Soul Rot being a 30 second CD in DF has felt really good, with this availability going away in TWW, i have some ideas to maybe bring it back.
After testing Soul Harvester, affliction has BIG burst with its 1 minutes CDs, mainly soul rot with shadow of death. However, the feeling outside of these CDs feels really bad. So, my idea was to make soul rot 30 seconds baseline and tune demonic soul around that, and then make shadow of death work with vilefiend for demo instead of tyrant. Both of these talents are in the same spot for their trees and both would be 30 second CDs.
Having Soul Rot being 30 seconds would be enough to be able to maintain agonies in aoe with the malign omen talent. This would most definitely be the case if the “infirmity” talent made Vile taint 20 seconds and PS 30 seconds (since you currently just hold PS for the 1 minute mark). If VT was a 20 second CD and soul rot being 30, yes they dont align but with malign omen agony and VT can be extended, putting agony at 23 second duration.
Also, give us Cata baseline for destro, bring back flame rift and make rifts cleave like DF S3 bonus.
