Help please - not good - affliction

Classes Warlock

So i think im doing something wrong here
I stack enemies during quest for faster swipes, 3 to 4 enemies at a time
i cast corruption and agony (im level 22) and also Unstable Affliction
while 3 of them running i use life drain.
So here is my problem, i dont do that much of a damage…
When i played as hunter i could take out a single target with 2 shots or 3 at worst, within about 3 seconds, so 4 targets would of been 12 seconds.
but with my warlock its a struggle, i have to re-cast most spells as they run over before the enemy dies, and i have to tab-spam to make sure all enemies are under the effect of my spells, and its not only macro heavy, but it also takes much more then 12 seconds, about 20 seconds or so for 4 enemies.
Hell, my warrior could swipe enemies faster…
help?

As affliction, this is what I generally do when solo in most common scenarios:

  • 3 Target scenario:
  1. Have and maintain Agony and Corruption on all targets
  2. Chain cast 2-3 times Unstable Affliction 1 target. Cast Deathbolt.
  3. Switch to next target. If Deathbolt on cooldown, cast shadowbolt or use drain life if you have Azerite buff.
  • More than 3 targets scenario (stacked enough)
  1. Seed of Corruption to spread Corruption an all targets
  2. Place Agony on priority targets
  3. Blow cooldowns, including Summon Darkglare
  4. Cast another 1 or 2 Seed of Corruptions
  5. Spam Unstable Affliction on 2-3 targets
  6. Use Deathbolt (or shadowbolt/drainlife if Deathbolt on CD)
  • 1 Target scenario:
  1. Maintain Agony and Corruption all the time
  2. 3 Cast Unstable Affliction on the target
  3. Blow cooldowns
  4. Deathbolt
  5. Maintain dots with your filler of choice. (Shadowbolt/Drainlife)

Things change drastically when you start raiding. (Not LFR raiding)

Cant remember how strong i was at lvl 22, just remember you are a rot spec,
wear down the enemies, let your void tank them, heal pet and fear if getting to much aggro at once, and old school kiting.
Though were not in best place at moment its still good fun playing affliction.
