To give you an idea of the Affliction Warlock in action, here’s a basic look at their core combat abilities: It also adds significant self-healing, further playing to the Affliction motif. This better matches the Affliction identity because its damage stays secondary to the DoTs, which should be the primary focus of damage, instead of dwarfing them.

You’ll then spend Soul Shards on an extremely strong DoT in Unstable Affliction, reinforcing the focus on DoTs.įinally, in keeping with the Affliction theme, Drain Life serves as the main filler spell, instead of Malefic Grasp or Drain Soul. Soul Shards are now generated by each Agony you have up on your targets, instead of only by your most recent Corruption cast, to favor placing DoTs on several targets rapidly (multi-dotting). Mechanically, we’re altering how Soul Shards are generated and spent, in part to better deliver on the more DoT-driven damage. We’re adjusting the Affliction rotation so that DoTs are stronger, and your focus is more on figuring out how best to juggle those DoTs to maximize damage output. Applying spells that do damage over time is very core to Affliction, so we want to reinforce these spells as the primary source of damage, with other “filler” spells feeling more secondary. 'These warlocks delight in using fel forces to cause intense pain and suffering in others'Īffliction Warlocks’ gameplay has always aligned well with their character, but in terms of abilities, we want to avoid the feeling that DoTs are amplifiers for your channeled single-target damage. Even the most battle-hardened warriors can be deceived, landing blow after blow against the warlock, only to succumb to their suffering as their very vitality is siphoned away by the dark spellcaster. They revel in corrupting minds and agonizing souls, leaving enemies in a state of torment that would see them undone in due time. Although they're a cool class overall and have a great class fantasy, it is the gameplay I'm interested in the most.Affliction warlocks are masters of shadow-touched powers, but unlike shadow priests-deadliest when pushed to the brink of insanity-these warlocks delight in using fel forces to cause intense pain and suffering in others. It seems that they don't have the mechanic I desire. I'll go level a Shaman, Warlock, and Druid to 100 quickly and base my final choice on their current prepatch gameplay. But before I settle with Warlock I was wondering if there are any mechanics with Mages like this?Įdit: Alright thanks everyone. Now I know Warlock have Soul Shards, which intrigues me. Most preferably one with some kind of mechanic with the balancing and such. Which brings me to the classes I'd like to reroll to. Sadly the changes removed this balancing and only made focus regenerate on it's own and let you spend it. Using Steady Shot to generate Focus to then spend it on Aimed Shot and such. What I truly enjoyed about playing the hunter was the balancing of focus.

Sadly with the changes to gameplay of Hunter this class has lost it's interest for me.
