AffliLock deserve this nerf, I 'm a destru main but switch on some fight to affli for the guild progress because affli is unbittable on so many boss...

and i realy don't undurstand how they could let the self healing of the affli so High... even cuting 50% of our life  steal let us a confortable sustain (currently you can stand in deadly Aoe and just over regen it....) .

true to that. but still has affli ever gotten a bit more rng protection. i play it myself and use very little unstables and still get like 1 soul shard every 10 min( i know a bit too much). so if they are gonna nerf the dps then give us a bit rng protection. cause that ruins the spec for me a bit. and i want to play it with the mage tower skin XD

Soul shard management is another story, and higly depends on ilvl and encounter type, but the fights where affi particulary shine are those where you can snipe adds/multi dot. and there you have no problem with generating ressources.

I agree on pure mono but i don't feel that it is frustrating anymore as the spec is not realy design for single target.

Not that I'm happy. I'm not playing warlock but it will be harder to kill bosses now.

Not so much, Frost (with 4p t21 + 2p t20) and Arcane are way better atm.

A couple weeks ago we pugged an Arcane mage and was doing over 3 mil on HIgh Command.... By pressing 1 button.

Also, from my understanding, Frost is much easier to play than Fire because it's more forgiving of mistakes or something like that whereas Fire requires exceptional reactive gameplay due to how hot streak works.

Affliction Warlocks have been the dominating spec for pretty much the entire expansion.  Untouchable on multi-target fights, and if played well enough unbeatable on single target fights.  Other specs have risen and fallen, depending on class and spec changes but the one constant is that Affliction has been in the top 3 all expansion.  You've had your day so please let others shine for once....

Uncommon Patron

I don't play high end bgs and/or arenas because it is my opinion and experience (hunters & rogues), blizziod, over the years has done an extremely poor job of balancing talents and power. Historically, the primary cause of these imbalances is blizziod's attempts to continually maintain and satisfy the two distinct aspects of WOW, PVE and PVP play. Early on, blizziod should have separated the two groups and kept them distinct. Instead, they chose to combine PVE & PVP into one. Because of this "all in one" decision to satisfy PVE & PVP play, I decided years ago to resign myself to playing low level RBG's for a number of reasons.

The constant, "tweaking" of talents, health, and power by blizziod is sometimes favorable, and sometimes not. I am weary of this "game tweaking" nonsense and await the release of Classic WOW. Hopefully, that might provide blizziod an opportunity to do it right this time!

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
