Same thing with hunters and their oversized pets.
If a hunter feign deaths in the middle of that sh… I am almost dead by the time I get him as my target again ffs
While i dont like Demo at all and think it should be made into a PvE spec n have affliction n destro as the PvP specs, people complain about those two specs aswell. No ones seen or heard from an affliction lock since DF started and Destro was put in the coffin with the endless stream of nerfs to the point where demo is once again the only viable lock spec n now people complain about demo.
One of the big reasons Demo is the only viable CASTER in the game atm is because ret palas hardcounters every caster reliant on debuffs to full on extinction. Any class that is currently viable in arena has synergy with ret palas. What does ret palas lack to be the perfect do it all spec? An MS effect. Look on the class representation n see what all classes played has in common.
I dont like demo one bit, i dont like playing it n i dont like playing against it but i dont blame people for playing it in a meta like this. Summoning tons of demons is how the class plays, most demo lock players would likely prefer having metamorphis back but currently the spec is what it is. We cant nerf features about other classes you find annoying.
This is the truth, but we won’t get it back. This will never happen, because of they would do this. They would tell us that the summoner style was a failure.
Affliction isn’t that bad in pvp, damage is great if you can cast in between the “kiting”.
I played affliction for weeks now, switching back to demo. But playing affliction was a good choice, nice experience.
Everything is “playable” per say, i played fury instead of arms on my warrior just to avoid being a hypocrite with fotm reroll since arms is overtoned. That being said affliction gameplay is quite terrible currently whenever you get into a tripple melee lobby, which is alot of the times.
I dont fundamentally hate the idea of a summoner style demo lock, you could argue its even more lore accurate than the metamorphis demo locks were, that being said i dont see why they cant have both in the game, afterall that was the perpose of the new talent system no? to add multiple playstyles into the same specs? Adding metamorphis as an alternative to one of the milestone talents for example. Although i actually think the demo tree is quite solid, destro tree is the biggest dumpsterfire out of all talent trees where everything looks like it was slapped together 3 minutes before release since everything is 2 talent nodes removing all options entirely.
Affliction tree is alright but it puts way too much focus on malefic rapture, an ability alot of people would like to see completely removed. Affliction should have the best dots in the entire game by far n the playstyle revolving around dots, aoe preasure and drains. Something the current version of affliction fails at miserably. Affliction just has not aged all that well. Too many classes has access to aoe preasure permanently baked into their kit just from existing, something that in the past was quite rare.

Affliction has two pvp talents which every PvE player wants. Rapid Contagion and Rampant Affliction. If they would change MR to function like UA in bfa, that would allow Affliction more pressure in ST.
Another idea is remove Shadowbolt and make drain Soul the baseline filler. Replace the talent with malefic grasp, which combines Drain Soul and Drain Life into one spell.
I was always happy if I won 2 to 3 rounds in a melee lobby.
I only like about the pet style that you don’t loose dps when you cast fear of Shadowfury. But i still don’t understand why they didn’t have the option to chose between Tyrant and metamorphosis.
