Welcome back to MarcelianOnline! Today, we’re looking at the affliction warlock rework in the war within alpha and right off the bat, this is a great improvement from what we have currently on the live game. It’s no exaggeration and yes, very subjective but both soul harvester and hellcaller warlock are good. I mean, war within warlock hero talents aside, what they actually did to the spec talents is just awesome and even though malefic rupture is still there, there are way more positives to just focus on that.

There will be a lot more iterating until war within beta and we do expect more updates for the affliction warlock hero talents so be sure to stay subscribed to not miss out on any update!

  1. Are you kidding? Demon health stone and 5% refund chance as capstones?? Revert them or at most put them as a choice node for grim feast and inquisitors gaze blizz, these new are utter shyte

  2. SR 1 min, no seeds, manual dotting if the pack won't die in time.
    No dot refreshing mechanism, like current set bonus or execute style.
    Where is soul swap? If dots won't do damage then still F tier in pvp.
    Why they keep removing spells? Like dread touch.
    They could keep them around for no-meta players, for fun!
    Hero talents are all about shaking up rotation, they seem ok for pve.

  3. the biggest issues with affliction lock boil down to the same core:
    DoT builds in WoW suck.
    it takes too long to get their stuff on everything in cleave fights, and steady damage, something DoT builds excel at, is not registered as all that good by the DPSmeter brain rotted crowd.
    the people who only see the Details! score and nothing else. the same people that are the reason Aug Evokers are overtuned and OP, because, (according to one director for WoW, I forget who) "no one would have looked at it or tried it if it wasn't"
    only burst damage is, something DoT builds suck at.
    the fact that steady damage is not valued is a community issue
    more cleave damage is something the devs need to work on, but is the much easier fix

    and then there is the ramp up time for something like Agony

    Affliction is the king of DoT DPS, which needs more love in WoW. that is the real reason they suck so much so often
    here's hoping these changes fix that long term

  4. It seems odd you have to go through the Seed talent to get a talent that buffs malefic rupture, unless they plan on reworking how seed works, that would feel like a redundant talent
    Or am I missing something obvious?

  5. A big thing I haven't seen anyone talk about yet with Hellcaller is whether or not Wither will benefit from talents that effect corruption. Stormbringer Shaman has a similar talent in Tempest that doesn't benefit from talents that buff lightning bolt.
