One thing you seems to forgot about legendaries is the Sacrolash ring. The 60% slow combine with absolute corruption can be really strong for mob kiting and really helps tanks.
subbed! you're are the only really informative affliction warlock youtuber that makes sense to me:P Thanks for these vids,i love this spec since vanilla,but i never really played it at end game untill legion,where i sort of decided to get out of my comfort zone and learn something new. Hope to see some mythic dungeons footage with maybe commentary or something,you have a knack for explaning things effectively,atleast for me. Thanks!:)
I subbed also. I've always liked playing Afflic the most out of the specs. Yours is the first video (or really anything) i've been able to find that actually explains a couple of good ways to do things. Please keep it up
Not sure if you have Sacrolash legendary ring, but that + perma corruption = hilarious. Have the tank pull massive mobs back, I seed to spread corruption, then we all run away on to the next mob and do the same. All the mobs are so slow behind that they barely arrive before boss is down. That and the corruption ticking kills them all eventually and I have a constant 10% 2xstat reaped souls buff from my artifact. DPS = million+ Thanks for the great vids by the way. Subbed.
Very interesting. Keep up the good work. I'll be following this topic from now on . I had an issue with soul effigy and phantom singularity. The effigy just sucks and phantom is nice but most of the time I end up aggroing too many mobs.
great videos,thanks for all the info only thing is im curious as to how we can deal with lower ilvls some of us are not 885 with a lvl 35 weapon and damage seems very low at lower gear lvls .thanks again great guides
Awesome job, currently using these builds in Mythics+ and doing great. I had a question tho for the ST fights, I'm having a hard time knowing when to keep 100% up-time on UA or dumping them all into a boss, because it seems that dumping them all into the boss does a lot more dmg in that short window. What do you recommend? Thanks
is there something to increase the chance of Agony proc'ing a shard? my shard generation feels really low even thou im maintaining it on 3~4 targets. do any stats influence the proc rate?
Agony proc rate is static, it's not based on rng... haste can increase shard gen as it makes agony tick faster but you also spend the shards more quickly
ok just starting as an aff warlock i was demo but have 35 in my arty want to try aff now. what spec do i run for 5 mans? say for pugs so almost never more than 3 mobs at a time in front of us? like regular heroics and mythic 0's?
Alright thanks for the reply! Just started playing afl so these videos have helped a ton. Still differentiating between raiding and m+ talents. What about drain soul?
do you tab target? I find it hard to click target with lots of adds up and I suffer because of it. I'm a healer main and always have been but am gearing a lock ATM. also can't decide between demo and aff, we mainly focus on m+. what do you suggest?
Been playing around with my Affliction talents a lot. Finally you made me realize how horrible Absolute Corruption is. I have always been in a dilema between running siphon life and sow the seeds. Whats your thoughts for Mythic Raiding and Affliction (I main demo so i dont know much about affliction yet)? and what do you think about the buffs on PTR? New video thanks. My Character: eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/auchindoun/T%C3%AEchondrius/simple
My dps in m+ as affli is fine but on bosses truly remove all my dps :(, how do you deal with this? Does your group just kill bosses super fast so it doesnt matter?
Ruinous make sure you're saving reap stacks and wrath of consumption for boss so you can maximize your dmg :3 my dmg ends up being really good but my gear is also amazing
you should add, this build is not very good on m+ above 9 more specific tyrannical will rek you, also on single target contagion is not that huge of an dps gain so i would run absolute corruption in almost all mythic+ scenarios

ah you made one already! nice:D
Agreed! There's a huge lack of affliction guides.
I subbed also. I've always liked playing Afflic the most out of the specs. Yours is the first video (or really anything) i've been able to find that actually explains a couple of good ways to do things. Please keep it up
Love your channel man, keep up the good work! There is hope for affliction yet.

