PvP Guide For Affliction Warlock | The Best Talent Build
If you have been in PvP for a while, you may think that an affliction warlock is very easy to play: just throwing some DoT spells while keep retreating from the opponent; in fact, it takes a lot more than that to win the match against an expert player, thus in this pvp guide for warlock, you’ll learn how to take the most necessary talents to maximize your killing power and end the match ASAP.
Your Skills
Your primary weapon is your DoT spells, so it is only natural for you to pick the talents that give boost to your spells and DoT damage, but there are some other talents that you need too. Here’s the PvP Warlock talent build that focused on Affliction:
1. Improved Corruption; improve Corruption damage by 10%, it is an obvious choice when you play Affliction Warlock.
2. Suppression; increase your spells chance to hit by 3% and reduce mana cost for your Affliction spells by 6%.
3. Improved Curse of Agony; improve your Curse of Agony’s damage by 10%.
4. Improved Drain Soul; increase Drain Soul spell.
5. Soul Siphon; increase your Drain Life and Drain Soul spell.
6. Fel Concentration; having this will make it even more difficult for your opponent to distrub your channeling spells.
7. Nightfall; surprise your opponent by hurling an instant Shadow Bolt at him/her.
8. Empowered Corruption; increase your Corruption spell damage.
9. Siphon Life; increase your Corruption damage while being healed at the same time.
10. Shadow Embrace; increase the power of Haunt and Shadow Bolt. At the same time also reduce all periodic healing such as Priest’s Renew.
11. Shadow Mastery; power up your Shadow spells by 15%.
12. Eradication; when dealing damage with Corruption spells, there is 6% chance to increase your spell casting speed by 20% for 10 seconds.
13. Contagion; increase the damage of your Corruption spell and at the same time make it harder to be dispelled.
14. Malediction; increase your spell damage by 3%. It also increases your periodic critical strike chance of your Corruption and Unstable Affliction by 9%.
15. Death Embrace; increase your Drain Life by 30% when your health is below 20%. If your health is below 20% in 5v5 you will be dead in seconds, so it is not that useful in team PvP, but it has some effect in 1v1 battle. The other effect is increasing your Shadow spells damage by 12% when your target’s health is below 35%; this is very useful to finish the battle quickly.
16. Unstable Affliction; 1150 Shadow damage 15 second with 2070 damage and silence effect as “bonuses” for whoever dare to dispel it.
17. Everlasting Affliction; your Haunt and Drain Life spell can reset the duration of Corruption spell on the target.
18. Haunt; deal 654-673 Shadow damage and increase all DoT on the target. If it get dispelled or finished, the soul will come back and give you healing that equal to the damage dealt.
Some other Warlock PvP guide may suggest spending the rest of your point in Demonology for better survivability, but in this Warlock talent build I will put some points on Improved Shadow Bolt. It is useful for your Nightfall talent and as a reserve spell in case your curses are not work well on your opponent.
The Affliction build also applied in PvE, you’ll just have to adjust some talents, read the PvE buld at world of warcraft warlock guide for Affliction warlock.
Your Enemy
Most of the time, you may have victory with simple tactic:keep retreating while bursting DoT spells and Fear, but what if some people have done their homework thoroughly and they come well prepared to counter those skills? These are some skills that dangerous for you:
1. Drain your mana; you are fully depending on your mana for combat. A warlock with no mana is no threat at all.
Solution: Depending on circumtances, you can add your mana by using Life Tap; just be very careful when you do so.
2. Remove your curses; unless you have Shadow Bolt or any other direct damage skills on your sleeve, you have very little option left to win the battle when your curses removed.
Solution: Having Contagion and Unstable Affliction can make it harder to dispel your spells.
3. Resist to Fear; there are no real solution for this one. You can still win the battle, but it will be harder since they can catch up with you.
The solutions above are only making it harder for your opponent, but it will not make you win the battle. To increase the odd of winning, you must study the strength and weakness of each class, your own included. A good counter strategy can be developed based on those data.
I’m not recommend you to do the research on your own since it will takes a lot of time and effort, I suggest that you read ultimate wow guide review to get the best solution to this problem. Not only it cover detailed pvp strategies for warlock, if you want it can also teach you to level and fund your warlock.
