I love that feral can now do some solid M+ cleave bites but rake may not have been a needed nerf? maybe a lower rip damage?Comment by ScaryfoxI'm glad that Feral is getting some love albeit I also see Blizzard just wanting people to play that. Also, it's good to see Destro getting some love after all the complaints. Of course, that's not to invalidate them since this is game you have to pay for (and one I highly doubt is going to go F2P.)Comment by Ebonywas rake overperforming?

I thought this new talent tree would allow more opportunities to play Shadowburn, which is a way to give Destro some very needed mobility. But it just doesn't seem good enough on its own and many talents do not support it, creating a bigger gap between CB and Shadowburn.
Conflagration of Chaos doesn't even work the way I hoped it would when I first saw the talent, that is letting you weave some Shadowburns over 20% to spice things up.

Seriously, give it another thought to what's the role of this spell. Maybe it should be lower in the tree to justify the gameplay change and a much bigger DPET.Comment by Wh0stherewas rake overperforming?

Can't happen that not at least 2 warlock specs are in the top 3 overallComment by Berkleyof course Destro gets a huge buff since they weren't just the best class for a whole year straight. 30% damage buff at least and to round it all up Demo as well.
