Agreed. Hero talent icons probably need to be shown over class icons even in game once we get more used to them but I assume thats down the road somewhere
Hey Kalamazi, thank you for doing these, they are so incredibly useful. Other classes would really benefit from this kind of video treatment. I am sadly not raiding hardcore anymore but hope others might take some inspiration from you and fill this nieche.
Blizz needs to get off their buts and respond to the Hellcaller issue and let is know if it was broken and waiting on a fix or if it was a dumb intentional change.
Seed + UA + Haunt + VT + SR and only THEN MR Spam is NOT bursty. Warris literally use their cds and bladestorm everything - thats bursty. Aff has probably one of the longest ramps of any class. Lets hope blizz doesn't watch and believes this.
As a Destruction warlock player, I'm a little disappointed but sadly not surprised. Well, I survived getting through Nathria heroic with my casual guild when Destruction was even further behind and the raid was really overtuned. I'll manage - still not excited that Destruction is lagging behind on another opening raid tier.
Is it worth running shadow bolt over drain soul on the high movement fights while playing Aff? I would think the mobility with instant cast bolts might off set any potential DPS loss.

I am struggling a bit with affliction in raids where there are adds that spawns. I often find myself shard starved and have no way of spreading dots except for doing so manually but by that time they are often dead. Do you guys have any advice?
Main problem for me is that afflication/demo want completely different stats, so how can u switch between the two unless u have 2 sets of gear. I think just gonna go afflication haste mastery at this point as then can switch to destro as well as its the same stats.
Hi all, one fix question: Does it maybe makes sense when playing hellcaller to take a skill point (affliction tree) and put it into death embrace at the Button?
@marcpaulus6291 well, it's not like you are a human and can make a sovereign decision based on other people advisory. We are all bound to blindly follow guides, content creators and sims.
Things have already shifted a bit from this video with Aff and Demo. Use the ones on the site, but the overall specs are still pretty much the same recommendation wise.
I was so happy to see my dot do so much damage lmao But it evidently still stacks from jinx shard spends for curses in pvp enabled. Absolutely ridiculous
Thanks Calamari
😂😂😂
Every spec needs a Kalamazi
I’m the only one playing destro. I just love destro.
Destro for life 😎
just go play fire mage at this point lol

I'm playing destro as well
the blackened soul wither bug has been fixed!! blackened soul now triggers correctly with every spender now
For real!!??!
@@denziltock Yes, there is a post on Wowhead. It was an unintended change.
Yes it’s in hotfix notes

See the wl dc for the Infos from the pros 😅
I'm rolling Destro for every one of these fights.
Playing the worse spec is up 2 you.

I hope they fix the shard spending issue they introduced last bug fix so your bolts n rains actually add their stacks properly
@@loganmiller7969 This is the correct mentality
THANK you for your service
Also congrats for winning the MMO Awards!! well deserved
Warcraftlogs should split spec parses into hero talents. They are essentially new sub-specs and change gameplay/output for every spec.
Agreed. Hero talent icons probably need to be shown over class icons even in game once we get more used to them but I assume thats down the road somewhere
I say this since Beta.

How undertuned is Destro atm? Love the spec but am getting that 'avoid' feel from your vid....
I think its like 50k below the other wl specs in ST and more in MT
What are WL doing compared to other dps is what I would like to know.. I have a sense that we're pretty mid..?
@@ShadowsOfThePast demo and aff are below average and destro is rock bottom on ST.
@@davidw.5984 Ouch.. 😐 thanks for the info 👍🏻

bliz announced it was unintended and will be reverted back
I havent touched SH Demo at all yet, should probably get some practice in before the raid
f it playing destro in splits xD

This, this GCD issue is making HC and Diabolist unenjoyable for me. It feels like Blizzard didn't play those internally at all.

taurens can be warlocks? what have i missed lol, aff lock progressing Heroic currently
Nice
unholy always top dps meter lol
That's what I noticed. Man they're just wrecking! I might have to get my Unholy to 80 and see if I like it a little better.

Do we have an update on the wither change?
Whats up with the Wither Bug/nerf??? Any new Infos out ?

Whats the % of dps gain between Diabolist and Soul Harvest for Demo single target? Is there any sim?
Simmed mine at 588 about 5 mins ago and the difference is around 1k favoring SH
@@stindu7043 So its way under 1% dmg difference, not noticeable at all and still People like kalamazi then telling to play specc x because its better

The talents you're having in the video do not match the talents you have on your website. So which ones should we be using?

@@Kalamazii Alright. Thank you very much for everything.
Still praying it’s a bug!
im playing demo. sick of aff always being the raid spec tbh.
I'm so bored with Demo. Played it the last 2 X-Packs. Playing Affli now and loving it.
monday and still no response from blizz to wither bug awesome
Frustrating.

It's currently 5am pacific so I don't think anyone's working yet
They are on the west coast, so at time of writing, it is still 5 am there.
It's almost like it was the weekend and is currently 5 AM
Video summed up just play Demo :D
I hope destro gets a good buff as it is my favorite build, sad they are hating on it
@@theunderdog88 I'm running Destro every fight regardless. Update coming after first raid week.
@@DivisDruid same , training on aff a bid as i just came back from years of classic so its like a new class . But destro got my love for sure.
Idk why you hate on destro so much... its my highest dps. Aff is stupid low and demo is a good bit behind destro.
Because the other 2 are absolutely better.
@@ishehaxor not what I've seen.
holy crap 15 seconds ago. i’m first?!?!
Great video! Would it be worth using shadow bolt over drain soul on a mobile fight like Nexus Princess if you want to play Aff?
