Best Destruction Warlock Anima Powers

During a Torghast run, there are plenty of chances to choose 1 between 3 different anima powers. Below we have compiled a list with the relative strength of each Anima Powers you can obtain within Torghast.

Keep in mind some powers might perform better when paired with different options, unlike others that can instead deliver results on their own.

Last but not least, the choice will often be among Potency, Survivability and Utility. Playstyle preference should be taken into account, therefore do not hesitate to experiment differently from this list.

"S" is best and "F" is worst.

Phantasma Anima Powers for Destruction Warlock

Occasionally you will be offered the ability to get Phantasma instead of an Anima Power, or increases to your Phantasma generation. It is hard to evaluate these, but we recommend choosing them when there is no "B"-tier or higher alternative Anima Power.

Destruction Warlock Playstyle for Torghast, Tower of the Damned

During the first 1, maybe 2 floors, with little to no anima powers, at higher difficulties the tower can be quite challenging, however warlocks as a pet class can deal with multiple target pulls easier than most other classes. Always pay attention to your pet health when soloing the tower, and consider rotating crowd control abilities in the event where the Voidwalker is taking too much damage. Health Funnel Icon Health Funnel can be used to prolong its life, but more often than not is just better to summon a new one.

  1. Cast Soulfire Icon Soulfire on cooldown if talented
  2. Cast Cataclysm Icon Cataclysm on cooldown if talented, trying to maximise the number of targets affected each cast
  3. Cast Channel Demonfire Icon Channel Demonfire on cooldown if talented
  4. Spend your shards on Chaos Bolt Icon Chaos Bolt unless there are 3 or more targets stacked and your Havoc Icon Havoc is on cooldown, in which case cast Rain of Fire Icon Rain of Fire
  5. maintain Immolate Icon Immolate on as many targets as possible
  6. try to snipe dying targets with Shadowburn Icon Shadowburn if talented
  7. Cast Incinerate if nothing else is available

In order to maximise Infernal usage, try to pool at least 4 shards and try to spend as many as possible for the duration of Rain of Chaos Icon Rain of Chaos in order to trigger as many additional Infernals as possible.

Make liberal use of your cooldowns in order to deal with difficult pulls, as normally the end floor mini bosses are not particularly challenging. Try instead to get to the floor 6 boss with all cooldowns ready as later it turns into a DPS race.

5.1.

Anima Power Playstyle Changes for Destruction Warlock

Destruction Warlocks can achieve almost permanent Infernal through a combination of different powers, specifically Realmlord's Insignia Icon Realmlord's Insignia, Soul Platter Icon Soul Platter. This playstyle is especially effective with multiple stacks of Darkwhisper Signet Icon Darkwhisper Signet and Pact of Infernal Intimacy Icon Pact of Infernal Intimacy to further empower your army of Infernals.

Another possible combination is achieved through multiple stacks of Mark of Borrowed Power Icon Mark of Borrowed Power and Glutton's Guise Icon Glutton's Guise in order to chain as many Chaos Bolt Icon Chaos Bolts and potentially face tank bosses.
