World of Warcraft: Forever · class guide
Affliction Warlock: Rotation
The Affliction priorities, top to bottom: use the first one that applies.
Level 40–60 with Wrack (projected)
- Demonic Sacrifice the Imp, for +15% Shadow damage for 2 hours (60 build's 11
Demonology points). Unconfirmed (in client data only, not yet confirmed in game) - Amplify Curse then
Bane of Agony: +50% on the
Bane. Unconfirmed (in client data only, not yet confirmed in game) - Corruption kept up.
- Bane of Agony kept up; from 60,
Bane of Doom instead on bosses that live past a minute. - Siphon Life kept up.
- Shadow Bolt on
Nightfall procs. - Wrack once your DoTs will keep ticking through its 6 seconds: it adds 10% to them. Wowtbc uses it as the filler. Unconfirmed (in client data only, not yet confirmed in game)
- Drain Life or
Shadow Bolt as filler when
Wrack isn't worth it;
Drain Soul below 25% for shards.
Packs and AoE
- Corruption on every mob in the pack, Voidwalker holding them.
- Bane of Agony on the mobs that will live longest.
- Rain of Fire on a tight pack.
- Hellfire from 30, standing in the pack. It burns you too, and draws a lot of threat.
- Howl of Terror from 40, when the pack turns on you.
Cooldowns and emergencies
- Death Coil from 42: a 3-second horror and a heal for the damage done.
- Fear on a second mob while the Voidwalker holds the first. 20 yards only.
- Amplify Curse 3-minute cooldown: +50% on the next
Bane of Agony or
Curse of Weakness. - Create Healthstone keep one; it doesn't share the potion cooldown.
- Shadow Ward from 32, against Shadow casters.
While leveling
- Summon Voidwalker out and attacking first, on Defensive. Let it build threat for a second before your first DoT.
- Curse of the Elements on elites and long fights (
Recklessness for physical partners). Your damage DoT is a
Bane, so this costs you nothing. - Corruption instant with
Improved Corruption 5/5. - Bane of Agony if the target will live long enough; it does most of its damage late.
- Siphon Life from 30, on targets that live 20 seconds or more.
- Shadow Bolt when
Nightfall makes it instant. - Drain Life when you need health; otherwise wand.
- Drain Soul as the finisher on anything worth a shard. Don't cast anything else until it ends.
- Life Tap between pulls, or freely with a healer beside you.
