For the Destro bonuses, I would change the 4 set to gaining 10% crit, mastery, or haste (I think we benefit most off of haste and crit) and 1) make it so that when your infernal disappears you get a 15 second window where you cast while moving, 2) it increases the duration of your current infernal by 15 seconds, or 3) Makes your next 3 chaos bolts instant cast with increased chance to proc a second infernal.
Don't know, just cooking up what I would personally like to see as someone mostly exclusively plays Destro
Is there a reason Affliction was moved away from having UA as their main spender? I remember the before and after but not really a why.
Warlock devs 😂😂😂😂
@kalamazi – my theory regarding the tier dog is that this would be akin to the Felguard from GFg – unaffected by talent modifiers and works off of base damage, cannot be extended by tyrant since it is summoned after the cast completion of tyrant (?) – so no wicked maw – no carnivorous stalkers etc. However, the active dogs clause for 4p makes me believe that the dreadbite by casted/extended dogs would be with the talents whereas the tier dog would cast its base version.
If the Class set Unstable Affliction does not interact with any of the talent points they might as well called it Stable Affliction.
I agree @kalamazi, the Destro tier set is underwhelming. My suggestion has been:
(2) Set Bonus: Your damaging spells have a chance to hit a Jackpot! that increases your Critical Strike by 15% for 10 seconds. Casting Summon Infernal always hits a Jackpot!
(4) Set Bonus: Hitting a Jackpot! cause your next Chaos Bolt to be empowered and become a Shadowflame (same animation, but the colours are shadowflame) bolt at XX% increased damaged.
This focusses on our main spender spell. Just an idea. I always like the Shadowflame theme.
hey kalamazi guy here, nice video
This is all nice and all
But I am still waiting for them to give us a different node option in Diabolist to accommodate those of us who do not run either Demonic Circle OR Howl of Terror.
Been playing the Entire Season 1 with 9/10 Hero Talents because of it.
Petition to remove malefic rapture!
Happy early birthday brotherman
All in all, aff. warlock is still at bottom of the dps chart.
@kalamazi I think it's a buff to rapture…IF it's a second UA then that's a Massive boost to rapture
The biggest problem with this set is how ugly it looks. Locks usually have the best designs, but they are 3/3 in losers this expansion (counting the arathi cloth set being bad, especially compared to how amazing the mail/plate arathi sets are).
You got a pro beard going on.
Subscribe for Kala’s birthday!!
Thanks bro. Comment for the algorithm
The Destro set should materially improve the power of the Mastery stat, which could be important for a lot of casual-ish players who will be running around with Cyrce's for a good chunk of the next season. I think the 4pc will be strong by the numbers even if it isn't impactful on our play patterns.
The Aff set sounds extremely underwhelming, particularly in single target fights. Out of all 3 specs, Aff benefits the least from haste. A good indicator here is from running ST sims with and without Time Warp, Aff gains the least overall DPS. 12% haste is not going to meaningfully change the play pattern either. If this set doesn't have strong Crit/Mastery distribution in secondaries, we may have to consider whether it's actually worth wearing in a pure ST fight. I think it's thematically salvageable if they remove the target cap on the UA spread. At least that could feel cool in M+
UA spender my love.
Do we know if the Tier spread UA will give shards on death? That will be awesome for shard gen in m+

I think the devs just have no idea what to do with warlock. Just a year ago they removed the third dog, gutted our core economy despite all the community feedback, just to revert it back a year later. Destruction just got an unnerfed version of chaos incarnate as a 4p after they gutted it. Affliction is whatever, it's unplayable in pve anyways and sets does not matter that much in pvp.
The thought of spreading unstable afflictions sounds great, but I can't help but feel this is just going to be extremely clunky and not that fun.
Demo is definitely the most inspired and powerful buuuuut I hope it’s not so good that I’m forced to play demo to be optimal.
The rng proc rate cannot be the same on these three. Demo is the only one who's 4 set isn't rng AND tyrant is 1min cd AND the set itself is waaaay better
And I suspect the other classes are similar. Which means they now have 50+ rng proc rates to tune. That's going to use up a huge chunk of available dev time this season
Happy Birthday Florida Man
Destro 4 piece has the potential to change the rotation a fair bit if playing around shard dumping when a jackpot happens and you have juiced out mastery is strong enough to offset slightly sub optimal resource usage. Particularly with infernal and crashing chaos, it seems like you'll want to pool shards and conflag charges to try and get as many chaos bolt casts into that 10 second jackpot window from infernal as possible.
We have birthday the same day! Happy bday!🎉
Oh no way you have the same birthday as me. Hope you have a good one too.
the UA spreading sounds like a good capstone that they could add later to the game
