never this drastic and game mechanic breaking.
rip affliction

Have you even been on the PTR? There has been little change to affliction. You still use SB:SS to put dots on, sure u cant cast UA on the move but its less than 1 sec to stand still and cast. You also cant use haunt on the move but same thing applies less than 1 sec.

I replied to the change from the xpac.
Playing affliction feels like shit, channeling like a spriest with instantly putting dots that dont do the max part of our dps while having more active CDs then ever with less passive selfhealing. Even the shield/armor swaping is gone. I dont know who ever asked for such a drastic change.

tl:dr, just another revamp qq from a pvp guy

for pvp yeah aff is pretty 'meh' its still good but is shut down with MG but even in cata/wrath i used drain life a lot in arenas. if MG worked differently like it put the extra ticks on the dots like a counter (like agony's count) then the MG casts took those off with each tick and they stayed on the dots even if u got interrupted then any unused stack would increase the effectiveness of your haunt by x% per stack while active or something it would work better

Affli is good as long as none focus on you, interrupt, stun, warrior with 2 interrupts and rogue

In wrath/cata drain life was a filler spell, something to do between fearing and doting. Now to dot you need 1 macro and mg is the by far largest portion of our damage. That way they made pvp very unfriendly to the spec and big pve mess.
