New Venthyr Legendary -

灾祸降临
's damage over time is increased by 75% plus 15% for each enemy hit on the way to its final target.
Venthyr Affliction Warlock Covenant Abilities
Venthyr Warlock Class Ability:
灾祸降临
The Venthyr warlock ability is the undertuned
灾祸降临
. Essentially a one minute AoE nuke, it also leaves behind a DoT on every target affected by the damage. This damage over time does count towards
灾难狂欢
damage, so at least there's some decent potential for aoe burst damage. In addition to the DoT,
灾祸降临
also leaves behind either
虚弱诅咒
or
语言诅咒
.
The curse is "smart" based on the type of mob hit by the damage, so casters will get Tongues, and physical damage dealers will get Weakness.
Venthyr Warlock Signature Ability:
暗影之门
Similar to Night Fae's Soulshape,
暗影之门
is an extremely strong movement ability that helps reduce the mobility problem that warlocks have famously had throughout the years. The only thing making this ability worse than Night Fae's
灵魂变形
is the 1.5 second cast time associated with it, and the bonus movement speed that Night Fae gains afterwards. However, there are a number of passive buffs to
暗影之门
that Venthyr can acquire throughout the soulbind trees. For more information on those buffs, check out the Soulbind section below.
Venthyr Warlock Conduit:
灾难之源
This is actually a relatively good conduit for the damage profile Venthyr affliction warlock has. The only situation I'd call Venthyr affliction good is in mythic+ or mass aoe scenarios, and
灾祸降临
with this conduit doubles down on that.
Affliction Warlock Conduit Guide
Venthyr Exclusive Legendary for Affliction Warlock -
遏制永爆
Similar to the conduit, this legendary again doubles down on Venthyr Affliction Warlock's strength in mass AoE. This is a must take for mythic+ if you happen to be venthyr.
Legendary Interactions for Venthyr Affliction Warlocks
There are no legendary interactions for venthyr specific abilities.
Affliction Warlock Legendary Guide
Best Venthyr Affliction Warlock Soulbinds
Best Venthyr Affliction Warlock Renown 40 Soulbind
According to sims, you would assume off the bat that Theotar the Mad Duke is a better scaling soulbind due to the power of
抚慰阴影
versus Nadjia's
兴奋追猎者
, and in a vacuum that would be true, Unfortunately, due to random movement as well as needed to actually stand in the buff at random times throughout different encounters, I think Nadjia is the safer option. An example tree to follow is listed below.
Best Venthyr Affliction Warlock Renown 80 Soulbind
At 55 Renown, you gain access to
致命缺陷
, which further doubles down on the strength of Thrill Seeker - When the haste buff ends, you gain either a 20% crit or versatility buff for 10 seconds afterwards. These types of procs are incredibly good for affliction, since the relative value of chunks of vers or crit procs are high due to the amount of haste and mastery we stack on gear.
Additionally, as you increase your Renown from 60-80, instead of unlocking new options in the soulbind tree, you'll instead unlock empowerments of the conduit slots you have available, in order from the top down. When a conduit slot is empowered, it essentially increases the power level of your conduits by 2, or 26 itemlevels. Because of this, once you start hitting those levels of Renown, you want to make sure your most important conduits are socketed in the earliest slots on the soulbind tree.
Venthyr Affliction Warlock Covenant Rotation Changes
There really aren't any rotational changes regarding
灾祸降临
. The only major thing you'll want to do is make sure you fit it in right before
召唤黑眼
so you can extend the duration of your
灾祸降临
DoT, enabling it to empower more
灾难狂欢
casts.
Other than that, slam it on cooldown, so that it'll eventually line up with your
黑暗灵魂:哀难
and
召唤黑眼
casts later on down the line.
暗影之门
There's no rotational changes specifically in regards to
暗影之门
- that being said, having this available to you does open you up to more lax positioning in general. Knowing you have an instant blink available to you allows you to plant in more scenarios than you've normally been able to in the past.
Venthyr Affliction Warlock Talent Builds
There are no changes to Affliction Warlock Talent Builds while playing Venthyr.
