Because every team's win condition against you is "Line of sight during infernal and win."
This spec isn't enjoyable.
This spec isn't cool.
This spec preys upon another players idiocy (which is starting to run out since everyone now knows how infernal works)
Lower Grimoire of Supremacy stack damage.
Increase baseline damage.
Give us a chance to kill a target outside of Infernal goes.
God this spec is bothersome.

Oh and it's not really a fun concept when you have to plan out twenty seconds ahead to burst and it's like sounding a friggin' alarm for everyone else. You're probably going to have to use conflag and DR your roots on two targets during this window anyways from havoc so when you do actually have to kill something you won't be able to root it until the last 8 seconds or so of infernal which will probably be countered by a warrior having spell reflect up, or cloak of shadows, or a kick god forbid you didn't wall just to get burst off, or a paralysis, or the long line of dumb things that can leave you bolt-less after rain of firing and breaking all the CC just to build shards.
Queue that scene from Downfall that everyone makes a meme out of with that guy from WWII that did a lot of bad things who if I mentioned would probably get me banned.

Because devs ran away with this whole class-fantasy of Destro being pigeonholed into dealing massively high numbers through Chaos Bolt and never understood that old adage of, "You can have too much of a good thing."
Does it feel satisfying landing 65K+ chaos bolts? Hell yeah it does.
Do I often get to land 65K+ chaos bolts. Uhhh, no it's like looting a legendary off a critter.

Destro plays the exact same as it did in Legion. It's just that instead of leaving the numbers where they needed to be they took it all off baseline bolt and dropped it all on Supremacy. Our burst damage in PVE is asinine. I tear through mythic 10 bosses with heroism a solid 5-6k higher than other DPS on the shorter fights. It evens out afterwards but yeah.
Not fun. It's overkill.

I just want incinerate to do damage again man

The thing is, why the hell would you ever play a destro lock instead of a balance druid?
Balance druid has a castable heal, 1 min wall, instant DoTs, undispellable ranged CC, stun/snare, ranged interrupt/silence, bear form, better armor, insane damage, and cannot be poly'd or snared.
Literally no reason to ever play a Warlock.

I play both, and I'm a much better Destro lock than boomkin, but boomkin is at least enjoyable. It's not nearly as frustrating as Destro and I can create pressure outside of incarn.
I remember Destro in cata. There was so much stuff to manage that it was pretty hard. Very rewarding. RIP
Play with a fire mage
Pretty hard to line chaos bolts on 1 side and greaters on the other side.

Thanks but I'm not hard stuck. I do play with one.
Sooooo many things about destro and locks in general should be baseline. Demonic circle/teleport and wall are two big ones that I can't believe you have to choose between.
I really hope WW becomes a thing in 8.1, would love to play my favorite comp: Destro/WW/MW.

Lol? No it wasn’t rewarding at all. If you did EVERYTHING right, you would at best do the same damage as a mage who pushed deep freeze and spammed ice lances into the kill target.
Wrath was rewarding. MoP was rewarding. Cata was a joke. Destro had complex gameplay with zero payoff compared just playing a caster that pushed 2 buttons for their burst.

Ya I leveled a Destro lock almost first thing in cata and remember how fun it was. I don’t remember facing any in arena though so you’re probably right
I remember that they had a lot of talents tied to their imp so it was hard to use other pets

Ive been playing some RLS with the boys and yes outside of dark soul infernal im really just a CC bot for the rogue on his kidneys. triple dotting and snagging some casts makes your numbers look alright but chaos bolt has no OOMF no slap outside of cds its gross
Edit: im also tired of being mowed down by 1600 turbos because im taking like 25k damage per second anytime they connect and they have braindead grounding totem now
