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.

      Timewalking (Source)
      Hello!
      Earlier this evening, we rolled out a fix-up for players who opened their Timewalking dungeon / Raid cache before 2:30 p.m. PDT today. Affected players have received an in-game mail with the cache replacement.
      Players who opened their cache after 2:30 p.m. PDT today should find that they received the intended reward(s).
      Thank you!

      Blizzard have clarified why players are able to get a full Spark of Awakening through the two available Splinters in the first week of Dragonflight Season 4, and it seems it's only for this week and only due to catch-up rules being enabled! 
      Splintered Spark (Source)
      Just want to confirm this with some details.
      Everyone essentially started Season 4 in catch-up mode. Players were able to get 1 Splintered Spark of Awakening from the weekly quest, whether that’s the weekly “Last Hurrah” quest or the PvP weeklies offered by Malicia.
      And then you’re able to get another splinter / half-spark from any valid catch-up sources, such as Mythic+, Awakened Raids, and PvP wins.
      Next week and thereafter, only one Splintered Spark is obtainable every week. And like Seasons 2 and 3, with the increasing cap on Splintered Sparks per week, and if you ever fall behind you will be able to get Splintered Sparks from any catch-up source.

      It seems there may be an easier way to obtain the Tusks of Mannoroth appearance during the Mists of Pandaria Remix event! 
      The tusks are one of the rarest transmogs in the game currently, even with the recently added Siege of Orgrimmar skip, as their drop rates are VERY low (0.1-0.3%, reportedly). As spotted by MrGM, the new Tusks of Mannoroth are a cosmetic appearance item added in the new limited time event. Now, some have suggested they may just be purchasable from the Bronze vendor (the currency that will drop off of pretty much anything in the event), making them pretty easy to get, but it seems there might be a different way to get them. 
      It's unclear whether the cosmetic will actually be purchasable or if it will drop somewhere else, but another interesting Mannoroth-related item was added as well, the Bones of Mannoroth, which may be related to the cosmetic.

      As you can see the bones are a stackable resource you gain from killing Garrosh, and it's looking like they're a way to guarantee the Tusk appearance with enough kills! Just how many drop is unclear, but assuming you need all 20 for the appearance and that Normal drops 1, Heroic 2 and Mythic 3 bones, it may take at least 7 weeks to get them. Now the number required might be/is likely to be lower than the 20  stack maximum, and we may get more bones per kill.
      But even at 7 weeks it's much, much easier to get than the current "hope for 0.3%" in retail, so it's still a pretty good deal! This may or may not upset players that farmed for the tusks for a long time the regular way, but there's a whole lot players that will be thrilled!
      The Remix: Mists of Pandaria event starts on May 16th and should last until August 19th.

      If you plan on buying the physical War Within Collector's Edition and live in Europe, you're going to have a bad time!
      Blizzard has ceased distributing WoW Collector's Editions through retailers with the release of Dragonflight, making the Blizzard Store the only place to buy them. However, the shipping costs could be a dealbreaker for many collectors eager to acquire the latest edition for the upcoming expansion.
      Reddit user katamai from Serbia posted a screenshot of their order, revealing that the shipping fees exceed the cost of the box itself—280 Euros for shipping compared to 200 Euros for the box, totaling 480 Euros.

      Additionally, Emi, a follower on our Facebook page, reported a shipping cost of 99 Euros to Romania, nearly ten times what it costs to ship to the UK.

      A practical workaround might be to order the Collector's Edition to a UK address and then use a shipping service to forward it to your address in Europe, potentially saving a considerable amount of money.
      How much does it cost to ship the box to your country?
