Affliction Warlock – The Best DPS Class in World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth
Affliction Warlocks are exceedingly powerful when it comes to both sustained damage in single and multi-target encounters. Their strength is primarily based in damage-over-time abilities. These abilities can also be used while moving, making Affliction Warlocks exceptionally mobile without impacting their damage output. As with all Warlocks, they tout some of the most valuable utility abilities such as Demonic Gateway.
While Affliction Warlocks are well suited for high sustained damage, burst damage will require a waiting period in order to maximize mana and cooldowns. This can lead to some damage variance throughout encounters. Overall, they are the safest bet for maximizing damage output in the current build of the game making them the best DPS class in World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth.
