This spell is pretty useless other than just for healing while questing, or if you're about to die.

Can you clarify? If you're using Servitude, Doomguard is your permanent pet, so I'm confused what "every 3 minutes" has anything to do with your rotation. Generally speaking though, Sacrifice and Service are even in the prepatch depending on the encounter, while Servitude trails noticeably behind.

Yes sorry I meant service. In service you get the 3 min cool down doomguard and 1.5 min imp. I was wondering if service was better than sacrifice but also wondering if you go service is it worth bringing out the doomguard every cool down.  All these pets cost shards now and was wondering how much dps they do vs just focusing mostly on pumping out chaos bolts.

I am looking at this guide, and many other forum posts, and I think that Channel Demonfire ought to be evaluated as a single target attack, not an AOE. I don't think it's intended as an AOE spell. It's a single target attack, or maybe a cleave with good timing of Havoc possibly?. If all 15 bolts hit one target, it will do a lot of damage to that target. It may be worth more than Wreak Havoc on some fights. It means controlling the cast so there are not a ton of immolates out at that time, but it would be interesting to test it.

Yeah Doomguard and Grimoire: Imp are definitely worth their shard costs.

It is evaluated that way. The reason I phrase it as such in the guide is because a ton of people get the misconception that it outscales Wreak on AoE for some reason, even though the number of bolts is fixed.

I am just wondering how you came up with the opener since no matter how many times i try this, being absolutely at 40 yards from the training dummy I ninja pull on 1 every time without fail if i try and double precast incinerate on 5, Are you sure there is no typo here?

Hitboxes are much smaller on training dummies.

Whats the opinion on a high roll on Coagulated Genesaur Blood compared to the sandman's pouch now that it offers crit instead of multistrike?

Much worse because it is RPPM.

Is a Normal Fragment of the Dark Star decent at this time? Assuming that I lack access to more than one of the other trinkets listed and have a haste based empowered baleful trinket as my alternative.

Also are you sure that backdraft is not worth taking? I've been using it w/Havoc and Soul Conduit to get strings (2-3, 4 once) of chaos bolts off on both targets, and by doing so, maximize cleave when necessary without giving up soul conduit. (I also dislike the feel of Roaring Blaze, but that is more of a play-style preference)

After the roaring blaze nerf I think it's unlikely for Destruction to still be best at 110, but we'll wait and see.

Have to wait and see! This has definitely affected the 110 balance, but with Destruction already being fairly weak in the pre-patch it's not like it could really fall much lower on live.

Furty, thanks for your insights,

may I ask what spec will u be playing as main in Legion (if decided)? Im pointing my question to artifact weapon choice. Since the difference between "main" spec art. wep. and the "second spec." one, in term of power, should be ~20% (as catch up), it might not be such as important, but still gathering info.

Thanks a lot mate

Undecided, probably Affliction after this nerf.

Hey Furty,

Thanks for all of your work :)
What do you think about the "Roaring Blaze" nerf? is it still THE talent although it got nerfed? or is now backdraft better?

Thanks a lot

What does "Pre-cast" imply? It sounds a little weird to me at "5-second mark" doesn't that mean that you pull the boss? Can you put it in other words that explain what Pre-cast does?

By pre-cast, he means that you stand at the MAXIMUM range from the boss that you can be, and using some type of pull timer set by your tanks (dbm or whatever) you chug your intellect pot at 6, then start casting your incinerate at 5-4 seconds, cast a second one, and by the time that is done, the timer should be over and your tank should have pulled, allowing you to continue with your instant hit abilities such as immolate and conflag. The travel time of the incinerate at max range is long enough to land right after your tank pulls. if the tank waits a few seconds until after the countdown ends to pull and you aggro first, it is the tank's fault for screwing up the pull knowing full well that any good ranged dps will start the fight by precasting an ability.

So I've played Warlock for as long as i can possibly remember... down to 7 year old me way back in vanilla... But all warlock specs right now seem like they're in the worst condition they've ever been in. Destro is ridiculously boring and doesn't feel rewarding to play at all. Demonology is gcd locked in a bad way and also requires offgame addons to play efficiently/competitively at all in raiding... and Affliction is literally just waiting around and occasionally refreshing dots. I haven't had access to the beta at all, but it seems like it doesn't get much better at all with artifacts and legendaries. I really would like to keep playing my main but it just feels extremely lackluster. Anyone else have any input on where this class is going/how fun it is going to be in legion?

 

Edit: I know I should probably wait until legion to decide how I feel about demonology... because the rotation right now is nothing short of complete cancer and pretty much ruins the enjoyability of the spec altogether. But aoe is still an issue.

I have a question about chaos bolt usage. Shouldn't you wait until you have 5 shards to use it every time so you can use Chaos bolt on the Eradicated target more often? If I always spam Chaos Bolt, the debuff drops faster than I get another 2 shards.

      War Within Alpha should be just around the corner! When do we expect the latest expansion testing to start?
      If you've been keeping an eye on the World of Warcraft 2024 roadmap, you're likely excited about what's coming up! According to the roadmap, the War Within Alpha is expected to kick off sometime after Patch 10.2.6, which was released two weeks ago, and before the beginning of Season 4.

      Typically, a season lasts 22 weeks. Right now, we're in the 20th week of Season 3, with just about two weeks left. Let's break down the hypothetical timeline:
      Season 3 Week 20: Week of March 26 Season 3 Week 21: Week of April 2 Season 3 Week 22: Week of April 9 Season 4 Week 1: Week of April 15 This schedule suggests that the War Within Alpha could potentially launch as early as next week or during the week of April 9.
      The most recent news from the War Within camp came on March 27, when Blizzard rolled out a fresh encrypted internal build on the WoW Dev CDN. The internal builds are becoming more and more frequent which indicates Blizzard's ramping up to start testing in the very near future.
      Placeholder for tweet 1772901807448052151 In the meantime, we encourage you to check out everything coming in the War Within pre-patch that will release 1 month before the actual expansion.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.
      (Source)
      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale
