Why does every spec have procs and affliction doesnt?

topic.
Stale rotation. 3min cd. no procs.
Give affliction some fun procs.

GIVE PROCS. pls. :(

inb4: nightfall.
Destro have no procs either, so affli isn't alone.
Nightfall should be a baseline passive.

Casting UA should reduce the CD of Darkglare AND UA ticks should have the chance to proc Deathbolt.

^^ Affliction suddenly becomes a lot of fun.
affliction is fine damage wise, give us more surviability in pvp. every melee class pop us like soap bubbles in 1v1
im talking about REACTIVE fun gameplay, not damage.

That sounds like a nice spec to play. Just nerf numbers on that so we dont go even more through the roof and sign me up for that. And give DS back as filler, shadowbolts only on instant procs.

Oh yeah the numbers would need to be tweaked for sure.

I think this would be a blast to play though. I also completely agree with bringing Legion Drain Soul back. Not the rubbish version they replaced it with.

The only issue with this would be the sort of clunky way that you'd feel like you'd need to cancel Drain Soul to cast your Shadow Bolts.

I think this could be alleviated somewhat by allowing 2-3 Nightfall Procs to stack so that you didn't feel compelled to cancel your drain all the time.

Perhaps the Legion artifact ability could also return with a twist. When you Harvest Souls instead of a damage increase, you get a small, stackable reduction to your UA cast time.

Oh and Phantom Singularity or SoC made baseline too.
they have no ideea about making talents, so they removed every good talent from MoP and put spells that where baseline in the past as talents.
REEEEEmove 3 min cd on Darkglare. Make it 2. Nerf numbers. Bring Nightfall as passive.
Nightfall baseline with up to 3 charges together with Drain Soul sounds nice yea :)
affliction got more procs than any warlock specs.

And which would that be?
Generating a Soul Shard is Affliction Warlock proc :)

Not true. Backdraft. Also Inferno's boost to CBs count as procs (more as buffs, but still...)

Those are not procs. Not even close... a proc is something like pyroblast on mage or demonbolt for demonology, they proc as a passive result of playing you class. Back draft is a guaranteed buff when you hit conflagrate so that's not really a proc, however if back draft became something that procs too I'd be happy with that, say for every three incinerate you get a single back draft proc, of if we took RoF off shard cost and its ticks would proc back draft that'd be cool too.
Procs are things like instant cast brain freeze on mage, ice lance, or increased damage pistol shot on outlaw rogue.

We have none of those whatsoever which is what has led to us feeling so stale.

There is zero reactive play.

Destro -> Immolate, conflag, chaos bolt if you have shards/backdraft is up. Incinerate, incinerate, incinerate. Refresh Immolate.

Blah blah blah.
