Talent Cheatsheet for Destruction Warlock
The Restless Cabal
This fight has 2 targets, with additional adds spawning throughout the
encounter. Your Imp can be used to dispel Promises of Power and help
healers' Mana; alternatively, you can choose to
run with Felhunter to help with interrupting the Eldritch Abomination's casts.
You should aim to keep every target Immolated in order to gain extra
shards and increase your uptime on
Flashpoint. Despite doing this,
you should remember that Visage from Beyond is the priority add, so make sure to
save resources if needed; once it reaches 1 HP, it will start regenerating. You
should consider making it a Havoc target in order to stagger the awakening.
Custody of the Deep is a DPS-check mechanic, so make sure to coordinate
with your raid to pop these bubbles before they expire.
Warlock's mitigation and high stamina make them a good candidate for Zaxasj
tanking and to soak Void Crashes after they bounce twice. Make sure to
place your
Demonic Gateway and
Demonic Circle to minimize the
raid damage taken from
Crushing Doubt.
Uu'nat, Harbinger of the Void
This fight has 3 phases, with an increasing amount of adds spawning over the course of the encounter.
Phase 1 is fairly straightforward; you just need to pay attention to where you are standing and try to drop tears at the edges of the platform.
You should try to keep Immolate up on Undying Guardians for
additional resources, but ensure that they are not regenerating when you start
the transition into Phase 2.
The Primordial Mindbenders can be stunned and interrupted.
