watching this made me want to go play my aff lock again... then i went and played my aff lock again and got insta gibbed by MM hunters a double convokes. Time to reroll.
Just subbed man...super stoked that you're posting. Been a lock main for 16 years but I've never been able to place in arenas...Drives me crazy. What 2v2 / 3v3 comps do you suggest to rise in rating with as affliction?
I actually just rerolled to lock from ret because we all know a nerf is coming for ret. Just wanted to thank you because warriors are smashing my face rn. Im undergeared but still.
@@SFBay69 already started lvling a priest hahaha, shadow counters legit all my mains. I smash they still but mass dispell is one of the best arena abilities in the game
The warriors got outplayed multiple times, this is how it should work. With Windwalker monks you can outplay them a million times and they still win on default
My warrior has door of shadows and unlimited 15 yard charges with condemn (pvp talent) much harder to kite. Also we can talent 2 charge charges. Might pick that up against aff
in the 2nd match, what chunked the warriors health so hard at the end? It looks like he was a little higher than 1/4 hp and then he just died instantly.
Could blizzard treat gates as like a wand that can be destroyed. And when destroyed it can be redeployed by casters? That would be more challenging lol.
@@hunternewberry5860 if you talent 2 charges you dont have a stun so thats not happening, door of shadows is too long to cast in a burst meta where people die in 0,5 sec and death sentence is going to help y but not too much bc you gon be rage starved
@@pawlo8717 youre joking right? You saw the video? If warrior had door he wouldn't get kited, its amazing to have another gap close and its a fast cast. You aren't rage starved if you have dots damaging you constantly that builds rage so you can death sentence charge indefinitely.
The warrior aint using his intervene on his team mate healer, against heavy kiters always position urselves to use max benefit of intervene :D cool vid tho
@@Tydar because the covenant about siphoning anima to gorge yourself and the covenant about power and survival are losing out to the furry force. I don't like it and I refuse to play night fae.
@@slapmilk9421 to each their own. I just dont like that warlocks are forced to play night fae to be competitive in pvp and its pretty much the best for pve as well barring necrolord for demo but thats trash tier anyway.
@@AcSlaytah56 a warlock cares only about one thing: power and destruction. A warlock will always choose what makes him the strongest, a warlock would choose night fae
I guess they both dispelled UA. warrior with flask but I'm not sure if flask triggers the UA debuff tho. I'd also like some explanation if someone knows
And here I am trying to make demo work, with shitty pet survivability, insane ramp ups etc. This aff legendary needs to go away but not before making the class actually viable and nerfing cleaves, this is just downright horrible design.
You really don't run out of rage. It refunds rage if they don't die. And if you are being kited you are probably taking damage and that generates rage. Only time you're rage starved is if you are getting kited and not being hit at all
I don't know what vid you were watching but no 1.2k locke can do this. He is basically predicting the warrior, forcing the war to make certain plays & counter attack. It's like a chess game. It's not broken, it just takes huge amount of skill.
Rotating portal, night fae blink, gate with pally freedom after charge and leap isn't hard ^^ .. so 50% perma snare combined with the above is indeed OP and needs nerfing.
@@billygoat9006 i think you should be very careful what you wish for. The only thing sacrolash does is save you a global per melee. If sacrolash is nerfed it will make aff go for lower shard downtime or higher burst legendaries instead, with the tradeoff of being even more gcd-starved. Sacrolash is purely a qol legendary.
@@alis4311 It saves you more than that as a lock if the opponent have almost no uptime on you. I'd rather take more damage but be able to do my own. If the qol benefit you speak of means not being hit by melee, then it needs nerfing.
@@billygoat9006 no in the situations shown in the video it saves 1-2 gcds every 12 seconds. The only alternative if Sacrolash didnt exist would be to keep the warrior permanently on curse of exhaustion. The situation for the warrior is exactly the same, hence the legendary is not the problem
im interesting what class is then hard? r u fcking kidding me? Chanimal is prob the best lock ofc he would win against 2.2 war. Step into arena on affli - im not sure i u would be able to get to 1.6 at least
@@andmat3297 sure bro lock is so hard especially at 1.6 it's a nightmare no one can touch me because i have demonic circle, gate and night fae that allows me to blink and run like a monkey which requires so much skill btw oh and yea i have got the biggest cleave damage in the game and basically if a healer dispells my shit he might lose 90 % of his health but yea climbing as a lock was such a terrible experience for me so fucking hard i swear

