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!

Fire Mage Rework is JUST PERFECT!👀https://youtu.be/rJo3nzPyUV8
Ret Paladin Hero Talents: Reworked AGAIN!?👀https://youtu.be/1Tf7YI9MY64
Thanks for the video
You complete me
I love my affliction lock, been playing it since before there were really specs back in vanilla… Here's to hoping affliction will be back!
drain soul is a pain in the ass it locks you on the spot in pve and pvp it always kils me i'm so tired of it
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
Until they remove Malefic rapture any change is irrelevant
I was sold as soon as you said you don't have to use Drain. Shadow Bolts all day!
Not really. Aff still had rupture so still not good
Almost every change are changes that I wanted… with the exception of keeping Rapture, Aff looks real fun
Man, just imagine some creepy bald demon just popping up behind you all the time to do some tweaking movements and stuff around you just dissolves… My sanity would be just gone.
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.
Sadly still looks like a more clunky version of shadow priest to me. Lock is probably getting benched again. Hasn't been fun aince WOTLK for me.
Theyre going to hang shaman out to dry for another expac, im sure
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
imo talents should be about choices. if you can get all the cool things without sacrificing anything, then get rid of the talents concept and make everything spells and passives in the spellbook:))
ARE YOU FO REAL?
You called this garbage "The best class talent tree design"? Dude the capstone suck hard! No locks are satisfied with it except for a free talents you can pick….
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?
This used to be like top 5 in the game always spec back in the day. Sorry lock bros
Warlock in tww is looking worse than Cata so far.
Thank you for inflicting the cope about the Affliction 🙂
Damn this looks nice, might have to play affliction instead of demonology!
Malefic Rapture remains = Affliction Warlock is dead for me.
FINGERS CROSSED!
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.
