I don't know how u feel guys, but they're nerfing the shit out of locks in 5.4! At first their concern was our survivability, yet the nerfs to KJC and MF are unrelated. I guess it's back to the back of the bus for us, it was fun while it lasted.
Acording to mr GC, the new MF is a perk. And Iam sure in his infinite wisdom he means the actual PTR one
I have to say that its not a perk far from it, besides some dungeons wich just requires some caution. The new version its nothing like a perk for obvious reasons its just a nuisance, requires 1 more bind, and I can count several reasons were we need MF and 1,50m CD wont be enough.
If they lower the CD ppl will just macro it and then becomes pretty pointless and even for those that dont macro, demo definitively don't need another button to press on that overcomplicated but fun AOE rotation
If they make it a toggle without CD and duration then I will be happy but even then I will just run with it turned on 99% of the time, I don't see the point

You had to remind me didn't you? I bought a Razer Naga to get a few more buttons to press (I already had the steelseries MMO mouse) and I am fresh out of keybindings.
Gonna be lovely to get another couple! I'll have to be real creative. I might invest in those race-car pedals. That way I could have another couple of buttons (maybe even with modifiers on top of that) for my feet. Great direction this game is taking. More buttons yus!
Its not just about having a extra button its about bringing pointless complexity to the table, Demo AOE rotation would take what 7 buttons now? Most classes single target rotations dont take that much, Its alot of fun but it absolutely doesn't need another button that will end most of the time just get macroed
HOG, storm, Carrion, Void Ray, Aura of elements, immolate aura and now MF

@HeelvsBabyface This was a nerf to an ability that many locks didn't even take in 5.0.

MF + spell effects level 100000, I loved seeing if it would crash me.

It is funny that they present it as a QoL change.
- Hey! You now do not have to RoF single target for embers!
- Great! How do we generate embers now instead?
- ... <awkward silence> brb to ask boss
Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.
Please please please tell me that this doesn't make immo aura a single target dps increase again....Originally Posted by Blizzard Entertainment
I can't help but feel that this change increases affli/demo AOE overall but gives next to nothing to destro - it should affect FNB in my opinion - and just provides a plethora of minor nerfs (demo cleave, huge ranged knockback/interrupt gone etc).
Finally, that comment on RoF no requiring mannoroths fury for single target... just wut?
I guess if the Fel Flame change is to continue to hobble our basic mechanics then it's par for the course so far this patch.
Next up, Lifetap is channeled with a cooldown.
I like how they continue to kick Manny fury and think they are making favors with giving it damage buff to RoF. RoF don't do enough damage unless you put immo on bosses, and FnB Immo won't have range increase. Any niche places where 'new' Manny would be useful (Gara'jal) are now cut as well. And with ember generation being thwarted on rof with no buffs to horizon for Destro, it's prolly won't even be really worthwhile to use on Primordius.
If the increased aoe damage from MF is a flat 100% to all the mentioned spells, affliction is gonna benefit a lot more than the other 2 specs. RoF and immo aura are a 'small' portion of the aoe rotation, while soc is pretty much 90% of afflictions aoe damage.
As a demo warlock, this change looks pretty interesting. I can see us use this as a burst cd even on singletarget if the fight has mechanics where the boss gets more dmg or you get a dmg buff. It should be a dps gain in a 2 target fight as well.
As destruction, this is wortless and lets me hope there is no durumu 2.0 in the sog raid.
Demo doesn't need the AOE buff, I rather hit more targets in the corrent content.
