Destruction (0/17/54) by Pyrilus
This build is what you'll want for the most part for Destruction. This spec can play with in a 2 dps 2s, and can be general purpose for 3s and 5s because of its versatility.
The main highlights are Backdraft, Backlash, Pyroclasm, Nether Protection, and Shadowfury.
These talents together provide great synergy, on top of having the basic defenses from Demonology. Fire and Brimstone was skipped here because in reality, you can't really control when you use Conflag and it'll probably be as quickly as possible. The spec has many benefits: the casted damage is primarily fire-based, so if you get locked out you can go straight to Fearing, you get a 3 second stun on a 20 second cooldown which is really quite helpful if you combine SF with HoT (and maybe even pick up the glyph for it). You have really great defenses against magic damage with Nether Protection and Backlash helps you with burst when you're focused.
If a melee is on you, you have lots of options as well. Shadowflame can be used as a replacement for Immolate if you need to get a Conflag off. With the Conflag, you have a chance to stun your enemy and increase your nuke casting speed on top of it. It really has a lot going for it and it arguably has the highest skill cap because of all of the options available to you.

| There's also another variation of this spec that uses imp Succubus instead of Demonic Aegis, considering all pets are relatively fragile. | |

| I run with this spec atm, its pretty damn effective with the potential to burst a target. Literally ive seen DKs go from 100-0 in something like 4 seconds (majority of crits ofc) Thanks Pyrilus for showing a spec thats slightly competitive | |

| wat would be ur spell rotation? shadowfury,immolate, conflag, incineratex3, rinse, dry, repeat? because i can see with just those spells which would take 6sec after the stun i could do about 15k, so wouldnt it be smart to have more in fire and brimstone for immolate? or r u gonna be using searing pain as ur main nuke, because with all ur talents and glyphs searing pain can crit for 3k-4k. so which do u use? incinerate or pain? | |
| Bodileto | Jan 6, 2009 - 1:28 AM (HideShow) |
| and do u actually use chaos bolt? | |
| Bodileto | Jan 6, 2009 - 1:31 AM (HideShow) |
| i am looking at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/warlock/talents.html?tal=000000000000000000000000000020500331130200000000000000005233015203231351330031011 use ur succubus and try to finish your target in a good 10sec tops. i might try this with my holy pally, and just seduce the healr and stun/kill the dps | |

| this is one of the funnest specs i've done in arena. you have lots of ways to cc and peel. shadowfury is a game changer. Only problems with the 3/3 succy option are fear and seduce being on the same stupid DR. | |
| Bodileto | Jan 10, 2009 - 9:04 PM (HideShow) |
| do u use chaos bolt? and wat does it hit for? | |
| Bodileto | Jan 10, 2009 - 9:05 PM (HideShow) |
| and would it be worth while in 2s, cuz instant seduce is kinda sick if u can burst up a lot | |
| Sakrelycs | Jan 17, 2009 - 8:48 AM (HideShow) |
| Sorry to say but i think this spec is crap and if your saying it's good your kiding yourself, even as demon in 4/5 savage and 1/5 hatefull (close to 700 res) your gona get literaly 2 shoted by most melees not to mention most 2's now are DK/pala or Rogue/mage, rogues poisons = 50% less cast time plus no global on kick so GG... Try using affliction or full demon to last atleast 20 sec.. | |

| Ok I've looked at all three specs and right now I'm using a destruction spec different from this one for 2s paired with an unholy dk. Any idea which would really be best for us? We're not exactly over the top skilled but we're ok. (Sorry about posting on demo. Brain left for a min.) | |

| there is a better way to put talents but i dont know how to put them on this website... | |
| Kedem | Jan 22, 2009 - 5:02 PM (HideShow) |
| btw if u make a group of lock and mage u can sheep a target and nuke the other one with chaos boll | |

 Imdalilguy | Jan 29, 2009 - 11:18 PM (HideShow) |
| im currently this spec... whats better haste, crit or hit? im new to destro | |

| No offense but you really suck at speccing:/ | |
| Torment | Mar 11, 2009 - 3:46 PM (HideShow) |
| Imp Health Funnel and Imp Searing Pain are the only questionable choices. Once 3.1 comes around it will be obsolete anyways. | |
 Hackzlol | Mar 18, 2009 - 10:10 PM (HideShow) |
| take imp succubus for the instant cast seductions instead of imp searing pain, imo | |
| Torment | Mar 19, 2009 - 8:08 AM (HideShow) |
| "Once 3.1 comes around it will be obsolete anyways." Took me a bit to figure out what I meant here. The spec will change quite a bit in 3.1, so a new one will be made. | |

| http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/warlock/talents.html?tal=000000000000000000000000000000520331130200000000000000005230015220231351335031001 is the spec you should be going. imp succubus is EXTREMELY useful. even though the seduction shares a dr with fear, it can be used with practically no boundaries. be it to cc one target while killing the other one, be it to interrupt a heal or whatever the hell else. imp health funnel is necessary to, taking into account just how squishy our pets are atm. if you really find you need the extra hp from the hs, get a glyph of healthstone; there are hardly any better glyph choices for destro anyway. forget imp. searing pain. go for soul leech, it's still useful. | |
 Hinkel | Apr 13, 2009 - 9:21 AM (HideShow) |
| so what spec is better for 2v2? Destro or Aff....I'm having a hard time deciding and even with trial and error they both have ups and downs. I'm playing with a BM hunter and we are actually doing pretty well rating wise. | |
| Pyrilus | Apr 13, 2009 - 3:04 PM (HideShow) |
| Psykoz, at the time, F&B was seen as useless. Now, when I go Destr, I go 5/5 F%B and 1/2 imp HS. I take those from Soul Leech and Imp SP. | |
| Akethor | May 3, 2009 - 8:13 AM (HideShow) |
| I'd say http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#IZbG0hkhbZVf0qrcuAsVcot:zq0z is a better specc now, after some talent changes.. I play frostmage+destro lock. Yesterday we took down a deadly gladiator warrior with 26k hp in 5 seconds.. | |
| Katrie | May 14, 2009 - 8:44 PM (HideShow) |
| I prefer to rock deep destro with a Glyphed Felhunter and Soul Leech. Awesome kite factor, plus self-heals. :D | |
| Disturple | Jun 14, 2009 - 12:43 AM (HideShow) |
| I don't find much use for fel dom or master summoner, and instead put the 3 point in pyroclasm my incinerates crit for 9-10k with it. I'm not a hard core PvP'er but i can take out a warrior w/ 26k hp in less than 6secs myself. | |
| Razorßlade | Sep 2, 2009 - 9:23 AM (HideShow) |
| What would the rotation be with this spec? http://www.arenajunkies.com/talents/warlock/0_17_54/ im new to arena and im trying to form up a team with an unholy death knight for 2s. | |