Venthyr Affliction Warlock Gearing Differences
Similar to previous expansions, warlocks like most other DPS classes prefer raw iLevel upgrades in general over specific secondary stats. While Haste and Mastery are still preferred, the pure raw stat upgrade often edges out the minimal gains you'd get from more properly itemized stats. That being said, it's always worth reminding you that it's always worth simming yourself, something that's incredibly easy with resources such as raidbots nowadays.
Venthyr Affliction Warlock Soulbinds
Venthyr have access to three separate soulbinds - Nadjia, Theotar, and General Draven. These are three separate characters who you'll interact with while completing the Venthyr campaign, as well as just moving throughout the zone. Through the soulbind trees, you'll essentially attune yourself with these three, allowing yourself to gain access to different types of character upgrades - to your base abilities with conduits, and to the covenant abilities through options in the soulbind trees. These trees unlock each week based on certain completion steps, such as your renown with your covenant, and your progression in the covenant campaign. Optimal traits for each soulbind are listed below, but keep in mind that conduits are general going to depend on the type of content you're doing. For more information on conduits, check out the conduit guide.
Shadowlands Conduits
Nadjia has a very strong capstone conduit choice, and a couple of the aforementioned modifiers to
暗影之门
.
兴奋追猎者
is essentially blood of the enemy minor reincarnated. In constant combat, you'll pretty often proc this haste buff, which can be extremely good for affliction warlocks.
混沌代理人
- one of the buffs to
暗影之门
, this disorients enemies in the location where you appear. Useful for scenarios in Mythic+ where you absolutely need a stop for something.
眩目步法
- another buff to
暗影之门
, this gives you a short burst of movement speed after casting it. Unfortunately, in order to get this trait, you'll need to forgo a Potency conduit, something that's unlikely to ever happen.
New for 9.1
致命缺陷
- After Euphoria ends, gain 20% critical strike or versatility (based on which stat you have the most of) for the next 10 seconds.
An example tree to follow on this soulbind is below:
Theotar is yet another solid option in terms of damage and utility. Important traits to mention:
抚慰阴影
- a random proc mastery buff. Because it's random, however, it's a much higher amount of stat compared to the other soulbinds in other covenants (525, compared to 350 from Kyrians' Pelagos, and 200 from Night Fae's Niya.)
For the second and third rows, you'll have a choice between two
暗影之门
modifiers. First, there's
看好脚下!
, along with an Endurance conduit, and next is
从容不迫
, along with a Finesse conduit. The two charges that you gain from
从容不迫
seem infinitely more valuable than the root/snare removal, since warlock has access to that tech already from
恶魔法阵
. On top of this, there's already an Dndurance conduit that's a must-take later on in the soulbind tree, so you shouldn't be worried about missing out on that.
New for 9.1
小队恩惠
- After talking to Theotar in Sinfall, drink tea to gain a stat buff for 4 hours.
An example soulbind tree to follow is below:
General Draven is worthless for DPS players. None of the baseline traits give any DPS increase whatsoever. However, in the case of a extremely difficult damage intake fight, Draven does provide several defensive benefits.
岩石效命
- Think of this as a nice little death deterrent. In long rot fights, there are times where healers are doing just about everything to keep you on the brink of death. In those situations, it'd be awfully nice to just take 10% less damage all of the time.
持续阴霾
- Another modifier for
暗影之门
. This one gives you a small shield after porting, keeping with the defensive theming of Draven.
坚守阵地
- The final trait you'll end up taking as it's locked behind a Potency conduit: yet another defensive trait. If you plant, which warlocks often end up doing, you'll have 10% more stamina.
New for 9.1
战场气息
- Do 1% increased damage and take 1% reduced damage based on nearby enemies, up to 3%.
If you do end up needing to use General Draven for a rot fight, here's a tree to follow.
Double Legendaries for Venthyr Affliction Warlock
Patch 9.2 adds the option of using two legendaries at the same time, with the restriction that one of them is your Covenant legendary. This change empowers Venthyr Affliction Warlock even more. You can learn more about it in our Legendary Guide.
