This is my favorite argument to read from awful warlocks. IT TAKES ME 7 GLOBALS TO DO THAT. No, it takes you 4 globals to go Corruption → Agony → Phantom Sing → UA. But that doesnt even matter, it takes 1 cast to cause me to not want to dispel, what is this 7 mythical globals ur talkin about

Ah yes. Affliction and Demo aren’t allowed to do good in PvP because Destro kicked butt for ages. They also aren’t allowed to be good in raids because Destro.
They also aren’t allowed to be good in M+ because f you, pick rogue, mage or Demon hunter. Perfect logic.

Sure. Can you now tell me how much damage a ret or sub rogue does in 4 free globals?
To make it easier for you: is it more or less than a UA dispel?
I’m trying my best to help you understand, but UA dispel MUST hit hard to compensate for the invested time and resources an affliction warlock uses to set up. You can’t spend “””””4””””” globals and in return the enemy dispels 100% of your pressure in half a second for a 10% damage hit. Do you not see how ludicrous that is?

Right now? 150-200% of a geared player’s healthbar…
Utilizing two edge cases to attempt to make a case for UA damage doing 50% of an HP bar is stupid, and so are you for attempting the argument.
No one thinks ret is fine on live, ty.
You don’t spend 4 globals to get UA up, you cast for 1.2 seconds. That is not difficult to get out. Side note, it’s not “10% only” its got an additional component of a silence with it as well.
No healer is dispelling all of your pressure either, you are dotting multiple players assuming you play the game with both hands.

When was Demo not good?
This. Ret is obvs busted on live and no one will deny that. The mental gymnastics Warlock players are going through to justify UA is pretty hilarious though.

Always? Destro has pretty much always been better for like all content, since the MoP/WoD Gutting. Possibly some time frame where it did better than the others for a bit, but as far as I can remember its always been aff and destro.
I just wish the spec had more instant casts, it feels like a dot spec that has 1-2 second cast times on every dot. And the dots can be killed by any class, or just AOE ccd.
imagine if u could dispel execution sentence but if u did it it would kill u and if it didn’t u would be silenced at 6% hp but there is another execution sentence happening on u in the next couple of seconds even tho ur in a different neighborhood

I just want to play afffff
What does UA dispel damage have to do with a talented 2 min CD being purgeable by baseline 0 CD skills?
And to elaborate your biased scenario, the Warlock must use DS (talent and purgeable), the UA must be dispelled instead of mitigated, and 50% HP only happened on crits (low chance) because it was hitting for around 25% HP on Beta.
So, you are comparing all this setup of talent + casting + RNG crit to a press of 1 purge button to dispel Daksoul? Less bias please, don’t be obtuse.
No your ability to understand two different scenarios is just poor. Both are stupid, neither is okay. Attempt to use the giga brain required of aff locks to read a bit better.

I saw 10k noncrits pre nerf only on Gladiator Warlocks like Maldiva, Dakkroth and Chanimals, with their ilvl 130+ gear, and they have around 25K HP. You can’t really compare ilvl 115 to ilvl 130, it’s disproportional.
After the nerf, it’s around 5k.
Yeah, hard to take you seriously with this level of argument. Reminder: Destro ≠ Affliction/Demo
Destro being better doesn’t make Demo not good…

You say both are stupid, but you implied it was ok for Darksoul being dispellable “because UA backlash is too strong” (???). It’s an incoherent “argument” (if we can it that way), but that’s what you chose.
Way to contradict yourself and look stupid.
Please figure out the english language and come back to me. I’m not going to sit here and teach it to you. In fact, I’m unsure why I’m even arguing with the guy who said MD removes agony.
Nice empty answer. Yeah, keep insisting on my mixed up answer about Agony after writing so many posts in sequence with similar answers and multiple tabs open.
Hold tightly on my typo, it’s the only thing you have going in your favor. Doesn’t make your answers any less incoherent and stupid tough.
Can’t argue with a guy who’s brain lets him think MD dispels agony and used it + agony ramp time to make an argument for why someone should die from 50%

No it having a million hard casts where every class can interact with its dots and any aoe CC means its not good.
