Warlock Pvp Specs – Affliction

Perhaps the most important part of warlock pvp is what spec you choose to use. In my experience there is not one single spec that is universally good for all pvp situations but I will try to outline a few in this warlock pvp guide.

The first spec I want to go over with you is a deep affliction spec. This spec is mainly useful in battlegrounds and 2v2 matches although depending on your team comp you can sometimes pull it off in 3v3 as well. The affliction spec varies a bit between locks but mainly its a matter of whether you opt for improved curse of agony and suppression or not. The following is the warlock pvp spec that I use:

Affliction (54)

  • Improved Curse of Agony 2/2
  • Suppression 1/3
  • Improved Corruption 5/5
  • Improved Life tap 2/2
  • Soul Siphon 2/2
  • Improved Fear 2/2
  • Fel Concentration 3/3
  • Amplify Curse 1/1
  • Grim Reach 2/2
  • Nightfall 2/2
  • Empowered Corruption 3/3
  • Shadow Embrace 1/5
  • Siphon Life 1/1
  • Curse of Exhaustion 1/1
  • Shadow Mastery 5/5
  • Eradication 3/3
  • Contagion 5/5
  • Improved Howl of Terror 2/2
  • Malediction 3/3
  • Unstable Affliction 1/1
  • Pandemic 1/1
  • Everlasting 5/5
  • Haunt 1/1

Demonology (17)

  • Demonic Embrace 3/3
  • Fel Synergy 2/2
  • Improved Health Funnel 2/2
  • Fel Vitality 3/3
  • Soul Link 1/1
  • Fel Domination 1/1
  • Demonic Aegis 3/3
  • Master Summoner 2/2

The big thing to remember about this warlock pvp spec is that you can tweak it a little here and there to meet your style of play. For example, I stopped using improved health funnel when I found an INSANELY good healer who could keep my pet up without it. That allowed me to get bigger health stones instead which is nice in a pinch.
