like it or not i was a big fan of wod demo design, even though it could still have been improved… affli wasnt that bad too
Original poster, you mean … affliction is banished to the Wrath of the Lich King realms ?
on a serious note… I agree. This spec has seen some of the worst game design and development over the last 9-10 years.
All we need is a simple game design like cata/wrath affliction with a couple of historical talent/spell additions and some quality of life updates for the old stuff. Nothing fancy…
Instead, they have been reinventing the wheel every two years and it was all for naught.
Bliz² catering to community council warlocks and other degenerates…
as though it would solve anything
The real issue I have with affliction is that it feels nothing like playing affliction anymore. I have five warlocks on my account I never played much else than affliction, but the current gameplay made me switch to Demo because that at least feels good.
I totally agree to: Let’s go back to any point in time but get rid of the actual version of that spec.
They aren’t “catering” to anyone. That’s such a useless, overused phrase. That community council has only been active for a few months, anyway.
It’s obvious why the spec has become the way it has. Blizzard seem to have been experimenting with more upfront damage to reduce the ramp up time. It obviously hasn’t worked out too well and there’s probably a better way to do it.
With the amount of time we’re having to wait for our DF talent trees, I’m willing to bet they are reworking a lot of things across all 3 specs.
Wait and pray

Wer can only hope for the better end. I can’t wait to play with the tree on wowhead.com.
I have high hopes for Infernal in the class tree!
I wouldn’t get your hopes up with affliction becoming the DOT spec it used to be, unless Blizzard can work out how to balance it. This is another reason why they’re wanting to change the spec up. Shadow priest got ruined too, in my opinion. I used to love that spec and it got abandoned early on at around 200 ilvl

The problem with dots is for ST they need to increase the dmg but then in multi target the dmg explodes in the meters.
