Affliction PVP sequence help please
As some of you may have guessed i have always been a strong demo/felguard supporter for pvp, but i am starting to see holes in my arena team (2man), that would be filled by Affliction and 2 extra dots. This isn't a spec question. I am deciding between either of the 2 below, what i do need help with is the sequence of events as an affliction lock as i haven't been one since level 50. Also when do you use howl of terror? I play pvp and pvp only, battlegrounds and arena. So you know the spec i will be using so your comments can be accurate. Either this for the additional burst damage with shadow burn. http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/warlock/talents.html?15022225122301155120120500000000000000000005050000 10000000000000 Or this cause of the instant summon pets so i can vary my tactics more depending on who i will be facing. Go in with void, sac him for the initial burst attack then summon what suits. Suc for melee attackers or Felpup for casters. http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/warlock/talents.html?15022225122301155120120500321032000000000000000000 00000000000000 Your help would be appreciated. |

Re: Affliction PVP sequence help please
well...this is what i have been doing Arena UA > Sph Life > Curse of Agony > Corr > Drain (SB if procs) BG UA > Sph Life > SOC >Curse of Agony > Drain (SB if procs) Seemed to work ok so far. I don't take on rogues and warriors as well as i used to, but partnered with a healer i think this spec may be better than my demon one for arena. I will let you all know after my scheduled 2man night tonight. |

Re: Affliction PVP sequence help please
I second those sequences. Also, if you have problems with rogues, I have a secondary bar with all of my rank one affliction insta-cast spells. If a rogue suddenly has 3 dots on him, odds are he'll pop CloS before he notices "wait...these are doing 40 damage per tick..." Make sure you don't burn your Deathcoil or insta-howl of terror immediately either. If the rogue catches on and DOESN'T CloS, just replace the dots with higher level ones and fight as normal. The key is to keep a mental count of how long is left on their CloS so you don't waste anything (HoT, Skill Coil, or Nightfall procs) on them that would be hugely beneficial otherwise.

Re: Affliction PVP sequence help please
I've got a cast sequence set up for Corr, SiLi, Curse of Agony, with SB on a Shift+Click and UA on CTL+Click. My reasoning is: 1. Corr 1st gives me the best chance of a NF proc even if I can only get the one dot off due to a stunlock, sheep etc. 2. UA on a modifier allows me to choose to blast it off if I have time, but keeps my sequence all instant so I can keep moving if I have to. 3. Curse of Agony last in the sequence allows me to choose to stop clicking the sequence button and use a Tongues or Exhaustion if needed. Saves a bit of mana or re-applying. 4. SB is only used when NF procs, making it instant and castable on the move as well. I've found that tab-targeting and spamming every dot in my instant sequence on every member of the opposition puts them in a tough spot. They have to either heal themselves, heal the party members, dispell themselves or dispell the party. All of those actions force them to NOT focus on something too, which the team will try to use to its advantage. If the healer focuses on someone else, GG the healer... if it focuses on himself, GG their squishiest team member while the healer is dealing with itself. Plus, all dots x5 is 4-5k of overall damage to the party, per tick. Pretty useful imo. -Jhud |

Re: Affliction PVP sequence help please
I tried it in skirmish and proper arena battles last night and well...lets just say we got owned. It was me full aff and another lock who was SL/Ruin. I just kept dying and not getting much damage on my enemies, not real burst damage was the issue. After about 15 tries, and about 13 losses i decided to switch back to my trusted 6/43/12 spec with my blessed Felguard. We then won 10 wins to 3 losses. I think some of this is due to my lack of exp with aff, but i definately find my trusted demon spec is way better...for me anyway. |

Re: Affliction PVP sequence help please
For doing Arena Affliction, I HIGHLY recomend using Enemy Cast Bar or something similar, especially in the case of rogues. |

Re: Affliction PVP sequence help please
http://wow-en.curse-gaming.com/downloads/details/2786/ Its an add-on which monitors (Amongst other things) Rogue CloS durations, Mage Iceblocks, Seductions, bascally anything on a timer in your immediate vicinity. Essentially, as soon as your nemesis hits "Iwin" you know to the second when it finishes, and you can time DoTs/Fears/Nukes/Dance as appropriate. |
