What it feels like when you're leveling an affliction warlock in WotLK?

[@o0Donuts0o]

Shouldn’t you be applying haunt first for the damage bonus to your dots? Or does haunt work on the next dot tick as well?

[@CoachJohnMcGuirk]

You can just pull endless mobs with just corruption and they die in a few tics with decent gear. You don't ever have to stop moving or stop pulling. Leveling as aff lock in wrath is so fun. I'm sunwell geared just three slots away from full BiS and I can't wait to basically be one shotting everything with insta cast corruption as I run past.

[@Dustomatic]

Not quite, no. At, say, 74, mobs have about 9-10k health. Your corruption will do about 3500 damage at that time.

[@maga-dc2hp]

I remmeber farming in WotLK with blue gear, and a fiew epics, simply puting 2 DoTs on each mobs, and constantly walking arround yes. Guess i had not the gear for one DoT them.

[@bosssavage3325]

Lifetap before the mob that has haunt on it dies so haunt heals your Hp and also lifetap directly after a haunt cast if the target already has a haunt active. Always tap before pressing drain life also. Never stay at full Hp or mana. Go full spellpower gear because who needs mana or hp when you heal through damage done and have unlimited mana.

[@JDBob3]

if you want to lifetap twice during your fights, it's up to you. But it lowers your dps drastically simply to have your hp higher at the beginning of the next fight which isn't a necessity. Lifetap on your way to the next target is way more efficient, less satisfying in a way but more efficient.

[@huna7a]

I always level a warlock with affliction pvp talents if I do battlegrounds or dungeons too. If I dont do that im using imp destruction pve talents for leveling. Both very effective, succubus pvp talents are slightly more effective in survivability but I lose alot of damage to achieve that. And the fat targets usually are immune to seduction so this is why I prefer imp build.

[@bdobbins0126]

Try using a fel hunter(it increases your spell power through fel armor) and then just unstable affliction, corruption, curse of agony. Walk and keep pulling and watch the wake of bodies accumulate behind you.

[@filipswowchannel335]

sure, felhunter is a primary affliction pet when raiding and stuff. But the spell power increase is like +20 or something (64 spirit * 0.3), which can't hurt, but i like to stay safe with voidwalker shield when I am leveling :)

I use felhunter and dark pact for more dmg and infinite mana, felhunter accounts for 30% of total dmg on single target, you dont need voidwalker to tank anyways.

[@men4ek867]

idk how you healing that much, i got those talents , but i'm not even close, maybe because of gear, i just yoused boost

[@filipswowchannel335]

The most important thing is to put Corruption on every mob because of siphon life :) Then I do Haunt + Drain Life on one of them. When Haunt ends, or the mob with Haunt dies, it heals you a lot (depending on how much dmg you dealt to it). Then you pick the next mob with highest health and do Haunt + Drain life on that, while the dots are ticking on the rest. 5-6 mobs at a time should be doable, as long as they don't have interrupts or something. And don't forget to keep your Soul Link active at all times (it's a talent but it needs to be activated). Voidwalker shield (Sacrifice) can always back you up when in trouble. As you can see, Corruption + UA is enough for me to kill a mob, and if they survive with low health, I finish them off with a quick Rain of Fire. I am not so boosted... maybe a little. I am using just 138 greens from normal northrend quests. But I am fully equipped, including trinkets and rings (all 138 greens obtainable from quests) + spell power enchant on hands and staff (they are cheap and affordable).

[@brentritchie6199]

Wonderful video thank you

[@llenn6284]

What macros are you using?

[@davidmarks509]

Great stuff. ty for sharing

[@thomasbosshard5853]

Why do you get this amount of heal the whole time?

[@filipswowchannel335]

Corruption on all and Siphon Life talent. Also Haunt and Drain Life once dots are up on all mobs. Although, you need to be fast. If you don't kill them quickly enough, they kill you. Anyway, this is to some extent a "comedy sketch." It might not be possible with all types of mobs. Some can be stronger. Always read the terain first :-)

[@Kanserus]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but putting up CoE AFTER applying dots doesn’t increase the dmg of the dots on the target no? Need to CoE then dot for it to apply

[@steamedturtle]

That's not correct. CoE is dynamic and updates in real time, along with haunt and shadow embrace.

[@itsurGam3]

Why CoE in the first place? Just use CoA, run and pull everything you see 😅

[@bornts8944]

@@itsurGam3 because coa deals more dmg over time meanining the shorter the fight the less mana efficient you are. coe is better for short fights

[@filipswowchannel335]

Yes, I think that's correct. At least from my experience on this private server. When I apply CoE after dots, it doesn't increase the damage of the dots that are already on. The haunt is different. it will improve the dots that are already on. I am sorry if that doesn't seem 100% correct 😄I am not putting too much tought into it when I grind mobs, I just go. But the reason why I am doing this is that if I pulled with CoE, the mob engages immediately (with 0 damage taken, plus it triggers my GCD) and when I do ustable affliction -> corruption, the mob engages with 2 heavy dots already on. But on boss fight for example, the CoE sure goes first.

[@herbythechef7624]

@@bornts8944 yes but if you COA and start running around then it gives time for agony to do its full duration

I pop haunt on mob 1 then UA and dots followed by a quick lifetap then haunt on mob 2 and repeat cycle. I finish every fight full hp and mana while pulling 5-6 mobs in a chain.

[@filipswowchannel335]

yep, indeed that's possible and 5-6 mobs are doable. I think that's similar to what I am doing, only I am not paying so much attention to keeping my health and mana at 100% here. Dots (Corruption + UA) on all as I pull, and then Haunt on one of them. I don't do CoA because Corruption + UA is enough for me to down a mob and UA is faster than CoA...

Also - once you get your hands on Glyph of Siphon Life and Glyph of Quick Decay you become a powerhouse leveler/farmer! If you also take the CoE talent and the minor Glyph of CoE - you can kite Elites and use Demonic Sacrifice on your Blue Blob if needed. This, with Dark Pact, Fear, Howl of Terror, Death Coil, Drain Life, HS, etc. - you are almost indestructible.
