Gladiator’s Distinction (PvP set) bonus Stamina increased to 500 (was 350).
Developers’ note: In general, damage output is outpacing survivability in PvP leading to a volatile gameplay experience. We’re increasing the Stamina from the PvP trinket set bonus to reduce the effect of damage across the game.
At same time blizzard :
WARLOCK
Demonic Embrace now increases your Stamina by 20% (was 10%) in PvP combat.
Demon Armor (PvP Talent) has been removed.
-17% physical damage reduction Vs 10k more health.
Warlock enters arena, warlock dies in opener against melees/hunters
Nice survivability buff

Stupid answer,. If he is like me, he don’t want to play demo. Blizzard wants us to play for their game, so it is their job to make it possible to play what we want and how we want it to play.

Or warlock survives then proceeds to murder the other team with ridiculous chaos bolt damage and instant chaos bolts.

Again this is only destruction, but the demon armor removal also hitted hard on Affliction.
Why does everybody look only at the string specs when they justify the nerf.
just leveled up affly, it wasnt top dog, kinda felt save bet to play affly, once I got honour gear, 9.2.5. nerf came in.
I can do some crazy dmg builds, but cant survive two melee grinding me down.
Kinda goes against the statement what blizz says, affly got less def now.

I guess you know that demo dies very fast too right? 2 times you kill pet and demo is gone 
actually 1 of the worst 3v3 specs in the game, turbo, DH, ww, DK, rogues eats alive demo.
Iam playing affli, and still with demon armor I did die to ww monks, warrior, hunters or rogues with wall or dark pact on, but didn’t die to pure auto attacks because I had demon armor, only died during CDs or mistakes. Now affliction lock dies to auto attacks, is that good from your perspective? Destro I guess flops even faster, as he have to stand and cast bolt immolates and other stuff.

l2p issue, 5 demos in r1 range atm
As meele player lol that thing should not be removed warlocks were fine.
Those armors shouldn’t even be a talent in first place. They should be baseline that you can swap around in battle, one Vs casters that gives you bonus healing taken and one Vs melees with Armor
I guess you know that these demo guys you mention didn’t play a game as demo in 3v3 and they reached r1 range as Destro pre nerf? They are just swapping to demo to play 2v2 I think you are not familiar with warlock players
Maldiva is playing demo at 2.9k in 3v3.
they are good against caster armor should be baseline.
Thats US EU is Something different
True i forgot 2.9k on US is 1400 in EU.

You’d die to the meta melee classes (Fury Warrior, Rogues) with that extra armor, regardless, and it’s useless against other casters anyway.
The extra stamina added to the PvP trinket set bonus is a just a “thrown bone”. Remember, the motto is “People gotta die”. Only problem is that they failed to specify the time-interval for it
is that why I was just watching maldiva q demo splay at 3k mmr? weird…
So who are the other one u mention?
Maldiva EU? Or you are just trying to find warlocks across all the globe who plays demo
Demon armor should be baseline like Demon skin. We need that survivability
