How you play Affliction Warlock
Put spells on the enemy that keep hurting it, and spend Soul Shards on Unstable Affliction.
Your buttons, most important first
More enemies: Agony on 4 to 6 enemies. 3 or more close together: Seed of Corruption instead of Unstable Affliction.
Biggest mistake: Letting Agony run out. It makes your Soul Shards and needs time to grow strong again.
Hero talents
Soul Harvester (best this season): spend your Soul Shards first, then Dark Harvest: it gives you 3 back.
Hellcaller: Corruption becomes Wither. Save a few Soul Shards, press Malevolence, then spend them.
