I dont quit patches or even expansions. I quit because the very conduit through which i experience the game keeps getting picked on while Havok, WW, Guardian and Fury keeps being allowed to go un-effing touched. This. This is the BS that makes me quit.

Are you really sad for a small slap on the wrist?
Its not even a damage nerf, come on.
You get 20% more stamina than everyone else, 45sec cd Dark Pact that’s bigger than 2min cds.
You’ll be fine my sweet summer child.

Bro its not about the effing amount. Whether it was big or small. You keep nipping away at this class with these stupid changes while leaving broken AF classes like DH, Druid, WW and Fury alone, and you got a crap expansion for many of us.
Slap on the wrist. How many slaps will it be before our hand is cut off?

I am more annoyed that this basically makes afflictions soul tap talent very questionable.
I think you legit only take the talent for full soul shards pre-pull and ignore it the rest of the fight now. Too bad the rest of afflictions talent tree is in such a horrid spot there really isn’t anything else you’d take.

God i forgot about soul tap. Great.
IT’s sad i know, but i’m glad i shelved affliction for the time being when it comes to pve. First we got every ounce of DPS squeezed out of the main tree, now slowly they take back the durability they give us…
weeeeee

Bullpoop, I don’t take it at all personally. I see no use for soul tap right now.
the only thing good about warlocks was survivarbility, now they add an extra 50% nerf, gg.

I play Blood DK. Also, Fury is broken AF.
you aren’t missing much. It’s still bugged and not always granting a soul shard but still consumes the shield value… 
still wondering where the hell are the caps for 5 targets or more on other classes abelites since blizzard is so trigger happy with locks to cap dreadstalkers into this …
if it isn’t one thing it’s another… i’m just starting to run dungeons now at max lvl and some meele just pop off huge cleaves like it’s no ones’ business…
Not sure if you PvP at all, but wait until you see Fury and DH heals and damage. Oh, and a WW literally 2 shotting you. OR, the best, tanks topping damage and healing in BGs. Blizz is seriously useless.

The sad part is that destro is eating this nerf even though it’s YOUR SPEC which is the reason we’re being nerfed.
Destro isn’t in the best spot offensively, it’s fine defensively but we significantly rely more on soul leech, dark pact, and other defensive passives/abilities because we don’t have the opportunity to continually kite. We have to stand still for the vast majority of our offensive kit. Meanwhile you also have powerful offensive use of drain life which can be coupled with the many drain life talents. Drain life to destro is pretty much a last resort when there is nothing left.
Aff lock is giga busted, it needed the nerf, but destro is getting swept in with it and this will likely continue the entire expansion.
All spellcasters are getting shafted this expansion. I had four ready to go (Warlock, Mage, Shaman, and Evoker) and none of them are good in the PvP department. My first pick for melee, Death Knight is on the chopping block next weekly reset. Magic users just can’t catch a break.

DF PvE is also terrible for casters.
The amount of “move” mechanics in M+ and raid is insane. Melee uptime is now double that of ranged because casters can’t get a spell off before they have to move.

Where is it busted? PvP? Then blizzard should have nerfed it for pvp only.
yes omg these dungeons are so brutal on casters. i don’t mind movement mechanics but in every dungeon the movement mechanics are just constant enough so that you either cancel your cast and move or just face tank the damage, and even when you do get a chance to actually cast something it gets disrupted by a shout or knockback or something.
it’s pretty rough
