When you howl the monk images, the monk itself will do basically no damage until they get clicked off or despawn. They split their damage by 45% per image, so if two can't fight, it's a debuff.
This is amazing. Exactly the kind of video I wanted to see. Great and looking forward to learn other matchups as well. Nice content so far in this expansion
I love these kinds of tactics videos. Really shows the importance of positioning! Is there an add on for showing what CDs the enemy has used and when they've used them? I don't know much about the animations of each classes' big cool downs so I don't really know when to pop defensives or when to run and kite
Awesome guide man! Only thing I'm having a hard time understanding is who you are targeting and trying to damage. I think it's the monk first, but then after the monk burns all his cooldowns 1st time, I feel like you switch to the priest? Is this something you can clarify in other videos. Thanks again!!
thanks for very good contents. I am rdruid playing with aff lock, and if you add a little comment next time on where the healer has to position for team it would be really helpful!
near lock portal/gateway ofc. warlock in the middle doting everything and pressuring the enemy team. enemy healer should feel afraid to leave his pillar vs team as yours
I’m shocked you don’t track cooldowns on omnibar and track them mainly on the enemy buff bar. Was nice to hear a play by play on your positioning tactics and how you trade mobility to take less damage. Great video!
I try to, but new expansion and I haven't set up OmniBar to track all that kind of stuff just yet! For monks its really easy to see the visuals for their CDs though
thx learned a lot from the video. do you think destruction in its current state and the state of the meta can be played at higher mmr? or affliction just that much stronger than destro at the moment?
so what can you do as a monk to counter this kind of kiting? now locks have port, gate, soul shape, insta cc, insta damage, burst damage, spammable cc, decent survival O.o
how do you process all the information on the screen so fast? Like the door of shadow on your healer, you see stun is up etc. its my biggest problem in arena, being able to process all the information on my screen while playing the game at the same time, especially when im getting tunneled by a WW or something
Seems like as aff the burden of playing well is more on the lock than anyone else you're actually facing. L E G E N D A R Y content as always. Keep it up.
wow you amazing really, also it is amazing to see how this spec requires so much thinking and skill compared to other classes where you smash your head on your keyboard
I’m very new to wow and it seems that lock is just a very difficult class to play but my take could be horrible considering I’m new. Where would you rate afflic lock in terms of difficulty compared to other DPS classes?
There are multiple kinds of difficulty. I find an outlast playstyle easier to understand and communicate than a setup comp like RMP, but on the other hand you need to react to everything in the right way. Are you more of an aggressive or a defensive player?
i was very new to wow at bfa, and i got 2250 in 2s and 2k in 3s season 2, that was like 6 months of playing i think... It was with destro tho and we were rly strong.. i also played demon hunter and i felt like that class was so much easier... You need to decide if u want to be a control ´´mage´´ thats alot about cc and bursting during windows... or you go a melee and just smash keyboard and preassure all the time kinda... i think both are ´´difficult´´ but probally a warlock has a longer learning curve than a demon hunter for example..
When a monk uses images and you CC them, the monk himself is doing less than half the damage he would do if he didn’t pop images at all. So not only are you removing the image damage, but you are basically turning the monk himself into a hunter pet.
so if you are the windwalker monk in this case. what is stopping you from staying behind pillars and attacking in bursts while waiting for cds and letting warlock dots fall off?
Me as a WW: INTERESTING... Also Monk kyrian CD is 2min it makes us blue, gives mastery and basicly lets us go on steroids (more rsks) however Serenity also makes us light blue, so learn to distinguish to this
wws are trash they are one of the most paper-thin classes in the game tje fact that all range dps have snares, fears, roots, and.blinks means ww are a non factor
So all you need is a PhD in logistics, got ya boss
When you howl the monk images, the monk itself will do basically no damage until they get clicked off or despawn.
They split their damage by 45% per image, so if two can't fight, it's a debuff.
So it's actually 45% damage, not "no damage". U-huh! Kappa
The bit about applying sacrolash to the monk's images/tiger is soooo juicy. Thanks for the great idea!
Loving this kind of content. Positioning is one of the hardest things to decipher just by watching and nigh impossible to explain in depth on the fly.
This is amazing. Exactly the kind of video I wanted to see. Great and looking forward to learn other matchups as well.
Nice content so far in this expansion
Someone with a pvp brain that doesn’t shout at me in roid voice, I’m sold.
Bro you are my new fave streamer. You crack me up. The other day you were getting chased by a warrior with condemn and you screamed fuck I lol’d

Thank you man! Keep up this informational videos! They are really great. Thank you for it!

Great content! I hope for more vids like this!
Love the format of the video, explaining everything! Thanks

As a windwalker this video was very educational on the mind of the enemy 😈

Very insightful tips, thank you!

