Full versa affli can’t tank now all that damage from feral, sham, dk, pal etc.
how to play in this season?
100% games i am a target. spend cd = dead. 1 min games.
sham - 0 cast - top dmg.
pal - 3 million immunity - heal like a God, shields, and freedom which makes your ports and Jinx useless
udk - with his dmg? 3-4m dps in every game while i have 1-1.5…
Dead spec. Thank you Blizzard

Unfortunately, affliction is only good when used in certain pvp contexts and with specific setups, and it’s a very susceptible spec in this regard. Solo shuffles are a disaster for me—it’s not impossible to win, mind you, but it’s incredibly stressful.
In blitz/rated battles, it’s an excellent and fun spec; in arena, you need to go with a good rogue. Unfortunately, Affliction has too many weaknesses and doesn’t fully fit the concept of Affliction itself. The lack of inevitable demise was reckless, and simply removing the synergy with Soul Rot.
The real problem is that they should improve the defensive who are too prone to dampening and mortal strike effects. A SB+HS in shuffle with mortal strike after a while is practically useless, the health doesn’t move… Soulburn+HS shouldn’t be affected by mortal strikes, but healing should be a 10-second HOT. DOTs should be back to being very damaging.
But the thing that bothers me the most is the fact that against melee, Jinx COE is OFTEN USELESS, you lose the shard and the global. I don’t understand why a slowdown that has to defend against those who are always glued to you should almost never work, while it always works against casters
