Affliction set negligible stamina

Post by Kentorianx » Wed Jan 01, 2025 11:33 pm

I dont know if its intended, a bug or unfinished, but the tier 2.5 affliction set has 0 stamina, tier 1 , 2 and 3 have way less stamina than the normal tiers, why would we want int if its only for mana?, we dont really want spellcrit, and we dont benefit from that stat in any other way, so why... We are suppose to be the tankier, with less mobility version of mage, but now if i decided to use t2.5 i would be running around on naxx with 2k health.

Agree 100%
Affli warlocks don't need intellect like main stat. Its spell crit - useless for us, need more spd/haste/some hit but Idk why our sets have more that garbage stat. I hope Twow GMs will change it someday.

completely agree. I really like the concept of a sadomasochistic warlock affliction. Who, during the battle, in order to maintain efficiency, must convert HP into mana and then replenish HP by sucking life force from the enemy. Life tap for affliction is very important in the rotation. And for this, you need a lot of HP. Due to incorrectly set stats in sets and other things needed by affliction, you have to enchant for stamina and HP.

Someone on the design team forgot that:
- Warlocks have Life Tap
- Affliction has the strongest Life Tap out of all warlock specs thanks to Shadow Mastery

A warlocks healthpool IS their mana, and using globals on lifetap is a good way to keep warlock damage in check and balanced.

They could make also siphon life increase the amount of life warlock get by 2/4/6/8/10 % for each damage over time present on enemy target (10%being fully dotted) to mitigate tap spam
