Warlocks Hellfire Ramparts

[valkry]

First of all, thank you to Nezreck for making this comp attractive to me.

Started levelling these guys up the other day, just showing off the comp at low lvls. 3,2,2,2 spec

[Nezreck]

hey hey , love it! can't wait to see more

[ebony]

shame this spec gets a reworked next week

it should be the about the same but a lot of the dmg is being moved to Dot's from DS

[Andreauk]

Nice, Always had a soft spot for Locks

For harder content won't that be better as we can cast most dots on the move?

It's the drain soul that gives the healing, 2x the dmg done by DS. So our self-healing might not be as good

but Siphon Life gets buffed a bit so we nerver know

These are the notes from what is going live. I don't see anything about DS getting nerfed?

Malefic grasp is drain soul

[Nezreck]

Yea there is going to be a sizeable reduction to our healing through the nerf of malefic grasp and siphon life, but i think the boost to all dots and pet damage may help out quite a bit on a majority of fights that require constant movement. I don't often run into fights where there is too much damage to deal with, but often i have issues fights that require me to move to the point where i am unable to heal at all.

Also the buff to dots/pets will make soul leech more valuable for movement fights where you can't get a drain soul off, it won't be dramatic in any way but it will likely be noticeable. As well as the change with phantom singularity might be pretty nice, i have never used it to be honest but there is potential value there.
