Re: Affliction Rotations - post patch

Also, change the way you think back to when you were raiding Affliction before SSC/TK...

If you are focusing down a single mob as we are used to doing in 0/21/40, you're going to get very little bang for your buck out of your DoTs.

I have a second castsequence I use on trash:

Curse of the Elements > Siphon Life > Corruption > Unstable Affliction

I'm rarely on the focus target, and usually tossing my fast-casts up on the other offtanked mobs.

If they're all reasonably low-health mobs, they should be being AE tanked anyway, and seeded down.

For large single-target trash, like the bots on the way to Illidari Council, or in Sunwell, I use my boss rotation.

Your strength lies in the fact that you have your DoTs ticking away on 3 or 4 mobs at a time.
