Playing warlock has never been so painful. Its extreamly hard to set up a kill when u have to work around 10 enemy defensive/kick options. Meanwhile meeles doing more dmg from instant skills.

[denikas]

I've been running affliction in PvP for the last 3 months or so... It's too damn painful. Legendaries are lackluster, so are conduits and covenants, they feel unimpactful. Oh and I have to mention that as an Affliction warlock you literally have to waist like 5 GCDs to start dealing ANY damage... Meanwhile the warriors (Rogues, Paladins, DKs, DHs, Monks) just press 1 button to get in your face and 1 more button to chunk you for 5-10k, LOL XD
Plus the damage from your base dots feels unimpactful. You waist 3 globals and 1.2 sec cast time to apply 3 DoTs, which can be easily healed by only 1 druid HoT.

And I'm not even mentioning the meme spells you have as Aff warlock, like the shadow bolt (which has a cast time of 1.7 sec and deals 750 dmg LMFAO - and I currently have 220 PvP gear with 23%

So if you are considering to play warlock in PvP - just go play mage/SP/Boomkin or even Ele sham :D

Finally! God I was so disappointed to see only destro lock/fire mage in your great guides, but now seeing affliction and demo (even tho they are shit in pvp) makes it so much better! Now I’m waiting for frost/arcane mage!!

[Luxeley]

For Demo: why do you recommend the talent "demonic strength" and using the pvp talent "pleasure from pain." That's a huge contradiction. Either I missed something or the pvp talent DOES NOT buff demonbolt's dmg which is shadowflame dmg, not shadow dmg. And even if I am wrong and it does buff Demonbolt, the logistics and dmg of the bilescourgue bombers is still inferior to "Demonic Strength" in most situations.

[Stizy]

people in the comments saying you have to work hard for kills clearly don't understand how demo works. its pretty easy to 1 shot people in a few globals with minimal effort. plus only a 45 sec cooldown on massive burst. it also its a insanely tanky spec and has some of the most cc in the game on 3 separate drs. but im not complaining, the fact most people don't understand what the spec is capable of just makes it that much better 😉

[ediimendez]

great guide! but i have one more question, ¿what legendary is the best for affliction?

[savsaga]

Every Class done...when r we watching Fury Warriors and Outlaw Rogues?

[Bettejes]

Would the soulbind choice change for 2v2 for Affliction, or Korayn always?

[dustm]

I truly believe lock is the worst class in the game (I think most lock will agree with me). You have to work so much harder than melees and you still probably lose, they need to be changed.

[KibaWolf]

A little confused on your Corrupting Leer conduit pick. Games don't really last long enough to get a second Darkglare out even with that conduit. The Malefic Rupture one will at least get some use

[Percadu]

Bit of a shame that NF Demo was completely left out despite about half of the top Demos playing it.

[gilm.]

Do you think affliction is better than destro in 3v3 and rbg? I play aff but i see only destro locks around..

[drift]

Why would anyone pvp with lock when we have hunter?

[selimb]

Not convinced about Condensed anima sphere tho, i played it quit a bit and looked at the number threw details, nothing really impressive to be honest

[macp]

warlock class has the worst pvp mechanics and annoying gameplay possible... saying this as a lock main for 10 + years

[tomsetberg]

Those awkward moments when you say unhealable damage after watching an out of mana healer out heal affliction damage for over 3 minutes at 0% mana.

[noel]

Do you want to get globaled and have zero chance against melee unless you have farmed months for gear in a dead game? NP play Warlock xD

[Derek-gcrb]

Imagine playing Warlock in Shadowlands *facepalm*

[jthiel]

Why rot targets when you can just 1 shot them pepelaugh

[MaadenYO]

I think its weird how you don't mention playing night fae as Demo. You don't have to go necro to play demo. Night fae is arguable better in both 2s and 3s.
