Best MoP Remix Leveling Build for Affliction Warlock
Dungeon / AoE Open-World BuildRaid / Cleave Build
3.1.
Dungeon / AoE Open-World Build
This build is intended for speed-leveling and sacrifices single-targetdamage to maximize your ability to make huge pulls and AoE damage. This worksvery well in dungeons with big pulls, or in outdoor content where you pulllarge groups of enemies.
3.2.
Raid / Cleave Build
This build assumes you are spending a lot of time in Raids, or doingDungeons at a relatively normal pace where bosses take a decent amount of timeto kill. For dungeons where you do large trash pack pulls, or pull trashon top of bosses, we suggest going the AoE build instead.
Swap Dread Touch for Doom Blossom for more AoE at theexpense of single target damage.