Great video Chief and Chan! channMies
Great content, like the play by play though process
so what can you do as a monk to counter this kind of kiting? now locks have port, gate, soul shape, insta cc, insta damage, burst damage, spammable cc, decent survival O.o
What's the best add-on to help you be aware of when the enemy is popping their cooldowns? I think my lack of awareness is killing me
omnibar
@Hate Speech 🤣 the ww monk is pretty obvious you're correct on that
I learned more about monks in this video than elsewhere haha
Very detailed video thanks ! What do u think about destro legendary Madness of the Azj'Aqir ? Keep it up
You are a literal God bro..love your content.
My favorite thing about affliction lock is the constant slow ticking dmg that gets harder and harder to ignore the longer a fight progresses
Okay so rush the lock, slow the lock, use images, save burst and sweep, wait for port from lock, ring of peace the portal = go hard?
theese videos are so good man. keep it up!
that is some amazing content! please more!
From the title, I was fully prepared for the video to be 5 seconds long n him saying "you don't"
Totaly not a ww monk here to see what i can do better ;)
Same lmao
Y'all need to leave 😂. I'm just tryna survive out here
Hey is amplify curse of weakness good to use when he pops xuen?
tnx for the info more vids like this please :)
Nice video! How do you get friendly nameplates look like that? :)
Fantastic breakdown
how do you process all the information on the screen so fast?
Like the door of shadow on your healer, you see stun is up etc.
its my biggest problem in arena, being able to process all the information on my screen while playing the game at the same time, especially when im getting tunneled by a WW or something
For me it is the other way around, I can process what is going on, but i don't know how to counter it.
Very informative, thank you!
thanks for the video. I would highlight the cursor. hard to keep track of it sometimes.
Seems like as aff the burden of playing well is more on the lock than anyone else you're actually facing. L E G E N D A R Y content as always. Keep it up.
U're making 2.3k players look like training dummies, haha. Sick game man and very nice videos lately, loving the content!
Man whats your macros to apply all dots on a target and start burst?
So....what happens when im doing 3s and im vs 2 ww and a holy paly?
Hey Chan is running drain soul in 3’a better then the drain life stack? Saw a bunch of locks running drain soul.
Nope! Check out my Shadowlands Aff Lock Guide on my channel. I explain my talent choices in that video
Hey man great video! What comp do you suggest for 3v3 for affliction?
Shadowplay or Ele lock
Legendary video!!!
@chanimal what keyboard do you use ?
This is great, thanks!
wow you amazing really, also it is amazing to see how this spec requires so much thinking and skill compared to other classes where you smash your head on your keyboard
Yeah fear spam and pet endless pet Cc

what addon are you using to track enemy cd's
so you're just able to slow the game down in real time... lol you're a god bro O_O
I love this vids keep it coming
Great video thanks!
How do you survive mage rogue? Seems super hard
i dont even play aff anymore but these kind of videos are cool with see :)
When a monk uses images and you CC them, the monk himself is doing less than half the damage he would do if he didn’t pop images at all. So not only are you removing the image damage, but you are basically turning the monk himself into a hunter pet.
Appreciate the guide good sir
Any tips for spriest?
How to show the short friendly nameplates?
Thxxx I am a WW, now I know what to do :)
nice series!
Can we get an unholy dk or frost dk next.
Really helpful!
Awesome vid
So, how can WW beat you? Like you are slowing him, rooting him whole time :D
Thank you senpai
Please do one of those for DK Unholy. I feel like I cant do anything against his adds + AMS
the difference is unholy dmg is way less than monk also if you just port behind a pillar our of LoS he can't grip you
@@joshyman221 the pets kill me kkkkk
@@kevincmnzm put corruption on pet so it's slowed as well. really unh dk is the worst melee right now so shouldn't be an issue
so if you are the windwalker monk in this case. what is stopping you from staying behind pillars and attacking in bursts while waiting for cds and letting warlock dots fall off?
Nice! Thanx
pleeeeease link your weak aura strings :)
Please do a guide on how to beat every class for us noobs thanks you gained a subscriber
Me as a WW: INTERESTING...
Also
Monk kyrian CD is 2min it makes us blue, gives mastery and basicly lets us go on steroids (more rsks)
however Serenity also makes us light blue, so learn to distinguish to this
Thx!
Gj on the vid, but 7 ads in 16mins? Thats a lot dude
as a monk i'm taking notes, mhm, yes thank you
It’s crazy how much easier it is to play and excel for the monk lol
The chanstro
THat was Cool
damn melee play so bad at this rating. i play at like 1700 and try doing this and they just reset anytime i try to kite
Big man
Thanks i hate nothing more than ww in world of Warcraft
Its even harder for destro cuz of our long ass casts at least when yall get dots up its doing passive dmg :(
It’s sad that we have to make a guide on how to live against a class that blizzard refused to fix, I would never recommend wow to any of my friends
You are a god im so bad playing affli i feel like im trash compared to melee....
How about you show us how to get away from Warlocks?
5 people who main ww monk didn't like this video.
More proof you need to have a PhD in WOW to play lock and be a shortbus student to play melee, got it
Fist comment!!! Thanks for this video too
yo
Too many ads
SHHHHHHHHHHH -monk player
You gotta take this video down... I can't have you helping people fight against my class
Double gateway lego. Yw noob
Aff locks got a %50 perma slow on there most dps ability how do people not know how to kite
wws are trash
they are one of the most paper-thin classes in the game
tje fact that all range dps have snares, fears, roots, and.blinks means ww are a non factor
found the hardstuck 1300 WW monk...but yeah sure the most mobile melee in game with good utility/CC and some of the highest damage are "trash".
disgusting screen clutter
