DHs? I thought they are dumpster tier atm.
First uh dk, then affli lock.
Just joined my first blitz. 2 uh dks literally made the match unplayable for everyone. Unending slows and pulls. What a stupid spec design !

They will scale or get buffed anyway. Their whole existence should not be allowed. Not sure if you noticed but main issue this game has is class design and Broken toolkits, blizz can buff/nerf numbers however as long as long as class x has some disgusting design i’ll be hating it. Same goes for demo lock, rogues overall for example.
Yes maybe if dks did 0 dmg and noone played them then yes i would never hate their design as long as i would not face them cos i cba however at the same them when i’m bored why not mention dhs who will become broken at some point for sure.
Aye. I’m just waiting for the moment Batmans will be back. I was just surprised you mentioned them now.
I’d say Rogues are already there.

So basically remove all classes that you dont like, because you can’t play against them.
Not remove just make them bearable?
exactly, warlock currently isnt as tanky as it was in df, he have to use his port now, and cant facetank u anymore “which is good balance”
just the shadowbolt pressure is out of line.
it´s always like this in df if was feral because of clone.
they will come out of their caves sooner than you think, uga booga
Granted both the classes i currently play ( unholy n fury ) are just as overtoned as affli n does quite well into locks in general at that but i do indeed not find lock to be particularly tanky, if they´re unsupported ill run them down in seconds. The issue is when they are supported n you cant even get to them.
The way affli currently plays is also exessively toxic. the haunt+insta shadowbolt combo does disgusting amonts of damage n they can apperently have multiple stacks of nightfall aswell so haunt-insta shadowbolt - insta shadowbolt n suddenly you lost 50-60% of your health.
It’s gone soon. People will probably reroll Wither.
I dont know how severe those nerfs will be in but it looks quite substantial, They also nerfed wither by 10%, likely in anticipation of this. I for one would rather go back to affli being a damn dot spec rather than it randomly oneshotting so it might be a good thing if wither becomes the new meta.
They buffed UA as well. So people will invest more into UA buffing talents and Hellcaller actually buffs it more. Soul Harvester is only taken for Shadow Bolts. The main issue is that the hero talent buffs Shadow Bolt damage by 20% and Nightfall damage (instant Shadow Bolt) by 50%. While for Demo first part is for Hand of Guldan and 2nd for instant Demon Bolts.
Granted i´ve only played against soul harvesters, n by the pope has there been alot of them lately but the damage breakdown suggests dots make up a comedically small amont of their total damage output so i dont see UA buff as a big threat. From my observation its literarelly just malefic n shadowbolt that makes up about 80% of their damage profile.
The summoning of the darkglare also does ungodly damage first on arrival n then continues to absolutely spam demolish anyone with dots on them so that abomination might need some tweaking too. Thats burst damage though, chances are they´ll need significant dot buffs to stay viable if all their big damage is toned down.
I’m also fine with the fact that the affliction soul harvester’s burst was laid down, although the shadowbolt instant over a million requires a setup that isn’t too short and a critical hit.
But as usual, where is the compensation? Drain Life is totally useless and has taken its place alongside ritual of doom and corruption for destruction and demonology, dots don’t do damage to put pressure.
The thing I don’t understand is how some classes and specializations in particular haven’t been touched at all despite them being much worse than a shadow bolt instant

Dark Pact is a defensive cooldown but somehow shows up here as healing. Should not include it in your calculation of self-healing.
Because people skipped UA talents in Affliction tree. People will invest more into Mastery and these talents so it will be more “classic” affliction. Langneur on his Satanxoxo already gears this way.

I don’t think there is a world out there where Locks will prio Mastery over Haste or Versa. I don’t play much Lock these days but I watch a few good Lock players like Infernion, Darkroth etc. and never ever saw them focus on Mastery instead of Haste/Versa.
Currently the best Affliction Lock EU is Langneur.

Till today he was the first Affli in the ladder. That’s how he gears up bro. He always played mix of Haste/Mastery because if you go deep Haste you get more Shadow Bolt procs. Mastery buffs your dots. So either he expected Shadow Bolt nerf (I mean who wouldn’t) and already geared for the Wednesday or basically he just prefers this gameplay. Guy is an absolute menace on Affli and diffs most other Affliction Warlocks quite often.

1m(strongest warlock’s defensive) is broken in 3 seconds of being applied
