ICE LANCE GOES BRR

Must be frustrating when you try to test different builds and you get little useful data as every other player on beta plays (still, 2 weeks ahead of launch) overtuned mage or hunter and stuff dies way too fast.
So soft..
Mage still need another nerf
This is depressing to see. What I am seeing is someone putting in tons of effort for very little reward. I've been watching your channel for the past couple months leading up to the release of Shadowlands and for a while there it seemed like Aff would be worth the effort, but its been in a steady decline for the past few weeks… Thank you for keeping us informed, will continue to keep watching and hope it gets better with tuning.
DoT's are doing so little damage they may as well be changed to a list of debuffs which all say "increased Malefic Rapture by X%". I don't know why Blizz are so resistant to bringing back Malefic Grasp from MoP, best design Aff has ever had for DoT's to make both ST and AoE relevant… Its like Blizz can't disconnect that it was Snapshotting which was the problem and not the rest of the MoP Aff toolkit.
What is his stream schedule so I can watch?
Reppin my fav spec! Nice!! Since you are always providing us w/ great info I'd like to extend some I have. @ 7:39 you mentioned needing to dismiss your pet before jumping down. You do not have to do this!! All you have to do is jump down while mounted and let your pet catch up to your character, he will run right in the middle of stuff but don't worry stay mounted until he reaches you. While you're mounted your pet becomes invisible to enemy NPC's and only your character can pull. It's why if you have ever been jumping down on Rezan and pulled the adds at the top of the stairs that means either you dismounted too soon or another pet class did. This tip also applies to all pets, Mage Ele, Hunter pets and DK ghouls. Nothing game changing but now you know. Great video though keep up the great work
i dont think aff will really shine till higher keys.
Honestly, Affliction went from being a fun execute class with competitive AoE in early/mid beta to….. this. High effort, high accuracy requirement to end up middle of the pack anyway. Not worth it.
what is getting him from 0 to 5 shards instant sometimes?
think i play affli in raids and destro in m+
I mean i wouldn't mind an Afflock outdpsing me in a M+ scenario if he has to go through so much shit and trouble to keep up dps while i get 90% of my dmg from a pet or spamming ice lance. I don't know how can they balance the dmg/gameplay without pissing everyone off.
Well anyways mages and hunters will prolly be nerfed in the week or so after shadowlands release
Its like we re playing a ranged rogue where each combo point has a different debuff icon and we only have 1 finisher which does nothing but damage.
Its also very very boring to have all your damage rely in 1 ability : Malefic Rapture. All classes have 1,2 abilities that are the biggest contributors but afli takes it 1 step further and says Malefic Rapture is the only button you care about. Theres also nothing interesting happening,no choice…the only choice is how many combo points (ahem dots…) can you efficiently stack on multiple targets before you spam your 1 and only core spell.
Is the Seed build not less work for these? If things are dying this fast I would think the seed build with the coruption ring might be worth looking into.
I keep saying we need a way to spread agonie. Just take 2 second and look how unholy spread sooooooooo
easily. When you come back at aff it's look so ridiculous. We are king of GCD right now
so much work for so little reward.
'in raid its even worse.
I would love to see a Destro M+ run!! Keep those bids coming!
Frost mage rotation is so primitive. Warlock is big brain 5 head compare to mage, but facerolling braindead mage has better results, nice balance Blizztards.
So I wanna roll lock since mage is too time consuming for me, I dont mind playing all 3 specs, but as a mage all 3 specs have different stat priorities, and I do raid mythic fairly well, however I just cant be bothered farming 3 gear sets to stay competitive, my question is, do the 3 lock specs differ a lot in terms of stats?
Is this before Nov 11 frost nerfs?
its sad to see our covenant ability + main cd together does only 5% of our total dmg
nice run ! are you going to do a video of torghast with demonist ? 🙂
On the keys up to 15 i suppose Sow the Seeds built would be more efficient. The burst to build up time ratio is better than with typical "spread and MR".
No wonder every lock of my guild switched to a hunter or a mage. I'm the only one left. Too much effort and not enough reward.
The darkglare extend damage is pitiful. Should be a 30 second cd at this point.
Hey Kala, is Lock still good and can compete with other classes (like hunt/mage)? I think we get pretty outdamaged…
it's wild. 10 entire levels ahead and barely breaking level 50 damage levels. Granted the gear inflation at 50 but at 10 more levels and more intellect this is so depressing. Yes I understand gear will improve but the margin of damage difference from 50 to 60 is like wow…there isn't any. To think the covenant and legendary are even included in the 60 damage break down.
Plater profile? please!
how do you see the warlock in Shadowland? will we do well in m +?
What UI addon are you using?
addon dots and enemy barr ? big dots icon on enemy
Well seem like affliction will be declined when looking for a pug M+ group just like BFA
can you tell us how big of a difference dps vise is when we choose the "wrong" covenants? like night fae and venthir for affliction mythic+ and raids?
honestly i miss the old darkglare and deathbolt
so stupid might as well just play dh and do more damage with 3 buttons
btw looking at that dps meters why even caste soothing tithe for 2.3% dmg lmao just cant another rapture instead
Good stuff man! Do you plan to test out Destro spec in m+ aswell in a few days? It would greatly help us 🙂 Have a good one lad
It is so depressing to see the most complex playstyle in the game-multidotting being dumpstered by pepega frostmage and huntard classes.
So, back to Destro then I guess?
Warlock is going to scale to ridiculous numbers like every expansion and everyone bitching about their dps will be just fine with it being completely unbalanced. Hupocritical. "NERF FROST NERF FROST" but when warlock gets overturned you are silent
What is making his malific rupture animation go from normal faint purple to green?
