What is the standard pvp rotation for afflictin warlocks?
What is your pvp rotation for affliction warlocks?
I just started on affliction and would like any input. I will reward your lowbies if you are from Arthas server. :(.
Spell Priority for pve from elitist jerks. i'm trying to revise it for pvp use..
1 Haunt
2 Demon Soul
3 Bane of Doom
4 Corruption
5 Unstable Affliction
6 Drain Soul (below 25%)
7 Shadowflame
8 Shadow Bolt
should i use bane of agony instead of bane of doom?
why is corruption and bane of doom a bigger priority than unstable affliction.
since they say that shadow bolt is a bigger priority than drain soul unless their below 25. s hould i spam shadow bold instead of drain soul when the enemy is over 25%?
shoudl i start the battle with unstable affliction?} or with haunt?
How do you play your warlock?

There is no rotation in pvp for any class. Hell there are hardly rotations in the game anymore, but priority lists. In pvp its a mix of doing damage on controlling the fight, what is going on dictates what the next best move is. And there are too many situations to give an simple 'do-this' list.

Shadowbolts are fine when you have no pressure
I'd use Drain Life instead of SB.
But true, most of the time you're refreshing DoTs, that's for sure. Haunt on nuke target.
Only benefit I see in casting SB is to ramp up Shadow Embrace bit faster. I used SB for that rarely.
And generally casting UA is better than refreshing with Felflame. Of course if your faking doesn't work you shouldn't let UA drop...

Note:
generally
I also have noticed it bugging against Mage Armor. For some reason the duration just shortens and the duration limit goes lower.
Example: Cast UA, it lasts about 12 seconds. Fel Flame twice at 4 sec. Duration is 10 seconds. Fel Flame twice again. Duration is 8 seconds. And so on.
Or I'm wrong and I must have been really, really drunk...

Definetely bind them. For instance I bet you don't want to Spell Lock fellow afflock's fire school, right?
E: Of course leave the obvious ones on autocast. (Shadow Bite, Fire Bolt, Legion Strike, Lash of Pain, Torment)
E2: I'm not sure if you're already familiar with creating and using macros, but if you're not, you should create some. Focus macros are a necessity.
From
here
you find the most important macros.
From

you can learn to create macros on your own.

Shadow bolt versus drain life really depends on a couple of factors.
Are you low on hp > DL
Are you in danger of being switched on to > DL
Are you free to cast and high on hp > SB
Is your opponent trying to los you > DL

how about drain life vs drain soul when your hp is high?

Drain soul if your hp is high and his is sub-25%

I have about 3600 resilience fully gemmed and enchanted.
I do plenty of damage but it feels like I'm not doing any damage at all?
Do you guys face this dilemma sometimes?
I went 8 - 9 in 2v2 arena and still don't know where most of my damage comes from.
Should I spam Haunt as soon as it shows up? or should I only refresh it when the debuff wears out?
In pvp, what would you use soul burn for?

Damage in 2v2 is low because the game isn't balanced around 2v2.
Always spam Haunt of CD.
Like the one above me I use it for insta-pet and macro'd health stone.
