Remove darkglare, buff Aff dots by like 70-150%
return to the “insidious caster who relies on bursting often and quick” and make literally anything other than infernal our burst.
Demo, give meta glyph for tyrant, otherwise idk what else to do there, other then revert to MoP

From a Destro standpoint,
I wish they’d take all the useless talents/PvP talents and reinvent them or just make them not terrible. Make Soul Fire instant cast. Make Inferno have a 20% to gain a soul SHARD. Darkfury reduces the cd by 15s plus -.5s cast time. SOMETHING.
It’s always a huge, red flag when a talent has 0% game play from any of the player base.

Even without Darkglare, this would make affliction so OP every other class would be completely useless in comparison.

I would replace either DB or nightfall with Death’s EMbrace from Legion. Probably DB and add significant tuning to the other 2 talents to at least provide some variety between sustained damage and ramping execute
This is why I really miss the legendaries and the artifact weapon. The synergy between them (when you got the ones you wanted) was just really well implemented in the latter half of legion. Having the leggy ring / shoulders for destro was so clutch sometimes…

Actually it wouldn’t. Aff’s DoTs also require Haunt or Shadow Embrace and a UA to really do even their trash damage now. Between Haunt and UA you are looking at a 20% damage buff to DoTs on the target.
Which simultaneously makes the spec braindead because DoT damage is such crap that often using more than agony for additional shards is a stupid decision.
What they should do is buff Haunt to 15%, Buff UA’s damage taken bonus to 15% and lower Darkglare’s effect and CD equally.
Aff is like a ret pally right now.

Give us back the damage amp from drain soul and a slight bump on other numbers, adios deathbolt/darkglare. I’m not a fan of shadowbolt too much either.

Yeah, except OP said “buff dots”. That would include UA, haunt, siphon life, pretty much everything except deathbolt and shadowbolt. And the damage bonuses for UA and Haunt would be stacked ON TOP of that 70 - 150%. You’d have locks doing 40k+ single target damage.
is Haunt considered a dot? as it just has an initial hit and no DOT component to it is there
You’re right. I mispoke. Haunt wouldnt apply, just its effect.
Siphon life is garbage the way it is right now so, though buffing the leech to 50-80% could fix it right away
Be honest who actually uses this regularly
any afflock on a single target fight…?
I’m talkin both pvp and pve here
no idea on pvp but on pve yeah single target is SL
Well let me inform you then, NO BODY TAKES IT. It is udder feling trash in pvp
that does not surprise me in the least lol
It use to be top choice in legion till it slowly lost its good leech
Fixed that for ya.
P.s. I miss meta.

I have mained warlock since around Ulduar. I was like, ten, but I fell in love so fast with the fantasy of being a dark spellcaster. I loved DoTs, I loved random battlegrounds. I stuck with the class through Legion, taking breaks to play alts, but always going back to my first love.
But now…I’ve never had less fun playing warlock. The only reason I haven’t jumped ship is because my raid leader wants healthstones and gates for certain fights, and we can’t seem to recruit another warlock. The class is just so utterly boring that I’m seriously considering quitting raiding entirely.
