Description

Raid verdict

Mythic+ Verdict

Descarga debilitadora

Increases either your Drenar alma or Descarga de las Sombras damage by a damage percentage based on the number of DoTs on the target.

Single target gain

Single target gain, bad for aoe

Mirada de corrupción

Agonía and damage have a 3% chance to reduce the cooldown of Invocar miradaoscura by 5 seconds. Unfortunately, Invocar miradaoscura is not that strong of a cooldown at the moment, so the viability of this conduit isn't that great.

Not great

Good, but still not the best

Malignidad enfocada

Éxtasis maléfico deals 15% increased damage to targets suffering from . This doubles down on your focused damage, since the target with on it already is taking damage from , and it has the extra DoT for Éxtasis maléfico's damage bonus in addition to the increased damage from the conduit itself. Pretty much an always-take conduit.

Excellent.

Agonía duradera

Agonía's duration increased by 4 seconds. Ridiculously strong for multi target scenarios, the longer your DoT durations, the less time you're reapplying DoTs, which theoretically means you can spend more time casting damaging spells.

Not great on single target, but fantastic for multi-target fights.

Excellent.

Mythic+ Verdict

Kyrian

Diezmo de alma

Increases your Éxtasis maléfico damage by 10% for 10 seconds after a target afflicted by your Diezmo asolador dies. Interesting choice for multi target scenarios where small mobs will be dying constantly. You'll be able to quickly top off your soul shards whenever you cast Diezmo asolador on a target that's about to die, allowing for more Éxtasis maléfico spam, buffed by this conduit.

Useless on single target, but great potential for AoE fights like Sun King's Salvation.

Great potential.

Necrolord

Exterminio fatal

Increases the damage of your Descarga exterminadora's bolts. Not very strong, as the strength of Descarga exterminadora is not based in the damage it does, but the buff it applies to your Drenar alma.

Minimal DPS gain.

Night Fae

Comealmas

Increases the damage and radius of Putrefacción de alma. While an interesting option, the baseline Affliction conduits just seem stronger in more scenarios. Barring buffs, you likely won't be taking this conduit.

Minimal DPS gain.

Venthyr

Origen catastrófico

Increases the damage over time and curse duration by a decent amount. Unfortunately, Catástrofe inminente is pretty undertuned and the damage increases provided by this conduit don't really compete with the baseline affliction potency conduits.

Minimal DPS gain.

Best Raiding and M+ Potency Conduits for Affliction Warlocks

Always take Malignidad enfocada. It's pretty much the strongest in every scenario, outside of just raw overall AoE damage.

For pure single target fights, take Descarga debilitadora. For multi-target fights, take Agonía duradera.

Unfortunately, Mirada de corrupción and the Covenant-specific conduits just don't match up to the above 3. Stick to those for all content.

Raid verdict

Mythic+ Verdict

Vitalidad acumulada

Drenar vida heals for 44.0% of the amount drained over 10 sec.

Decent extra healing.

Sangrita diabólica

Anyone that consumes your Piedra de salud infuses you with 10.0% leech for 6 sec. This is, in my opinion, the strongest of the current Endurance conduits. Similar to the famous "healthstone for me" weapon trait from Legion, Anyone in your raid can use a healthstone, and give you a significant leech buff for 6 seconds.

Fantastic

Barrera resuelta

Attacks received that deal at least 5% of your health decrease Resolución inagotable's cooldown by 10 sec. Cannot occur more than once every 30 sec. At early ranks, this looks pretty useless. 10 seconds off of your 3 minute wall is not something you'd want. however, at the max rank... 2 minutes and 20 seconds off of a 3 minute cooldown looks pretty overpowered. We'll see what it looks like later on in the expansion.

Potential

Best Endurance Conduits for Affliction Warlocks for Raids/Mythic+

Sangrita diabólica seems too good to pass on. Having 10% leech at rank 1, scaling up to 20%+ later on the expansion every time someone healthstones is a ridiculous amount of self healing without any downsides.

Barrera resuelta and Drenar vida seem like a general toss up. While the former might scale into absurdity later on the expansion (Imagine having wall available every 40 seconds), Drenar vida giving a bit of extra healing when you're desperate enough to press it seems worthwhile to take early on.

Best Finesse Conduits for Affliction Warlock

Raid verdict

Mythic+ Verdict

Inercia demoníaca

Círculo demoníaco: Teletransporte increases movement speed by 30% for 5 sec. Useful in scenarios where you'll need a random movement speed increase and have the spare global to hit your portal.

Depends on situation.

Celeridad vil

In a world where pet summons are 5-6 seconds depending on your haste, being able to cast an instant, free pet every now and then is useful.

Probably the only actual good finesse conduit.

Sombra del Terror

Your Miedo effects can withstand 100% more damage before breaking. This is more or less a flavor spell for PvE players.

Has some weird use cases, such as on the vulpin on mistcaller in Mists of Tirna Scithe. You can fear it to deter your team from having to deal with the fixate, while still multidotting it for single target funnel on the boss.

Astucia de Kilrogg

Your Ojo de Kilrogg is no longer stealthed and can now place your Círculo demoníaco. The casting Warlock must be within line of sight of the Ojo de Kilrogg to place the Círculo demoníaco.
In addition, the movement speed of your Eye of Kilrogg is increased by 50%. A return of the minor glyphs from past expansions, this can be useful for placing portals far away. Very rarely taken.

Literally has no real use case other than weird RP scenarios.

Comentario de Drathe

2 important questions about Diabolic Bloodstone:

How does it stack/does it stack at all? If multiple people all use Healthstones inside the duration, do you get a ton of Leech, does it refresh or extend the duration, or does it do nothing at all?

Secondly, and far more important, is it actually specifically *YOUR* healthstones? Is the power of it massively nerfed in a group with more than one Warlock?

Comentario de tr0tsky0

Resolute Barrier's cooldown reduction doesn't increase with ilvl, the time before it can proc again reduces. It's once every 29 secs at ilvl 158.

Comentario de tekert

"Your Fear effects can withstand 100% more damage before breaking. This is more or less a flavor spell for PvE players. Im not sure of its applications in PvP."
Cmon, its the best talent ever for pvp or general soloing content, flavor only in pve instances but supreme otherwise.
