Good video, nice seeing someone covering the 3rd spec of the warlocks. All 3 specs are definitely viable and the player can push the spec to be better then what it actually is. I like Destro rotation for single target, can get spicy sometimes.
After my Conflag consumes my Immolate, do I recast Immolate before Chaos Bolting? Or do I CB -> Immolate -> Incinerate assuming my curse is still up and running
If you have the glyph it should not consume the immolate ever. If you have to not run that glyph for some reason, I would have the dot running before Chaos Bolting.
@@ItsPummel sure aff and demo both do more dmg if played at a high lvl, but that doesn't mean a destro lock wont beat out your entire raid if they are good. People tend to only look at 99-100% as if they are somehow running those numbers every day and night on every fight. I would take a 80% destro lock so long as they made very raid and didn't have a habbit of dying on every encounter. The real boss guys remember is the roster boss.
Destro really isn't far behind either Aff or Demo and has the ability to bring some awesome utility that you might not otherwise have. Not a spec to sleep on.
i raided it as a meme in ulduar and im pretty much equal if not ahead on some fights against demos, minmax kills the fun and im pressured to be a different spec but its fun af to play ngl
Hey @itspummel , I have been playing with the Sims and it seems that taking improved soul leech over 3/3 backlash and the affli hit talents Sims better. Presumably this is because the imp gets more mana..? May I ask, what is your reasoning for now going for this?
Soul leech sims better but I like the backlash and affli hit talents. Soul leech was the only thing I could comfortably drop without truly hurting damage and still being able to move down the tree. Without those suppression talents you have no way to gain extra hit outside of gear. The extra 3% crit from backlash is a comfort talent. I mentioned that the build was just what I am using because there are a lot of options for Destro.
@@ItsPummel I see. Main thing I wanted to check with you was that the sims are not overvaluing the mana. Although as you say it's really down to personal preference I guess and how much you value crit and wish to itemise. Thanks for your insight Pummel, your guides are great. Much appreciated :)
It's a great spec and great video about it. Gets lots of hate for no reason. How come you don't go for Soul Leach at all? Even the personal mana and health return is nice and sims higher dps. I suppose it depends on your hit rating tho
Soul Leech is a decent talent, I just wanted Soul Link and Nether Protection instead. They provided more utility in the fights I was Destro, but could easily swap the talents if you like that talent more.
Had someone playing destro on a few fights and they were crankin. They have replenishment, big aoe stun, and blood pact if you dont have a warrior. Not the WORST thing to bring to a raid... (sub rogue, frost mage, BM hunter lol)
SOUL FIRE PRECAST BABYYYYYYYY
Thanks for covering my forever favourite lock spec. Shadowburn for life.

All 3 specs are what it takes to be a warlock, might as well be able to play them all.
Thanks so much, Great video
Thank you! Hope it helps
Best thumbnail ever !

@@ItsPummel thank you!
Sadly I doubt anyone would pick a destro lock over aff or demo, other than the aoe stun for Freya they don't really do anything other than just dmg.
its a shame they don't have any strong utility, but I agree.

@@lawless7859 I am a big advocate for play whatever makes you happy. Destro cranks in the right hands, hell hybrid beats out affli sometimes.
@@ItsPummel they can do 8k easy, thats all i give a shit about
@@lawless7859 yeah easily

@@duckdicus its not meme for sure . really good on single target . much better than demon !
@@shakhwashintanbour1853 But it only brings dps...Demo brings DPS and increase SP for the raid.

Not sure if I missed it, but when do I use soulfire?
Don't really use soulfire as destro
Thanks for this big dog
dooope as foaak mon ! stay lit
Is popping a flame cap better then popping a potion?
No, flame caps are dead now sadly.
Not dead on Vezax!
hey pummel what addon is that for your player and target? also is that weakaura showing your cooldowns for the public?
For the frames I use Whoa Thick Frames, and the addon is in my discord. Link shouldbe in the description. Let me know if its not working.
It's a great spec and great video about it. Gets lots of hate for no reason. How come you don't go for Soul Leach at all? Even the personal mana and health return is nice and sims higher dps. I suppose it depends on your hit rating tho

GOT A STRING FOR THOSE WA'S?
All weakauras are in my discord, if you want more details feel free to message me. I usually respond pretty quick.
I think you could play Destruction after some week when you'll be farming hardmodes. Before, probably, you will be nerfing your raid by a lot.

@@ItsPummel Frost mage brings replenishment and spell crit and FM, with dps similar to that of a destro lock...
destro is badass spec ..affliction is a tryhard spec gg
lol
Destro is pretty neat, will be using it for Hodir/Freya at least.
first..
Lol destro big pass
This is the sentiment I get from most locks, but if there's ever a day you have to know, here ya go.
I'll pass you too ;)
That's why Ur wife cheats on you 😂😂
what is the dot addon you use for your curser
It is a cursor weakaura so I can always see where it is. pastebin.com/QQkwyngy here it is
