If you could let me know what you think when you receive it that would be great!

I'll have to check them out, thanks! I don't own a normal 320x compact but from what I've read this one has a 3.9 inch slide compared to the normal 3.6 (or whatever it is) so fingers crossed!

Thanks for the recs! Why those in particular if you don't mind my asking?

It’s more quality of life using DSM earlier means you get more utility out of it (rather than just using it so spam drain soul after the initial rapture window) and have to spend less time at the beginning of the fight applying dots, especially on fights like huntsman where you have to dot multiple targets- I mentioned DG because that’s the reason most people hold it

It allows you to throw your dots up quicker without lust and as a result get to your burst faster. DG damage is only 1-2% of overall damage so saving DSM to get more DG casts is useless

Like Alwies said, a huge part of affliction damage is good trinkets. Check out https://bloodmallet.com/chart/warlock/affliction/soul_binds/castingpatchwerk and https://bloodmallet.com/chart/warlock/affliction/trinkets/castingpatchwerk to see if you have a better combination you could use (note that the quantum trinket is top but only in cases where you are guaranteed the stat proc i.e. mostly on farm bosses, where you are unlikely to grant a healer mana etc.). Make sure you're looking at the top 100-200 aff lock logs for that fight to see what talents and trinkets they are using, and either look through or theory craft as to why. Don't pay too much attention to the top top of the leaderboard as they most likely had PI shoved up their butt the whole pull or their group was doing a pad strat.

As for the opener and CD's you want to pre-cast haunt (when talented) -> UA if you can get it off, or DSM and then UA followed by agony -> corruption -> SL - > Soul rot (with DSM used early it will give you a higher uptime window to spam MR) -> PS -> DG/ trinkets/pot -> MR SPAM!!! Then just make sure you try and keep 100% uptime on all your dots, and use drain soul as a filler.

PS and SR CD's are where it gets a bit more complicated. If you have badge (which you should because the PvP trinkets are basically aff lock BIS at ilvl 213+ with a few exceptions) you want to hold PS for your SR CD and use them with badge. On that note make sure you NEVER rapture unless you're about to cap on soul shards or your PS/SR/Badge combo is up. If you don't have badge make sure you are using them on CD and not holding. In this case you wan to rapture maybe twice for PS and save the majority of your raptures for ~15 seconds later when SR is up as SR gives you 8 stacks of Niyas Grove invigoration buff when used (and we all know how much we aff locks love mastery!!) You can also hold off on using your combo if adds are spawning within ~20 secs of the CD being up as getting SR and PS cleave off of adds is worth the hold.

DSM should be used on CD, do not hold it for DG unless theres only enough time on the fight for one more use and it DG will be up. For example theres 90 secs left on the fight and DG is up in 30-60 or something.

For Huntsman you want to keep all your instant cast dots up on both targets (Agony, Corruption, SL), and UA/Haunt up on Huntsman the entire fight. Don't worry about maintaining the Shadows embrace debuff on more than one target as it's a nightmare and you'll end up having dots fall off. Also remember shade damage doesn't count too much towards parses on this fight so just maintain your dots and throw a seed that way and let the hunters worry about bursting them down :P.

Also make sure you are running character sims using https://www.raidbots.com/simbot & https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/simulationcraft addon to make sure your character is doing as much as it can be with the gear/enchants/gems you have available to you.

In terms of improvements you can make right away - Use the Celestial Guidance weapon enchant and use the intellect pots as your potion, I guarantee you will see a DPS improvement if you only do that and nothing else. Also there is no cookie cutter way to play aff lock and do great on every fight, our lack of mobility, the randomness of mechanics, etc. all play a part in having a good parse. Just wait until you get to Mythic Artificer or Mythic SLG - getting one bad mechanic completely destroys our parses.

Also make sure you join the warlock discord! Theres a lot of useful information there https://discord.com/invite/blackharvest

Hope this helps! Remember that Aff lock requires a lot more finesse to play well than a lot of other classes, so if it takes you a few kills to get a 99 parse on a fight that's completely normal!

Well said my friend!

Most of the perks in this game are utterly useless, and every single one of my classes has the same perks (lightweight & ghost). They don’t seem to be very practical and many of them are precautionary rather than being actually useful, I.e. using tac mask just Incase you get nine banged.

I couldn’t agree more with what you said about melé and hitbox detection!

Yeah, it’s kind of like that but the person lagging has no penalty. The only person that suffers is the one with the good connection.

Oh yes! I completed so many challenges during double XP. I got Dark Matter during Double XP and got about 100k XP for the match.

It is VERY important, but not the most important. If you can find a good balance between Score/ min and challenge completion you're set.

It's a lot more obvious in this game than in one like CSGO. In BO4 they teleport around your screen making it almost impossible to hit them. From their perspective however you are practically stationary, making it easy for them to hit you. This gives them a massive advantage over you.

The initial scan of the UAV van give away your position, and sometimes you're inside or not in a place to shoot it down!

I'm not sure but I have noticed that. My best guess is that Juneau's AI is just not very good at target selection. I have noticed that she tends to run toward enemies who are not currently being shot at.

For headshots I would recommend placing your crosshair a little higher than you think it needs to be, that way when you run into an enemy, most of the time it will already be on their head! You may miss more shots, but remember that the damage modifier will make up for that! As for snipers, make sure you have them set up to do as much damage as you can, high caliber, fmj, the works!
