Affliction Warlock 7.3

Honestly, I don't think so. Despite the boost in damage from channeling Drain Soul, it's more important to prioritise actually placing all the DoTs on the enemy prior to having a shorter DS channel, rather than interrupting your DoT casting to try and grant the fewer DoTs the damage boost.

I've noticed that I drop crazy much in DPS on multi target situations using grasp+contagion, even keeping unstable affliction on 2 targets I can't get even close to what I get using Writhe+Corrupted :/

Now that does sound odd. Can you test it in-game and send me a log of it? Even if it's just a simple 2-dummy test.

quick random thing to fix, in the 7.2 changes paragraph, tormented souls links to the vengeance demon hunter trait, instead of the correct affliction passive

Hi, kinda wondering about your suggested first golden trait. Why do you acquire wrath first than harvester? Doesn't wrath need to kill something to get the damage buff for dots while harvester just procs off corruption tick? Isn't maintaining harvester easier and more efficient to manage than wrath? Or the kill doesn't necessarily mean the killing blow?

Would be nice to have a list of BiS from other than the last raid, since You can get good gear from m+

Can we get clarification on the Affliction Relic/AP Trait page? I see that Shadowy Incantations is listed first for Relic choice, but Perdition is listed before Shadowy Incantations for order of AP traits after 35. Thanks in advance.

Its my first time using the Pawn addon. Are the stat weights for Pawn reliable for affliction warlocks?

no, I suggest you use stat weights from Askmrrobot.com they are usually pretty good and you can change the weights in pawn to be the same to those in amr. I have had very good success with it and usually get pretty good ranking on bosses

I think it's basically just because of how simple it is in current content to get those tags in order to trigger Wrath. You're looking at a 10-20% damage buff based on killing adds and, given that there a huge number of add fights and of course M+ adds, you can keep Wrath up a huge amount. On some fights it's like a 95%+ uptime.

From the guide:

Quote

With the existence of Titanforged and Mythic+ dungeons, there is no such thing as a hard Best in Slot anymore. This is more of a guideline for the best pieces to keep an eye out for in your raid or dungeon (if applicable). Be smart, and if you find higher item level pieces with valuable stat combinations do not hesitate to upgrade to them.

Hope this helps.

Why? 'Command Demon' has no function without an active demon anymore.

I believe this is just an outdated section - will ask Furty.

Simcraft is also an excellent tool for this! :)

Is anyone else finding that the 4 set doesn't do that much in terms of shard generation? Or at least does not feel like it is, also Soul Effigy is much better on giving you shards back than Conduit from what I have found. But it is harder to use if you are going for Grasp + Contagion build.

The choice here should be based on what you are facing, not the talents themselves. Effigy is definitely better at returning them (about 5% higher chance on average), but in a single target/effigy environment. When you have multiple adds available and are constantly multi-dotting, such as in M+, you're going to use Conduit any day of the week. It will feel like you are getting more shards back there as well. 

Also remember that Conduit is RNG. 20% chance is an average chance, not a guaranteed return. You could in theory get 80% of your shards back, or you could get 2% of them back. Everything is possible with RNG.

I am confused on this guide entirely. I'm running contagion and the rotation says to dump 2-3 UA's and then refresh your dots after UA falls off. Later in the guide it says to keep 100% uptime on UA.

I also seen in the guide that it says to focus all your UA's on one target, then immediately says to keep UA on 2-3 targets in the next paragraph.

I also think there needs to be priority system instead of just a rotation. After a while, my dots start falling off at random times and I don't really know which one to put first. If I'm at full shards do I need to put all my dots back on before using UA? This guide needs some work.

I would personally like to see a list of decent trinkets that can be farmed from mythic + dungeons, for example is the Dreadstone trinket from CoEN placed anywhere in the ranking list among the raid trinkets.

Also, I find that even though erratic metronome does seem to be decent, a stat stick trinket works a lot better for sustained dps that can be relied on.

Does the rotation change with Contagion? I see in some spots of the guide that when Contagion is involved, you need to keep 100% uptime on Unstable Affliction. Does that mean when UA is about to expire I need to refresh it just like I would my other dots or do I need to do the drain rotation and apply several UA's and drain soul until it expires?

Another question, after the drain phase is over, do I need to refresh my dots regardless of the duration or should I continue to drain soul until the dots are about to expire? Agony sometimes last a while longer so I am not sure if I need to refresh the dot immediately.

The BiS list is entirely focused on Nighthold - it's why Metronome is listed. There are better trinkets, but it's the best one to use with Whispers from Nighthold. 

I can ask for a trinket list, but I can't guarantee anything. Due to war/titanforging, it can take a huge amount of effort to have a sim list comparing every item level. Will see what the writer says!

You simply maintain UA 100% of the time. If you can stack, do it. It will depend on number of soul shards and will require slightly more management of them. Make sure you don't catch yourself shardless and letting the contagion buff drop.

      War Within Alpha should be just around the corner! When do we expect the latest expansion testing to start?
      If you've been keeping an eye on the World of Warcraft 2024 roadmap, you're likely excited about what's coming up! According to the roadmap, the War Within Alpha is expected to kick off sometime after Patch 10.2.6, which was released two weeks ago, and before the beginning of Season 4.

      Typically, a season lasts 22 weeks. Right now, we're in the 20th week of Season 3, with just about two weeks left. Let's break down the hypothetical timeline:
      Season 3 Week 20: Week of March 26 Season 3 Week 21: Week of April 2 Season 3 Week 22: Week of April 9 Season 4 Week 1: Week of April 15 This schedule suggests that the War Within Alpha could potentially launch as early as next week or during the week of April 9.
      The most recent news from the War Within camp came on March 27, when Blizzard rolled out a fresh encrypted internal build on the WoW Dev CDN. The internal builds are becoming more and more frequent which indicates Blizzard's ramping up to start testing in the very near future.
      Placeholder for tweet 1772901807448052151 In the meantime, we encourage you to check out everything coming in the War Within pre-patch that will release 1 month before the actual expansion.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.
      (Source)
      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale
