Destruction Warlock 6.2

Recommended Posts

From the patch notes today in hotfix:

Does this change anything in stat priority? Also wondering when RoF will be useful to cast as casting for 1 target sounds like a waste now.
 

 

I'm assuming that with the latest changes to Destro, the hugely nerfed RoF is no longer part of the single target rotation?

I'm updating the guide and removing Rain of Fire from the single-target priority. The hotfix also had some impact on Tier 6 talents, because without Rain of Fire, Mannoroth's Fury is not really worth it anymore, and on the multiple-target rotation, because you now need a lot of adds to make it worth it to use Rain of Fire. The changes will be live soon on the site, I'm just going through all the comments on my class guides and making all the necessary changes before deploying everything.

 

 

Does the changes in the hotfix today change our stat priority at all?

It does not seem so.

 

 

hey i was just wondering if u had the numbers for the stat priority to plug into ask mr robot the linkl isent working for me thanks

Warlock_Destruction_T17H Int=5.33(0.07) SP=0.00(0.00) Crit=2.90(0.07) Haste=2.32(0.07) Mastery=2.65(0.07) Mult=2.37(0.07) Vers=2.28(0.07) Speed=0.00(0.00) Avoidance=0.00(0.00)

Try this, it should be fairly accurate.

hi there,

 

first, great guide! I like your work. Keep it up!

now my question is: does hits from multistrike generate embers for us? like if I cast an incinerate and it multistrikes, neither crits, do we get 2 ember bits? or just 1?

 

thank you

As fas as I know, Multistrikes don't generate Burning Embers.

I'm confused about whether to cast shadowburn or chaos bolt if I have dark soul up, and the target is at 20% or below. Is Shadowburn always priority?

 

Thanks for your guide, I found it very helpful.

Curious if the shattered hand weapon enchant works on all weapons, tooltip says melee weapon?

"Mastery increases the damage of your Burning Ember consuming spells by a large amount, through wow_icon_spell_fire_moltenblood.jpgMastery: Emberstorm. For fights with multiple targets, you get a high amount of Burning Embers through wow_icon_spell_shadow_rainoffire.jpgRain of Fire."

Rain of Fire no longer generates embers. Is it still worth casting single target?

 

It is not.

Yes, it should.

It works for casters.

Currently, wow_icon_warlock_grimoireofcommand.jpg Grimoire of Supremacy is recommended for all single-target situations and high-movement situations. wow_icon_warlock_grimoireofsacrifice.jpg Grimoire of Sacrifice should be taken for multiple-target situations, unless you have wow_icon_spell_warlock_demonicservitude. Demonic Servitude talent (in which case, you simply stick to Grimoire of Sacrifice).

 

This doesn't make sense (well, the second part doesn't). A typo perhaps? I would have thought with  wow_icon_spell_warlock_demonicservitude. Demonic Servitude  you'd want wow_icon_warlock_grimoireofcommand.jpg Grimoire of Supremacy not wow_icon_warlock_grimoireofsacrifice.jpg Grimoire of Sacrifice ?

Crit and Mastery are very close in value. The difference between gemming for crit, or for mastery, won't impact your dps greatly. I'm using mastery gems because I had them before the patch, and I didn't see a point in paying 1.5k to switch all of my gems on the gear I'll be replacing in two weeks smile.png.

 

I'd recommend keeping crit and mastery relatively close to each other, but if you're a beginner player, crit is much more forgiving if you make mistakes.

hi

im guessing that you are saying to keep crit and mast relatively close in rating and NOT in percent. correct? as of 1/3/2015?

When I ran SimulationCraft for my warlock I got some different stat weights than this guide suggests, specifically these are the rankings I god:

 

int>SP>crit>multistrike>haste~=mastery~=versatility

 

Or more specifically the item weights where listed as follows:

 

item_weight.jpg

 

Is the guide off or am I off somewhere and probably using SimCraft wrong?

Question on the stat weights, when I run simulationcraft I get a lot different stats than what is listed so far, specifically:

 

item_weight.jpg

 

Can anyone point me to where I may be going wrong? Or if the numbers are right and the guide off?

my stat weight looks exactly the same, so the stat priority seems to be right

I realize I am old and slightly retarded. Could someone please just tell me to throw this in this order for single target encounters? Whatever it is, not once you get something below 20%, how about how do I open up with what spell and then through an entire rotation on a fresh encounter. Please remember not everyone is bright. Thanks

 

Respectfully,

 

Forrest

I believe, everything should be covered in the guides.

If something is unclear, I'd suggest you posting your questions to https://www.icy-veins.com/forums/forum/27-warlock/our amazing warlock community. :)

I would like a rework of stat priorities for destro, as it does not appear that this expansion allows embers to be gained from Rain of Fire during this expansion. An explanation for mastery as the main priority is that RoF gives embers. Since it doesn't anymore, that might change things.

Icy Veins is recommending a mastery build for Destruction Warlocks in 6.1.  Mr. Robot is recommending a Critical Strike build.  Which is it guys/gals? (ref. GoSac/AD/CR)

Rain of Fire hasn't given Burning Embers since November 25th, so that needs to be changed ASAP. Seriously, it's been over 3 months now.

 

On the side, Master is still best. It's not explained in the guide, it's in the change-log at the bottom of the page: "Since wow_icon_warlock_charredremains.jpgCharred Remains is now the best talent for single-target, Destruction Warlocks favor Mastery for single-target. Mastery was already the best stat for AoE, which makes Mastery the best stat overall for Destruction Warlock."

The guide says "use wow_icon_ability_warlock_baneofhavoc.jpgHavoc on wow_icon_ability_warlock_chaosbolt.jpgChaos Bolt (if no target is below 20% health) or wow_icon_spell_shadow_scourgebuild.jpgShadowburn (if there is a target below 20% health);".

 

I guess both, the target of havoc and the target of shadowburn, must be below 20% health. Or does it alsow work if target of havoc is above 205?

      Protect the Researchers Under Fire Loot a Secured Shipment (Suffusion Camp) Complete a Time Rift Amirdrassil Quest

      Today's hotfixes are still very Plunderstorm-heavy, but we do get fixes for more achievement-related mount issues and PvP catch-up, in addition to the limited time event's adjustments.
      March 27 (Source)
      Achievements
      Fixed bugs causing mounts related to A World Awoken to be unavailable, including Bestowed Ottuk Vanguard, Bestowed Trawling Mammoth, Bestowed Thunderspine Packleader, Bestowed Sandskimmer, Bestowed Ohuna Spotter, Coralscale Salamanther, Stormtouched Bruffalon, and Taivan. Player versus Player
      Fixed an issue that prevented Splintered Sparks of Dreams from dropping from PvP sources while eligible for catch-up. Plunderstorm
      The Storm’s fury swells! Lightning strikes during the final stage of the Storm are faster and more dangerous than before. There is now a delay of 20 seconds after being revived where players no longer drop collected Plunder. Additional enemies now spawn at Witherbark Village, the wild area northeast of Go’Shek Farm, and the wild area between Witherbark Village and Boulderfist Hall. Fixed an issue where swapping back to default sword and gun appearances were not saving correctly. Fixed an issue so that now, picking up an additional rank 2 spell while the same rank 2 spell is equipped properly grants the rank 4 version of the spell. The Captain’s Orders quest “X Marks the Spot” now requires 1 item to be picked up (was 2 items).
