Affliction 0
Improved Life TapRank 0/2
Moved Moved from tier 2 to tier 1. At 2/2 it adds 20% to the mana Life Tap gives, and the leveling order takes it for the mana.SuppressionRank 0/5
Changed Reworked: +5% hit and −20% threat at 5/5. The Affliction answer to DoTs pulling mobs off the Voidwalker.Improved CorruptionRank 0/5
Changed The client lists this as changed. At 5/5 Corruption is instant (2 seconds off its cast) and does 10% more damage; the damage part is the addition. Every Affliction build and the leveling order take it.Grim ReachRank 0/2
Requires 5 points in Affliction Talents
Moved Replaced Malediction (live in beta). Blizzard's deep dive had listed Grim Reach among the removed Affliction talents and Malediction as new; a later build reversed that. At 2/2 it adds 20% range to your Affliction spells (10/20%). Affliction loses Malediction's damage; the five points it took went into Soul Harvest, Improved Life Tap and Grim Reach (leveling) and Improved Bane of Agony, Amplify Curse and Improved Drains elsewhere in the tree.Soul HarvestRank 0/2

Requires 10 points in Affliction Talents
New New: +33/67/100% crit damage bonus on Corruption, the Banes, the drains, Siphon Life and Wrack. DoTs can crit in Forever, so this is the tree's biggest damage talent.MalevolenceRank 0/5

Requires 15 points in Affliction Talents

Requires 5 points in Demonology Talents

New New. The branded attacks also deal extra Fire or Shadow damage (about 1.5 x (level - 26) + 14-17, plus 7.8% of Shadow spell power); the threat part is the point. "If Shadow damage is dealt, it has high threat." So the Voidwalker gets the threat and the Imp does not.Improved FelhunterRank 0/3

Your Demonic Sacrifice effect is no longer cancelled by summoning a different Demon pet. Resummoning the sacrificed pet will still cancel the effect.
New New capstone. Blizzard built Master Demonologist's bonuses to be the opposite of Demonic Sacrifice's, so with Demonic Pact you sacrifice one demon and summon another to stack both. Resummoning the sacrificed demon still cancels it.
