Destruction Warlock PvP Best Arena Compositions — Midnight Season 1
Team composition in 2v2 or 3v3 Arena is very important, because not all classes work well together. Here, we give you the best compositions you can have for your Destruction Warlock (i.e., the best classes to pair with it).
This page is part of our Destruction Warlock PvP Guide.
2v2 Arena
In 2v2 Arena, there are not many options. Your goal is to avoid as much damage
as possible by kiting with 
Demonic Circle: Teleport and
Curse of Exhaustion while throwing out instant damage with
Conflagrate, 
Shadowburn and 
Wither. Creating windows to
cast 
Chaos Bolt can help close games out. It is important to note that
if you are interrupted while casting 
Fear, you can still cast Chaos Bolt.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 2v2:
3v3 Arena
Your role in 3v3 is similar to 2v2 Arena. You are trying to find a time to
use 
Mortal Coil on both DPS and cast multiple Chaos Bolts on
your kill target.
In the meantime, avoid damage by utilizing Fear and your mobility.
It is best to be playing with another caster so you are not the only person
being interrupted. Use Fear on the enemy healer and have
one of your teammates stun your kill target.
It is important to note that Fear should be cast almost always
unless someone is already Feared. This allows you to cast
Chaos Bolt as the Feared person cannot interrupt, and allows you to
bait interrupts from other players on the enemy team.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 3v3:
