Destruction needs buffs

Classes Warlock

I re-rolled to warlock from hunter as hunter damage is terrible and it never gets any changes, but strangely warlock has only 2 specs in the top 5 dps in the current raid. I heard that Warlock class devs actually listen to feedback and always keep them top of dps, even with the insane utility they provide. Whilst this is true for demonology, which is the best dps spec in the game by far, the other 2 specs need to also be in the top 3.

Destruction is the worst warlock spec, and is of course still above all hunter specs, but is only middle of the table. This is not acceptable for people like myself that expected to be playing the best class.

I attached the latest warcraft logs screenshot.

95th Percentile DPS

Actually, hunter is in a slightly better spot than warlock atm. Among the top 644 top m+ dpsers there are:
14 hunters (7 surv + 6 bm + 1 mm)
13 warlocks (9 destro + 4 demo + 0 affli)

This makes hunters the 3rd-worst dps, and warlock the 2nd-worst dps in the game. Dps DK being the worst.

That’s just 644 people though. And I was talking about raiding overall, not M+. I never even mentioned M+, hence the link I posted.

Your toon has 400 ilvl and you havent stepped into a raid once. On what basis are you saying that warlock is garbanzo in a raid in terms of dps?

It does but it is currently the best warlock PvE spec anyway.

i love my destro :slight_smile:
even though he is 20 ilev lower than my hunter, he sim’s more.
only downside is cast time, but he does quite a bit more damage than my hunter.
But bm hunters are also at the bottom of dps, as they have been throughout DF
