Corruption, Command, and Chaos
The Warlock is a master of dark power, bringing indispensable utility and devastating damage to any raid. Our philosophy enhances the distinct identity of each pact: Affliction's slow decay, Demonology's symbiotic mastery, and Destruction's overwhelming force are all polished to a razor's edge.
Affliction 💀
Target: No DPS Adjustment (Focus on QoL/Ramp-up)
The patient torturer, weaving a symphony of suffering. We smooth out their rotation and enhance their execute phase, making their DoT management more fluid and satisfying.
Core Fixes 🔧
A new passive talent allows you to refresh your DoTs without "clipping" them, adding the remaining duration of the old spell to the new one. A massive improvement to rotational flow.
Drain Soul ticks now have a chance to generate Soul Shards, and Shadowburn will refund a shard if it lands a killing blow, making shard management less punishing.
Power Infusions ✨
A new baseline spell that haunts a target, increasing all of your Shadow DoT damage against them by 20%. This provides a clear burst window to manage.
Your Drain Soul ability now refreshes the duration of your core DoTs during the execute phase, making it a powerful culmination of your suffering, not a replacement for it.
When Unstable Affliction or Agony expires, it spawns a weaker copy on a second nearby enemy.
Passively increases your DoT damage. Overhealing with Drain Life grants nearby allies a temporary DoT damage buff.
Demonology 👿
Target: No DPS Adjustment (Focus on Pet Scaling/Utility)
The true demon master, fighting alongside a powerful minion. We elevate this spec from a support role to a true symbiotic powerhouse, fulfilling the fantasy of demonic transformation.
Core Fixes 🔧
The Felguard and other demons now inherit 100% of the Warlock's Spell Power as Attack Power and significantly more Stamina/Armor, making them a true extension of the master's power.
Your Felguard now generates significantly more threat, making it a viable tank for solo content and a more reliable off-tank in dungeons.
Power Infusions ✨
A new capstone talent. Transform into a powerful demon for 30 seconds, gaining increased damage, armor, and enhanced abilities. The ultimate payoff for a Demonologist.
A new baseline spell that instantly empowers your active demon, increasing its haste and healing it. Provides on-demand pet burst and survivability.
Increases your spell damage by 10%, and your pet's criticals apply the Demonic Pact effect to your party, increasing their spell power by 10% of your Spell Damage for 45 sec.
Your Hellfire now brands nearby allies, causing them to deal increased Shadow damage to burning enemies.
Destruction 🔥
Target DPS Tune: -12-16% (Tune burst, improve utility)
The pyromancer of fel fire, seeking only to unmake the world. We refine their arsenal to provide more tactical flexibility and control over their immense, chaotic power.
Core Fixes & Buffs 🔧
Searing Pain's scaling is improved, making it a more viable filler spell for high-threat situations or when movement is required.
Casting Conflagrate now triggers Backdraft, massively increasing your casting speed for your next 3 spells. This provides a crucial window for burst or mobile casting.
Power Infusions ✨
A new capstone talent. Fires a bolt of pure chaos that cannot be resisted and pierces through all absorption effects. A reliable and iconic nuke.
A new talent that curses a target, causing your single-target spells to also strike the Havoc'd target for a percentage of their damage. Unlocks powerful cleave potential.
Casting Rain of Fire now leaves behind a Pyroclasmic Zone: enemies inside take increased Fire damage and you leech a portion of all Fire damage dealt.
