PvP Guide For Affliction Warlock | The Best Talent Build

If you have seen Affliction warlocks in PvP, their strategy may seem simple: just keep their distance from their opponent while bursting DoT spells, but believe me, it is a lot harder to do that than it may seems against and experienced player, so you’ll need a pvp guide for warlock that will give you the detailed info on talents to take.

Your Skills
Your main killing method is your DoT spell, so obviously you want to take talents that boost your spells damage, but there are 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; increase Drain Soul spell.

5. Soul Siphon; both of your Drain Life and Drain Soul are improved.

6. Fel Concentration; make it harder for your enemy to interrupt your channeling spell.

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 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; 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; boost your spell 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.

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 WoW warlock guide.

Your Enemy
On some occasions, you may get away with only the basic tactic: running around while casting DoT spells and Fear, but what if your enemy can 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: You can replenish your mana by using Life Tap, but you should act based on your current condition and surrounding.

2. Remove your curses; having Shadow Bolt or other direct damage skills as a reserve can help you in this situation; otherwise, you have to play strategically with strict mana management.
Solution: make it more difficult for your opponent to dispell your spells by having Contagion and Unstable Affliction.

3. Resist to Fear; I can’t give you real solution for this. 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 a review of Ultimate WoW 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.
