Affliction Warlock PvP Talents and Builds — 12.0.5

You can choose 3 of the following PvP talents. The two mandatory choices are the most essential, with the third being switched out depending on the matchup.

Jinx causes your curse abilities to cost a Soul Shard, but also applies Corruption and Agony. This talent is mandatory to help lower the amount of globals you need to maintain your DoT effects.

Bloodstones is a new talent which replaces your Healthstone with Bloodstone, which increases your Haste by 20% instead of healing you. This can be taken against teams or matchups that are not focusing you.

Rot and Decay causes your Shadow Bolt, Drain Life and Drain Soul abilities to extend the duration of your DoTs on the target. This talent helps to reduce the globals required to maintain your DoT effects.

Impish Instincts reduces the cooldown of your Demonic Circle: Teleport by 3 seconds when you take Physical damage with an internal cooldown of 5 seconds. This in synergy with Abyss Walker makes this PvP talent a very good pick against melee teams who target you.

Nether Ward allows you to reflect all magical spells for the next 3 seconds. This is a good option vs double caster teams where you might not need Impish Instincts.
