[BETA] Affliction Warlock Discussion

[Deleted]

Very difficult to gauge from the map icon for world quests. Some have the golden drageon & blue exclamation mark, but are still not so hard, while others look exactly the same and are REALLY difficult to solo. Since those are there for everyone and most people will do those as they usually reward doing them really well, you will very rarely be alone anyway.

Big affliction buffs throughout the board :O

Big? Haunt is a leveling talent or something that will be useful on very few fights. The buff to our filler spells will result in an overall damage increase of 2-4%

okay to be fair I am used to playing Starcraft and Dota where a change of like 0.1% is considered huge ^___^

I like the buff though. Hope they keep 'em coming

No.

Haunt increased by 15%, that's a typical "we know it's shit and no one will take it" buff. Thankfully, they didn;t adopt the other approach which was to nerf th eother two to make Haunt look more attractive

The other buffs are minor tweaks to our filler spells, remembe rour main damage sources these days are DOTs

Hey guys, haven't touched affliction yet but wanted to test aoe today. What's the rotation look like for extended aoe? I have a sick aoe rotation with desto, cataclysm, wreak havoc, conflag, shadowburn spam. As long as there are three targets my dps is kinda insane, because immolate is tickibg on three+ mobs, with conflag = endless shards = endless shadowburn on two targets via wreak havoc.

But affliction is supposed to have best aoe, so want to test, thanks!

Are these changes live yet?

Anyone else wish that Phantom Singularity either:
A) Would persist after the target dies/be castable on an ally like mind sear
or
B) Be a ground targeted area instead?

Put Agony on targets (4 max iirc), then spam SoC. Put PS if talented and you can use UA to make seeds pop faster.

And take Sow the Seeds. Which is why you'd put Agony out to provide the shards to power it.

Yes. Seed of Corruption has a simila rissue, if your target dies before it goe soff it's wasted. It should explode if the target dies IMHO. That will become a real issue when gear levels increase and everyone else's burst AOE goes up.
