Aff needs a new DoT

[Nightelf333]

Since the changes will push affliction to have more emphasis on its dots, why don’t we add another dot since siphon life barely does any damage to begin with?

It could be a deep affliction talent that changes your immolate to a shadow version (making the icon and animation purple) that way it has a vanilla feel rather than just adding unstable affliction.

Just thought aff locks might need more help dot wise since you’ll really just have 2 main damaging ones (corruption and curse of agony). siphon life seems it will only be useful to buff drain soul from the new talent

But why tho? Most mobs die to quickly for just the 3 dots you have.

You do have plenty of options with drain soul/life/mana,.dark harvest, shadowbolt or searing pain to click once your dots are ticking. Also nothing in the game prevents you from using immolate if you want to...

but aff is getting a new DoT, even getting the ability to use two curses...

[Nightelf333]

I was referring more towards raids, and the new ability will be a channel/drain enhancing your dots. Also you’ll be able to use a damage curse and utility curse not two damaging ones.
