Currently I feel affliction is so unrewarding when trying to do aoe dmg compared to alot of other specs, even when completely talented into aoe. The amount of effort req to simply beat the tank on aoe is daunting.
I like the idea of Vile Taint, a little change to it like Vile Taint dmg is increased by X% for each enemy affected by Vile Taint, Corruption or Agony up to a maximum of Y. (To make sure it won't be used/abused for single target)
This would give us the option to opt into a talent to help with aoe, while also still maintaining the affliction damage over time fantasy.
Or simply reduce cast time of Seed of Corruption and make it apply agony when talented into sow the seeds.
Also, any changes to Deathbolt is welcome, I hate the fact that our single target is balanced around that one burst window, every 3 min with darkglare, without darkglare deathbolt feels like an instant shadowbolt that needs build up before doing any dmg.
