So far I’m loving most of the changes to Affliction (aside from Malefic Grasp tied to Darkglare). Dark Harvest and Unstable Affliction, however, have some impact issues.
Dark Harvest at present does not have any sound effects. I’d like to assume this is not intended. We go with applying our DoTs and spending shards then channel Dark Harvest and - silence. No sound. We are doing massive damage during this time but no sound to imply that. I really hope this gets fixed by Midnight because it’s one of our biggest abilities and to not have any sound effects on it feels terrible.
UA is in a similar place, but visually. I think it looks fine for what it is, but when we add more stacks we should see some sort of “upgrade” visually. You may suggest just stacking the animation so we see more shadowy bolts swirling around the target. I personally think the original animation should get bigger and change color to more black accents. Something visually that we can see our UA is powered up and doing more damage. I’d really like to see making single target feel more impactful.
Note, there is a similar topic in US forums which I mostly recopied here too.
