Stat Priority
Stat Breakdown
Skill Capped recommends the following stat priority for Affliction Warlock PvP:
Intellect is the most important stat by far as it directly scales all your damage. After Intellect, you MUST reach 6% Hit so your spells don't miss - this is non-negotiable. Then stack as much Haste as possible. Haste adds fluidity to your rotation and is crucial for damage. After Haste, there's a massive dropoff. Mastery is next in line. Critical Strike is by far your least important stat - avoid it where possible.
Best in Slot Gear
Full Tyrannical Gladiator Felweave gear is best in slot for Season 13. Human players wear double damage trinkets for snapshotting. Orc players wear Medallion + Insignia to snapshot with Blood Fury.
