You guys decided to remove a spell from Affliction warlock, which is in the game since 1.0.
So please if you want to delete all the casters remove the balancedruid 125% armor too, cause its unfair, that you dont know how you balanceing the game .
Guys, you remove a spell that have 10% stamina + 160% armor.
You increase a spell Which has 10% stamina with 10% plus stamina.
OK… delete the class Warlock, cause its full useless …
jesus
Delete the balance armor increase. You hate warlocks…
they dont hate warlocks, they just dont know whats going on. the devs dont play the game. only raid encounters because rwf = $$$
You get 10% more hp baseline and another pvp talent to choose from. This not gonna be end of the world.
The armor gave hp and armor, warlocks are just going to drain their own healers mana as a melee cleave chews and spits out the warlock on reset.
The set+trinket nerf was already pretty hefty but removing armor on top of that?
It’s basically a nerf against warriors, outlaw rogue, ww and hunters. These classes isn’t that common to see together. Rest either deal magic dmg or bleed dmg. It’s a buff against ret for example. You get more hp and a new pvp talent for free.
I honestly don’t think this change is that big of a deal as locks makes it out to be. Trinket nerf is bigger for locks than their actual lock changes.
sadly 10% hp won’t really do anything to help affliction when it already gets demolished by melees in 3s, the armor nerf outweighs that massively.
Agreed. take all armor buffs from all casters would make it more fair
I do believe that most of the times you’d still want the armor, even if the enemy comp only has 1 of those classes. And there are a bunch of combinations that you can see on the ladder, including but not limited to PHP, turbo, thug, ret+warr, jungle, TWD, kitty, WW+DH etc.
Since the HP increase was already on the Demon Armor, then there’s no buff to be had there.
I will admit I forgot the hp part of demon skin. But I’m still pretty sure that the trinket change is a bigger hit than the actual class changes.
Most likely, but the armor removal probably doesn’t help on top of that
Imo +1 pvp talent does nothing or atleast i never felt need for more talents. Actually i have no idea what talent i’m going to pick instead of demon armor - maybe shadow rift so i have a win condition in form of wow errors? Also imo the trinket nerf doesn’t matter too much cos imo in most cases you dont want to use it anyway.
Well i remember times when we had no demon armor and this change itself makes me to reroll to tbc.
What about the new one coming?
I dunno what blizzard is doing but removing 17% of physical damage reduction don’t feel too good, we died in 5 sec stun with wall on from ww monks, died to warrior 3 sec stun, hitting 30k executes, auto dying to BM hunters pet pve damage, dying to feral berserk damage in 3 sec stun, dying to sub or outlaw rogue damage in 1 kidney with dark pact or wall on. Just don’t get it why? Who tested it and decided to remove demon armour, who even consider this type of NERF? Ok destro too strong. Why affliction getting nerf? Hello?
Also the new talent, it proccs 1 shadowbolt every 20 sec, and shadowbolt does 2k damage, what a buff boys
And this PvP talent won’t be played at all in this game by any affliction player, unless they are really bad
Or they play necrolord which gives them a good 37k Shadowbolt crit with Decimating Bolt. Tested in solo shuffle today. Without a 100% proc chance.
But it is true warlock needs more survivability, my suggestion was Demon skin, Demon Armor and soul link baseline for all 3 specs
That doesn’t count. Tbc had cheat fel Armor that gave way too much.
After that blizz changed it and split into two situational armors, one Vs melees and one Vs casters. Would be cool if they added it as a baseline, that you are able to swap in fight.
The irony of a warlock talking about things being fair is apparently lost on many many people. You’ve been PvP raid bosses in the past, and can still tank a fair amount of damage while criting people for huge numbers depending on spec but you have the audacity to talk about fair.
Warlocks crying made my day. You had enough fun 1500 warlocks now on 2,4K cause this class is so disgusting op.
Only destruction is op. And even with the nerf it will reign supreme as warlock spec. I will keep playing either demo or Affliction which feels better for me.
But necrolord Affliction has also a good amount of burst. The Resolve nerf was not a kill to casters, in previous addons we didn’t had that.
But i think removeing Demon armor from Affliction was a bad idea, instead they should buff the survivability of Affliction so the dot dmg has time to Ramp up.
