Affliction vs Demo PvP

Classes Warlock
1

So i run mainly as affliction for PvP in solo shuffles and BGs open world.

In most cases I have no problems beating any class 1v1 in these situations, with the exception of Demo. It seems that Demo is free to chain fear/CC while their pets pummel me.

I’ve tried CC’ing their pets, and the Demo Lock itself which is difficult, because you can only Fear one enemy at a time, and the other CC’s have Cooldowns which make CC’ing lock and pets unsustainable.

I don’t really have a problem with them in solo shuffle where I’m always in a position to LOS and have some heals, just 1v1 in an open area.

I do tongues the lock, and weakness the felguard.

I thought about getting the banish talent, but it seems like a waste of a point for just one class/spec.

So I’m looking for advice from any of the top affliction PvPers as how they open, and fight Demo Locks.

Thanks in advance.

It’s less about affliction and more about demo.

You need to stop the tyrant from railing you, and just play the LOS game. You’ll win passively off dots if you don’t keep getting chained into pets slamming into you.

As for banish, if you don’t have a pillar it’s a good alternative.

You can banish the pet to remove Soul Link and fear the Warlock if you want to double cc. Once the pet is banished, you’re free to CC chain the warlock.

I know this, but Banish is a waste of a point in the talent tree except for this instance.
It’s not worth it for one spec. I’ll just out range the tyrant when its summoned.

I just offered you a solution and you refused it. The losses are yours to keep.

Its a bad solution. I’ll just outrange the tyrant, its a better solution. Thanks for your input.
