Filed under: Warlock , (Warlock) Blood Pact Greetings fellow Warlocks ! Welcome, to our wicked weekly: Blood Pact ! Here, heretical happenings are heard, diabolical deeds are done, and alliteration is always awesome. So continue to sit at your computer, continue to read your monitor, and enjoy the ramblings of Old Man Sentai as much as you’re able. I’ve dreaded the coming of 3.1 for awhile now. I love the new features of course. Being able to switch to a spec with replenishment any time my raid needs it will certainly be handy, and Ulduar will be a nice change of pace once I get in there — even if I really wanted to get a few more Naxx achievements done before moving on. What I don’t love is the new Affliction. There’s so few buttons I feel like I’m playing Burning Crusade style Destruction. ( Shadow Bolt , Shadow Bolt , Shadow Bolt , Shadow Bolt …) 3.0 Affliction’s rotation went something akin to Shadow Bolt > Haunt > Corruption > Siphon Life > Curse of Agony > Unstable Affliction > Immolate > Shadow Bolt Spam, followed by dot refreshments as needed, and Drain Soul once the target was below 25%. There was some variation based on whether or not the group wanted Curse of Elements , or whether you liked your short duration dots to go up first, but on average that’s how it was. Now that Siphon Life has been removed as an active spell, as well as Unstable Affliction and Immolate being altered so that they’re mutually exclusive on a given target, two dots are out of the rotation. I’m sure it’s a welcome change for some, but I’ll be referencing the period between 3.0 and 3.1 as the golden age of Affliction from now on. Oh well, such is WoW.
