Let’s go over the changes real quick.
A nice execute rune that makes soulfire free for enemies under 35% hp. Alright that’s not bad.
A rune that gives you 10 seconds of your armor applying to spells on a 60 second CD… What?? Who is this for? 10 seconds with a 60 second CD is not enough to do anything really in PvE.
A rune that makes after you use shadowburn you always crit with non period spells… again why? Since it costs a soul shard it’s still not going to be used.
Alright so down to general changes… Shadow Cleave now gives spell power if you have defense on an item, that’s neat. And demonic grace isn’t on the GCD. That’s super necessary.
That’s it. Everyone else has sweeping changes (Except priest). What the heck?
Warlock needs massive buffs. Tanklock looks DoA. None of the runes appear to really compliment it with the only real option being the soulfire.
Changes I’d like to suggest:
- Make Corruption a baseline instant cast. Just do it. Make the talent just do more damage
- Make Dance of the Wicked part of Metamorphosis’s kit.
- Make Shadow Cleave have an ability to where it deals more damage by the number of DoTs on a target. Make it an actual choice to go shadow or fire damage.
- Combine both parts of the drain life rune. It’s weird the chest slot has two parts that REALLY want to be combined into one.
- PROPERLY FIX LAKE OF FIRE. Make it a 4 second channel to get the benefit so dps locks can still use it.
