Cascading calamity and heart of darkness are now useless on PTR since you can´t cast UA more than once and corruption is gone, so those traits will not be chosen.
Maybe Pandemic Invocation?
Also take note that Inevitable Demise and Sudden Onset are now talents and I don´t think it will stack with their respective traits…
It won’t really matter.
Also i think some might be bugged, CC should work regardless, the description has nothing to do with how many UAs you can stack. ID stacks with the talent, because it’s a different effect, but it’s not consumed by Drain Life, it seems like a bug. SO still increases the damage of agony.
its worth pointing out that inevitable demise also no longer works because of the talent, even if you dont take the talent the trait doesnt work, you build up stacks but they are never used.
my guess is that you will just want to try and run SO or WB and if you can find them then go for the other generic stuff like rezan’s fury that kinda thing
Who cares? They will be replaced within few weeks. Chill out dude.
Because if I want to play m+ as affli I have to get the right azerite traits to be useful
You are not gonna be running SL’s M+ while still wearing azerite pieces. By the time you get to running M+, you will loot higher ilvl items… bruh.
Your heart of azeroth and subsequently your traits will be disabled once you enter Shadowlands. You will still be able to use them on Azeroth but I can’t see why you would need to, as the content you will be doing will not be on Azeroth anyway and also as the person above me said, your azerite gear would be obsolete in shadowlands M+. Not even for m0s would it be good
As the title says, I’m asking for the azerite traits during the prepatch, not in shadowlands
Mythic+ will be obsolete on prepatch so it still doesn’t matter.
thats not completely true, it wont matter when completeing content, but it will still have an impact on classes and people trying to decide what to play, take demon hunters for example they will still have access to furious gaze which will make the spec play a hell of a lot better than it would do in shadowlands.
they should be disabling azerite when pre patch launches the same as corruption. otherwise it will be problematic.
Think that prepatch last 4-6 weeks and during that time you have to gear the right azerites if you want to do m+
You completely missed my point. What I’m saying is:
Option 1. prepatch hits, you see which traits turn to crap because of the removal of corruptions for yourself through simming.
Option 2 : You wait 1-2-3 days for RIO to update and you check what top players are running for mythic+
Simple solution to your hardship. Mythic+ will be obsolete anyway, you are still free to try playing but your power will be severely diminished without corruption so expect to push at least -5 keys lower than usual
one of the main problems for affliction is that two of the traits that have been very good for us throughout the expansion are going to be literally useless and unusable once prepatch hits,
you will no longer be able to proc cascading calamity because you cannot apply a second UA to a target.
and inevitable demise is being turned into a talent, and regardless of if you take the talent or not you can gain the buff from the trait but if will never use them up when you cast drain life.
when 8.3 launched and ny’alotha they added the “BiS” traits to all azerite pieces, these generally being cascading calamity, so all of the azerite gear i have collected on the most recent patch will be garbage once prepatch hits because all of them have either casscading calamity, inevitable demise or a compeltely trash trait that does zero damage.
thats why there is a big problem with how azerite is working on pre patch, it should be getting removed exactly the same as corruption is, but i guess the devs are being lazy with it and not removing it for some reason
