[@seanynee]

This was such a bad change. Flame caps have been used in every expansion since tbc, they are even used in retail dragonflight 15 years later. 17? If they wanted to control the crazy pricing, they could have just increased the drop rate/decreased the rarity. not change something that's had one of the longest running histories of use in the game.

[@MissPuppyfluff]

I returned to WoW two weeks ago after a long break, and had absolutely no idea about how the class and spec had changed. This half an hour video explained everything very well, bring on the pink parses!

[@KrugerFS]

Excellent guide. Happy to see they didn't change anything with affliction, it's fun to play, keeps you engaged with what's happening in the fight and always top 5 on DPS meter. I do recall, it was better to play Destro when you started raiding through T7 and T8 sets and changed to Affliction when you got T8.5 gear set. Destro had higher DPS at the lower Tier sets, but at the higher Tier sets Destro could just not reach the same numbers Affliction did in Boss fights.

[@loganmaginnis6008]

So much to learn, which is awesome. I'm having a TON on trouble with this class, probably due to playing warrior since classic vanilla and switching to this class (for guild reasons) 3 or 4 months ago. I know P3 is out but i'm barely getting green parses in TGoC and Uld with pretty dang good gear. thank you for this guide any an all tips help.

[@TomAndrews91]

I've been enjoying affliction so far, but having been destruction since mid-BWL to the whole of TBC, it's taking some getting used to. I can't wait for Ulduar. Great guide. Thanks!

[@CrixGuides]

Thank you! Good Luck in Ulduar

[@Nyquist_TX]

Bro switching to Aff was weird. Especially after the very end of TBC where firelock became viable.

[@TomAndrews91]

​@@Nyquist_TX Yeah, true. It's a lot more fun to play though. I mean, all I was doing was spamming shadow bolt and dooming/using infernal/using agony if I couldn't get a doom off in time in TBC. I was shadow the whole expansion. It led to easy high parses, but you definitely have to work for them more as affliction and there's more to think about. I enjoyed demo as well in P1 in Wrath, but I've been affliction for a while now and I'm becoming more comfortable with it.

[@alexyalishanda86]

Thank you Crix! I like your guides, they are always informative and well-organized. A quick question regarding this one, at around 3:40, does corruption snapshot CoE/E&M/EP? As per Zephan's guide on Wowhead, they are supposed to have dynamic effect on corruption, correct me if I'm wrong.

[@CrixGuides]

Yep! If Zeph's guides say it, then it is correct! Thank you!

[@abduljabars]

Perfect timing. I just main swapped from feral since we had two of us in our raids....and they just don't pump enough. Was gonna be the token demo cause none of the other 3 locks wanted the spot. But one of them has since changed their mind and gonna stay demo. Now I get to go Aff and parsing is back on the table boys..... just teach me what to do :P

[@Kennypowers51]

So many subtlr things but i recently swapped to affli from demo and here are some of my mistakes u can look out for. Clipping UA, not having haunt on (its ok to clip haunt, must be up), refreshing dots during execute phase when they wont get full duration, causing me to miss drain ticks. Also reapply corruption less than 35% hp on target.

[@TomAndrews91]

@@Kennypowers51 I'm making these same mistakes, but will hopefully improve in Ulduar.

[@TomAndrews91]

​@@Kennypowers51 Also, don't clip Curse of Agony and snapshot Corruption when there's a + damage modifier. Can drop an infernal when the boss is about to die when there's a minute to go in the fight. I don't always use it for all bosses, however, and there's a ten minute cooldown anyway, so sometimes it's not up.

[@CrixGuides]

NICE! Welcome to the Purp gang. This video will help out alot and then tbh everything else you need is in the descriptions Links to the wowhead/Icy Veins guides that Zephan and I did. Him and I are the two admins in the Warlock Discord as well, so feel free to stop by and ask anything, or better yet use the search feature as it is amazing, and ofc the pins! Check out TakeNote/Ahlaundoh as well! They stream everyday all day with their Aff Locks. And ofc, the most important of them all, dont hesitate to ask me anything. I have my own Discord full of thousands of Warlocks just all learning from each other.

[@vladdracul2379]

I've been messing around with a bit of a meme warlock build. I get both corruption glyphs and I also get nightfall. Then I spec into destro to get 100% crit damage. Then I basically can spam corruption and SB on targets constantly. It's kinda fun not being forced to cast that much.

[@iAnubisGod]

Thank you. Coming back to wow after 10 years. Haven't played since Pandaria / SOO . What addons do you recommend for affliction lock? is bartender and omni cc still viable or is there better ones now?

[@adam41j]

Very good

[@rainsounds112]

I dont know if you went over this, i was trying to listen for it. May be a dumb question.. i forget how wow works with the debuffs but does haunt only increase damage if it is up before you curse or if u have current dots up and then use haunt will it then increase the future damage? Or is all the dots snapchotted on the current debuffs applied?

