00:00 - 00:05I spoke to the class devs earlier "Hey what are we doing with warlocks next patch?"

00:05 - 00:07Patch 9.1 is just around the corner

00:07 - 00:10What can we do to balance them?

00:11 - 00:16Maybe we can buff the dot damage, re-distribute where the DPS comes from, re-work the spec as a whole

00:17 - 00:21Nerf MR by ~30%

00:21 - 00:2430% to malefic Rapture

00:29 - 00:31THIRTY Percent

00:31 - 00:34But hey at least we buffed agony!

00:38 - 00:40Agony buffs!!

00:41 - 00:47We even nerfed the one niche they had in RBGs by forcing people to use more globals to slow enemies

00:47 - 00:50They now will need to use corruption and a curse to slow

00:50 - 00:56And don't even get me strarted on Shadows Embrace. You'll love this!

00:58 - 00:59We thought it was too good

00:59 - 01:01So you might be thinking what's the worst we can do?

01:04 - 01:06You can apply it to only one target

01:06 - 01:08Have fun shard sniping

01:13 - 01:14One target

01:14 - 01:16Do you know what that means?

01:16 - 01:20If you shard snipe, you'll lose it on the main target

01:21 - 01:27Now they can't target swap without being forced to re-apply everything

01:35 - 01:36But hey on the bright side

01:36 - 01:39We improved warlocks elsewhere

01:41 - 01:44Now for the positive warlock changes

01:44 - 01:47We recognized Destruction is underperforming

01:47 - 01:49Demonology is also in a weird poor state

01:50 - 01:53As for Demonology

01:54 - 01:56We didn't do anything

01:56 - 01:58We don't know what to do with it

01:58 - 02:02We rather you just don't play demonology

02:05 - 02:07Demonology

02:10 - 02:11Destruction...

02:11 - 02:13Wait till you hear this

02:15 - 02:17We heard the complaints

02:17 - 02:20So we thought to ourselves

02:21 - 02:28Lets just give them a chaos bolt buff by 10%. That'll shut them up

02:29 - 02:30Just 10%?

02:30 - 02:32Yeah it's fine!

02:36 - 02:39That should bring all three warlock specs more in line

02:40 - 02:42right at the bottom

02:50 - 02:55I think we out did ourselves this time. Maybe people will re-roll and buy token boosts

02:56 - 02:58Won't a lot of people be pissed?

02:58 - 03:04That's a problem for customer service. More people will re-roll and that's more money for us so who cares

03:04 - 03:09I mean we made it alt friendly for a reason

03:09 - 03:11Dios mio

03:16 - 03:20Lowest represented class

03:23 - 03:26Maybe now people will want to try warlocks out

03:31 - 03:36Warlocks in 9.1
