Detailed Affliction Warlock BuildsRaidingGeneral Questing Mythic +Affliction Warlock Talent OverviewTier 1 (Level 15) Talents for Aff Lock

夜幕: Chance on 腐蚀术 damage to make your next 暗影箭 cast instant and do 25% more damage. Even after the 33% proc chance buff in 8.3, Generally not a good gtalent choice, since 死亡之箭 will still do more damage over any encounter and fills less GCDs.

吸取灵魂: Your favorite filler of the past expansions returns. Replaces 暗影箭, and applies any on-hit effects that 暗影箭 would otherwise apply, including 暗影之拥. Does double damage on targets below 20% health, and refunds a Soul Shard if you're draining a dying target. After the 50% damage buff for 8.3 This is our new best single target talent, and returns affliction to being a strong execute class.

死亡之箭: Single target nuke that does 20% (was 30%) of your DoTs' remaining damage on the current target. Does quite good damage on single target, especially when used right after 召唤黑眼.

死亡之箭吸取灵魂Tier 2 (Level 30) Talents for Aff Lock

翻腾痛楚: Just like Legion, increases your 痛楚's max stacks to 15, from 10. Currently a dead talent.

绝对腐蚀: Also just like in Legion - Makes 腐蚀术 permanent. In the current state of the game, this talent is completely unbalanced. You'll be taking this talent in almost every situation, except for pure single target.

生命虹吸: An extra DoT that heals you for 30% of the damage it deals. Best for single target outright.

Tier 3 (Level 45) Talents for Aff Lock

恶魔皮肤: 恶魔皮肤 recharges your 灵魂榨取 shield by 1% every second.

爆燃冲刺: 爆燃冲刺 sacrifices 4% of your health every second and in exchange you gain 50% movement speed. While 爆燃冲刺 is active you can't be slower than 100% of your normal movement speed.

黑暗契约: 黑暗契约 sacrifices 20% of your demons or your health if you have no demon and grants you a 400% shield of the sacrificed health for 20 seconds. Its cooldown is 1 minute.

爆燃冲刺黑暗契约黑暗契约Tier 4 (Level 60) Talents for Aff Lock

腐蚀播种: Your 腐蚀之种 uses it to embed 1 additional seeds to nearby enemies, 2 total, making Seed of Corruption decent for AOE. This is slightly nerfed from Legion.

诡异魅影: Excellent for adds that come in waves every 40-60 seconds to add damage to burst them down. Great for situations like during Guldan to help with his eyes.

邪恶污染: A new talent and ability for Legion, 邪恶污染 is a ground targeted AoE DoT that costs a soul shard and has a 20-second cooldown. It does on average more damage than one 痛苦无常 cast on single target, making it an incredibly useful skill for single target, and especially AoE.

邪恶污染诡异魅影腐蚀播种死亡之花Tier 5 (Level 75) Talents for Aff Lock

黑暗之怒: Reduces 暗影之怒 cooldown by 15 seconds.

死亡缠绕: Horrifies the enemy and heals you for 20% of your maximum health.

恶魔法阵: 恶魔法阵 lets you place a circle that allows you to teleport to the same location again. NOTE: In Battle for Azeroth, this has been split back into two spells again. NO MORE CANCELAURA MACROS! Thank you Mr. Blizzard.

恶魔法阵黑暗之怒Tier 6 (Level 90) Talents for Aff Lock

暗影之拥: A classic old spell effect with 暗影箭, this is a debuff that stacks on your target when you cast 暗影箭 (or 吸取灵魂, if talented) on it. Target takes 3% increased damage from your spells, stacking 3 times. Not really possible to keep stacked on multiple targets.

鬼影缠身: Moved down from the level 30 talent row, 鬼影缠身 is largely unchanged from Legion. Single target nuke that also increases damage the target takes from your abilities by 10%. What has changed from Legion is that both the cooldown and duration are both 15 seconds, so it's possible to keep 100% uptime on the debuff with good GCD management.

牺牲魔典: Sacrifices your demons and in exchange, it sometimes deal a small amount of shadow damage single target. Also, give you the main ability of the sacrificed pet.

鬼影缠身牺牲魔典鬼影缠身暗影之拥召唤地狱猎犬Tier 7 (Level 100) Talents for Aff Lock

灵魂导管: Every 灵魂碎片 you spend has a 15% chance to be refunded.

