Destro Changes, POST FEEDBACK HERE

#1 - Nov. 17, 2016, 1:49 a.m.

I am desperate. I need to know, I need to have some sort of insight as to what the thought process is in the changes the team is making to Destro. Not only the changes but why the team has let warlocks slip into this state. Warlocks were !@#$ing awesome in MoP and even fun in WoD, but somehow you have managed to completely ruin this class. You have literally taken away everything that made the class fun and filled it with instant cast nonsense and no way to fight melee classes in pvp. Please, I beg of you, any blue reading this please respond and give me some sort of insight or answer. I have to know why your team thinks it is okay for warlocks to be where they are and to keep making ridiculous %^-*ing changes to the class like making shadowburn replace conflag. How on earth does that help pvp? Or even pve... the changes you have made the talent tree so far in 7.1.5 have successfully made destro single target EVEN WORSE THAN IT ALREADY IS. MY ILVL IS 865 AND MY DPS IS BARELY 200k single target.

Destro is in the absolutely worst state its ever been in in pvp because your team refuses to make utilities like teleport and coil baseline and replace them with things that will actually be useful. All you have done with the changes so far is make us even more likely to only have 1 choice in the tiers you have changed. WAKE UP. YOU HAVE COMPLETELY RUINED AND RAPED THIS CLASS. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO ARENAS WHEN I HAVE NO WAY TO FIGHT MELEE CLASSES

Please for the love of god just back backdraft and demonic circle baseline again. Every single warlock the pvps wants it back, and us having to choose them as talents is so unnecessary

7.1.5 is still being iterated. We will be happy to share more thoughts as we move into a more final state for each class on the PTR.

@WarcraftDevs:
Class updates for Patch 7.1.5 are still in progress, with much more to come. Please keep that in mind if you're looking at datamining.

This isn't datamined. This is actually on the PTR. Usually when I try to get users to test our new features on test-sites, I make sure the features are released in Workable order.

What the PTR looks like right now is some flipped switches on some Warlock abilities without anything that is actually testable.

I can see what direction Blizzard is trying to take Destro, and it sucks for PvP. Currently Destro has 2 options for builds. Instant cast spam vs Chaos bolt. The changes on the current PTR implies that Blizzard wants Soul Shards to ONLY be spent on Chaos Bolt.

Bravo...

And yet the PTR is a testing grounds where changes and fixes are still being implemented.

At the time of that tweet, it was datamined information, as the PTR was still coming up. The sentiment holds true, however - changes are in progress.
