Affliction is a minion skill that can only target your own minions. Affected minions take physical damage over time while giving you life regeneration and explode when below 20% life.
This is one of the three mutually exclusive skills that can be acquired from selecting the Black Mass skill on the Warlock of the Mists Wildwood ascendancy class in the Affliction league.
Mechanics
Affliction is a minion skill that permanently Afflicts any of your damageable minions in a targeted area, causing them to take physical damage over time, at an accelerating rate. Afflicted does not stack and cannot be removed or refreshed[confirmation needed]. Minions that are Afflicted cause the caster of the curse to regenerate life at a rate based on the Affliction's damage over time. Afflicted minions explode when reduced to below 20% of maximum life.
It is not possible to trigger both the explosion from Affliction and 
Minion Instability simultaneously through damage over time as Minion Instability will proc first; minions must have their life lowered not Low Life (typically >50%) to <20%, requiring over 30% of maximum life to be removed at once, such as
