Warlock players are really feeling the frustration right now, especially with Demonology and Destruction underperforming. Affliction is only slightly above average, and even that’s debatable, especially in Mythic+ content. And with the next big patch coming up, where many classes are seeing buffs and changes, all we get is a bug fix for Diabolist? It’s unreal.
Demonology and Destruction aren’t even close to being viable in higher Mythic+ keys. It’s hard to keep up with other classes, and both specs are lagging far behind in damage and utility. It feels like we’re being left behind while others get the attention and power they need to stay competitive. At the very least, Demo and Destro need buffs to be on par with other classes—they’re just not cutting it in dungeons.
As for raiding, the situation is even worse. Warlocks seem to be brought along for utility like Healthstones and Demonic Gateway rather than their damage potential. All three Warlock specs are performing poorly in raids, with no real place to shine. It’s disappointing to feel like we’re reduced to a support role when we should be a solid DPS class.
Warlocks desperately need some attention and love. We need buffs that help Demonology and Destruction in Mythic+ and improvements across the board for raiding. It’s rough playing a class that feels like it’s been forgotten.
