warlock patch Affliction Changes
Von ennena, 04:41For Affliction, we're happy with their rotation. But, Drain Soul was causing them to be too strong in situations where they had a steady supply of small creatures to kill. We reduced the effectiveness of its on-kill effect in order to solve this. Additionally, Soul Swap was changed to cost 1 Soul Shard to push it into its intended role of being a more expensive but faster method of applying your periodic damage effects, wow po and better balance it against Haunt.
Drain Soul now creates 1 Soul Shard (down from 4 Soul Shards) when the target dies.
Soul Swap now costs 1 Soul Shard (up from none).
Soulburn: Soul Swap costs a total of 2 Soul Shards (up from 1).
