I play Affliction and Demonology.
Is it worth going for the 4-piece set? I’ve seen that many people only upgrade 2 pieces.
I also have a question about haste. Should I stack haste, or focus more on versatility?
With 43% versatility, I don’t deal much damage, and I also don’t live very long. I don’t understand why a hunter can crit me for 7 million damage with that much versatility. I tried haste instead—I survive for about 40 seconds, but I still don’t deal much damage.
I don’t understand what the better option is.
It feels like the 4-piece set doesn’t give much value, but I want to confirm whether I’m right.
This is about Solo Shuffle. My maximum rating in Affliction is 2300, but I can’t hold it—I immediately drop to 2100, and it’s really depressing. I don’t know how to survive hunters with Shadow Priests and Restoration Shamans.
( Every game 1-2 hunters…every…and melee. Thats insane. )
And is it worth to cap mastery or crit for affli? I gues not, but maybe…dot’s do 0 dmg and easy to disspell.
So many question “why we need this”…
on hellcaller aff it does, on soulharvester aff it doesnt
its not the reason u cant pass 2.4 though
thats true, there is really no point in going higher than 30 versa, damage is too high for 1-3% dam reduction to matter
only option is to line them
for hellcaller yes, 70 mastery is pretty good, for soulharvester 30-40 mastery is enough just to make sure your UA and raptures dont hit like a wet noodle, your main damage will be from storing 1 nightfall proc into haunt-bolt-bolt combo anyway which only is affected by versa/crit chance
basically you every game go one target while cleaving the other one(going 1 dps while keeping dots up on another) and spam ccing healer with whatever u have, may also try to spam fear dps between your healer ccs but that doesnt help much as fears break faster than your next global ends lol
hellcaller aff is more dot damage/more sustained dps/good burst, soulharvester aff is 0 dot damage/less sustained dps due to that/big burst every 1m with soulrot+haunt+bolt+bolt
both are playable, just require diffferent talents/different gear sets, its more to what you prefer
oh and vs restoshamans - kill their healing streams on sight, helps a lot as affli