[@marcschoolcraft6708]

Corruption doesn't snapshot external dmg % modifiers such as Haunt and Ebon Plaguebringer/E&M/CoE (debuffs on the target). Corruption will snap internal dmg % modifiers or buffs affecting you (deaths embrace, iron council rune, etc. ) Also, in drain phase you should really emphasize the importance of never letting Haunt completely fall off since Haunt is primarily the only thing keeping your Shadow Embrace at 3 stacks unless you had an opportunity to use Nightfall. Double also, when to clip drain is really important when refreshing dots or recasting drain to snapshot a procs.

[@kiirbstomp]

Thx king

[@Jenartik]

when is the best time to use trinkets/engi gloves? right after you cast the pre-pull shadowbolt, or after you set up all dots and start bolt spamming?

[@zachvonhirschsprung8038]

[@danielalejandro2835]

Thanks for the guide! Would you consider making a similar guide for sPriest?

[@CrixGuides]

I actually am working on it now. It will be up this weekend.

[@jimme1982]

Very nice guide. I can't get the snapshot WA to load though.

[@Stompy1984]

Is weapon swapping still a thing? Where you use a weapon/Wand with higher Crit rating just to cast your initial Corruption and then swap back to your 'normal' weapon that probably has more Haste instead of Crit. Got my Fury Warrior pretty much BiS-geared and am thinking about either leveling a SPriest or a Warlock as my alt (bit late to level one though...).

[@narimyeong8182]

i have a question concerning the execute fase: If I understood correctly, at 35% reapply corruption and at 25% start spaming drain soul but what is the right time to use potion of speed? at 35% before corruption or at 25% before drain soul?

[@Yiidz]

Right before drainsoul.

[@blummel97]

If there's like 2 Seconds on the UA dot left, but my UA only takes 1 sec to cast. Do I cast a complete shadowbolt and let UA drop off or what can I do to ensure 100% uptime on UA without wasting any time tho?

[@Piromysl359]

Does Shadow Embrace counts towards Corruption snapshoting? Do I have to stack it to 3 before casting Corruption for max DPS?

[@GerLpTogether]

21:37 on ptr looks like they are changing flame cap to share cooldown with pots so they are going to be irrelevant I think. Price has crashed hard.

[@mkwLuke]

curse of elements is a debuff on the boss, not a buff on the player. So it doesn't matter for snapshotting corruption. You could apply CoE after you apply corruption and you'll still get the % dmg increase

[@Funkefetti]

isnt it just the same as ISB? And you have to put that on the boss before corruption

[@sobo5476]

With the Snapshot, the game will snapshot your corruption, but due to Everlasting Affliction the Spell boost is lost as soon as it resets the corruption back to the basic corruption with the spell boost not applied. So for example if you have 2 Trinkets giving a spell power boost such as Sundial of the Exiled with 590 spell power proc for 10 seconds, and Dying Curse with 765 spell power proc for 10 seconds, lets say Sundial procs and gives a 590 spell power boost and 5 seconds later Dying procs that gives 756 spell power boost, you will get a spell power boost of 590 + 765 giving 1355 spell power, 5 seconds later Sundial proc falls off, when your next Shadowbolt hits you will lose the Sundial 590 spell power boost as a new Corruption has been applied, but this Corruption only has the 765 Spell Power boost from Dying Curse, when the proc from Dying Curse falls off, the next Shadowbolt you cast will apply a new corruption but this 1 will have no benefits as you have no current procs running, if you were just to leave the Corruption proc it would keep rolling for the rest of it's duration with the extra spell power so long as you never casted Corruption. So the addon you have tells you if you will lose Spell Power on the Corruption if you refresh it, and it still says it after you cast a Shadowbolt - then it's broken and not working as the Shadowbolt would have refreshed the Corruption with the spell power loss. It also works the other way where if you have a trinket proc a spell power boost, the next Shadowbolt will apply a fresh Corruption with the extra Spell Power.

No, spell power modifiers are not snap shotted - corruption will always scale with the current amount of spell power you have. As stated in the video.

Should Affi lock use Curse of Doom or only Agony?

[@CrixGuides]

Always Agony.

[@Falcrist]

@@CrixGuides There are a few niche situations where you might want to doom. Like you have 3 sparks and Malygos is about to fly away for the add phase. You can do like 60k damage with that one GCD. Beginning of 4H, I have sometimes doomed one of the back horsemen at the start. Stuff like that.

Why not use Curse of Elements?

[@Fepers24]

DUI Crix... what happened to your shilled Flamecap?

[@CrixGuides]

Flame caps are locked up with me

[@Shadowwolf29]

[@spiritualviking8094]

Demon ftw. 40k soulfire critt is my highest yet

[@nevoyu]

God dammit, now my guild is gonna force me to swap off demonology.

[@klocper]

Very good guide, but the rotation isn’t complex compared to MoP or even retail TBH.

[@matte172]

wait, do we drain soul at 25% or 35%?

[@TomAndrews91]

It's 25%. That's the execute phase. You manually reapply Corruption at 35%.
