Destruction Warlock Legion: Remix Guide — The War Within (11.2.5)

Welcome to our Legion Remix Guide for Destruction Warlock! on this page we will cover everything you need to know for getting the most out of your character in the Patch 11.2.5 special feature, Legion: Remix.

This page is entirely dedicated to playing Destruction Warlock in the new event. If you want to know more about Legion Remix in general, how it works and what rewards you can earn, follow the button below:

This event features Artifact Weapons where to spend Infinite Power on 5 different paths. Each one of those will feature an active ability, alongside multiple passive enhancing damage, defenses and healing. Listed below are some recommendations, based on playstyle, but it is worth reminding that this is a fun event where experimentation is encouraged, and personal preference does matter.

To begin with, a quick overview of each tree:

• Nature: tree centered around damage procs, survivability, cooldown reduction and increased resource generation. The active ability Call of the Forest provides a shield as well as giving bonus to casting speed.
• Fel: tree that focus on debuff application and damage output, with multiple Rains of Fire through Dreadlord Twisted Crusade active ability.
• Arcane: tree that offers both survivability and damage tied to standing still. Naran's Everdisc active ability deals high AoE damage and can be repeated multiple times when catching the orb back.
• Storm: main appeal comes from the ability to cast while moving. Its active ability Tempest Wrath deals damage in a circle around you, increasing for each target hit. Passives offer Haste bonuses
• Holy: tree focused around healing and sustain.

As Warlock are inherently tanky during leveling being a pet class, Storm is the main recommendation, as it lessen the mobility burden. A more thematically appropriate alternative for group play can be Fel with the caveat that the debuff Fel Touched works on allies only.

Listed below is a balanced leveling setup, able to tackle any situations, be it questing, farming mobs or doing dungeons.

Legion Remix offers a fun opportunity to try new classes and specialisation, and keeping things simple allows for a smoother introduction to all these new elements. Use the slider to select your level and how to use the new spells and abilities unlocked at any given point.

Move the slider below to make the guide update to your level!

Starting at Level 1, you only have one main attack ability: Shadow Bolt.

1. Level 2 — the first DoT, Corruption, becomes available, which should be used to tag and soften up multiple enemies whenever spamming a few Shadow Bolts will not kill them quicker.
2. Level 33 — Use Summon Infernal as often as possible.
3. Level 29 — Use Shadowburn on targets below 20% health in order to trigger the 50% additional Critical Strike chance and hopefully the shard refund.
4. Level 17 — Use Cataclysm as often as possible.
5. Level 19 — Use Havoc when there is a second target to duplicate every single-target spell.
6. Level 10 — Cast Chaos Bolt whenever you have at least 2 Shards.
7. Level 15 — Cast Rain of Fire when you have 3 shards and there are at least 3 targets stacked.
8. Level 10 — maintain Immolate on as many targets as possible for high damage and shard generation.
9. Level 11 — Cast Conflagrate when moving and when you do not have more than 4 and a half shards.
10. Level 10 — Incinerate replaces Shadow Bolt with the ability to generate Soul Shard bits.

Summon Imp is your first available demon. This pet is not particularly useful for leveling, but you have no choice for the early levels.

If you are leveling alone, Summon Voidwalker can be a helpful choice while leveling up, as it takes a lot of the pressure off you. Avoiding casting pushback can also increase leveling speed.

Summon Felhunter can be a good choice if you are leveling in a group or venturing into dungeons. The extra interrupt is helpful for dealing with troublesome caster mobs.
