Affliction Lock PVP Guide (Midnight Season 1) - Dominate Blitz!

Affliction just got buffed, but most players are still sleeping on it.

In this guide, I break down how Hellcaller Affliction can work super well in PvP right now (even if it struggles in some situations), and how to win games with it---especially in Blitz, where it’s one of the best specs in the game.

Get out there and snag your 1600, 1800, 1950, and higher achievements with Affliction PVP!

I stream Rank 1 level, high-rated Warlock PvP regularly, usually evenings NA time, and play all warlock specs in Arena, Shuffle, and Blitz. I've gotten Rank 1 in Shuffle and Blitz multiple times, but try to keep a chill approach to my gameplay. Feel free to stop by and ask questions live!

Chaos bold for affliction locks? Wow

@julesbling1 6 months ago

Thanks for the vid and thorough explanation. I do feel like Soul Harvester is more fun though. I have plenty of shards most of the time, and good pressure.

Dude you should do a little addon guide for your setup, are you using bigdebuffs or something else for tracking CDs on plates?

@BradleyPhillipsYT 3 months ago

Hey, just wondering your current thoughts on Hellcaller vs Soul Harvester? I notice you run Hellcaller, but the majority of players run Soul Harvester?

Hey bro, could you tell me what addon shows those big debuff icons on enemies, and what addon shows on your unit frame that debuffs are already on the target?