死亡蔓延: A small holdover from Legion, creeping death is essentially 永恒蔑视兜帽's effect, put on all of your DoTs. So - Your 痛楚, 腐蚀术, 生命虹吸, and 痛苦无常 all deal their entire damage 15% faster.

黑暗灵魂：哀难: Increases your haste by 30% for 20 seconds, 2 minute cooldown.

I strongly disagree with cataclysm for affliction it is a meh AoE ability; sure it applies Agony and UA. but Agony will not have enough time to ramp up and this is one of the reasons that makes it meh. Catch 22 is if you're affliction and you're trying to AoE your not only wasting your time; because destruction and demo will easily out perform affliction in AoE. Soulburn: Haunt (SB: H ); will beat not only a Demonic Servitude demon, but also cataclysm hands down (i.e., doesn't matter if it's 3 targets, or 100, SB: H will always win out ).

Sorry but I don't agree with the "basic Talent Build" it's disorientating at best for any new player to the class.
Why take 鬼影缠身 at *T1* when 翻腾痛楚 is better
and since 鬼影缠身 no longer gives you a DoT Dmg Bonus it's not that useful anymore.
Also at*T2* 传染 or 绝对腐蚀 are way better DPS boosts then as they both use spells you would already use, that don't cost you an arm and a leg to boost your dmg.
For *T3* it's entirely situational so no complains
*T4* 灵魂收割 might overtake 腐蚀播种 depending on how they will tweek the numbers.
*T5* Again situational
*T6* I see 统御魔典 for world stuff and 牺牲魔典 for dungeons/raids, tho 统御魔典 might be better at the start of the expansion Mid to late expansion 牺牲魔典 will surely win out
*T7* at te start the best choice will be for sure 灵魂导管 it might be a good choice late expansion as well, 灵魂雕像 might work well in the mid-late expansion but at the start highly doubt it, and 诡异魅影 is more of a survival tool which one would pick if he planned on "Eating" a lot o Dmg from large packs of mobs.

So I have a question about how 2 of these talents/mechanics interact. I might be misunderstanding how these talents actually work so if that's the case please be gentle. With 死亡蔓延 and 绝对腐蚀, If Absolute makes it permanent (meaning its time is infinite{or indefinite}), what time does Creeping use to calculate Corruption's new/faster speed, or does it even work together since it no longer has a full/set time like Creeping states?

why 无尽痛苦 is useful for damage?

First, hat's off to you for writing such a fantastic guide. Thank you!

My question refers to your explanation of the tier 15 talents. I may just be confused, but this is what I understand you are saying in regard to this tier. First, you state that drain soul is now our go to filler instead of shadow bolt and has become our best overall single target spell. This may be true when comparing it solely with shadow bolt dmg, however we cant think of it like that when Deathbolt is still the best choice for the tier. When we choose Deathbolt we do not have the Drain Soul option, and must stay with Shadowbolt. Since these talents are not mutually exclusive we need to compare the difference in damage increase with Drain Soul over Shadow bolt in a realistic raid scenario and compare that difference to the Deathbolt damage. Whichever is higher is the best choice. Moreover, if blizzard continues with high movement encounters, then Deathbolt will always trump Drain Soul because most of the time given the short duration of our dots we will not be able to finish Drain Soul's cast. This doesnt even count the on use essence and trinkets that must be included into the rotations further shortening the time we will have for a filler. During the last raid tier I didnt have time to cast many shadow bolts (except during bloodlust) even with its short cast time due to my high amount of haste. There were many times that I had to renew dots before casting my first shadowbolt.

Although we all know this, I just want to give a clear picture. We have 1. Haunt (cast time w/15 sec cd) 2. agony (18 sec) 3. corruption (14 sec) 4. siphon life (15 sec) 5. Unstable affliction (cast time w/8 sec cd) Additionally, cd's become even shorter if we want to renew the dots at their current power. 6. Phantom Singularity 7. Dark soul misery 8. Darkglare 9. Deathbolt 10. major essence 11. trinket (instant or cast time) 12. trinket (instant or cast time) and GCD between each spell.
I understand where the devs are coming from by making the tier 15 changes, but they have, yet again, been shortsighted and not thought of the entire picture.
