Counterplay
Open cheat sheetUnstable Affliction lockout from a panicked dispel, plus Fear isolating the kill. The damage looks small until Haunt and Soul Rot overlap.
Kick
Kick Fear first. If Fear is down, kick Haunt or Soul Rot during their go. Do not spend the kick on Haunt while Fear is coming.
Watch for
Unstable Affliction on your healer is the trap — do not dispel it. Fear on the peeler as Haunt and Soul Rot start is the kill. Dark Pact covers the first swap onto the lock.
Biggest mistake
Dispelling Unstable Affliction off your healer, or ignoring the lock to pad damage on their kill target.
