How the Affliction Warlock guide is built

Where the data comes from

This Affliction Warlock Mythic+ guide is built from real keystone run logs uploaded to Warcraft Logs across the current dungeon pool, enriched with character data from the official Blizzard API. The talents, gear, item levels, and stat priorities shown here reflect how Affliction Warlock players actually perform inside the dungeons, while the pick rate shows how often the spec appears in those logs. Extreme outlier parses are capped so a few standout runs cannot skew the numbers.

How tiers are assigned

The Mythic+ tier shown for Affliction Warlock comes from two factors. Performance compares its average damage against the highest damage spec among Mythic+ damage dealers, and popularity compares its Mythic+ pick rate against an even share across all damage specs. Strong damage with real representation earns S or A, while weaker output or low usage moves it down through B and C to D.

This Affliction Warlock Mythic+ placement is a snapshot of the current tier and shifts with patches, class tuning, affixes, and sample size. Use the guide as a starting point and adapt the build to your key and route.
