CONCLUSIONS – if TLDR is your case:
-demonology tree basicaly has only 35 somewhat usable talents
-many talents are greatly underperforming
-many talents’ positions in tree have zero sense leading into the bitter taste from demo tree while leveling
-many talents have no use in PVP leading into demonology has only 24 talent points usable in PVP
-in tier 3 and higher (those demonology exclusive) are only 2 talents that can say: I’m here mainly for PVP – aura of foreboding (clumsy) & demonic empowerement
-in PVP department beyond tier 2 (those demonology exclusive talents) it lacks something from PVP category talents – heal / mitigation / instants - burst / constant pressure / control / utility , (maybe metamorphosis can cover some of these but it is one wild card in 3 min – 30 sec of glory and then back to the dust)
this is NOT BUFF ME to oblivion thread, this is MAKE ME NOT FEEL STUPID when I’m choosing talent points thread
PROBLEMATIC TALENTS:
master summoner completely useless – this makes demonology tree to actualy have only 35 talents
no use while leveling / soloing / 5-mens / raids / PVP
ancient grimoire nearly completely useless
+20 sec duration to a 10min CD with ~1k dps is 20 k more DamageDone every 10 mins – greatly underperforming, only noticeable when burn phase lenght is greater than 45sec, would be surprised if infernal/doomguard will live that long in PVP
impending doom useless in PVP, useless while leveling
talent obtainable at level ~20 is buffing talent obtainable on level 70
ebon imp currently is not scaling with anything
in PVP both aspects are useless
-bane of doom will be dispelled far before it does first tick damage, if it somewhat happens to summon ebon imp, with 5hp it will not live long
-shadowbolting in PVP does not happen concluding into metamorphosis always having 3min CD
inferno nearly completely useless
PVE - underperforming compared to other AoEs + self damage
PVP – self damage, PVP is definitely NOT time when I want to damage myself
cremation nearly completely useless
hellfire part is useless because hellfire is useless
refreshing immolate will more likely not reliably happen in real environment, 0,5sec window is not enough (compared to haunt & corruption – 7sec window)
molten core useless in PVP, useless while leveling
talent obtainable at level ~40 is buffing spell obtainable at level 64!!!
underperforming in PVE
no real use in PVP, low proc chance, procing from dispellable spell with cast time only to slightly buff another spell with cast time – at least it is no longer triggered from shadow bolting, what would never happen in PVP environment
aura of foreboding clumsy
might be ballast in PVE when tank needs reposition mobs
clumsy use in PVP
ABSTRACT – emo rant:
What happened to their goals?
-concentrated coolness - does not work here
-talents benefiting multiple aspects of game - does not work here
-having hard time choosing from good talents you all want - does not work here – it is perfect opposite, trying to avoid terrible talents
-feeling great while leveling - I’m stronger with every new talent point - does not work here
Sometimes I doubt of the intellect & rationality of people in charge of this game ...
