Testing SP TWW Changes on Beta ! (Archon + Mind Flay = Profit??)

[@mr.guizee7764]

Hm. At this point affliction warlock is the only DoT spec left in the game. And one that does damage too. Their dots hit really good, they don't have to invest into mastery to do dmg so they can just stack haste. They have malefic rapture and their core spec tree got a more streamlined and focused rework. Feels bad to be a shadow priest...

[@rz6455]

100% agree. If the job of a spriest is to just rot, then affy is just the better spec for that. Overall, healing is too strong for DoTs to matter early game.

[@poetofnoreturn7708]

50-70% of affli dmg is wither, a hero talant button, unstable affliction hits for 60k. Affli do play mastery, last season almost full mastery to do dmg. Most of the dmg outside of wither doesn’t come from dots, its raptures etc, affli has to cast all the time. Affli is waaaaaay squishier then sp, since they deleted big drain life AND nerfed every single passive and active defensive besides the big wall. Whazz and mes said it is now the squishiest caster. Also, best warlocks players, like mercy and infernion now play SP precisely because they say its better and more of a dot class then affli, a better version of affli. Funny, infernion even said it in the same words, sp is the only dot damage caster in the game he said. I, as a warlock main of 15 years (not very good, 2.4 player) never play affli over sp anymore also. So no, you guys are wrong

[@eternalspacez]

Affliction isn’t strong early ssns because there isn’t enough stats on gear to make their dots do real damage with mastery. To say Sp is a dot class though is just cope, the dots are purely used for the minor dispel protection and damage amps. The literally do nothing else

[@Aikicyoaz]

​@@poetofnoreturn7708moral of the story affli and sp are BAD. Got it

[@KrixenTV]

unholy dk and assassination rogue are both dot specs. not sure where you are getting this from.

[@kepo6314]

Dots ticking for 50k and 25k is super sad... But I ultra love mindflay, for some reasons, so having many insanity procs look cool asfuck

[@iamlithyo]

The new thumbnails are great!

my goat @clamchowdy helpin out

[@aaronr9551]

Love the south park reference in the title

[@jojoheadshrinker24]

Have you tried archon + dark asc + mind spike?

[@StahpSP]

Yeah spike feels kinda mehh, flay is crazy. If u get good crits it could be nice

[@rz6455]

Mixed feelings - I was hoping to see a burst setup build, but I guess the issue with Spike is still the need to cast. If the meta is to just pad and rot, then Affy is all around better.

Thx Alex

[@StahpSP]

appreciate u brother

[@tonedubs6414]

LOL that's the lock that cdew was healing and buddy was not porting, was telling him to rename

[@StahpSP]

some ppl are just insane haha he was emoting/typing every game

[@anthonysteinerv]

the design of this spec is done, how our filler is top dmg, fuck the game devs

[@pedrothin]

Meh, imagine being an actual caster in 2024 when everything moves too much and deals damage while jumping with instant stuff. You have to cast even your burst buff, bruh.

[@tonedubs6414]

you could totally play rps with this if you want more setup or any melee with good cc and uptime

[@tonedubs6414]

also someone at blizz gotta start talking about making dark arc and voidform instant casts lol

[@mistakai4226]

Mindblast should be doing 2 million to these health pools.

[@tonedubs6414]

a lil absurd, id say shadowy insight should get a damage increase with the original design, making the mind blasts hit for 750-800k (gotta be reasonable)

[@mistakai4226]

@@tonedubs6414 I guess you didn't play during mop

[@tonedubs6414]

@@mistakai4226 i did not

[@RobertoVillaLobby]

Wouldn't you still want void torrent just for the sake of having something to cast while you move? Or is that not possible in archon?

[@Phoenix322]

Voidweaver tree only.

[@deva_di_sock1398]

Love this class thanks to you

[@erikmagnusson2924]

Why even play priest? They seem to suck at everything compared to the other classes 😅🙈

It hits for around 600k with dark ascension up. I wouldn’t say it’s bad just other pvp talents are better.

Does halo break CC like poly or psychic scream?

[@StahpSP]

hmm yeah i imagine it would, haven't tested it tho

[@Lmrkz]

@@StahpSPit doesn’t break on cc. It doesn’t break poly.

It doesn’t break cc. I thought it was going to break on a poly but it didn’t surprised blizzard thought about that.
