doing dailys as affliction with multiple mobs whats my best strategy?

[dreaderus]

do i bite the bullet and pull out the blue pet?

I tend to enjoy the solo sacraficed affliction work and the stuff does die but multiple mobs may become an issue.

any comments?

Use Glyph of Soul Consumption. Dot everything up (SB-SS), focus one target, Haunt+MG -> DS. Rinse, repeat. As long as you can keep dots rolling and keep souldraining targets 1 by 1, you'll overheal most damage, even from 5+ mobs at once. If you bite more than you can chew remember you have healthstone, Unending Resolve, Deathcoil...

should i give up shadow fury for it?

Multi-dot, SS: health funnel. At least thats what I do, generally dont need to combat more than 3-4 mobs anyway.
Shadowfury thrown in and haunt burst. Key is really to always replenish shards with DS. 3 dots +3 haunts on any target is a really quick way to kill any target.

Im cheap, dont like stuff hitting on me so when doing daily quests i use the void if its daily quests with that got alot of multi pulls.
Plus im playing WoT and drinking beer so I'm blind and missed "sacraficed"

If multi pop a SB-Seed, UA on each mob then haunt finish them.
Use crappy harvets if you got it.

4xSB:SS, MG, DS, soul harvests.
thats good for 4x90pulls without stuns/silnces, or for 2x90elite.
voidwalker for rares.

only works with the glyph, cant do without

The goat steaks are the worst to mass tag Afflocks really could have fun with a version of Hunters misdirection rather than the fears

i usedto use void when i did dailies as aff. but i then decided to try out dark apotheoisis and oh my god i cant beleive i quested without it. i really recommend you try it out!

DA is OP as fuck, dot everything, immolation aura and harvest life gg

i second that. with dark apothesis you can seamlessly pull entire rooms or large-scale areas and almost never have to worry about health. 12,15,20 mobs is nothing at all. throw in a few elites in that as well, hell if those wings give a damn.

[purefury]

there are not many places where you can pull 12mobs at once. not faster than 4 at a time with affliction,

yes it is. DA single target dps is lacking, but if your gonna be hitting one target, just go normal caster form!

DA is incredible in aoe pulls. shadowflame/corr on all targets generates enough fury to keep immo aura up. harvest life generates fury while immo aura spends it - they work great together! it really is awsome. and you can use your wrathguard instead of your voidwalker since you will have the aggro! and if your health does start dropping.... thats cool, 200 fury for a ~75k absorb shield on a very short cooldown. carrion swarm foa bit of breathing space... harvest life heals for loads. its just amazing for questing

What? Just move when they're about to ram and you don't get hit.

Absolutely trivial with KJC.

SB:SS as much as your shards allow, haunt if you get a nightfall proc, otherwise MG then DS. Use Cooldowns liberally.

Shadow Fury is pretty neat for when you happen to pull too much. Brilliant when leveling/questing/grinding.

The glyph to regain health when a target you're draining dies is also useful. If you pulled four mobs and drain each one for a second just as it dies, that's 80% of your health restored.

I would go demo as others have said but if your dead set on Aff then yeah get those glyphs that were mentioned, quite mandatory.

shrug I want to get razor razor sharp at the game, as an aff lock. they play so differently and I am really not very good at anything currently.

Also i use aff dots, and i use the class timers when doing multidoting i STILL find myself losing dots on the mobs and then I start down the "soul swap in error" and Redot the guys with dots, missing guys that don't and the spam tab to cycle the targets again syndrome. I need to get much better at that.

Using soul consumption, soul shard, siphon life currently.

[Viggers]

do you use tidyplates? it helps with multi dotting loads

Personally I found DA to be pretty crappy as a fresh 90, seemed like you couldn't put out enough damage to get everything down in a fast enough time to make it worth it. Sure I could usually survive larger pulls, but until you get a bit of gear you'll go faster killing stuff as Aff with the tanking pet out. Once you get the hang of it you can chain pull much easier with Aff and the tanking pet then with DA, as you pull another mob every 6-7 seconds as the taunt comes off CD and have a boat load of monsters attacking your pet as you focus them down. Seemed much faster to me and safer.
