So you don't feel like a long ramp up, inefficiencies with switching, poor mobility, and high cost of switching to AoE are poor mechanical hamstrings to raiding? Nor an over-reliance on 'on death' procs for dealing damage for Affliction?
I mean, with the changes to CH; Unstable Affliction is looking less like a DoT and more like the band-aid fixed Chaos Bolt from MoP/Wrath Conflagrate; with up front damage and some rolled over into a DoT. It also snapshots off your Artifact.
Same data as everyone else. I don't need to manipulate anything to show you:-
Nythendra
Demo mid pack at 75%
Not quite mid pack at 95%
IHoC
Destro mid pack at 75%
Warlocks basically non-existent at 95%
Elerethe
75% just fucking lol.
Aff almost does something at 95%
Ursoc
75% filling out the bottom half again.
Same story at 95%
Next 3 fights have far less data, but:-
Dragons
Finally Warlocks doing something.
And still good here too.
Cenarius
The good news didn't last.
Still poor.
Xavius
Not great.
Poor.
"A tiny bit undertuned", when there's literally 1 spec in 1 fight that drags the class to
nearing mid table in the total aggregate?
You have exceptionally low standards. It's like you consider logging on a success. Is it okay that your Class Hall portal only sometimes works too? Is it too much to expect that to always work?
Let's talk population:
http://warcraftrealms.com/census.php...ervertypeid=-1 By Warcraftrealms census data, we have 6% representation at max level. That's lower than at any time in the game's history. Granted, we have 2 new classes since then, but both are melee and shouldn't be taking excessively from our "pool". We should be 'expecting' 8%. We're not there.
And looking at the data we were given the other day in this thread
http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...s-what-I-found (I'm not sure how and I don't have time right now to look it up to see this directly on wowprogress) it looks like those getting to the level cap simply aren't sticking by their Warlocks once they're there.
Well I'm just not going to do that. No fan of Destro, absolutely loath the new Demo. I'm stuck with reroll or quit; I'm pretty much on for the former for now but I have some weeks still before I think I can actually think about sitting down and raiding again properly so, we'll see. It just sucks to see 10 years of investment in a character gone through, frankly, what feels like ignorance on the part of the developers. The bandaid covers the bullet hole.
