Talent Cheatsheet for Affliction Warlock
Taloc
More Taloc Guides on Icy Veins
  
This is a standard single target build, and smart 
 Demonic Circle
placement can alleviate the movement required during Phase One.
In Mythic, you most likely will have at least 
 Dark Soul: Misery once
for every phase.
M.O.T.H.E.R.
More M.O.T.H.E.R. Guides on Icy Veins
  
Warlocks should be among the last to cross the 
 Defense Grid, as
we do not have a convenient interrupt to deal with the
Remnant of Corruption adds that spawn, and our single target boss
damage is high. The 
 Demonic Gateway is a great tool for helping the
raid deal with the 
 Wind Tunnel, as it allows you to get a few extra
casts off for free before gating away from the danger. 
 Demonic Circle
can be placed in each chamber for a similar advantage.
 Dark Soul: Misery is a great talent for this boss, as you can really
pump out serious numbers for the final chamber.
Ensure you have your cooldowns ready for the third chamber, as the boss
takes 100% additional damage due to 
 Depleted Energy.
Fetid Devourer
More Fetid Devourer Guides on Icy Veins
  
 Demonic Circle is a great way to deal with the
 Shockwave Stomp present on Heroic and Mythic, although it is not available for
every knockback, unless you time it exactly when the ability happens.
If 
 Demonic Circle is on cooldown try to position next to a column, to reduce the knockback distance.
In Mythic you may want to rotate your cooldown for each add phase.
Zek'voz, Herald of N'Zoth
More Zek'voz, Herald of N'Zoth Guides on Icy Veins
  
Zek'voz is mainly a single target fight with brief add phases.
 Siphon Life is a better choice over 
 Absolute Corruption since
Silithid Warriors will be grouped up and you can spread 
 Corruption
with 
 Seed of Corruption.
Make good use of 
 Demonic Circle throughout the fight, as there are a
variety of mechanics that necessitate movement. 
 Demonic Gateway is a
particularly good tool for assisting with 
 Eye Beam or
 Roiling Deceit. Warlocks make a great candidate for
 Orb of Corruption due to our exceptional damage cooldowns during the last phase.
Vectis
More Vectis Guides on Icy Veins
  
This is more or less a Patchwerk style fight, so focus on maximizing
your damage output. 
 Dark Soul: Misery is also great on this fight, due
to the amount of downtime in the intermission.
Talent 
 Demon Skin to reduce the steady income of damage taken and help your healers.
Zul, Reborn
More Zul, Reborn Guides on Icy Veins
  
Zul focus is boss damage. If you have at least 1 
 Inevitable Demise
talent into 
 Absolute Corruption and use adds to funnel additional damage on the boss,
else use 
 Siphon Life.
Warlocks are good candidates for soaking 
 Pool of Darkness, make good use of 
 Unending Resolve
or 
 Dark Pact if you talent into it.
Mythrax the Unraveler
More Mythrax the Unraveler Guides on Icy Veins
  
Warlocks are great for this fight, due to our high cleave and single
target pressure. Pay careful attention to your timers before using cooldowns,
however, as there are a lot of difficult mechanical overlaps that might force
you to movement for extended periods.
In Mythic use 
 Summon Felhunter to help with interrupt on the distant add during intermission, and make use of
 Absolute Corruption to damage the add even when its not targetable.
G'huun
More G'huun Guides on Icy Veins
  
G'huun focus is boss damage. While 
 Absolute Corruption may sounds the best choice
for Phase One adds, clever use of 
 Summon Darkglare to extend dots can offer equal DoT uptime, while
retaining superior boss damage by talenting 
 Siphon Life.
Depending on the strategy and raid composition you will have to place 
 Demonic Gateway and
 Demonic Circle in different places.
During last phase you can refresh Dots or channel 
 Drain Life without facing the boss when hes
about to fear the raid.
