I hear ya. I'm tempted to roll another class.

What?? Are you not awed by the 'new and exciting things' Blizz has done with soulshards. And lets face it, Siphon Life and Immolate are 2 dots we SL/SL locks dont really need, amirite?
That means we can spend more time uselessly trying to fear targets.

QQ Moar, daddy likes it when you cry. they changed some aspects of SL/SL, learn to live with it or respec or better yet reroll. SL/CB is still melting faces

I'd agree with you except for the fact that the last round of "nerfs" upped my DPS by a fairly large amount.

Of course, except for a very brief (yet not brief enough in retrospect) period between levels 58 and 65 where I got a wild hair to try something different (and inferior, again in retrospect), I've been deep Affliction the whole way through, so I've been missing out on this hot half-Demo trick build QQ'ing.

Lucky me, I guess.

I don't like how squishy I still am in PvP and how undead can be immune to fear, etc., especially since I don't have enough haste to quickly howl at them after. But I'm enjoying decimation and lightweave and a ton of other stuff in PvE. Oh yeah, added a minor glyph for soul shards, so I can giggle when I grab 3 off a mob's death blow sometimes. :) Now I just wish glyph of life tap would get cheaper.
I'll be able to afford that about the time I finish T7.
