GrimSac probably is the best now. Waiting on the obvious sims hahah

Can't wait to try it out tomorrow. Well deserved buffs for afflic !
Afflic should be amazing in single and council types, IMO.

Sac was already best for all situations in HFC aside of council if you played affi, where sup was better.

Actual Warlock buffs? Someone at blizz must of lost a bet.

Nah, it wasn't. Check all the logs to current mythic and you see them all running Sup, at least the first 3 on each boss @Warcraftlogs.
I didn't bother with HC but I doubt it's any different.

[Bluesftw]

Im sure its just a typo, they meant decreased.

[Noxate]

I mean Ill take it but Im kind of surprised. I thought we were in a fine spot.

[Advo]

They must really not want us to play demo

[Count Zero]

Awesome. Gonna bust out some Afflic action finally

[evertonbelmontt]

Cross fingers, it's still in test. AND STAY SILENT!

[Fenzha]

I made the mistake of scrolling further down on the official post. PvPers complaining over those aff buffs everywhere.

[evertonbelmontt]

Holy shit... now i'm scared too. There's a LOT of angry pvpers there oO. I'm gonna tweet warcraftdevs and ask them to think about pve for a moment. Afflic has been restricted because of pvp for too much.

[Leyl]

Not gonna bitch about a good set of Aff buffs and Destro buffs.

[JV Chequer]

Probably affliction and destro will be pretty close @ Single target.

Or even better.

Affliction

If that arrow is pointing to between arcane and frost, yes, most likely that should be your position on pure patchwerk as afflic. I'd say it's about 17% dps increase overall.

[Bulwarkcoco]

I'd say more of a 10% increase considering the amount of time haunt is actually up.

I'm thinking GrimSac will make it a little higher than that. We'll see, but i'm thinking about 10% to 15% in practice. Those sims are showing pure patchwerk if i'm not mistaken, it's basically nonexistent.

PS: I was saying 17% dps increase on sims, in case I wasn't clear.
