Affliction bugged, or nerfed

[seaneffigy223]

Doing much less damage, on frostmourne realm. Have tested same buffs, and same raid comp. Started noticing this dps decrease a couple weeks ago. Anyone else confirm. Doesn't make sense to be going from doing 7.4k dps to 6.8k consistently

Speaking as someone with afflictions on all three realms , yes we've either been bugged again or nerfed not a fun thing.

Any more specific information? Which ability do u see doing less damage than supposed to? I can see my dps being completely fine.

Going to have to do more testing as it's not very obvious. One of our guildies came back from being afk a week and noticed the same thing too with affliction. So far it seems like our top 3 damage abilities are the same as before our damage decrease.

After doing some testing, it seems that on BOSS targets, UA, CoA (CoA has no variance too), and Corruption randomly tick for 10-25% less DMG than they are supposed to be doing.

How do I know how much it is supposed to be doing? I put corruption on a non boss target and it ticks for 1183 every time. On the boss target, it ticks for 1183, 953, 1063 all randomly.

On normal targets(non boss target) UA, CoA and Corruption tick for the same amount every time.

So on bosses, afflictions dots sometimes tick for less damage. Can anyone else test this? Took off any proc based gear ( trinkets,lightweave etc) Targets were max hp during testing. never triggered death's embrace.

That is normal vs Boss target. Check this: https://www.warmane.com/bugtracker/report/37371

An example here vs LK (Retail log): http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/n...2Corruption%22

Estier Corruption The Lich King 1217 (R: 120)

Estier Corruption The Lich King 1352
Estier Corruption The Lich King 1216 (R: 120)
Estier Corruption The Lich King 1081 (R: 239)

(so it is not a "warlock bug")
