Warlocks are fine

this whole class is garbage I don't even see what they can realistically do to buff affliction since every dot is a fucking retard friendly instant cast with soulburn and you might as well melee your target outside demon soul

blizzard literally doesn't think they could have just removed chaos wave from go:sac and we could have still been viable but ghostcrawler clearly has a better understanding of the game than anyone playing it

I don't see how people are honestly complaining about this change.  Warlocks are beyond absurd at the moment.  Insane burst, instant CC, never a focus target.

at the moment? are you on crack? pre 5.1 we were op, less so with aura nerf, and now the entire demo spec is not viable. affliction is hopeless, destro also sucks. this insane burst is no longer existant, and while blood fear still exists it doesnt matter since every class has 100 defensive cooldowns and I don't even have any abilities that can force them to pop them anymore

You went from OP to "less so" with the aura nerf?  I doubt it.  No one even gets on warlocks because all your abilities are instant cast.  Warlocks could 2v3 teams easily because of the burst.

Its not the fact that warlocks didnt need to have chaos wave nerfed, Its the fact that now that demo is no longer viable, theres no playable specs for warlocks.

Why would removing it from GO:SAC help rofl? I still did 200k crits without GO:SAC.

Am I the only one thinking demo warlocks got buffed in 5.1, seeing as you could no longer dispell demon soul lol? Before that patch I didn't consider them OP, but after they sure as hell were. Before the patch you could just dispell it instantly in most cases if you saved your CDs for it, after you just had to pray for you not getting globalled, because there was no other way than LOSing it or CCing the shit out of the lock (which doesn't happen for 20 sec lol).
The aura nerf was pretty big, but it hardly mattered when you had enough CDs to survive the first minute anyways, so you could oneshot.

This nerf was needed. Am I the only one thinking demo isn't complete garbage now lol? It's not like 2x 150-160k (even if it was 120k) chaos wave crits followed by touch of chaos spam and overpowered imps soloing targets is bad, you just might not be able to solo targets in a global anymore. But hey, you have a partner to help you!

I don't see a lot of complaining about the nerf itself in here esp. not from WLs. It's more about affliction sucking right now than demo beeing tuned down as a lot of us didn't enjoy the playstyle anyway.

I think people just refuse to even try UA because just spamming DoTs on people like a retard doesn't yield the same results as it did in past seasons.

Now you actually have to do more to do dmg???? go figure

its so much easier to do dmg now as affliction than it was, SO DAMN MUCH EASIER, but the dmg is easy to heal no threat at all

You guys wanna know why it got hotfixed like this?

RBGs. People were stacking demo locks gripping everyone and oneshotting the whole team. So it gets hotfixed. If it was about competative arena no one would have fixed it ie: mages, warriors.

It was retarded and I'm glad it got fixed, hoping for an affliction buff.

exactly this, i havent played arena for quite some time now and only 1-2 rbg games each week but imo this change has nothing to do with arena
with this change is see people playing destro again, but beside stuff like friendship i see no reason for any1 to play with a warlock over another caster (but there are quite a lot of good warlock players around, i atleast know more good locks than i know good mages, so people will keep playing with them, but in theory other casters would be better)

[Stigz]

Reroll Destro and you can do those numbers again.

Problem solved!

[Methacus]

Yeah if you ever face someone that is stupid enough to let you get off a fully buffed chaos bolt without popping a single defensive cooldown, just to have them complain on the forums that it is overpowered and you face them again before blizzard "fixes" the damage then you'll see those numbers as destro.

[Megan89]

other class   posting here their happiness about the nerf ..hypocrisy too much

[joenoesworsteu]

I feel like a demon soul nerf would have probably been better than a straight up damage nerf on chaos wave seeing as it really wasn't all that scary without every cooldown behind it (on use, GoSac, demonsoul). But now it's not even worth casting without them cooldowns- jk it's not even worth it WITH cooldowns. if they had just halfed the amount of mastery from demonsoul the crits warlocks would be seeing would be nowhere near enough to global someone (and sometimes someone else by mistake lol) but the spec would still be a considerably weaker without becoming unplayable.
