You cannot expect players to use an ability with cast time that does almost no damage and has zero synergy with our toolkit. It feels so bad to use an active ability that has no impact on your performance.
Either make it a passive AOE effect or buff it so you can actually see a difference whether you use it or not. Or just delete it… we don’t really need useless talents.
I was thinking about it and what if they replace it with the pvp talent call observer (Anytime an enemy within 20 yards casts a harmful magical spell, the Observer will deal up to 5% of the target’s maximum health in Shadow damage.). Could be fun in late M+.
Remove that whole (top tier) branch and replace it with Decimation bolt, next!
At this point I’d rather they replace both gaze and soulkeeper with either Dark Soul cds or remove Grand Warlock’s Design from the spec trees and put it there instead.
Well i love soulburn ^^ However, it does not feel like a capstone talent.
I saw someone saying they should bring back doom guard and/or Inferno as summonable pets as capstone talents. I quite liked that idea.
Another idea was to put Grand Warlock Design as a capstone talent in the General warlock build. Maybe OP? But could be tweaked.
However, from an affli POV I quite liked the unnerfed PTR version of soulkeeper. We desperately need an AOE burst…
Soulburn is great, I am talking about Soulkeepr/Gaze and connected talents, Soulburn is right branch, replace mid
About lack of AoE burst: Yup, I could feel that in Mage tower.
It really shows bilzz have no idea what to use as the class capstones. They’re kinda useless, except in very niche situations (ooo a bigger Healthstone…yay).
I honestly cannot fathom why 3 of the shadowlands covenant abilities (with legendary effects - albeit reduced to not be OP) wasn’t used as the CLASS capstones.
Impending Catatrophe? Yeah I’d like to play with that in M+ fortified weeks!
Decimating bolt for ST encounters?
Soulrot as balanced between the two, buffing crit and haste for whatever purpose i like…combine with a pitlord, infernal, big seed spam, maybe to just push a phase, difficult set of adds in a high key.
So much potential.
The synergy was there and they’ve dumped it in the bin (I don’t even care if they changed the gfx, called it something else and pretended it was a brand new ability to make it warlock themed). Warlock gets faster drain life? Really? When DK gets abomination limb? 
I use soul burn to teleport around all the time. It is probably the only talent that I think is a decent capstone.
Yeah the whole class free is halfarsed design. The first pass on Alpha/Beta was better than this crap.
Yep, soulburn is great, not only for teleport, but combined with Drain life it is way stronger than I though, can save your life in PvP no joke.
