  1. I've always been a warlock main but after essentially playing Demo for the entirety of SL (I wasn't a Destro FOTM during S3/4, hated the playstyle) I'm somewhat burned out with the spec and the idea of having to play demo yet again is disheartening to say the least.

  2. Honestly they should just bring back Malfic Grasp and replace Malfic Rapture with it, and make UA your ss spender again. Also make UA like hand of guldan where u can spend 1-3 ss on it making it last longer 8s,10s,15s or however they want to balance it insread of spam stacking either way they bring it back UA should be our ss spender.

  3. What I wish for General Capstone talent is Wilfrieds, which reduces pet summon by 2 sec, and if you have picked your guardian pet, it reduces cd by x secs per shard spentand increases pet dmg by 5%/10%. That would be a nice change.

    What I also miss is the recharge of Dimensional Rift, if you hit with Incenerate (refund chance 10%/15%) and most importantly summoning "Flame Rifts". Why arent they back :/

    Blizzard put Xavian Teaching in the main tree!!

  4. Hey great video, but don't you find the Warlock Class Capstones a little underwhelming? (Soulburn, Inquisitor's gaze, Summon Soulkeeper, Grim Feast) obviously I could be looking at this the wrong way, but I feel as if the bottom of the tree had some options that could have really been decent gameplay changers, such as something like Kiljadens (spelling?) cunning from pandara. where it changed how you could play. Ive been using inquisitors gaze and although its a free like 1%ish damage increase, I find it underwhelming and wondering if maybe that last point is spent elsewhere when I get access to level 70 and not on really any of the last talents.

  5. loved the video kala. ive been seeing a few aff builds in betas keys that ignored soul rot for dread touch and seemed like it did well enough in both single and aoe. it also took siphon life instead of absolute corruption. looked cursed but it did seem to do pretty good dmg in both situations.

  6. You will never play demo on a spread cleave fight. So the fact that destro isn't far behind in single means it will be likely the strongest class in the game on spead cleave, particularly on sporadic split cleave.

  7. Great video! After being 50/50 on maining frost mage or destro lock for DF, I've now landed on the warlock.

    What addon do you use to keep track on your soul shards and cooldowns? Thanks.

  8. Afflictionis mediocre at best, and crippled further by being forced to choose between being mediocre at AOE and therefore bad at single target, or vice versa. There's no all-rounder build, not even a mediocre one. Couple that with affliction's existing problems with ramp and how once people start gearing up, content outside of high keys and raids will just mean stuff flops over dead before your dots can tick and you've got real problems. Even before considering that there are classes/specs who CAN excel at pretyt much everything, and with less skill input too. I suspect that affliction will be a largely dead spec just as was demo after Blizzard did their "we'd rather you did not play it" nerfs. Peopel are being fooled by affliction's prepatch performance. Kind oflike demo was prepatch Legion thanks to a quirk where the tier armour would summon hundreds of pets.

  9. Watch your own BfA vids going into shadowlands. You make a better argument against UA spender than I ever could ;p

    Aff's tree needed another pass and just won't get it for a while. It needs another 1 or 2 points; 4pc and WoC need to move way up in the tree; Xavian Teachings and Harvester of Souls need to be removed/baselined. Buffing UA and/or bringing back a strong Focused Malignancy somewhere would fix single target.

  10. Was thinking of making a demo lock to play with some friends that are coming back to try and focus on m+ w diffrent comps etc … was wondering for pve (and mainly m+) –

    1:what is the best race for horde (aside from blood elf which everyone seems to want for arcane torrent lol) ?

    Thanks in advance
