Despite all the "Kill Warlock" and "Warlock sux" threads, I'm deciding on trying to bring up a normal discussion.
Do you think Affli go straight downhill at the change of power between Primary and Secondary stats? As far I've seen and know, Mastery is > Intelect for Affliction warlocks. Therefore it seems logical that their dps will suffer( which is kinda sad already ).
However, I saw some "stat changes" from the PTR and Live and after squish, I saw about 5-to-8% difference on the main secondary stat ( which is stacked the heaviest obviously ). That doesn't seem that frightening and if we are receiving some bonus DPS from the base of the spell, because of the Primary stat buff, things should balance out.
Only downside would be that there are some cool trinkets that give you + Mastery/ Secondary stat and + efffect, which would most likely make them weaker compared to flat + Intellect trinkets.
Any thoughts?
