Re: GC talks about Affliction difficulty and Pets

1) No. Having a talent that does X and then having a glyph that makes it replace X by Y completely does not make sense.
2) hmm... I don't really feel that it's needed... and it's not bursty either...
3) nice idea... however, it is a copy of conflagrate, which makes it less attractive. Furthermore, it will either be totally overpowered in PvP or useless in PvE since it takes three global cooldowns to activate it

how about having an ability on a 1-2 minute cooldown that does something like
- your next haunt will critically hit and applies corruption (and UA maybe) to the target or refreshes their duration if already up. But it might be again OP in PvP.

So you know how they are trying to change the soul shard system by making a normal spell more powerful? It would be cool if you could use it to summon a more powerful demon. Felguard on steroids FTW!!!

Re: Some thoughts on fixing aff trash dps.

Why not just have a Glyph of Nightfall: proc from ANY DoT?
Changes nothing already in place, adds burst damage. Easily replaces Glyph of Corruption.
Allows Glyph of Corruption to decrease time between Corruption's damaging ticks by 0.2 secs.
Changes nothing in place, adds more Aff trash dps.
On single targets it may mean more overall dps, so nerf SB a little. Destro and Demo don't care. It'll mean viable trash damage without OP on single targets.
I think also RoF has been waiting for help.
Add a stacking talent that increases RoF damage by 1% per affliction on any afflicted target, helps trash and doesn't affect single target encounters at all. Or maybe decrease channelling time by 30% but still does the same overall damage.

Please Blizzard don't make the Aff spec 'Shadow damage rather than DoT focused', make Siphon Life a DoT again. Add a new one!
Affliction was awesome when your ability to juggle heaps of DoTs was carefully handled. And sucked if you were not paying hardcore attention. Now it's nowhere near as fun. IMHO.

To fix trash and pet issue at the same time:
Getting Infernal out at same time as Pet is great idea. It doesn't need to last long either, because a new Infernal ability would be TO BLOW THE BASTARD UP for AoE fire burst damage over 5yds with DoT over 3 secs.

That'll solve everyones issues: New dot, burst damage and second demon out. Ta Da!

Tailor the Felhunter in such a way that he scales well with Affliction, and keep the Felguard and Imp on the path they are on now. Possibly even moving the Rain of Fire effect from the Doomguard to the Felguard (filling his last ability slot).
