They are too busy chilling on their yachts
Even if only 20% of these ideas would be implemented it would be too much work for blizz.
Just a simple tuning of some exisiting stuff is litteraly just deleting the old value and writing a new one ⌠should be doable in like 1 minute per spell.
T.b.h. any changes giving affi spec some more boost would be welcome.
Invocation, Sould Siphon and Everlasting affliction suggestions should be super easy to code. UA and SB volley would be bit harder (unless they would just buff dmg or make it instant). But these changes alone + fix to Haunt + UA should make Affli (or dot heavy Demo) much more viable.

We are kind of paying for premium product with monthly subscription in comparison to other games, we should expect premium performance.
Dude I guarantee you blizzard wonât even do the bare minimum to fix useless runes.
Just stop and think for a second that someone thought the change to lake of fire is w good idea while any competent lock player read the change and 1 nanosecond later realized the rune is a dps loss. Obviously the guy behind balance doesnât play the game.
Maybe we need to literally write them down what to do down to the math. I know for a fact that most of IT people are bad at math and they are afraid of it. BTW: if some of you have US char, could you please copy paste the suggestions (assuming you like them) on US forum? There is more chance of it doing something there.
I would be willing to literally work part time on weekends for free and help fix the mess. Itâs not gonna happen. Devs would rather make useless and unfun nightmare incursions content instead of making current content fun and add extras.
Everything, literally everything is half assed about locks atm. Just gotta accept it and hope at least the big issues get solved.
Which one of the big issues? xD
Im hoping for at least Dance of the Wicked fix. Would love to see how good mana sustain it would give
It would be interesting if the snapped crit would proc the big dodge chance as well.
Dance of the wicked is one of them,
Felguard being a joke another one.
Demo tree being bordeline useless another one.
Affliction having no real space appart from PVP, but then again PVP is dead at the moment.
5-6 of our runes are a dps loss. They need to be fixed/tunned.
Our new tank tier is also abysmal for 3 set bonus. Stats are awesome for tanking but shadow clear on single target doesnt make sense. Maybe I ll get 1 stack and try to weave in fast immolate between boss hits.
If the boss does not hit very fast it is probably better to literally hardcast immolate (especially if you have Bane) than to waste dmg / threat with shadow cleave.
Also if some of oyu have twitter, could you try to notify Aggrand? He seems to care only about that. Send him link to the thread or give him TLDR (I dont havbe Twitter, so I cannot).
I just tried lvl 50 raiding (gnomer).
Affliction is absolutely weak.
500dps on crowd pummeler⌠i did easy the same with destruction spec with lvl 40 in p2
So current state of affli wl: we can now do almost as much dps as a destruction lock in p2! Noice!
because invigoration tnt master marksman and lets not forget steady shot are all great runes everyone usesâŚ
I like that one with shadowvolley rune, shadowbolt should hit multiple enemies like it does with lower dmg but when its only one target these shadowbolts valley should hit one target with also less dmg but more than one single normal shadowbolt or just regular shadowbolt but not less. With current build we need swap rune on boss fights and swap on adds, its nonsense.
We did it fellows!
Unstable Affliction got massively buffed. (+120% damage) !
Keep up the great fight fellow locks! Observe and inform
Will it be enough to compete with destro tho ?
Probably it depends on the raid composition⌠with the extra 15% (?) Shadow damage boss debuff that a shadowpriest provides it will be a good chance that affli is now as strong as destro i guess.
problem is aff dots dont scale well with spell power
best buff they could give aff , is make warlock dots scale better with sp ,1 dps per 4 sp is really bad
Shadow priest got the best dot in the game (void plague) the dot is stronger and than all 3 lock dots combined and they have stronger rotation than locks and yet theyâre still struggling with dmg in raids
