The time when you're "raging" over something in WoW may not be the best time to post about it. This was one of those times.

Original Post:

I find myself extremly distressed by UA/Immo announcement.

Lets assume I get CoE duty, those things happen. So through entire fight I only refresh haunt (12 secs) and UA (15 secs), with occasional LT? Only 1 DoT??!! That's... not affliction. By the time 25% arrives I'll either expire from boredom or break my SB key. It's sunwell all over again, but instead of being imba bolters, we are gimp bolters...

Lets not mention how contradictory aff is: the imbalance of output dps % per talent point invested into a tree (I'm guessing dmg breakdown might be about 50%- dots 50%+ SB+pet) is totally weird. The simple question I would like GC to answer is why the spec that puts 51 talent points into dots doesn't really get to cast them, instead spamming bolt with frequency of real bolter specc...

Butchering Zakalwe's sims, SBing in CoE duty is, what? 1 corr 1 Coe 8 DS 20 UA 29 haunt 86 SB, that's 60% SBing and even more when you consider time spent casting... Closer to 70% in time between finishing startup and 25%. That sucks...

Ofc having Immo as it is live would not just solve the problem, but at least it would give illusion of actually playing hybrid dot/ bolt playstyle with stupid and inefficient spec - as opposing to SB spammer who forgot he didn't respecc to propoer pve build and tried to use raid rotation (that means spam 1 key) with non-raid build.

Mind you, I'm not exactly saying it will not work, just that's it's stupid and weird. I know 50/0/18 works, even if it might be close to bottom, but Im raging about speccing dotter and then having to spam SB...
