Great content mate. Been playing WoW for around a year now (coming off of near-maxing in OSRS, lol) and Aff Warlock became my main during MoP Remix. So not a lot of time spent on either WoW or Aff Lock, but I've been hitting the books. TWW S1 is my first season running Mythic+. Found myself recently struggling with overall damage and DPS, and almost always in third place on the meters. Been looking toward your content for pointers and it has helped a great deal for ironing things out. Much respect, will be staying tuned!
I feel blessed finding this content. It’s so minimalistic, straightforward and down to earth just exactly what my taste’s like. Thank you for what you doing for warlock community ❤
Before TWW I hadn't played my lock since BC and MoP. I really love watching your video commentary (it helped me figure aff out specifically). I also watch your stream! Appreciate all you do!
Hi Vlox, quick question - do you cancel your normal drain soul when you get a nightfall or crescendo proc? Or do you finish the cast and use it afterwards? Ty very much for all the content!
Thanks for the vid. I’m always hesitant to play affli as sometime I focus on dot upkeep over mechs this vid helps. Also, I noticed you are using elvui but still have blizzard retail combat font. How did you get it to do that?
how you apply UA and Agony between VT cds so easily? Do you cycle through with tab? Im struggling with single targeting when theres a big stack. Thanks in advance
Great vid. I’m seeing Destro creep up the warlock rankings in the logs for keys, looks like a 50/50 split of destro and aff for the top 20 (I’ve done a couple keys on destro and the boss damage seems great but the AoE feels bad) Do you have any preference? The pack-to-pack AoE on destro just feels so bad if you don’t get enough ruination procs or diabolist summons vs aff brings the juice as long as it has one or both of vile taint/soul rot up
Definitely think aff still better overall. You bring more aoe and really good prio damage on trash. Any boss you can funnel on is also really good. The only time it’s not insanely good is pure single target anything, but I don’t think the small bit of boss damage you’re getting playing sb destro really makes up for the aoe you lose over the key
You need to manually refresh if vile taint is not up. I generally try to get as many targets in the pack that I can without delaying cds, capping nightfalls or capping shards
hey, liking your videos with commentary they help a fellow warlock player out a lot. I’d be curious to hear your opinion on destruction versus aff for M+.. are there particular dungeons you prefer one versus the other? Or in general, do you have a preference between the two? I like both but sometimes I struggle if there’s a hard target switch as aff whereas destruction that feels easier but I might do less overall damage. Thanks!
also, in your last video you said you like the mobility of shadowbolt but here you’re running drain soul.. do you make that choice dungeon by dungeon too?
I like aff for every dungeon except maybe high level city of threads, but even there aff is pretty good. Shadowbolt vs. drain is mostly key dependant for me
@@Vlox_Gaming i think that destro is better in stonevault, any thoughts about this dungeon? its easier to switch into totems, shards at left boss, and you got havoc to burst the right boss, or am i wrong? Would really appreciate ur point of view, saw ur video as affli ^^
How far behind do you think hellcaller is for keys? I enjoy it more than soul harvester, but if its like 10+ percent DPS behind, i probably need to suck it up and say goodbye to wither.
Why does every wow players sounds like they are just done with life and have no interests in anything, and ending every sentences with a question inflections? Love the content :)
man as a destro main that been rank 10 wl etc I most say this season warlocks feel so weak. even in ur vids usually your far off topping the meter, so much work for no return when u can just play paladin 4 button 2m dps ^^
@@Vlox_Gaming Paladin 4button spec with more dmg and utility? Boomies on the rise and probably nr 1 dps next patch, Aff lock is fine but destro lacks alot of dmg and usually fire mage/Destro lock can easly top the meter

This videos have really help3d with my confidence going into keus
Great job, um a quick question, if the rapture lights up during drain soul, do you cancel it or finish it?
Hi Vlox, quick question - do you cancel your normal drain soul when you get a nightfall or crescendo proc? Or do you finish the cast and use it afterwards? Ty very much for all the content!
did you ever make a video just about kicking as a lock in keys? Or does anyone know of one. Ive never done much and trying to get better at it.
Thanks for the vid. I’m always hesitant to play affli as sometime I focus on dot upkeep over mechs this vid helps. Also, I noticed you are using elvui but still have blizzard retail combat font. How did you get it to do that?
You can change combat text font in the elv settings
how you apply UA and Agony between VT cds so easily? Do you cycle through with tab? Im struggling with single targeting when theres a big stack. Thanks in advance
I just click nameplates pretty much

How often do you manually apply and refresh agony and to how many mobs? Or do you just primarily use taint? Thanks.

Destro solid for crystal boss 100%

The aoe is ok the st is just really bad so not really playable for high keys
Why do you use ravenous affliction here instead of death's embrace? is there any specific reason?
Deaths embrace is a dead talent on last boss
Are those trinkets you use bis for M+ bro?
I’d probably be wearing a spymaster and gale if I had those
I noticed in lot of higher keys Aff is running Drain soul over shadow bolt, why is that?
Drain is slightly more damage but shadow bolt gives you more mobility
What is ur gear? I just dont get it, ur dmg with a melee comp is unreal, im 622 4 set and average 1.3mil overall in 10’s keys,

After so much pugging in keys we just need to question our existence you know
Because its how it is
any chance we see demo again?
Yes will post something soon
@@Vlox_Gaming Demo waiting room. I tried destro but I just cant stay up there on meters.
Great video
Can you share your plater profile pls 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Using elvui, no plater. There is a video on my channel going over my ui. Also ui info available on my discord
Is there other keys that you would take Drain Soul over Shadow Bolt? I've been playing SB exclusively in all M+ keys but maybe I should to back to DS?
Yes key specific
now that by now u prolly know how to play shadowburn properly lets see some destro vids!
man as a destro main that been rank 10 wl etc I most say this season warlocks feel so weak. even in ur vids usually your far off topping the meter, so much work for no return when u can just play paladin 4 button 2m dps ^^
I don’t think we’re terrible I actually think balance for keys is pretty decent right now outside of maybe frost dk
