Affliction Warlock Guides
DPS builds for WoW Forever. Try variations in the Warlock talent calculator.
Affliction is one of the three Warlock talent trees, and guide authors play it as DPS. In Classic the Affliction tree was about damage over time, curses and draining health and mana from enemies. In the WoW Forever talent data its deepest talent is Wrack, and 14 of its 17 talents are marked new or changed from Classic 1.12.
This page lists 7 published Affliction Warlock guides (1 PvE endgame, 2 PvP endgame, 2 solo leveling, 1 dungeon leveling and 1 group leveling), newest or top rated first. Plan the build in the Warlock talent calculator, put it next to other specs with talent compare, or follow the Warlock leveling guides. The dungeon level chart shows which dungeons open at each level, up to the level 55–60 dungeons at the top of the chart.
