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...
@rz64552 ай бұрын
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.

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
@eternalspacez2 ай бұрын
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

Yeah spike feels kinda mehh, flay is crazy. If u get good crits it could be nice
@rz64552 ай бұрын
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.
