Developers’ notes: We’re increasing the throughput of Affliction and Demonology by primarily focusing on their single-target tools with a secondary focus on their multi-target kit. Additionally, we’re considerably increasing the damage of Warlock demons so that they have a larger contribution to overall throughput. This should also help a bit more with aggro concerns during solo play.
