What exactly are you confused about ?
Why are you guys arguing about something that has no source? Youāre literally fighting ghosts right now.
Even if this is proved to be a legit datamine, itās two phases ahead. Itās at least 3-4 months away.
I get it, a lot of people have no faith in the SoD team, but this is clearly either fake or a rough sketch from the devs.
It seems like theyāre extremely careful about not allowing Warlocks to do OP damage in PvP while keeping us in a decent spot in PvE
so much so that they have completely forsaken Affiction until lvl 60 where at least it looks liker they are trying
that said destro Warlocks are so limited by hardcasting in PvP they could just remove that extremely annoying rain of fire rune mechanic amplifing dmg in PvE ading it to somthing in the rotation and it would still not make any difrence in PvP outside of 1vs1 sukubus stuff and 2vs2 Arena if that was a thing in SoD
So what weāre left with is a working damage spec(destro) that, even if you use crit rune instead of sea fire and do slightly less damage, making it less annoying but still boring af
not even mentioning Tank spec which is even a bigger snooze fest, one button fun for everyone PvP and PvE

Yeah. Like theoretically. Warlocks deal the highest burst damage out of anyone in the game right now. We can consistently delete any class in the game if we are freecasting.
But like you said, going full destro in pvp is near unplayable since we are forced to hardcast 2-3s abilities. And it requires setup/ramp to burst.
Meta warlock is called OP by some. But every warlock player knows how terrible the meta warlock gameplay really is. We still get obliterated by every other caster in the game. We get chain banished by other warlocks. And spamming 1 button for moderate damage is braindead and I think most warlock players play warlock because we are known to have many buttons. We can do alot. Great CC, good damage, amazing survivability. All reduced down to one button in metaā¦ (and a model that covers 80% of our screen)
Affliction is a literal joke outside of 1v1. And a further slap in the face that shadow priest is basically just everything affliction should be. Making affliction by comparison an even bigger joke.
Warlock is by far the worst pvp class in the game right now. To the point where we are actually dragging our teams down by simply being there. Even when we play at our best.

except for a few tryhards who play Soul Link with Hount to be cool
you are just better off being the Purple Demon Clown everyone insta attacks regardless if you are low DMG SL or Fire
target dumy class with some strength in 1vs1 encounters 
I rerolled to shaman untill p3. Warlock just isnāt fun at all in p2. And if these armor sets are any indication. They still wont be fun in p3 either 
I completely understand buddy, if I were an Alliance Warlock I would have done the same thing a lot sooner.
I feel lucky that Iām Horde WL, and that I chose orc over undead this time around, which makes it somewhat bearable.

i never liked the forced āSet bonusesā meta. Itās more fun when we are free to collect individual pieces and optimize based on playstyle. Like the moltencore prebis in original classic.
Can you link source?
April 1st is in a few weeks. Might just be an early joke.

When I first replied to the op today, I had a different set in mind that was datamined super early.
This stuff ? Is fake on such a low iq lvl, that if you actually believe it ? I have a bridge to sell you xD
Please, for the sake of humanity, dont procreate.
imagine that mage damage though. pom pyroblast - fireblast - setbonus trigger another instant pyroblast.
all just globals with no casts to interrupt. i donāt think any amount of stam on gear will save you hereā¦
PvP is very pointless.
Most people play for PvE.
Could actually be. And I hope you are right
in the gameās current state, i will have to agree. being nuked down in 2 to 3 sec is very common. there is barely any room for actual skill.
I donāt think PvPers ever had skill.
I played a Paladin in Legion, and just because I got the wrong legendaries I couldnāt do competitive raids anymore, they sacked me from the raid.
But it turned out that my legendaries made me almost impossibru to kill on the Map, so I switched factions and ganked them for the rest of the addon.
Long story short, stay on the PvE server and enjoy
Whatās skillfull about pve? Just learn the mechanics and your rotation. Youāre fighting preprogammed npcās that always behave the exact same way, week after week.
In pvp you are fighting thinking calculating humans that can mix up and trick you.
Are you actually trying to say pvp somehow is not skillfull and in the same breath claim pve IS skillfull?
