Iv played druid and rogue in bfa, but played in cata lock. The changes iv see for SL makes me wanna play lock again as a main. Are there any destro locks here which tested it in SL? How does the new changes feel? Is the class design good?
Should i even think of swapping mains?
The styl of destro and high burst with big numbers gives me a great feeling, i started gearing one right now and it feels realy well. The changes which are coming right now are even better, hope these changes will also be as great in the game as we r reading.
Warlocks are in a decent to great state in SL atm, at least as far as I’m concerned. Destro’s Chaos Bolt gets nerfed, but the builder spells get buffed so it doesn’t feel like you’re doing absolutely no damage outside of chaos bolts anymore. I guess that makes destro a bit less bursty.
There’s even a build going around where you literally don’t use chaos bolt, keeping up a fire spell buff instead and emptying your shard pool on Rain of Fire instead. However, chaos bolt play is probably still a thing, and a big thing at that.
Affliction is also looking really swell, and unless nerfed it will be quite viable in all content.
Demonology… well, summoning demons is cool, at least.
Hello, as I said in different post my feelings so far from Beta are:
Destruction with Rain of Chaos build is amazing in m+
So called fire warlock build isn’t even close with dmg to Rain of Chaos build.
In PvP I would say its decent (not great because of insane RNG dependancy)
Affliction is already way better than its BfA version. They did nice UA changes.
New honor talent Rapid Contagion is amazing option for PvP.
You can have UA up to 3 targets (with honor talent)
Also perma 50% slow attached to Corruption with Legendary item.
But I think its still squishy (personal opinion)