only informative video i found, finally!! Keep up and thx
Very interesting. Keep up the good work. I'll be following this topic from now on .
I had an issue with soul effigy and phantom singularity. The effigy just sucks and phantom is nice but most of the time I end up aggroing too many mobs.
Like you suggested, having you commentate over some gameplay would really help us noob warlocks better replicate this performance. :P
Sure Ill make one this weekend keep a lookout!
great videos,thanks for all the info only thing is im curious as to how we can deal with lower ilvls some of us are not 885 with a lvl 35 weapon and damage seems very low at lower gear lvls .thanks again great guides
Thanks its just what I was looking for! :D
You don't have any issues with mobs running off and pulling extra with howl?
thanks allot for making this video. great work
I would love if you would add timestamps of the video in the description depending on the situation, e.g. small mobgrps, big mobgrps
perfect guide.mate, 10/10
can you update this guide for 7.1.5. It would be very helpful for us ;)
i have haste gear for demo and i have mastery gear for affli so which is better to use?
Awesome job, currently using these builds in Mythics+ and doing great. I had a question tho for the ST fights, I'm having a hard time knowing when to keep 100% up-time on UA or dumping them all into a boss, because it seems that dumping them all into the boss does a lot more dmg in that short window. What do you recommend? Thanks
what specc do you recommend to follow for the scales since they change upon talentswaps?
Would you run these in m+15 and higher? Doesn't Soul Effigy start to outperform in certain dungeons at 15 and beyond?
Great video!
if you have sindorei spite bracers should you pick another t6 talent?
which trinkets you use for m+?
very quick question....why burning rush over dark pact? i'm obviously missing something
All depends on boss fight, sometimes movement is important
I've never taken dp. Almost always running br. But I could be wrong.
Hey! For the 90 tier, given that you have Sin'dorei Spite what would you take otherwise in place of Supermacy
you can take service if you want with sin'dorei
is there something to increase the chance of Agony proc'ing a shard? my shard generation feels really low even thou im maintaining it on 3~4 targets.
do any stats influence the proc rate?
Agony proc rate is static, it's not based on rng... haste can increase shard gen as it makes agony tick faster but you also spend the shards more quickly
Is there any situation where you would use talents like AC or Effigy in M+?
Never Effigy, but sometimes AC if Im running SL build!
Which spec would you run for the higher level M+? Or does it still depend entirely on the modifiers for the week?
cybermancy for tyran I run siphon SC for fortified I run sow/SC mostly :3
ok just starting as an aff warlock i was demo but have 35 in my arty want to try aff now. what spec do i run for 5 mans? say for pugs so almost never more than 3 mobs at a time in front of us? like regular heroics and mythic 0's?
Fred Myers Thats a dumb question, obviously use the spec that has the most traits.
Not sure if you said but do you ever run Soul Effigy in m+? Great guide!
nope never, worthless on trashD:

Naw I dont tab target D: I click.. something to get used to.. for mythic+ aff is miles ahead if you play it right!
Yipzarena thanks man. I really love the videos and watch them over and over. hopefully I will improve. I'll go back to aff from demo then.
headset plz

Can you do some mythic + POV's please
I can do more in the future, sure
When you spam Seed, are you spamming it on the same mob or different mobs?
Usually same
My Pawn give priority on haste, why your priority stat is mastery?
Different gear.. alot of gear and different values gives different results the stats arent linear
My dps in m+ as affli is fine but on bosses truly remove all my dps :(, how do you deal with this? Does your group just kill bosses super fast so it doesnt matter?
Ruinous make sure you're saving reap stacks and wrath of consumption for boss so you can maximize your dmg :3 my dmg ends up being really good but my gear is also amazing
says you have like 9600 mastery, i have 10600 and i have only 108% why??
my armory may be incorrect
just make sure to "get out your UA alot more quickerly" and you're gtg
you should add, this build is not very good on m+ above 9 more specific tyrannical will rek you, also on single target contagion is not that huge of an dps gain so i would run absolute corruption in almost all mythic+ scenarios
lol, im not wasting gems/chants on crit for affl
dude, great vids, but omg, get the mic sorted!
Great video! Check out Trufigcd so that people can see what you cast in your videos. That helps a ton :) Thanks!