Hoping to release a Kiting / Positioning Guide vs Melee with narration explaining mobility usage etc. with narration on Tuesday or Wednesday!
Hell ya love the video man. The more guides the better!
Would it be possible for a guide using 3s as examples? Ty!
PLEASE!
Tho what about in 3s. When there are more factors how do you priorities your cooldowns situationally?
This will be very helpful, Chanimal. Your content keeps me playing Warlock.(Rolled it this expac...)
watching this made me want to go play my aff lock again... then i went and played my aff lock again and got insta gibbed by MM hunters a double convokes.
Time to reroll.
you know you can reflect the convoke right?
More vidz like these! Please makes me feel so much better about my choice to main lock this xpansion
Just subbed man...super stoked that you're posting. Been a lock main for 16 years but I've never been able to place in arenas...Drives me crazy. What 2v2 / 3v3 comps do you suggest to rise in rating with as affliction?
Its crazy how much locks can withstand once we get some gear. The difference in fresh vs decent gear is astronomical
Jeah but the warrior is a ape behind the computer.
Yeah we scale very well with gear
I'm a druid, I had a warlock make me unable to run at all. He was the puppetmaster, I was his toy.
Shape shift bro
great vid
we need more videos man keep the great work up
"look at this warrior, he hates his life right now" thats me, affli's fcking me up rn
They have insane mobility indeed. Hence why ruins is ur best bet at catching them. Maps like this are rough XD
Have been waiting since BC for this moment
really love videos like this. a lot to learn with being a new warlock
That 2v1 kiting was sickkkkkkkkkk. Lock mobility w night fae is no joke!
yo chan quick question ... why not bind agony and corruption to mouse wheel up and down? ... you now can move while dotting......
That last fight was awesome lmao
Loved how you didn't give up!!!
what healer do you find best in 2's with afflic? i was leaning towards rdruid but are they too weak rn?
You are the best! keep up the great work!
you planning on making a guide for destro anytime soon? great content :)
wow. impressive. Btw how did you get instant kill when they were at 20% hp ?
the warriors rallying cry fell off so they both lost 20% of their hp
@@Joegengstah damn
He is beating the most broken melee atm proud of u keep it up
what addon is that that tracks their CDs? also is afflic viable with a DPS in 2s?
Omnibar
@@HristoMeshinski dont think so, looks like a weak aura.
Great vid mate.
What addon or WA are you using to show the cooldowns of the enemy on the top middle of your screen?
Hey man, is that omnibar you're using to track interrupts/cds/covenant stuff?
As a warrior this was really informative
OmG thanks god theres no much pvps like you!
This is 200 IQ pvp
Came here for the vid, stayed because of the background song (Visions - Township Rebellion Remix
I actually just rerolled to lock from ret because we all know a nerf is coming for ret. Just wanted to thank you because warriors are smashing my face rn. Im undergeared but still.
Spriest says helloo they own it all
@@SFBay69 already started lvling a priest hahaha, shadow counters legit all my mains. I smash they still but mass dispell is one of the best arena abilities in the game
As a warrior player this is really rage inducing, but I do admit he his playing his cards right against
a warrior so I can't be that mad
The warriors got outplayed multiple times, this is how it should work. With Windwalker monks you can outplay them a million times and they still win on default
@@YourSuzerain the problem with warrior at high level is if you make one mistake your situation get really bad
so what would be your tip for warriors against this
omg legendary^^
@chanimal now if you can do one for kiting Windwalkers that would be absolutely amazing
I can't tell. Is curse of exhaustion the slow? or should I be using something else?
This is the leggo that basically adds CoE's slow effect to your corruption. www.wowhead.com/item=183364/memory-of-sacrolashs-dark-strike
great video! thanks
whats the addon that lets you see the warriors cooldowns?
I think he configured OmniBar for that
Hey do you stream at all? I would love to watch some aff lock gameplay.
www.twitch.tv/chanimaly
man you are so good its absolutely unreal.
Omg inspiring
My warrior has door of shadows and unlimited 15 yard charges with condemn (pvp talent) much harder to kite. Also we can talent 2 charge charges. Might pick that up against aff
Now shows us the real dream, kiting a WW xD
He delivered
in the 2nd match, what chunked the warriors health so hard at the end? It looks like he was a little higher than 1/4 hp and then he just died instantly.
Rallying Cry wore off
What spell did he use to one shot the totem?
Lmao i felt that warriors pain
insane
Could blizzard treat gates as like a wand that can be destroyed. And when destroyed it can be redeployed by casters? That would be more challenging lol.
Thank god you drew attention to how op that legendary is. @blizzard yes this one right here
i played against a DK yesterday, he reacted the same after 2 min kiting and reflect all of his Grip / Stun :(
Legendary
i really want your omni settings :/
Agree
what does he mean with "dampening changes"? What did they change?
Dampening no longer begins at 20% in 2s. Instead, it starts at 0%
@@Chanimal damn
Fellow warriors leaper is there to save our souls
If youre venthyr, door of shadows+ ( death sentence + condemn) makes you absolutely unlikable. Also can talent 2 charges if absolutely necessary
@@hunternewberry5860 if you talent 2 charges you dont have a stun so thats not happening, door of shadows is too long to cast in a burst meta where people die in 0,5 sec and death sentence is going to help y but not too much bc you gon be rage starved

