Below you will find two build choices – one that relies heavily on having a higher Spell Critical Strike chance, while the other is considered the standard raiding build.

Early on, you can relocate points from Fel Concentration into Suppression if you need the Spell Hit Rating. It is important to note that Suppression only affects your Affliction spells, so Shadow Bolt will not be affected by this talent.

Since you will likely have your Imp summoned the majority of the time for Blood Pact, placing some points into Improved Imp is always beneficial.

This particular build relies on your Spell Critical Strike chance being relatively high to benefit the most from Ruin.

Similar to the build above, we will likely have our Imp summoned the majority of the time for Blood Pact, so having Improved Imp remains a bonus. However, if you wish, you can reallocate the two talents points in Improved Imp and place them into Contagion to reach 5/5.
