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

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?

You should try asking for help in the Warlock subsections. :)

      Blizzard has added Glyph of Jab for Monks in the War Within, making Tiger Palm strike your target with your equipped weapon!
      We've got some great news for all Monk players out there. In the War Within expansion, Blizzard has added Glyph of Jab that makes Tiger Palm strike your target with your equipped weapon, instead of your fists.

      In the past, Glyph of Jab was a minor glyph used by monks, designed to ensure that the Jab ability was executed with hands and fist animations even when non-fist weapons were equipped. You will find more details here.

      We've looked at the number of chapters of the War Within level-up campaign and compared it to Dragonflight.
      War Within Level Up Campaign
      The level-up campaign in each zone consists of 3 chapters, so you will end up with a total of 12 level-up chapters in the new expansion. You will spend roughly an hour completing the main storyline in each zone.

      Isle of Dorn (Zone 1 Level Up Questing)
      Chapter 1: Breaking Point Chapter 2: Earthen Fissures Chapter 3: The First Blow The Ringing Deeps (Zone 2 Level Up Questing)
      Chapter 1: By Candlelight Chapter 2: Dark Revelations Chapter 3: The Monster and the Machine The Hallowfall Arathi (Zone 3 Level Up Questing)
      Chapter 1: The Guiding Start Chapter 2: Gathering Shadows Chapter 3: Hope in Solidarity  Azj-Kahet (Zone 5 Level Up Questing)
      Chapter 1: Friends in the Dark Chapter 2: Unraveling the Trapped Chapter 3: Plans within Plans Dragonflight Campaign Chapters
      When we compare War Within level up chapter numbers with Dragonflight zones, the expansion shipped with a total of 15 level-up chapters spread across 4 zones:
      Waking Shores had 5 campaign chapters. Ohn'ahran Plains shipped with 4 campaign chapters. Azure Span had 4 campaign chapters. Thaldraszus shipped with 3 campaign chapters. Max-Level Campaign
      The War Within (Max Level Questing) consists of 4 chapters. The fourth campaign name is unknown at this time and Blizzard will most likely hotfix it.

      Blizzard have shared this week's Rogue changes, as well as plans for future adjustments to Fatebound and Trickster Hero trees.
      (Source)
      Greetings Rogues,
      This week’s Alpha build includes many changes to Class and Spec talent trees, including a handful of positional swaps, tuning changes, and a few new and redesigned talents.
      Feedback about these changes is welcome, so please post here with any notable experiences or opinions from your play in the Alpha test.
      More change will be coming over the next few weeks, focused primarily on hero talents. Deathstalker is still lurking in the shadows and will be revealed when it’s ready (sometime in the next few weeks).
      For Fatebound, more completed talents will be rolling in over time, and we have also been following gameplay and written feedback which will be cause for iterations to existing talents.
      For Trickster, we’ve been following all of your feedback, and it has generated significant internal discussion. While the core pieces will remain in place (Unseen Blade, the Fazed debuff, and a grand finish in Coup de Grace), we expect to revisit the gameplay that fuels this engine, and most notably move away from Feint being a primary applicator of Unseen Blade. Unexpected randomly-timed procs of Unseen Blade have also proven to cause trouble and are being similarly reconsidered, in addition to minor updates for other talents.
      Thank you to those who have played the Alpha and spent the time to share experiences and opinions so far. Keep it coming!
      And here are this week's changes:
      (Source)
      ROGUE New Talent: Shadowheart – Leech increased by 3% while Stealthed. Acrobatic Strikes has been redesigned – Auto-attacks increase auto-attack damage and movement speed by 1% for 3 seconds, stacking up to 10%. Developer’s note: Acrobatic Strikes no longer increases the range of melee attacks. We are revisiting increased melee range talents across the game, and most are being removed. Default melee range has increased since these talents were originally created, allowing specs with increased range to attack from well outside where it appears they should be able to. Cut to the Chase moved from Assassination talent tree to baseline all specs, triggering from Envenom/Dispatch/Eviscerate. Vanish’s guaranteed stealth duration now 1.5 seconds in PvP combat (base 3 seconds). Tight Spender now reduces Energy cost of finishing moves by 6% (was 10%). Subterfuge is now a 2-point talent, effect duration 3/6 seconds. Some talents have moved locations. Without a Trace moved from Subtlety to Class tree in capstone location, replacing Shadow Dance. Nightstalker has been removed. Assassination New Talent: Rapid Injection – Envenom deals 10% increased damage while Envenom’s effect is active. Serrated Bone Spike has been redesigned – (Passive) Prepare a Serrated Bone Spike every 30 seconds, stacking up to 3. Rupture spends a stack to embed a bone spike in its target: Deals Physical damage and Bleed damage every 3 seconds until the target dies or leaves combat. Refunds a stack when the target dies. Generates 1 combo point plus 1 additional per active bone spike. Serrated Bone Spike initial damage reduced by 24% and damage over time damage reduced by 9%. Improved Garrote effect duration increased to 6 seconds (was 3 seconds). Indiscriminate Carnage effect duration reduced to 6 seconds (was 10 seconds). Kingsbane damage bonus per poison application now has a stated cap at 1000% from 50 stacks (was 1980% at 99 stacks). Kingsbane base damage over time increased by 6%. Developer’s note: Kingsbane was originally intended to be uncapped, but abilities and talents introduced in the Dragonflight expansion allowed players to reach its previously-unreachable hidden cap. Increasing or removing the cap in the current environment would reinforce poor gameplay outcomes and continue to constrain talent options, so a lower cap is being introduced with the intention of having Kingsbane remain a valuable component of any build that includes it, but not by being required as every build’s all-important main character. Sepsis has been removed. Outlaw Ace Up Your Sleeve now grants 4 combo points when triggered (was 5). Mastery: Main Gauche damage increased by 24%. Adrenaline Rush has been updated: No longer increases global cooldown recovery rate by 25% while active. Now increases global cooldown recovery rate equal to your Haste while active, up to 25%. Now increases Energy regeneration by 50% (was 60%). Count the Odds effect now has base chance 10% (was 8%) and duration 8 seconds (was 5 seconds), but no longer doubled while Stealthed. Underhanded Upper Hand no longer affects Slice and Dice duration and no longer grants 3 seconds of Subterfuge duration (Stealth ability use). Crackshot’s Dispatch effectiveness reduced to 50% (was 75%). Thief’s Versatility now increases Versatility by 3% (was 4%). Some talents have moved locations. Sepsis has been removed. Subtlety Premeditation has been redesigned – After entering Stealth, your next combo point generating ability generates full combo points. Invigorating Shadowdust now reduces cooldowns by 10/20 seconds (was 15/30 seconds). Shadow Dance moved from the Class talent tree to Subtlety talent tree. Shadow Focus now reduces costs by 5%. Some talents have moved locations.
