Affliction Warlock PvP Best Arena Compositions (Dragonflight / 10.0.7)
Team composition in 2v2 or 3v3 Arena is very important, because not all classes work well together. Here, we give you the best compositions you can have for your Affliction Warlock (i.e., the best classes to pair with it).
This page is part of our Affliction Warlock PvP Guide.
2v2 Arena
In 2v2 Arena, you should look to play with a healer. Affliction Warlocks
have a significant ramp up time before dealing damage and do not have either
good single target damage or crowd control. As such, double DPS comps are not
favored for an Affliction Warlock. Your primary goal is to DoT both enemies
while avoiding damage. Kiting and positioning far away are key to winning 2v2
games. Most healers synergise well with an Affliction Warlock in 2v2, but
Mistweaver Monks are typically not a good fit as Paralysis takes off your
DoT effects.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 2v2:
- Affliction Warlock + Discipline Priest
- Affliction Warlock + Restoration Druid.
3v3 Arena
Your role in 3v3 is similar to 2v2 Arena. Make sure to maintain your
DoTs on all enemies while staying at a safe position and kiting when attacked.
It is best to be playing with another caster, so you are not the only person
being interrupted. Try to use your burst rotation when the enemy team does not
have any interrupts. It is important to note that Fear should also be
used to help your teammates. If you or a teammate is struggling to stay alive,
use
Fear on the enemy DPS. Make sure to cast
Unstable Afflictions on multiple targets as a priority so the enemy
healer cannot dispel your DoTs or your teammates' debuffs.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 3v3:
- LSD/LSPri (Affliction Warlock + Elemental Shaman + Restoration Druid / Holy Priest
- Shadowplay (Affliction Warlock + Shadow Priest + Restoration Druid
- RLP/D (Affliction Warlock + Assassination Rogue + Discipline Priest / Restoration Druid
