I’m not saying anything close to that. I’m saying if you choose a non S-tier spec, they should at least bring something to the table to justify that choice.
An example of this is havoc DH. If they aren’t top dps you would have reason to choose one because they bring a +5% magic debuff. That helps the group overall, even if the DH’s dps may not be top tier.
Affliction has no such utility or reason to bring them. They offer nothing to the group that you can’t get from destro or demo, AND destro and demo bring their own unique utility that affliction cannot access. Destro has Havoc and Demo has access to an extra stun.
Feel free to look up my main. His name is Ritualist
Never said it was, I simply said it’s worse than destro or demo, and it’s lagging behind significantly, which is a fact.
Yes, you can, currently working on that actually.
Nowhere did I say it wasn’t viable. Idk where you’re getting this. Perhaps reread my posts.
I also never said it needs to be OP. In fact I said I didn’t need it to be, I just want it to have something it can do well. Anything. Make it burst, spread cleave, sustain, I don’t care. Affliction has no strength. Perhaps if it did, it wouldn’t be so overshadowed by destro and demo.
Affliction is seriously lagging behind, its actual numbers and representation reflect this, and seeing how Blizz just massively buffed it on the PTR, they also seem agree.