@@hunternewberry5860 It gets interrupted 90% of the time mate, what are you talking about
Bruh that warrior and paladin at the end were the most clueless people I’ve seen lmao
warrior really wasnt giving it his all
most warriors at low rating never think about how they use their mobility, they dismount with charge or heroic leap
Yes please guide vs 2melee
I dont seem to be able to port every spear and get global edge tho wall
The warrior aint using his intervene on his team mate healer, against heavy kiters always position urselves to use max benefit of intervene :D cool vid tho
i don't understand the damages in the last seconds ?
Commanding shout fall off
If you now could make a guide how to kite WW Monks that would be great, thanks a lot :-)
Log out > Create new character =)
@@Chanimal would being a void elf night fae be a counter with the extra blink?
i might level warlock this seems fun haha
Actually legendary
this is tilting just to watch

I have pillars of dark portal legy to make melee even mote mad
Giving him AIDs?
Make me want to re sub just to play afflic! It finally looks strong again!!
Unless you get one shot by rogue,ww
@@divinghero9776 well I’ll still learn and adapt
... this makes me really really hate night fae even more though.
Why? Everyone has infinite mobility. Now warlocks finally have that too. They still suck at everything else comparatively

fucking god!
Guy never presses hamstring lmao.
at 7:36 both the pally and the warr lost like 25% at the same time, wtf was that
I guess they both dispelled UA. warrior with flask but I'm not sure if flask triggers the UA debuff tho. I'd also like some explanation if someone knows
@@katsumoto9143 Rallying Cry fell off
Seeing this as a warrior main makes me wanna abuse the copyright system on youtube and take this video down asap
Or just use door of shadows
18 warriors did not have a good time
And here I am trying to make demo work, with shitty pet survivability, insane ramp ups etc. This aff legendary needs to go away but not before making the class actually viable and nerfing cleaves, this is just downright horrible design.

As Venthyr I'm literally unkiteable so I don't care :D
if they are full hp you just charge them from 15 yard :) the problem is that you run out of rage really fast
You really don't run out of rage. It refunds rage if they don't die. And if you are being kited you are probably taking damage and that generates rage. Only time you're rage starved is if you are getting kited and not being hit at all
Aff is trash without healers tho, one school and MUST play Night Fae and with healer.
I think you even feel bad about how pathetic this class mathchup is. Warlocks have been the most annoying class to deal with since 2004
gitgud
I mean you're just putting corruption up lol. The fact any legendaries work in arena is extremely bad game design . No reason they should be allowed.
Uhhhhhh
Mate , the warrior was an idiot , no need to try and touch a target , he was better off setting on your healer or even stalling for demp
Also 2v2 lmao
If warlock free-cast they melt fast ...
