All these are as affliciton? Inlcuding FLS and MLS?

What about 2v2? ty for response!!!

Yeah, the other specs are pretty bad

certainly any comp with mage warlock together will be amazing

2s is the same as wotlk, forced to play with a resto shaman or r druid, and endure long games

but technically R shaman affliction lock 2s is rank 1 viable, just very very long games and the ladder will hate you lol.

What mage spec is best with affliction in 3s? i’m assuming fire?

RLS
Shadowplay
MLS (harry potter cleave)

All 3 made it to blizzcon world championship
LSD2 also very popular. Afflic maybe the most in demand caster for 3s tbh. RLS is goated forsure it plagued the ladder.

Like someone else said in 2s youre just a menace everyone hates, including yourself & partner because 30 minute afflic/rsham games drive everyone insane. Stick to 3s unless you got that masochism talent lol.

Either. Its tradionally frost, but fire is super duper good in Cata either works great in MLS.

Deserved hell lol everybody else hopes thats all you que into

Any time I face Afflic/Sham or Afflic/Rdruid as SpM we run the healer down immediately, demount on top of them dumping all cds, and hard swap pet if he doesnt die / recovers. Thats the only way we win @2600 or its a year long game we lose. If we get the same team a 2nd time its an auto lose they know what to expect and survive lol.

yea the pet makes them sweat 100%
“just leave bro my pets OOM” quote from one of my lock buddys lol

we were “only” like 10 min into a game and he had fel dom up. But to him he considered it a lost game due to pet mana. blew my mind

I wonder if lock pets will die in 3 hits from warrs in cata? hope not

Lock pets change a lot, mostly for the better, in Cata. You lose defensive dispel on felhunter which SUCKS but keep offensive dispel on a longer CD. The imp gets defensive dispel now. :nauseated_face:. Succubus has a cool new ability that does a small knockback like blastwave, but since you play aff, succ is rarely used.

When your first pet dies you get a proc to insta summon a new one. If your pets die after that you can use soulburn to insta summon on a 1 min cd until you run out of your 3 soul shards. The felhunter also weirdly has your highest damaging ability, its bite will scale with your active dots to crit for like 20k+ on a short cooldown.
