The newest PvP tuning is great, but where is Demo?
I swear the spec is literally a menace for everyone, promotes afk gameplay passively dying to pets and is very, very hard to kill.
Could get a similar but smaller nerf to Soul Leech for Affliction, as it has become quite difficult to kill as well compared to last season.
Soul leech shield (healing) is based off the damage you deal as any kind of Warlock. Demo and Affli have a lot of passive neverending damage, while Destro has to actually cast this season as the instants don’t really do too much damage.
Suggesting that Soul Leeech is nerfed for Demo and it’s Pets specifically by at least 40%. Feels like the Felguard permanently has cocoon on itself and the Warlock is doing 60% of his healer’s total healing each game.

While i think lock should be moderately tanky i really dont want to see another demo meta, so far i havent encountered many locks at all i just see an endless stream of DH´s, DK´s, rets, WW´s and arms warriors n currently the statistics arent suggesting demo to be doing particularly hot but perhaps its sleeper in which case burn it with fire.
As for soul leech, i believe that the healing done recap is missleading as its infact not the warlock himself reciving the shield for demo but rather the pet but it still counts as the warlocks “healing done”

That is because there are more healers playing than ranged. And melee like 3x more. Heck, DH has more players than every ranged class combined.
There is also no healers shortage when we have more healers than ranged playing. There are just WAY too many melees out there. That is the issue. And the reason is well known. Melee is too dominant vs casters (this includes healers, too) that are not a frost mage. Blizzard needs to fix this in the next expansion otherwise ranged will die out.
It says a lot when at the end of an expansion ranged classes are not played much but still melee like 3x more. Usually casters/ranged are way stronger at the end of an expansion. This says a lot how broken melee is in DF.

And Dark Pact also counts as healing done or did they changed that?
I guess demo will pop up when thr numbers of arms, ww, ret and dk reduces. Because those specs are counterplay demo.
Demo needs to be interrupted at the right time to deny a lot of damage.

What time is that considering it has almost demos level of cc
Im guilty of that myself, i´ve tried caster but its absolutely miserable especially with how many ways of interrupting there is in the game paired with the substantial mobility creep making. Playing caster into a tripple melee lobby is something i only did once n now you couldnt pay me to play that.
Then if you balance casters around being able to play in a tripple melee lobby without peels they´re going to dominate in premade games where they pick their teammates so theres just no solution to the problem either.
I do find the melees on the forum extremely whiney though calling it caster meta when we can easily look at playrate n see that there are 2-3x more melees being played etc.

Tell me you’re clueless about demo without telling me you’re clueless about demo

there 3 threads about demo and all the demos floating it and telling us no they get killed by meeles so easy alicexo some other guy named krypto or something
Tyrant needs to be delayed until dogs, Vilefiend and Summon Felguard drops. So they don’t get Empowered.
they need to only give demo 1 pet and tyrant and delete all others
And bring back metamorphosis. I’m totally with you, demo feels like Affliction with 3D dots and how tanky aff should be against melee.
Demo will be the best specc in the game next week
Demo doesn’t even have bad matchups.
You literally faceroll casters and you still do damage to melees even if you’re trained.
Sort of like Ele shaman, but at least Ele shaman needs line of sight to do damage.
Things like the Pet being able to stun you while the warlock is in CC, multiple MS applications of the felguard for your entire team and the baseline passive healing cause big issues.
The damage never really stops. You line him = pets soloing you behind pillar.
You go on him = neverending CC regardless if you’re melee or caster.
It’s just boring to face and the only people who will defend Demo are the players themselves.
wait untill alicexo tells u otherwise
destro had to cast every season.fact is destro and aff have a way higher death rate than demo .leave me alone loser melee i dont like u
you play for 2 seasons how do u know
It’s always like this, they nerf every overperforming spec except demo… And then we are back at the disgusting lock meta again, because now the melees aren’t able to keep them in check anymore.
Just delete demo as it is and make them turn into a demon form like it used to be, everyone hates playing against this new version. And why does it always have to be s tier when it’s the dumbest spec ingame?
dumbest spec in the game can only go to a melee or and hunter ofc.nice try
Nobody loves statistics more than I do but using them in the first week when I know many people that decided not to queue outside of capping until tuning doesn’t really say much. Demo is, as will further be shown over time and after these nerfs, the king of the casters…and comfortably.
