Comment by VojtikI presume ROP will be dead talent (again) for Frost. It was quite fun to use it.Comment by lifekillsAs i continue to say. If affliction warlock will do something in pvp they will nerf it withing a week even if it's garbage in things like survivability. And they did. meanwhile rogues/hunters/ret destroying people is ok, healing who used to rofl disple UA since legion because it do no damage can do it again.Comment by cparle87I wish they were this fast at fixing moonkin bugs that actualy affect gameplay. Celestial guardian still doesnt work with Renewal since 8.1 (maybe even bfa release)Comment by lifekillsWhy do they keep messing with the UA dispel damage. It needs to be high because of it just being on a single target, or 3 in PvP at reduced damage. If it does stupid damage then the silence needs to last longer or something. Having it deal crappy damage just makes healers unafraid to dispel when they really should be afraid to dispel and contemplating the tradeoffs. Aff isn't having its 80-130% haste anymore where you can put the DoTs up right away.Comment by NymrohdDamage caused by Starfall will break the caster out of stealth.Comment by hotaru251 Unstable Affliction's damage dealt when it is dispelled has been reduced by 35%.Comment by kinarkSo no word on if the raid difficulty change/raid lockout change (ICC mount farm nerf) was intentional?Comment by Yarschfirst!Comment by Ced42So no word on if the raid difficulty change/raid lockout change (ICC mount farm nerf) was intentional?Comment by Leodagan38Blizz on bug fixes that benefits player: Let's get that hotfix out asap!

Blizz on bugs that work against the player: Eh, we'll work on that some other time.Comment by desforeSo... what did they do to fix the Sun Darter pet?Comment by DotpixelWhy do they keep messing with the UA dispel damage.

Anything substantial whatsoever, WHEN?Comment by Sepulchre778What about those of us who only play lock for demo...? Do we not matter?Comment by DakoroUhhh, spriest damage is only busted in PvE and that is due to the shadowy apparitions azerite trait.

In pvp, it's their survivability that makes them busted. Warlocks have insane AoE burst, you have no idea what you're talking about.Comment by WalkerfinDamage caused by Starfall will break the caster out of stealth.Comment by JCarr178the only way to get blizzard to change anything these days is to break it and mock them on youtube relentlessly... seems like they should be focused on more feedback than thisComment by LokosiNerfs every patch notes for warlock when they are already worse in offensive cds and defensive cds than shadow priest.Comment by WhiterockMany Burning Crusade gems have had their stats updated to the correct numbers.Comment by BuryTrollbump
