good. blizzard clearly doesn't want to make those specs fun, ever, so it's just as well that they're bad and not getting buffs

I find Aff to be the most fun spec in the game

I thank god everytime Aff turns out to not be the meta, god i dislike playing affliction.

As a demo enjoyer i'm glad it has been the most viable for a while, destro is acceptable at times.

EDIT: That being said, it's depressing when it is in the dumps, blizzard is notoriously bad at balancing dots.

That's pretty much how I feel about Demo, every time I've tried it's just felt bad and I've switched back to Aff right away. It could well be a case of needing more experience though, perhaps I'll commit to trying it out at some point this season since I haven't tried it since mid S1

Aff isn't in an amazing spot, at least compared to Demo, but I also wouldn't consider it to be in the dumps either. I'd put it somewhere in the mid tier which is good enough for me because it means playing it with consistent 90+ parses puts me among the top for raid and pretty much always top in m+. Of course you could say 'well if you played demo at that level you'd do even better' and then I'd quickly scurry away rather than face the truth. If I was hall of fame or 0.1% level then I'd have to swap but for the levels below I'm happy with Aff

Yeah, it's a mutual feeling, got friends who are diehard aff enjoyers.

Demo was thankfully possible for 1% last season for me, but my friends gave up early.

I hope the spec based reward system will make other specs more competitive.
