Ok call Holinka,
We start the project management team for the afflcition warlock spec redesign next week. I have got to go !
Just kidding… 
But I swear, If they can’t figure it out, someday I will just send it in PDF format with professional editing and all, right to their front door.
fix this f class.
People kicking me while i’m running and still win.
Dude ! This is what 2K warriors are like ?
They pummel the air
Spell reflect randomly
Press Stormbolt charge on CD
Holy S*** my eyes are bleeding
yeap and winning vs one of the top locks currently.
Our class is fine.
just give lock soul link and legion’s gcd reduction and its fixed
Do you really want soul link on a pet that dies in 2 globals? I agree we need some love in the defensive deparment, just not that…
It is true that pets die super easily this time. It is the same for hunters or so I have heard. The summoning cast animation is very long too.
In the end, we simply need a way to passively mitigate damage… such a thing has always been part of our kit and it should be returned 
It is not that bad if it is not tied to our demons.
I defended Soul link, but right now i just say.
Demon armor - 20% damage reduction, 5% hp increase,5% healing taken increased
There is one class worse than DK that I can defeat as a DK and I usually target and that’s Warlock. We need buffs!
Depends on the pet. Especially Clefthoofs with their extra armor and healing received buff + leech they are quite meaty… imo i had less survivability problems with bm pets than with any lock spec, but yeah even the best hunter pets aren’t super tanky now.
Also, Hunters have a more reliable way of healing their pets. As a Warlock you are killing yourself to heal your pet and even a full cast of healt funnel wont get Felguard to full HP.
True that, it also heals faster than hunter but at a great cost.
The whole class is outdated, and literally does not function
Blizzard clearly designed it to be a class for masochistic low self-esteem emos
Just make another class
Blizzard put zero thoughts in warlocks, we are afterthought not a well thought/well designed class. Our strenght comes from the suprise numbers, yeah we may have good numbers…but for fel sake numbers are not everything.
wdym i love losing to warriors/wws who just tunnel me the entire game with my healer spamming me 24/7 with no cc on him.
we’re playing hpriest/affliction which is trash ik but still like as soon as gates open i feel like i’m always dying vs these 2 melees.
this is at 1.8 too where all warriors reflect is curse of weakness, miss spears of bastion and wws just legit sit on you the whole game.
idk, it’s super frustrating, i legit can’t do crap vs ww/arms.
Warriors i can manage cause most are so bad they should be ashamed to queue. Now ww’s, that is a different beast, i can lose to really really bad ones.
Blizzard is doubling down on Damage buffs for affliction :
Warlock
Affliction
- Focused Malignancy (Conduit) will now provide its damage increase when selecting the Rampant Afflictions talent.
Source : MMO Champion
It means : More damage tied to melefic rapture if you end up playing with this as a second DPS conduit in pvp. The mandatory conduit still being Agony duration increase.
It is more of a bug fix than anything though.
But it does not feel very healthy for the game. Affliction already does a lot of damage if it isn’t perma-locked on shadow. Yet it will still flop when anything connects with damage abilities.
I am waiting for a couple of weekly patch resets, but my hopes are not high.
dont forget that corruption that came back for demo and destro, is the same as 1st rank in vanilla wow without the talent to making it instand, plus We players asked for spells back, they gave us some !! to fill the spellbook and stay there for no reason.
Ion for president, or to be hanged from a tree while he burns on my locks immolate. You make the choice, ive definetly made mine.
Need to increase armor to point physical mitigation goes up from 7% to 20% base line …
Soul link could definitely be a step forward. I do feel bad for how pitiful lock survivability is. And it’s not like they have any mobility outside of portal/gate
I do think a huge portion of the problem though comes down to how bursty the current meta is as well.
