IMO remove malefic rapture and put the damage back into the dots. Also 3 dots will do just increase their damage rather than giving locks 5 dots to manage. Make shadowbolts actually fucking pump so when you get an instant proc it’s feels good rather than just insignificant damage. Also bring back fel lance instant cast to allow you to refresh the duration of UA and give some instant cast damage on the move.

Doom is insane as well. You can use it to insta kill critters and summon doom guards. I'm mostly doing solo content and amount of doom guards I have following me is comical

@@IzenhartYeah that’s what I expect :/

Shadowbolt hitting almost as hard as a Chaos Bolt is kind of dumb. Affliction has multiple issues with how they designed Hellcaller including, for some unknown reason, they made Wither the same base damage across Destro and Aff. That means it is based on Immolate’s base damage rather than Corruption’s base damage which is already much higher in damage than it should be. Then it gets amplified by their mastery. Currently Hellcaller Warlock is still bugged for Overfiend. For whatever reason they get free procs of Overfiend if they are Hellcaller Destro. Those free procs don’t take away from the stacks you already have so Hellcaller Destro procs Overfiend twice as much as they should. Blizzard knows about this and it will be fixed. Wither doesn’t actually deal a lot of damage by itself. Other than multidotting which is problematic for Aff, Wither isn’t that strong compared to the better Hero Talents.

I noticed the name halfway through the video "Womanlet" HAHA.

Lock can be good as blizzard wants (it’s one of their love childs) but for the sake of everyone’s good time do not make demo the best spec. I legit have more respect for tanks in pvp than a spec based around standing in one spot, do nothing, and letting NPCs carry you offensively

Listen, they better not nerf this damn thing, for PVP i can understand to a point but for gods sake im tired of getting tuned into being too weak at the start and by end game it ends up being "average" in 2 specs and 1 spec finallys hits "okay yeah its good", for gods sake can we be the busted for most the expansion class this time? xD

Let's be real, with that much, portal, healthstone, the crazy defensives, you cannot go wrong with lock in any expansion. Locks are mandatory.

maybe not attack a legacy test dummy to showcase dps also dmg right not means nothing as tuning has not been tuned yet so numbers right now are irrelevant do not make decisions based off of numbers right test the playstyle of the spec. 1 more thing you had the st build doing aoe for destro

raid testing means nothing, the game is mostly about m+

Until they get rid of rapture for affliction i will not play warlock. Its a terrible ability and fights with the spec do much that they keep adding instant cast procs to it as a bandaid fix.

Eveyone needs to stop worrying about numbers and worry about how the spec/hero talents plays. Currently rogue,warrior, and maybe dh Imo feels kinda bad to play. Their hero talents dont feel impactdul. All other specs feel pretty good. If you are playing beta voice your opinion on the forums with CONSTRUCTIVE feedback tell them why it feels bad and how to fix it. Its crazy that everyone is just ZOMG THIS SPEC IS OP. Do you ever wonder why? Those who voice their feedback in the correct way get heard.
