    Whenever I play my warlock, I end up missing the Legion version Affliction. That spec was just insane!

    because from Wrath > WoD I got and stayed at 1700 arena rating in 2's, by myself...

    affliction lock could easily take down any class solo (at least i could) and against certain comps, easily take down 2 as well.
    fear, dot, run, hide. drain life as they get closer. fear, dot, run, hide. drain life as they get closer. fear, dot, run , hide. match over...

    to echo someone elses comment earlier - Peee Veee Peee is the answer

    warlocks still are way tankier than most other classes. Have you ever tried killing a warlock in pvp? it's literally no different than going against a tank spec... except this tank spec also pumps the damage
    I 3d print stuff

    What the hell are you talking about?

    In the new class tree we got Soul Link! A passive 20% dmg reduction, previously Demo-only. Add to that the 10% stagger (which is worded weirdly) and 3% dmg reduction of Fel Armor and the Demon Skin passive (which you previously had to sacrifice Burning Rush or Dark Pact for) and you already have 23% passive dmg reduction, 10% damage delay, 0.5% shield and 0.125% life gain gain every second and ontop of that the passive Soulleech healing and absorb. AND we get 16% extra stamina. That's only the passive values!

    Active we have access to unending resolve, Dark Pact and various Drain life enhancements. Add to that the healthstone leech trait and the heal whenever a raidmember uses a healthstone! Currently it's worded a healthstone, so any healthstone counts. Also Mortal coil heal every 45 seconds. Soulburn also buffs drain life and Healthstone.
    Imagine a raid: Only BDKs and WLs: BDK for tanking and the WLs just juggle healthstones and rely on their absorbtion. Yes, you have to spec into that and sacrifice some damage traits. But being able to bring less healers because you get an extra WL is huge.
    I'm 100% positive that WL survivability will get nerfed while in Alpha, else we will once again be nearly unkillable like Affli in Legion.

    If I count correctly we got 3 major heal abilities, 2 damage reduction/shielding abilities, 23% passive dmg reduction, 16% more life, and 10% stagger, while regenerating life and stacking a shield passively and for every damage we do. So we got like 10% improved leech passively build in. Ontop of that a drain life enhancement, which can be specced into to basically heal to full in one cast.
    That's more than any other damage dealer or even some tank specs.

    And then add the spec specific stuff like Destru mastery, Haunt, Soul Rot, Siphon Life, Harvester of Souls and Grimoire of Sacrifice + Voidwalker sac. That's just the icing on the cake.

    And what a good ridance while at it to be honest...

    Warlocks were a very brain dead BUT immortal class in pvp for a long time. All they had to do was fear and dot you down. Then they are hyper mega armor, high HP and damage absorbs..

    Now they can do the same but it takes a bit of skill instead Imo much more fun.

    It looks like it's back for Dragonflight looking at the tree. Half the base tree talents are healing/absorb related.

    Well, we're getting about a 14% HP buff next expansion by the looks of it.

    Current: 1.2(1.15(100*1.1)) = 151.8% base HP

    New: 1.03(1.2(1.15(1.06(100*1.1)))) = 165.73% base HP

    In addition to the base damage mitigation, Fel Armor has more via delay. This allows quite a bit of survivability by delaying 10% of incoming damage over time, so long as your shield is up.

    These are all pretty easily obtained early on in the tree too. If you want to become a real powerhouse, you can buff up Healthstone and Life Drain by a pretty large amount.

    Edit: Well, post Nerf we are now looking at about the same amount as our current situation unfortunately. The last 35% of our HP, we take an additional 10% [Soul Armor] less and a 4% additional after using Demonic Teleport from [Abyss Walker].

    Edit 2: Slipped my mind the first time, we are also getting a 2% passive Leech [Fel Synergy] and a 4% less of a chance to be crit. [Demonic Resilience]
