Also searched as Aff Lock.
This page breaks down the hero talents used by top Affliction Warlocks on WarcraftLogs parses, per boss and per dungeon type. We looked at 108 parses and found 69 distinct talent builds. The table shows which hero talent each top parse used, with a usage figure for each. Soul Harvester dominates overall at 92.3% of parses, while Hellcaller appears on 7.7%. In raid encounters, Soul Harvester is the top pick for bosses like Nek'zali the Soulcoiler and Vashnik the Malignant, but Hellcaller leads on Entombed Sentinels, The Lost Explorers, Sszorak, and The Coiled Altar.
For Mythic+ (both high keys and farm), Soul Harvester is the top talent on every listed dungeon, including Ruby Life Pools and King's Rest. When reading the table, note that the 'builds listed' figure is the number of distinct talent builds we recorded for that encounter, not a ranking of build strength.
