Client data and build assumptions

Client-table preview: positions, rank caps and spell IDs are checked against build 1.60.1.69913. These readable tables may retain legacy layout. Five points per tier, full-rank prerequisites and the 11-point Level 20 budget are planning assumptions, not proof of final live Beta rules. Missing rank text stays unknown.

Damage over time and sustained solo play

Improved Corruption opens the route. Improved Life Tap and three Soul Siphon ranks follow before Amplify Curse becomes the final point.
Compare full pull-and-recovery cycles with the same demon and target level.

Leveling with Affliction

Choose targets that live long enough to compare the sustained spell cycle. Record recovery as well as kill time, particularly when health and mana costs change the next pull.

A short-lived enemy may not reveal the value of a sustained route. This allocation gives up the early Demonology pet package.

Level 10–20 progression

Improved Corruption 5 → Improved Life Tap 2 → Soul Siphon 3 → Amplify Curse 1

Follow the allocation in order rather than buying the endpoint first. The table-based planner checks the earlier investment before allowing deeper nodes.

Before switching routes

Compare full pull-and-recovery cycles with the same demon and target level.

Save the baseline link and change only the variable you want to compare. Keep equipment, target level and recovery conditions in your notes so a talent change is not credited for an unrelated improvement.
