Affliction Warlock Buffs and Pet

Ok so now your a dotting afflock and you want to know which buffs and pet aka demon to use Let's start preparing for a fight and take a quick look at that.


Buffs


To keep this short the armor an affliction warlock wants to use is Fel Armor. It increases your spellpower and heals you when you do single target damage. Next thing we want to think about is turning Soul Link on, this will transfer an ammount of the damage you take to your active demon.

Last but not least we have Dark Intent, this spell we put on a friendly player. As you can see you and that player will both benefit from this spell. Question you will be asking now is "Who should I give Dark Intent?" Easy answer is a class that has DOTS. Long answer is the following: For a start consider who in your group will need the buff. Wow is about teamwork so ask around...maybe some healer really needs the haste. If nobody is in desperate need of the buff (you will see if you ask everybody will be in need and ppl will try to bribe or pay you for it) there is a quick list that can help you to get most out of it yourself.

Best healers ot put it on will be:
  1. Restoration Druid
  2. Holy Priest
  3. Restoration Shaman
Best DPS to put it on will be:
  1. Shadow Priest
  2. A Dps-ing Druid
  3. Any other class that works with Dots.
Basically just go with the person who offers you the most gold :) <--(that was a joke)


Pets aka Demons
