Best PvP Talent Build For Affliction Warlock
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; boost all of your Corruption by 10%, you don’t want to miss this since you are an Affliction warlcok.
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; boost your Drain Soul.
5. Soul Siphon; increase your Drain Life and Drain Soul spell.
6. Fel Concentration; make it harder for your enemy to interrupt your channeling spell.
7. Nightfall; throw that instant Shadow Bolt to your enemy for extra damage.
8. Empowered Corruption; boost your Corruption spells.
9. Siphon Life; increase some DoT spells damage and heal you when you use Corruption spells.
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; increase your Shadow spells damage 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. When it dispelled or ends the soul return and heals you for 100% of the damage.
You may have read other pvp guide for warlock that recommend to spend the points that left in Demonology to make you harder to kill, but for this warlock talent build, I’ll pour some points in 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 a guide for World of Warcraft 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. Without it, you are less dangerous than a Baby Bunny.
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; I can’t give you real solution for this. You still have chance to win, but it will be more difficult to creating distance since your opponent can chase you with their full speed.
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 another look at Ultimate World of Warcraft Guide 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.
