World of Warcraft Warlock Guide – Warlock Talent Build for Affliction Warlock

Warlock Talent Build is something you need to set right from the beginning in order to survive and dominating the game as a Warlock. Like most other classes, you can focus on one of three talent tree available to create a basic Warlock talent build. On this guide I will focus on Affliction tree.

Affliction Warlock
This type of Warlock focus on DoT (Damage over Time) to destroy their adversaries while mixing some  talents from other tree such as Demonic Embrace to increase survivability. Your main spell will be Haunt, it has three awesome effects: dealing shadow damage, increase all DoT damage, and convert the damage to heal you; this spell is a powerful combination when mixed with Life Tap. These are other talents that you need to get:

1. Improved Curse of Agony; increase this spell damage by 10%
2. Suppression; increase hit % and reduce mana cost.
3. Improved Corruption; increase your corruption damage by 10%.
4. Improved Drain Soul; return 15% mana when you kill using Drain Soul.
5. Amplify Curse; reduce curse’s cooldown.
6. Fel Concentration; just to open the next talent.
7. Nightfall; give you chance to enter Shadow Trance state.
8. Empowered Corruption; increase your corruption spell.
9. Shadow Embrace; good for DPS and debuff.
10. Siphon Life; kinda like Vampiric effects back in Warcraft 3.
11. Improved Felhunter; regain mana ability for your pet, good when pairing with Dark Pact.
12. Shadow Mastery; increase your Shadow spell damage or life drain by 15%.
13. Eradication; chance to increase spell casting speed.
14. Contagion; increase the DoT and make it more resistant to debuff.
15. Dark Pact; our other mana source, take it by draining from your pet.
16. Malediction; increase your spell damage by 3% and increase periodic critical strike chance.
17. Death Embrace; having your health below 20% during raid is a must-to-avoid-at-all-cost situation so you might not need the drain life bonus, but the damage bonus will make the fight easier.
18. Unstable Affliction; great DoT spell and nice present for anyone try to dispell it.
19. Pandemic; increase critical rate by your DoT.
20. Everlasting Affliction; reset the duration of your Corruption spells on the target, one of the best Warlock talent.

Mix some Demonology talents:

1. Improved Healthstone; improve the effect of your healthstone, just for filler.
2. Demonic Embrace; increase your survivability against AoE attack.
3. Fel Vitality; increase your pet stats, useful for Dark Pact use.

There are many variations even among the Affliction focused tree itself; other World of Warcraft Warlock guide may suggest different Warlock talent build such as mixing Shadow Bolt to make better use of Nightfall talent, adding Immolate, etc.
