Re: Haunt/SL or Chaos Bolt/SL
The Consensus seems to be that Destruction is best for arenas, and ill probably end up going with that, but there are a few useful things i see with Affliction
1. Instant Howl of Terror-Even if they trinket the death coil, and use a second trinket/ability to get out of the fear, you still have another panic button that can extremely well used against melee.
2.Your dots stay on after you die-Since ill probably be the one dying first in 2v2 and proabaly pretty fast in 3v3 and 5v5, it seems very useful to still do damage after your dead. With UA,Corruption,Curse of Agony,SL, and Haunt all on someone, they are going to take alot of damage even if your dead
3. UA-If they have a healer on their team, or someone that can dispell, they may be more reluctant to do so when UA is up. Since healers are probably killed first if their there, then they likely wont have enough health left to risk dispelling a UA.
I know destruction probably has its perks too, but do they really outweigh affliction?
