Unless you tested this and have numbers to back it up I call BS. As a raid buffed lock my crit rates are already around 50% and with emp imp they go to 70+%. Incinerate accounts for over 50% of a destro locks total raid damage too add in chaos bolt damage and you are looking at 60% of a locks total damage nerfed by 5%. Also the imp does not crit a lot. Maybe around 10% of the time so this will not balance out. Plus a lot of people are forgetting that the imp has to live--1 plasma blast on Mimiron hard mode will kill your imp instantly thus killing your DPS. The imp is so squishy on heavy AoE fights and now they are making you rely on it so much more?
This nerf was to kill warlock burst in PvP so yet again it was a PVP nerf that effected PVE, yet warlocks were not OP in PvP (or PVE). In PVP only a few locks were ever in the top arena brackets and those few had to work so much harder then a DK or Rogue who could face roll to 2500. So in PVP they are now nerfing destro locks burst by 5% damage + the resil which now effects ALL Damage. So in PVP destro locks will get a HUGE nerf--at least a 10-18% nerf in damage. GL killing a healer now who has 800+ resil thanks to these changes--this will just make mortal strike even more vital and guess what locks have no mortal strike so they will remain useless in arenas. gg
