Affliction and gosac

[Vestion 8]

So, now that Affliction is viable again, I have picked it up again and been trying to get back into it. Im wondering though, even though gosac was nerfed, and so was MG and soul drain, is it that bad an option now? I can understand if its a multi-doting fight, but in single target you still get the 20% extra damage on Huant, which is a huge source of damage for affliction now. Or are the nerfs just so bad that it really shouldnt be used?

Early numbers are showing all the Grimoires pretty darn close.  For multi-dotting, I'd still recommend Supremacy, but the difference between them is similar to Haste and Mastery's difference....not really noticeable.

Affliction was viable last patch also, I'm not sure what you're talking about.
