Affliction as a whole needs a revamp, the entire play style of the spec just seems clunky and weird right now. However ua backlash damage/silence needs immediate attention. Its suppose to protect our dots from being dispelled and its literally being spam dispelled by healers the entire game. I qued some ele/affy the other day and we qued three games each game the enemy healer had 20+ ua dispels wiping my damage completely out.
Im not saying it needs to be one shotting people however healers shouldnt be able to spam dispel this either with no real threat to themselves or their team.

if a healer can easily dispel your dots with no worry then your team is playing the aff lock comp incorrectly. But yeah I agree aff needs a rework.
I laugh when people dispel mine because it hits them for at least 1/3 of their HP pool.
Certain healers are better at dispelling than others. Hpriest, rdruid and rsham are pretty good into aff. Hpal gets eaten tho
maybe you shouldn’t voluntarily play a spec whose dmg revolves around getting 1 cast to complete a row of debuffs that you expect to win the game for you
You’re misplaying horribly if a healer can spam dispel you all game.
The worst part about affliction is having your dots taken off by your own teammate. Would be a rough spec to main tbh.

affliction warlock needs something i would hate to play one
What if the UA backlash had a mana burn effect?
It does. It’s called having to heal up the damage you took from dispelling it + the damage that went through during the silence.
