  1. @Kalamazi wanted to mention that inquisitor's gaze is bugged and stopped functioning as of recently, not sure which build broke it but it seems no one is talking about it. Wanted to mention it cause you have higher coverage and can probably get this bug fixed instantly if u mention it. ^^

  2. I used to play an Aff. Warlock back in Vanilla WOW. I quit playing for about 10 – 12 years and much has changed. Back in the day, Affliction had access to rain of fire and was "okay" at AOE but not great. Boss fights were the reason you brought along an Affliction Lock. Back then, everyone used to gripe about the "the face melting" we used to do. It's a different world now lol. I hate that on so many of these talent trees your forced to make a choice between single target or AOE when the reality is that you encounter both (trash packs and bosses). It would seem to that they should make the builds in such a way that you would at least be able to be competent in one and shine at the other.

  3. "Harvester of Souls" is pretty undertuned, it should be deleted or merged with "Sacrolash". Why is still "Xavian Teachnings" not avaible for all locks? And why are the baseline capstones still so bad?

  4. Idk if anyone has said this yet, but I think they need to add a talent that is the same as that conduit that made rapture do way more damage on the UA target, that way it is better in ST and doesn’t scale super crazy in AoE

  5. I’ve mained Ret pally since vanilla. This will be the first expansion I do not….Firstly, no one wants to invite a Ret over other classes that can bring so much more to the table. Second, rets are across the board agreed upon to be in a terrible place right now, plus it just doesn’t feel good. Third, the content creators for ret pale in comparison to your level of dedication, and for all those reasons, I’m going to main a warlock for the first time. Thank you for all you do. Totally worthy of my prime sub on twitch!!!

  6. love your videos kalamazi. Im noticing that the infernals are swapping targets to the single target dummy that you are using for flashpoint which drops their dps by a huge margin and make the testing not accurate

  7. Why the nerf on more then 5 target? Whats the point of aoeing then? My God. Blizz still sucks after all these years.i wanted to come nack as aff lock in dragonflight. This video made me reconsider if i will play warlock or not. The aoe vs single target thing sucks too.

  8. As former Aff one-trick, it saddens me to see my favourite spec in such a bad state for another expansion 🙁 the comparison to demo is just insane

    Thanks for your fantastic content, you're by far the best warlock content maker!

  9. Affliction – play it if you like maximum effort for mediocre results and being embarassed by classes that are good at everything whatever talents they pick and mash three buttons. Because the devs just have no idea how to have a dot class do good single target whilst taming multidot, and they just won;t let go of the idea that seed of corruption has to have not only a long cast time but the requirement to do damage to make it explode, making it just about the slowest AOE there is…right next to a ton of classes who click one button insta-cast. Seeds mechanic shoudl have been dumped years ago, but they won't let go of it. Get used to watching that cast bar crawl across the screen and hearing "I need to target something!" and being a wallflower more and more as peopel gear up and everything but a boss flops over before your dots even start to tick. High keys, maybe, but forget it if you're pugging normal dungeons.

  10. For affliction to work they need to delete Rapture and return UA as the main shard spender. That would give more value to Dread Touch and Doom Blossom imo with the current mechanics of Malefic Affliction i think having multiple UA on 1 or few targets would make both talents better and will result in higher ST dmg/cleave. It will also be a lot more fun to play, or atleast that`s what i think.

  11. They can buff rapture on your UA target. IE the conduit. Seems they forgot they gave us a 13 percent passive buff the entire expac with that conduit and under tuned the set bonus or didn't add talents to increase dmg as they make us pick skills that are pretty baseline toolkit abilities to begin with.

  12. Kali, this what I keep saying. As long as Affliction keeps depending on Augment spells to make dots work, the class will never be in a STABLE and good place. You say the damage isnt there, thats because DOTs. the very foundation for our damage isnt there. Thats why I dont like MR, thats why i dont like other abilities, passive or otherwise that our DOTs depend on to even work. Its bad design.
