Looks like they finally listened to retarded huntards like Braindeadly(check out the buffs hunters got) and frost mages remain untouched with their 100%-0% shatter burst.

If you're gullible enough to play Pandaria, prepare to spread dots that won't kill a thing as you do on live.

cause taking 50% off braindeadlys hp after he left arenas with just agony & corruption is perfectly fine...

would be nice if locks would come back to where the rest of the classes are after a whole expansion of domination (and blizzard not giving a !@#$).

Nice to see the developers have their priorities right

Illusion (New) Transforms the Mage to look like someone else for 2 min. Instant. 30 min cooldown.

Nice new fun spell for mages while important issues such as mega slow ember generation for destro is ignored completely despite pretty much everyone agreeing it's far too slow.

A few other things to note... 10 sec CD on blood fear. In my opinion it should be 8 seconds but GJ braindeady.
Secondly, this is pretty old i'm sure but i only just noticed that there's no more soul harvest... no i don't count the crappy passive to be soul harvest... unusable in arena --_--

Lastly it's nice to note that generally overall damage across all classes has been increased overall... !@#$ing retarded news there. What is the developers aim for this game? Do they want end PvP to become like the 10 - 14 bracket...

So i take it you think its perfectly reasonable to take out 200k of someones HP inside Instafears?

Honestly, there are as yet undiscovered tribes in the rain forest who know warlocks are way to strong in Beta.

You cant not have expected nerfs.

Do you know what gear he was wearing in that video? No? So maybe he was in pve gear. Pretty sure you are forgetting that every other class on beta is capable of putting out the same amount of damage in the same amount of time. I'm not going to get into another argument on how many biased things are in his video.

You know not everyone does 3v3 arena. How about making destro viable and not completely terrible for a whole expansion seeing as its's the only spec i even care about.

Blood fear was bugged on beta and was not correctly breaking on damage.
In addition to this every other class is fully capable of doing over 200k dmg in the amount of time those DoTs killed him.

Warlocks were destroying DPS meters in PvE and absolutely domination PvP, this nerf was well deserved and you all know it, If you think you deserved to do 130k dps whilst everyone else was doing 80k or knock 50% of someones health with two dots.

Yes braindeadly is a drama queen, yes everyone has been moaning incessantly about silly things to do with the class outside of the crazy damage we were dealing on the beta and the multitude of bugs suffered just because blizzard want to repopulate the class.

There may be issues with certain aspects of the spec such as destruction mentioned above but for now I'm glad the balancing came early.

Also if any of you are still fooling yourself that we were fine, look at ANY 90 raid preview video with a warlock and tell me that them being a mile ahead of everyone on any meter is balanced, Infact I could like various mage,shaman, healer PoV raids done on the PTR and show you in every single one a warlock was top despite the mechanics because specs like demonology don't care about movement and afflictions damage still rolling over on the move.

The increased chance to generate embers on immolate crits is not enough, need more passive regen in my opinion

New destruction is boring as !@#$ with long casting times. And yeah, nerfs were inevitable. No %^-*ing idea why did they buff hunter damage by 100-200%, and even moonkins who are killing people in six instants.

Moonkins will receive damage nerf, it is for sure and expected by most of us (already a mild nerf came by reducing chance for starsurge proc). We are more than happy to finally gain some on demand burst and survivability, but lets focus on locks:)

Destros and demo need some boost for pvp, that is for sure. They need too much time to build up comparing with other classes/specs and still destros have no immolate protection

About affliction it was expected. About instant fear i agree with

10 secs is making it unusable at the very least and 5 secs WAS too short

Edit: Oh and that 90 lvl portal thingie needs to cut its cast at half.
