Mythic+ and other time trail style content hurts classes with low movement and high ramp up time. This hurts all 3 Warlock specs, especially Aff & Demo with the ramp up time. We LOVED playing em in Torghast etc, but that didn't capture the issues they face in M+.

I think this is part of a broader issue with time trial content. Some classes just don't mesh with it, meaning they can either retain their uniqueness & suffer, or become more homogenized.

We also messed up marketing. Things like losing Az traits, talent picks & interrupts were in the video, but many either didn't get to those parts or didn't really feel those criticisms due to the video's overall positive tone.

Also, we didn't take into account the lingering dissatisfaction with the Demonology Warlock's Legion revamp (where DH's nabbed Meta for themselves). That's a hard one to deal with, as our video will be treating the BFA revamp as the classes baseline.

Overall... - A number of talents could be baselined - Destro's 3m CD feels rough - Demo struggles to actually mesh with the game - A few bits of borrowed power from BFA helped general feel.

We also didn't mention some criticism that we've brought up before (like inherent borrowed power problems). That was so we weren't repeating ourselves, which is fine in principle, but much of the time people won't have watched out past videos / wont have them in mind.

Demos biggest problem since BFA has been that it has a lot of stand still and cast, which is counter to pretty much all raid content and led to the prevalence of imp-losion based haste specs which blizz didn't like.

I feel affliction felt more alive having shsdowbolt and instant proc shsdowbolt if that's gone and drain soul seems less interactive too I don't see the fun in the spec. New Malefic seems so unrewarding visually.

Thank you for acknowledging the missteps in an honest way. As you’ve summarized, Locks may feel good in some new SL content, but all three specs still have a long way to go toward full viability. The point shouldn’t be to just make them feel good in Torghast.
