I'd have much rather seen Drain Soul/Life buffed by 50% or more than buffs to Corruption, Agony, Phantom Singularity
The buffs we got lock affliction even more into it's "great at Mythic trash, sucks at everything else" niche. Thanks in part to the stupid talent system where afflocks have to take Sow the Seeds to do AOE but it's totally useless for single target, and our single target being hideously low anyway.
As an afflock I just feel like the trash-bitch with no other purpose.
A fir emage can take aoe with minimal losses to their single target, where they can afford to take a loss anyway.
These changes are a bandaid, they address problems affliction doesn't have, and don;t adress issue sit does. I'm baffled why they went for across the board small buffs, when affliction needs targetted big ones. Notably single target, 10% on dots will do veyr little there, you'll still be way, way down on the totem pole.
Yeah yeah switch specs, except in M+ you can't.
