Last time i played retail it was mostly single target, is it still like that? I prefer dotting everyone, with as many dots as possible, could you guys tell me what the playstyle is? How many dots you get, what are they, and can you dot them on everyone? or just 1 target? ty guys
Unstable affliction can only be on 1 target at a time.
Corruption/Agony are the other two dots that are no limit.
It’s still pretty AoE heavy due to rapture, but less “rot em down” and more “pseudo burst em down and really burst one guy down.”

thanks man
Sorry this was not the entire picture. They also have Soul Rot that puts a dot on the target and everything around it for I think 8-12 seconds, but the ability has a 1 min CD. So it’s meant to be a burst moment rather than a persistent rot.
They also have Phantom Singularity, which is a 45 second CD, 8 second dot that damaged its target and everything near it, but yeah again a CD.
Most of the time though, it’s keep agony/corruption on as much stuff as you can, UA and haunt on one, and then spam rapture in burst windows.

What’s your most preferred damage profile? I could probably recommend a decent choice for ya.
I’ll probably go Destro if that’s what you mean
I just meant how you prefer to deal damage from a gameplay perspective. There might be a class that suits you even more than lock.
Do you like melee or range?
Lower mobility or many?
Pets or not?
That kind of thing.
Destro pumps, but it does rely on getting bolts off which can be hard with a rogue in your face.

You can have UA on 3 targets in pvp.
Ahh thanks for the reminder. PvP talents and all
Afflic playstile in WWI will still mostly likely be cleave rot
ST might work, especially with the Hellcaller build
Afflic struggles with versatility. You are locked into specific PvP talents, which can feel really frustrating into certain matchups.
Affliction is the least durable spec as it is the most susceptible to being trained. We had higher sustain in DF to counteract this and synergize with the rot design. This sustain was gutted.
Afflic has the worst shard economy. Not a deal breaker but some more micromanagement to keep in mind, especially if you struggle with kiting, juking, set ups, and peels.
Afflic will be viable in WWI, but will be harder to play than the other two specs
