Best Alliance Races for Affliction Warlock PvP

  1. Dark Iron Dwarf
  2. Void Elf
1.1.

Dark Iron Dwarf

Dark Iron Dwarf is the best Alliance race for Affliction Warlocks in PvP. The main reason for that is Fireblood Icon Fireblood which is a 2 minute cooldown racial which grants you an Intellect boost as well as dispelling all poisons, diseases, curses, magic and bleed effects. This is especially useful against Feral Druids and Assassination Rogues, as you can remove Deathmark Icon Deathmark.

1.2.

Void Elf

Void Elves are the second best Alliance race for Affliction Warlocks in PvP. The main reason for this is because of their racial, Spatial Rift Icon Spatial Rift, which allows you to throw out a shadow which you can then teleport to for the next few seconds. This adds to the great mobility Affliction Warlocks already have. Teams that focus you become much easier to deal with by having this extra mobility spell.

2.

Best Horde Races for Affliction Warlock PvP

  1. Troll
2.1.

Trolls

Trolls are the best choice for Horde Affliction Warlocks in PvP. The main reason for this is Berserking Icon Berserking which increases your Haste by 10% for 12 seconds. Additionally, Da Voodoo Shuffle Icon Da Voodoo Shuffle reduces the duration of snares by 20%. Due to the playstyle of an Affliction Warlock revolving around kiting it synergises well with how Affliction Warlocks perform in the Arena.
