5 Minute Affliction Guide | WotLK Classic

hey guys Happy New Year I want to start the new year off strong with the return of joyous Journeys there has been a lot of people leveling warlocks because they are so strong and old or I want to make this quick video to teach you all the basics of Affliction and if you have more questions please reach out to me on Discord jumping straight into it these are the talents I like to run but right now I need three out of three suppression because I need the hit if I didn't need suppression I would take something like improved lifetime I would consider Grim reach I would consider improved drain Soul you don't necessarily need intensity but it's pretty helpful and these are the glyphs that we're running running haunt quick Decay and lifetop and the only mandatory Miner left would be drain soul but your flexion so it doesn't really matter that consumes you want is an inflation warlock you want spiced Mana treats for extra damage on your pet you want a wild magic to pre-pot you want a haste pot for execute you always want your spell sewn spell power flask and food and then in you also have your soul Stone and your health stone to think about getting to the opener I like to pre-pot live top Precast shot a bolt set my pet in Pont UA Agony corruption and now everything's on the boss and we're getting into maintenance mode then if I know I have extra time I like to pop my gloves I don't like to include my gloves in the opening automatically because some fights are shorter than a minute right now and you don't want to waste your glove cooldown for the maintenance on the rotation the number one priority is keeping your haunt debuff up so it's nice to have a tracker for the mobs uh haunt duration I like to have a cooldown for the hot cooldown itself and once you know how it's comfortably on the target you want to make sure you have your corruption maintained because it does a lot of damage and usually it's snapshot it off the rip and then you want UA and then Agony and then maintaining shot of world in between and this will be comfortable rotation until 35 you have a big DPS cooldown called Inferno Inferno does benefit from loss and it is a long cooldown but when you use it your fell Hunter goes away so you want to drop the Inferno during the last minute of the flight and you can call for a second lost and cons it also snapshots from flame caps let's talk about corruption real quickly uh I have this week over from murphin I would highly recommend you get it it tells you when your corruption gets a modifier on a Target that would increase its crit or damage like watch I put Shadow bolt on the Target now we have the five percent crit and it refresh so I could read corruption now it gets five percent crit over its duration corruption imprints spell power so it does take the spell power say I have a trinket proc like my illustration and my Corruptions on the target then it'll have the spell power I have at the moment but when your corruption refreshes from Everlasting Affliction it changes to whatever your current spell power is so what does that mean it means your spell power when you put up corruption doesn't matter it'll change regardless corruption snapshots only with damage percent abilities like tricks of the trade and then crit like ISB from your Shadow bolt so fights like Thaddeus and lothab keep an eye when you get your Spore or your charge and reapply your corruption accordingly using the weak Aura the weak Aura makes it very easy to tell when the enemy reaches 35 Health you act a deaths Embrace which increases all your Shadow Damage Done by 12 this is a percent damage spell so it'll show on the weak aura that you have 12 damage available so you want ideally to get another tricks at 35 to increase your Corruptions damage by that 12 plus the tricks if you are unable to get the tricks leaving a 100 tricks corruption is more damage than your deaths Embrace but it won't count as logs I will leave it up to you to decide which one if you want to override it or not drain soul is where you'll jump from fifth or sixth in damage to number one that took that lasts 25 you need to make sure that you have life tap up and ideally you have a hey spot your gloves in a macro sort of like this I will leave this in the description where it's using both your train explosion speed Etc if you're a you'll put in your racials as well and the most important thing is that you keep an eye on your procs because drain soul will snapshot your spell power and your haste so if you have Pi running and your haste plot there's one stuck in the haste plot MPI left and you do a drain soul that entire duration drain soul will benefit from those haste Buffs so you need to make sure that you're taking advantage of spell power procs uh haste procs while not letting your haunt fall or your life tap because of your hunt Falls Your Shadow Embrace will fall off your corruption will probably fall off and you'll lose a large chunk of damage hey guys thanks for making to the end of the video this took a little bit of time to put together so I would immensely appreciate if you liked And subscribe I hope you learned a thing or two about Warlock and I hope to catch you next one peace
