As a warlock tank, I’m using it.
It has more potential in P3 if datamining is correct and we get felguard.
In pvp deep aff is garbo. It needs shadow burn to get kills. The dots aren’t heavy enough by themselves for classes that have dispelled or heals.
I crit enough I think i’m better off with the flat 10% damage buff in PvE. In PvP for sure I am better off without the rune update. Averaging one proc every 40 seconds as affliction isn’t good. It procs half as often with imp for affliction as a destro lock. I can do some more experimentation with succ too, but the additional swing without destro talents I believe is only once every 12 seconds.
You can think that, but you are mathematically wrong. Grimoire of Synergy is the higher DPS rune now. That is just a fact.
For Fire sure but he’s playing Affliction and isn’t taking Improved Firebolt.
in pve, nightfall with shadow bolt volley is pretty gross in a good way.
I have been using it on PvP as demonology before the buff. The change feels very nice.
it’s cracked with PI
Sure thing. I understand the math, 25% damage 15 second out of every 40 is 9.4%. However there will also be fights where it is 0%. And fights were it is up more often too. I prefer a little more predictability over praying for procs.
I might have misunderstood. He said PvE, which would be destructions. There is no viable affliction spec for PvE atm, unfortunately.
Going for consistently lower DPS is an option. It is not the right option, but you have that freedom of choice.
No it doesn’t I’m doing quite well with deep affliction
Not sure if it’s your playstyle but it’s not garbage
Indeed for trash it’s insane
