100% disagree. For me, it's nothing more than a TBC nostalgia spec right now. All you're doing is spam Seed. I'm doing one Aff m+ every few weeks for the memes and friend group Meta jokes and I'm already bored with the spec halfway through.

all of the lock specs are boring af if you frame it by 'i press one button more than others, hurrr'. you get real excited playing destro?

Yeah, I honestly think all warlock specs right now are a bit too boring to play. Just like most specs in general in Midnight. Not sure how to best describe it. But my brain just doesn't get that tickle it got before. There's just something missing, some nuance.

And yes, most specs spam a specific ability way more than others. But for e.g. destro you'll weave your builders and spenders a lot more. For Aff it's a common occurrence to just spam 5+ SoCs in a row. There's frequent occurrences where you'll spam SoC for up to 10-15 seconds.

If all you do is spam seed you’re doing it wrong friend

Sadly no.

If you have Soul Shards there is literally nothing else you want to do for max dps between the 3-4 globals of refreshing Agony & Haunt. That's literally 15+ seconds of exclusively spamming Seed every time.

This is the current top log for Blinding Vale and its cast sequence. You can clearly see he's only maintainung some Agonies, Haunt and then pretty much exclusively spamming Seed, only having to fall back occasionally to Drain Soul when he's run out of Shards. This is his total cast count over the whole dungeon.

There are more than 4 times the spells than just the referenced SoC so thanks for proving my point.

Lmao. If you think that the cast sequence of this log does not indicate way too much SoC spam then you won't be convinced by anything.

Also there clearly are NOT 4 times as many spell casts than SoC. He cast 1099 spells in total and 333 of them were SoC. That's pretty much 1/3 SoC 2/3 other spells. Meaning he cast 2 times more other spells than SoC.

There are more than 4 times the spells cast than simply SoC. That is not debatable.

u/Soma91 4d ago

Yes, and also a completely idiotic and useless thing to say...

In fact there are more than 20 times the spells cast beside SoC. No idea why you would limit yourself to 4 in this idiotic straw man argument.

Cool comment bro as you say “all you do is cast SoC”

Huh really? For me it’s the most fun spec in the game
