just watched a video Kalamazi put out today talking about how hellcaller’s wither now has an internal cooldown which not only bricks hellcaller but slaughters destro even more just pushing it further and further down the dps list. really terrible for aff as well

blizzard… come on guys. surely this is unintended right? anyway just wanted to make a post mentioning it in the hopes more people will talk about it and blizzard will change/fix this (and buff destro? lol)
It would make me think of a bug, which would be stacked among the impressive array of bugs in the class. But after seeing that the diabolist ritual also underwent the same treatment as the 5-second internal CD, I lean towards the stealth nerf… 3 days before the start of the season.
Without saying a word as if they were children stealing jam from the cupboard hoping that their mother doesn’t notice. Two hero talents already with big problems between bugs and poor damage that have been slaughtered even more and without any compensation.
I’m forced to play affliction soul harvester, but since people complain about shadowbolts (which don’t require a short setup and a proc and a crit) I expect that soon they’ll remove this thing too, and then I’ll be able to freeze the account waiting for them to get serious again
I dont get this silence every time. Obviously someone at Blizzard is at work posting things on twitter but they cant find 5 seconds to post blue post about important stuf?? Jessus, stop asking which zone we like the most and actualy answer question every warlock is desperately asking.
exactly. I was doing that before Tww. I play warlock since Wotlk and never switched. But now i dont know. mages are just unfair. We lost knock back and they got knockback. For example.
As Kalamzi explained in the video, the problem is really the fact this is totally undocumented and less than 72 hours before the S1 starts…
Added on top of that the silence from Blizz is just annoying. It would take them 5 mins to let us know this is a bug and will be fixed on Tuesday…
To be honest this kills the class entirely, aff was really fun to play, now this is totally crap … I tested it and it is a loss of 250k DPS in average which is way to much if we were considered top tier class , if we were indeed considered too high in DPS there are other ways to nerf us and just decrease damage as oppose to kill our rotations…
Can at least someone from blizzard confirm if this is intented or not ??
This silent thing was alway problem for Blizz. It takes too long for them to reaspond. I must say the improved a lot in last 2 years but this they have to work on.
I’m following the discussion, I honestly don’t understand two things: making such a sensational stealth nerf without knowing that it will be known, and not having had any damage compensation in other spells
Started leveling my lock right after these changes and was super confused by wither not stacking when spending soul shards as it was described in the tooltip. At least now I now it’s not me
This was an unintended change and a fix for it has been deployed.
The original change was intended to prevent Vile Taint from activating Blackened Soul for every enemy it affects by providing a small enough internal cooldown that would have no effect on gameplay.
im first time reconsidering changing my main (this never happened)
