Affliction

Affliction spells are spells that hit for a bit of damage and apply a DoT effect to the target that ticks 12 times.

With the Affinity talent, all Affliction spells also apply a Weakness debuff to the enemy that can stack twice on every enemy and increases damage from all sources by 5% per stack.

Affliction DoTs can stack up to three times and are shared between all mages. Weakness debuffs are shared between mages and scoundrels (flint card).
