Affliction seems parse better even with Nerf
Want to here your thoughts

Probably destruction but it depends on the fight

Destruction for burst damage, Affliction for steady damage, but you have to be well aware of your rotation and keep your dots up.
Idk why people are giving you differing answers that are just wrong when the data exists. In current raid other than soul hunters, it’s 100% Destro.
In M+, hellcaller destro for high keys, demo is also performing very well for any key level.
This is a data-driven response and does not take into account “play what you want.” Obviously that should be priority, and if you’re not pushing the hardest of content, all three lock specs are more than fine.
It’s 100% destro including soul hunters, and it’s not close if you look at stats.
Caveat with a lot of these stats though: pretty much every strong player is mimicing what the rwf guilds did still, and you’ll see some diversity coming up. As somebody that has been playing aff at like a top 40 world ish pace (guild prog), I’ve been the first aff parses on a couple fights, and it’s not as bad as people say.
I also think demo will see some branching out once the mid tier guilds reach the later fights – I think demo is as good as the other two specs on nexus king mythic for example, it’s just that nobody played it originally because of bugs.
Anything below like boss 4 on mythic though, you can literally play whatever you want, and whatever you’re good at, it really doesn’t matter to complete the bosses atm. Even up to about fractillus on mythic, this raid tier has been almost heroic+ after they nerfed forgeweaver, instead of feeling like true mythic.
Ahh is Destro beatin aff now on it? Well yeah then even more so.
