You deserve to be successful brother. I always brag "We have a Kalamazi" when talking about warlocks to people who play other classes. Thanks for everything you do for us.
@@T3hN3wB one of our guild officers who plays mostly warrior said warlocks were really lucky to have someone like Kalamazi and other classes were really at a disadvantage for a streamer/youtube personality that theory crafts the class so much.
I really like the idea of taking Dimension Ripper and Demonfire Infusion along side the tier set for a lot of flashy procs to really amp up the Chaos flavor on Destruction
Did some testing in the 11.1 PTR for the Destruction tier sets, here are some observations: The tier set bonus synergizes with the Raging Demonfire (12 bolts > 14 bolts reflected in tier set tooltip) and Demonfire Mastery talents, will extend Immolate/Wither duration which is great. Proc rate of “Jackpot!” ranges around 25 - 45% during dummy testing (Single Target). This results in CDF to surpass CB/SB in total damage, at 24% of total damage (15% from tier, 9% from hard cast CDF) in ST situation. The proc’d Demonfire does not need to be channeled and will not interrupt any casting. Boring tier set but is quite powerful (subject to final tuning of course). New talent Demonfire Infusion (passive DF bolt from Immolate/Incinerate) proc rate seems like a little low in ST situation and potential be good in AoE situation with F&B. This talent does not synergize with Raging Demonfire, no extra 2 bolts when proc’d, but will extend Immolate/Wither. Talent build played for the dummy testing (disregard the class tree): CsQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAgAAAgNDzMzsY2AzMAAAAwMzMbLzMbAAABAIWAAAAAAAAzMzYAA
Great video as always! Ideas for improving Destruction Warlocks' Dimensional Rifts to make the two talent nodes feel more impactful and meaningful. A key improvement could be addressing mobility during combat while also enhancing the damage potential of Dimensional Rifts. A capstone talent should go beyond simply increasing damage-it should make the gameplay smoother and more engaging. Suggestions: First Capstone: Introduce a stronger version of Dimensional Ripper that incorporates Unstable Rifts within the same talent point. Second Capstone: Place Dimensional Rifts here, granting 3 charges. This would allow players to strategically manage rift availability, ensuring one is always ready for movement or critical situations. If Dimensional Rifts feels underpowered, consider additional enhancements, such as: A 25% chance to proc Flame Rifts, or Shard generation for every rift opened. Alternatively, Blizzard could implement a two-way talent node, offering a choice between: Dimensional Rifts with 3 charges, or Dimensional Ripper with a passive proc for Flame Rifts. I believe these adjustments could make the talents more dynamic, impactful, and worthy of their capstone status.
Do you think since the Big 4 piece set Demo Dog is spawning where you are its going to be best to stay in mele so he doesnt travel ( similar to the Candle Confidant trinket)
the hog causing dreadbite/chomp/etc, i think that feels way too strong, and blizz might hit it They might reduce the dmg or put it on a % Chance based on how many shards spend.
Need to make the new tier sets for all classes/specs more special! Using that same jackpot, Insurance, etc... is boring. Everything sounds even more RNG than usual.
Thanks for the info 💜 btw fellow Kalamazians don't forget to sub, like and comment to show your luv & appreciation but more importantly to feed the algorithm godsnom nom nom
They are probably setting up the groundwork to finally remove aff from the game. It and It's not worth to maintain a spec for that one council fight per expanions.
In my opinion its a failure of design that we have to ask ourselves if this buff does work or not with the new dreadstalker. I think they should have given it a new model from the ground up and also have it named something else like puppymacfelface, and then also update the talents texts to mention its name if it does affect it. With this current thing we have to scout logs to see if this talent mentioning dreadstalkers covers it as well or not. Not to mention that it makes it harder to bug test.
Started watching for the info on aff tier set bonus, 37 seconds in and stopped watching, sorry kalamazi. But I will be back for the next video 😊 keep up the good work dude
Public Test Realm, it's Beta testing for the next patch. You have some parts of the next patch available for testing, sometimes systems, dungeons or raids. Normally you can copy one of your toons there and test stuff. You can install it from the launcher. However, I think you have to activate/sign up for this in your Battlenet account settings to have it as an option.
So for the Dog. It appears to be. Not as amazing as some of us Hoped. Bot nowhere near as bad as some of us Feared. Particularly when it comes to Tyrant and Talent interactions. Tuning making it dog-shit (pardon the pun), not withstanding. I think its pretty good.
I never understood why you do damage testing with the BFA dummies, either zuldazar or boralus. you did that in the past too and you always get unrealistic numbers. like your greater dog did nearly 900k crit on that dummy. that's almost twice as high as mine. and guess what? If I try this on the BFA dummies, I also get these numbers. there is obviously some scaling going on. But you could say "that might be right but the relative damage is the same then if everything does more damage than the dummies in OG or dornogal." But that's somehow not true. In my testings I found that in OG and Dornogal, my Greater Dogs sitting around 3.7-4% while in BFA they're doing 6-7% of my damage. So that is indeed some critical difference in there.
Yeah recent cities have an odd pvp flagging issue which cuts the tier set bonus in half damage increase wise. Need to be in BFA/older cities (non org depending on dummies) to test
@@Ahri8119 yes it was really strong, but very simple. I prefer a little more to my demo gameplay, like spreading dooms around and using the diabolist demons effectively
Extremely hyped for Demo set. I managed to get 3k IO maining only Demo and this is going to make season 2 sooo much better for m+.

