I feel like I'm slogged down and walking through molasses compared to my melee classes. I have 3 second cast spells that don't hit harder than instants on my melee classes, and my main filler is 2 second cast and hits for basically nothing. I have no mobility and have to stand still and cast for such long periods to deal damage nowhere near comparable to melee.
This class is really slogged down and I don't like it. WOD destro was really fast paced and interesting. The only way to fix these slow casting spells is to spec into backdraft and reverse entropy, but then I'm stuck with a 4 button rotation(no shadowburn) that's extremely dumbed down compared to WOD destro
Why is shadowburn a talent? Why is backdraft a talent? Why don't we have a burst cooldown anymore to line up with our chaos bolts? Why does chaos bolt do such trash damage for such a long cast time? Why is demonic circle a talent? Why can't we take burning rush and dark pact anymore? Why does shadowfury have a 1.5s cast time(????) while melee have instant AOE stuns? Why doesn't shadowburn execute?
Why do we have to spend 6 artifact points into a life drain and life tap DR to get our good immolate artifact traits? 6 points of 0% damage increase, meanwhile melee get 7-8% damage per artifact point 99% of the time with very little garbage filler, yay?
Why has everything interesting or remotely fun been sucked out of this spec?
