Patch 5.2 Warlock discussion

[kaamila]

Go affliction and you'll be fine. It's not really bad on any fight.

so in t14bis, affliction gosup is still similar/top? has stat priorities changed at all(currently mastery stack with haste breakpoint)?

[Deleted]

Ok, guess this was foolish to believe Destro could have a chance

[Deleted]

supremacy seems to be ahead of sacrifice in simulations for current gear (and stats havent changed).
although in t15hc bis gear sacrifice might be the king again.

i decided to stick to affliction (gosup/gosac) with demo offspec (although im gonna use it a lot more than last tier).

[rezoacken]

I'll give demo a try for normal raids and see how other warlock are performing. If one spec is above everything else, I'll have to go there for heroics but if its fairly equal I'll chose then.
Kind of tired of spamming MG while looking at dot timers to be honest.

[Bloodfire]

Who needs that green fire now? As long as spec is useless particularly.

Don´t be sad! Destro still be fine in RBG. =D

[Bloodfire]

It's just sad.
Last hope for rerolling to mainspec destro was destroyed.

and thank god for that, wouldnt want to have to spec destro at any point tbh, ive always felt that it was horribly boring. prefer to play afflic/demo so much more.

"Grimoire of Sacrifice now increases the damage of abilities by 15% (was 25%) for Destruction Warlocks and 25% (was 50%) for Affliction Warlocks." - newly updated official patch notes.

Last minute change or did I miss that announcement? It's at 30% on the PTR for affli currently.

[Illumy]

So, in the official Patchnotes GoSac is 25% (down from 50%) for Affli. Wasn't is 30 % yesterday? Did they really nerf it again?

Edit: narf too late

[Deleted]

Guess they really really want us to use pets xD

[Sockbat]

They also nerfed the Incinerate buff from 20% down to 10%. I don't even...

[Deleted]

It was always 10% for Incinerate.
20% then 15% for Immolate & Conflagrate.

[Sockbat]

You know, you might be right. Forgive me, I haven't had my morning caffeine yet. >_>

Versus latest official PTR patch notes:

Immolate: 15 vs 20%
AffGoSac: 25 vs 35%
Haunt: 30 vs 25%
Conflagrate: 15 vs 20%

[Deleted]

The only unannounced change is the AffGoSac that gets nerfed one more time. This talent is lucky that the patch finally gets released, it was losing 5% every 2 days

Can someone from the US check how is Shadowburn when the servers are back up ?

[Davidian]

Can anyone please tell me which is the stat priority for Destro with GoSup now?

Is convenient to use Haste for the energy regeneration of the Fel Imp? Or is mastery still ahead?

[Scathbais]

So the latest patch notes don't show the 5% buff reduction for Conflag/Immolate (+15% vs +20%). Did anyone actually see the buff drop on the ptr?
Here is the link I was looking at for the latest patch notes:http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...3#post20410633

Also, for Zum and others playing Destro/Sup this tier, are you really reforging all mastery to haste? what about crit? just seems unnatural to churn out tons of weak, low crit spells.

FWIW at my gear level crit>haste>mastery. This is ok because chaos bolts will still hit hard if i reforge mastery to crit but shadowburn is going to be weaksauce.

[Deleted]

this is sad, i don't think destro will be ever played for t15 for regular players (i was playing it sometime for use or for fun for farmed boss), except perhaps for top skilled players like zumzum but even him will be gimped by those nerfs

i really don't see the point of those nerf for destruction coze , we all got that we are force to play with pets, but no counter part for it on the other spells or too few buffs :-(
