| 00:00 - 00:05 | I spoke to the class devs earlier "Hey what are we doing with warlocks next patch?" |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | Patch 9.1 is just around the corner |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | What can we do to balance them? |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | Maybe we can buff the dot damage, re-distribute where the DPS comes from, re-work the spec as a whole |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | Nerf MR by ~30% |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | 30% to malefic Rapture |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | THIRTY Percent |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | But hey at least we buffed agony! |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | Agony buffs!! |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | We even nerfed the one niche they had in RBGs by forcing people to use more globals to slow enemies |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | They now will need to use corruption and a curse to slow |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | And don't even get me strarted on Shadows Embrace. You'll love this! |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | We thought it was too good |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | So you might be thinking what's the worst we can do? |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | You can apply it to only one target |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | Have fun shard sniping |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | One target |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | Do you know what that means? |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | If you shard snipe, you'll lose it on the main target |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | Now they can't target swap without being forced to re-apply everything |
| 01:35 - 01:36 | But hey on the bright side |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | We improved warlocks elsewhere |
| 01:41 - 01:44 | Now for the positive warlock changes |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | We recognized Destruction is underperforming |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | Demonology is also in a weird poor state |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | As for Demonology |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | We didn't do anything |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | We don't know what to do with it |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | We rather you just don't play demonology |
| 02:05 - 02:07 | Demonology |
| 02:10 - 02:11 | Destruction... |
| 02:11 - 02:13 | Wait till you hear this |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | We heard the complaints |
| 02:17 - 02:20 | So we thought to ourselves |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | Lets just give them a chaos bolt buff by 10%. That'll shut them up |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | Just 10%? |
| 02:30 - 02:32 | Yeah it's fine! |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | That should bring all three warlock specs more in line |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | right at the bottom |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | I think we out did ourselves this time. Maybe people will re-roll and buy token boosts |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | Won't a lot of people be pissed? |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | That's a problem for customer service. More people will re-roll and that's more money for us so who cares |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | I mean we made it alt friendly for a reason |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | Dios mio |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | Lowest represented class |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | Maybe now people will want to try warlocks out |
| 03:31 - 03:36 | Warlocks in 9.1 |
