I tried playing Affliction today

The class rework is garbage. The specialization is 10 expansions late, everything from the gameplay to the toolkit is obsolete.
This feels like playing with TBC class design vs. everyone else with MoP class design.

People who somehow make it work: how and why?

Just doing dmg and dotting everything and hoping people are not stupid enough to grief you with constant spam of abilities which wipe your dots. And then you kite trying to survive long enough that dampen gets high enough. I got 2300 on affli and I wont play it more, like every other warlock design its garbage and its not fun to play in arena or blitz.

Warlock as whole is bad class that needs complete rework in general. You play any spec from warlock and it feels like a lot of effort for little return. Look at DH and Evoker zoomers flying around with imba class designs. Wish more ppl would quit their locks and blizz would realise they need to do some changes when numbers go even lower than they already are. Its just not worth it play lock in midnight. I’m sorry brother.

It’s just obsolete.

If they truly want Warlocks to be a “turret caster”, then it needs more ways to make all the hardcasting unstoppable. The spec doesn’t work outside of Precog windows and even that is very little breathing room.

It feels suffocating to play.

You should try playing warrior and talking about arms spec. Same old gameplay from wotlk . Slow old no defensives apart from kinda okay damage (?)
