Remix: Legion Guide for Affliction Warlock
Welcome to our Legion Remix Guide for Affliction Warlock! on this page we will cover everything you need to know for getting the most out of your character in the Patch 11.2.5 special feature, Legion: Remix.
This page is entirely dedicated to playing Affliction Warlock in the new event. If you want to know more about Legion Remix in general, how it works and what rewards you can earn, follow the button below:
Which Artifact Path to Follow as Affliction Warlock
This event features Artifact Weapons where to spend Infinite Power
on 5 different paths. Each one of those will feature an active ability,
alongside multiple passive enhancing damage, defenses and healing. Listed
below are some recommendations, based on playstyle, but it is worth reminding
that this is a fun event where experimentation is encouraged, and personal
preference does matter.
To begin with, a quick overview of each tree:
- Nature: tree centered around
damage procs, survivability, cooldown reduction and increased resource
generation. The active ability
Call of the Forest provides a shield as well as giving bonus to casting speed.
- Fel: tree that focus on
debuff application and damage output, with multiple Rains of Fire
through Dreadlord
Twisted Crusade active ability.
- Arcane: tree that offers
both survivability and damage tied to standing
still.
Naran's Everdisc active ability deals high AoE damage and can be repeated multiple times when catching the orb back.
- Storm: main appeal comes
from the ability to cast while moving. Its active
ability
Tempest Wrath deals damage in a circle around you, increasing for each target hit. Passives offer Haste bonuses
- Holy: tree focused around healing and sustain.
As Warlock are inherently tanky during leveling being a pet class, Storm is the main recommendation, as it lessen the mobility burden. A more thematically appropriate alternative for group play can be Fel with the caveat that the debuff Fel Touched works on allies only.

Leveling Rotation for Affliction Warlock
Legion Remix offers a fun opportunity to try new classes and specialisation, and keeping things simple allows for a smoother introduction to all these new elements. Use the slider to select your level and how to use the new spells and abilities unlocked at any given point.
Move the slider below to make the guide update to your level!
Starting at Level 1, you only have one main attack
ability: Shadow Bolt.
- Level 10 — maintain
Agony on the target. Prioritise it over
Corruption when tagging mobs.
- Level 11 — keep
Unstable Affliction rolling on the target. Consider recasting it on dying enemies to gain 1 Shard in the process.
- Level 53 — cast
Soul Rot after having all the DoTs applied, in order to have stronger
Malefic Raptures. The
Drain Life component should be considered as a tool to sustain as the damage is otherwise low.
- Level 29 — Use
Vile Taint as often as possible, prioritizing multi-target situations.
- Level 2 — the first DoT becomes available
Corruption, which should be used to tag and soften up multiple enemies whenever spamming a few shadow bolts will not kill them quicker.
- Level 35 — Cast
Summon Darkglare after having applied as many Damage over Time effects as possible.
- Level 10 —
Malefic Rapture is the main Soul Shard spender both in single target and multi-target. To maximize its impact, cast it when you have the highest amount of periodic damage on targets.
- Level 13 —
Seed of Corruption is unlocked, and is mostly used to spread
Corruption on stacked targets to enable
Malefic Rapture burst windows quicker.
Pet Choice for Affliction Warlock Leveling
Summon Imp is your first available demon
but is best suited to Raid Environments. This pet is not particularly useful
for leveling, but you have no choice for the early levels.
If you are leveling alone, Summon Voidwalker
can be a helpful choice while leveling up, as it takes a lot of the pressure
off you. Avoiding casting pushback can also increase leveling speed.
Summon Felhunter can be a good choice if
you are leveling in a group or venturing into dungeons. The extra interrupt
is helpful for dealing with troublesome caster mobs.
