Affliction Meta Lock PvP Guide - WoW SoD Phase 4

[@fredrikkarlsson7175]

I am gonna try this

[@Mastuh1994]

@fredrikkarlsson7175 You should! I'll add that if you use the BWL tank tier instead, you'd have additional heals woth Shadowburn (but no Soul Fire proc)

Amazing guide man. I watched the whole thing. It might just have inspired me to make one for Warrior.

[@Mastuh1994]

@keftapvp You should do it, but now we'll know all of each other's tricks! Lol

[@keftapvp]

@@Mastuh1994 haha i know! I just finished recording it so I'll get it up soon. Its rough but whatever. Your video did have me thinking about how to beat you 🤔.... Have any warriors beat you yet? If yes, what do they do? I won't be surprised if you tell me you've never lost to a warrior though lol.

[@Mastuh1994]

@@keftapvp There is ONE trick that I'm not gonna tell you 😆 My only clue is that it's not Warrior specific, but it would maybe give you the edge. Otherwise, most of what you did made sense, cleaving my pet, keeping MS on me, and trying to burst me.

Do you know a place i can find macros, your guide was helpful! thank you

[@Mastuh1994]

@plasticbudgie Thank you very much! I'm at a rock/metal music festival the next few days and won't be available to do the appropriate research, so I don't know the best resource, but some off the top of my head beneficial macros would be: /cancelform Metamorphosis /cast Fear /cancelform Metamorphosis /cast *Mount Name* You also benefit from having pet abilities macroed to your bars, such as Succ seduce or Felguard stun. If you run Felhunter, I would use something like /cast [@player] Devour Magic to have a self dispel readily available. If you play Meta, you would benefit from having /startattack macroed into most of your instant cast abilities. If you have the Self Banish tier set, you can use /cast [@player] Banish and /cancelaura Banish to Self Banish and to remove Self Banish early, respectively. Just some off the top of my head macros while I'm scrambling to getting this festival! Hopefully something here is beneficial.

Hey dude I’m New lock, what is the rotation? Thanks :)

[@Mastuh1994]

@andresfelipepalacioali1726 For this build specifically, I use Demonic Grace if I have it (for the extra crit on my DoTs) and use Unstable Affliction, Curse of Agony, Corruption, Drain Life, then you can spam Shadow Cleaves, Soul Fires if you get a proc, Shadowburn, Searing Pain. If you cam get a Shadowcleave off before you DoT, you can do that for extra + Spell Damage. This is a PvP rotation and Metamorph wouldn't be used as DPS in PvE. Unstable Affliction is a higher priority DoT because we want to get it up as soon as possible for the dispel protection. Curse of Agony is a higher priority DoT because it gives us Mark of Chaos. If the target is seduced, UA is first (this will allow us to fully DoT before they take any damage, which will break the CC). If the target is not seduced (and is not affected by another breakable CC), you can Curse of Agony first.

[@scottstone7496]

got an updated guide for p5?

[@Mastuh1994]

@scottstone7496 I've been thinking about it, yes. My current build is very different, and I have near BiS already, so maybe I can aim for something this weekend!

[@scottstone7496]
