Affliction Hotfix Incoming. Again

So, the rolling haste hotfix was a double-kick, since it also refreshed corruption to it's hasted duration, not just tick timer. So a haste proc would easily cause corruption to fall off before haunt. People were using drain life to refresh it, but it was actually stronger dps to just re-cast corruption to begin with. You spend the GCD and reset corruption's haste either way.

However, there's now another hotfix hinted for December 14th or 15th, today or tomorrow. The simple addition was to add Shadowbolt to Everlasting Affliction. On one hand, this resolidifies the affliction rotation and removes wasted GCDs, but it also means the loss of even the slight haste rolling left in the spec. Corruption will be reset to your current stats almost immediately after a proc fades now.

This isn't killing affliction, keep in mind. The EJ numbers didn't take advantage of a superhasted rolling corruption. This nerf is bringing the spec more in line with those numbers, still above destruction.