No Vile Taint change made so sad bro, it's actually insane.

Did some testing and is it me or if you are not speced into Demonfire Infusion / Channel Demonfire tier set doesnt even work for destruction
I can not copy my characters. it says copy failed
Do you think since the Big 4 piece set Demo Dog is spawning where you are its going to be best to stay in mele so he doesnt travel ( similar to the Candle Confidant trinket)
For Demo, with the extra Demonic core(s) from tier does this give merit to Feast of Souls + Quietus in the Soul Harvester tree?
Hey Boss quick Question what u think of soul harvester demo?
Its ok, just not as good as diabolist
@Kalamazii but what makes diabolist better? I feel soul harvester is more consistent no? Is it bc Demo Mastery scales with big demons or what?
Don't apologize for 'plugs' buddy. you give so much value in your content.
Does pact of the imp-mother proc the dreadbites as well?
Heyy, where can i find your Weak auras?
how do u add details add-on into public test?
copy the folder over. interface and wtf
i've played affliction since cata, i hate that i never get invited. i LOVE the spec so much
I don't know why the Mayhem proc still refreshes/applies Wither/Immolate for free, regardless of the spell it copies, but I'll take it.
Still hoping for some Affliction changes! 😌
But Demo is looking fun and I haven't played it since 10.3, wouldn't mind going back to it in 11.1
the hog causing dreadbite/chomp/etc, i think that feels way too strong, and blizz might hit it
They might reduce the dmg or put it on a % Chance based on how many shards spend.
The 2pc sets are just basically what passive dungeonsets used to be and the 4pc sets are what 2pc sets used to be.
Need to make the new tier sets for all classes/specs more special! Using that same jackpot, Insurance, etc... is boring. Everything sounds even more RNG than usual.
Affliction tier set is DOA, I hope they rework it from scratch

So you’re having scuffed results in dornogal not in BFA
Yeah recent cities have an odd pvp flagging issue which cuts the tier set bonus in half damage increase wise. Need to be in BFA/older cities (non org depending on dummies) to test
I hope you know demo is the least played spec currently in season 1 retail
demo isnt even the least played spec of its class...... ?
@@Beamin439 wth u talking about
Praying on demos downfall 🙏I hate the way it plays now
Praying it stays how it is! The best demo has felt ever imo.
S2 demo will be the best demo gameplaywise since Shadowlands. Probably even better
Loving demo right now 3kio only as demo I'm pumped for next season
@@slipknotpurity00 For me it was the end of shadowlands with the third dog and decon.

So sick of demo. Why do people play it so much
Because it’s usually the highest simming spec
And because it's fun
Because it's fun? Personally, I love having a huge army of zerg in starcraft and I get a similar feeling with a massive demon army
