You dont play defensive against a lock. you plow it into the floor with massive pressure and instantly kill it if it makes even one mistake with trinket /positioning / its mobility options
Mindgames isn’t a Warlock spell though, that’s a combo between two specific classes. Although I do agree that UA dispel damage and perma 50% slow is ridiculous.

It’s completely busted and they will continue to downplay and act like it is not.

why are you dispelling UA? And what do you think Master of the Glaives does?
I swear it’s always “nerfs for thee but not for me.”

There are several instances where you need to dispel a target, and it just happens the target is under UA. There’s no excuse for UA hitting for 20k a crit.
MotG insn’t even taken because it’s on the same line as Fel Eruption and I’m not even playing a DH in Shadowlands.
Simply kick UA and you wont have to dispell it. You dont even bother to care that warlock toolkit is designed with UA in mind because IF AFFLICTION DOESNT HAVE UA PROTECTION THEN YOU CAN LITERALLY NEGATE ALL HIS ENTIRE TOOLKIT AND DAMAGE WITH DISPELL. Why would anyone play a class that has ZERO damage. lol what my guy, just what
MotG insn’t even taken because it’s on the same line as Fel Eruption and I’m not even playing a DH in Shadowlands.
So what you’re actually saying is that DH’s have such overpowered mobility and CC that they can go without the option of a 50% perma snare, but hey it’s so OP when other classes choose it.
aff warlock are by far the most thin class in the arena, if you see warlock streaming, you can see they kite so good, port so good, looks like so OP, but once caught by melee even once, they die in 1 sec
