Your class was immortal throughout all the Legion. I didnt see ANY posts asking for balance back then:)
Rest one expansion, you will get ""fixed"" in the next one :"P


Wait wait... You cant just call affliction spec "Warlock class" we had destro and demo back then aswell, and both were total trash. Today, we face the same problem destro and demo being too much behind affliction.

They keep nerfing the infernal.. But not buffing any other spells... What do they aim? To make it even more trash?

I am pleasantly surprised to see that there are many others who feel warlocks have been in decline recently, I thought it might just be me and my guildy.

There should really be an increase in the general depth of the class imo, not simply balance changes involving damage buffs/nerfs. There should be more cc and survivability for pvpers, more interesting ways of doing dmg for pve’ers I think.

Just a small thing I would like to see return, if you remember back in maybe WoD or MoP it was the case that backdraft was a buff which didn’t operate via a charge system, but instead lasted a fixed amount of time. I think this made destro feel like it had more progression throughout the expansion, as haste increases, from improved gear, allowed you to fit more incinerate casts into that short backdraft window, whereas now you get 2 charges and then its over. Just my 2 cents.
