Modifications in patch 8.0

Talents

Now I will tell you what talents I think are convenient to have in our build and the explanation of all the available talents.

  • Level 15: Sudden Combustion.
  • Level 30: Internal combustion.
  • Level 45: Burning Momentum.
  • Level 60: Cataclysm.
  • Level 75: Demonic Circle.
  • Level 90: Roaring Flare.
  • Level 100: Soul Conduit.

Destruction Warlock - PVE Guides - Patch 8.0

lvl 15

  • Sudden combustion- Conflagrate deals 25% more damage and grants an extra charge of Smoke Blast.
  • Eradication: Chaos Bolt increases the damage you deal to the target by 10% for 7 sec.
  • Soul fire: Burns the enemy's soul, dealing (100% of Spell power). Fire damage. The cooldown is reduced by 2 seconds for each Soul Shard spent. Spawn 4 Soul Shard Pieces.

In this branch the three talents have many possibilities but they stand out above Sudden combustion y Eradication.

Eradication It stands out above all, but it has a downside: without a good base of speed we won't be able to take advantage of talent. Until we have that base, it is best to take advantage of Sudden combustion that its use is more generalized and also gives its game.

For what I recommend first Sudden combustion until your speed is profitable so you can get more out of Eradication.

lvl 30

  • Reverse entropy: Your spells have a chance to grant you 15% haste for 8 sec.
  • internal combustion: Chaos Bolt consumes up to 5 seconds of your Immolate's damage-over-time effect on the target, dealing that amount of damage instantly.
  • shadow burn: Hits a target for (60% of Spell power). Shadowflame damage. If the target dies within 5 sec and brings experience or honor, Shadow Burn's cooldown is reset. Spawn 3 Soul Shard Fragments.

internal combustion is the star talent, improving your damage chaos discharge through immolate. Focused mostly on unitarget damage.

In multitarget combats it compensates us Reverse entropy. It also combines with the talent Eradication to get the most out of it.

lvl 45

  • demon skin: Your Soul Parasite absorb now passively recharges at a rate of 0.5% of maximum health every 1 sec and can absorb up to 15% of maximum health.
  • Burning momentum: Increases your movement speed by 50%, but also deals 4% of your maximum health every 1 sec. Movement reduction effects cannot drop your movement speed below 100% of normal movement speed. Lasts until canceled.
  • dark pact: Sacrifice 20% of your current health to grant you a shield with 250% of sacrificed health for 20 sec. Can be used while under the effects of loss of control.

Burning momentum He is the Warlock's best talent, solving a rather troublesome problem: the poor mobility of the class. Widely used in most general situations.

In meetings where mobility is null or scarce and it is not necessary to move much or fast, it is best demon skin. A periodic passive heal that works great and helps healers save some mana.

dark pact It is a talent indicated in special situations where survival reigns. Recommended only in encounters where there is a critical damage situation.

lvl 60

  • hell: Rain of Fire damage has a 20% chance to spawn a Soul Shard Chunk.
  • Fire and brimstoneIncinerate now also hits all enemies near your target, dealing 40% damage and generating 1 Soul Shard Chunk for each additional enemy hit.
  • Cataclismo: Summons a cataclysm at the target location that deals (180% of Spell power) p. Shadowflame damage to all enemies within 8 yards and immolate them.

In generalized and especially unitarget situations Cataclismo. For multitarget the best is Fire and brimstone, improving our main rotation ability and generating more shards.

lvl 75

  • Dark fury: Reduces the cooldown of Shadow Fury by 15 sec.
  • death spiral: Terrifies a fleeing enemy target and incapacitates them for 3 sec. Heals you for 20% of maximum health.
  • Demonic circle: Summons a demonic circle for 15 min. Cast Demonic Circle - Teleport to teleport to its location and remove all movement slowing effects.

As in the case of branch 45, our talent will be Demonic circle to improve our mobility, the Warlock's main weakness.

The other talents Dark fury y death spiral They have a more PvP approach than PvE.

lvl 90

  • Grimoire of Supremacy: While you have an Inferno active, each Soul Shard you spend increases the damage of your Chaos Bolt by 8%.
  • roaring flare: Conflagrate causes the target to burn for (48% of Spell power). additional Fire damage over 6 sec.
  • Grimoire of Sacrifice: Sacrifice your demon pet for power, gaining its Demon Mastery ability. Additionally, it causes your spells to also sometimes deal (35% of Spell power) p. extra Shadow damage. Lasts for 1 hour or until you summon a demon pet.

Something similar with this branch happened in branch 15. The best talent will be Grimoire of Supremacy but we need a high haste base to get the most out of our Inferno, which lasts for 30 seconds.

In most situations and in general roaring flare.

But as I said in branch 15 first I recommend roaring flare until your speed is profitable so you can get more out of Grimoire of Supremacy.

lvl 100

  • Soul conduit: Each Soul Shard you spend has a 15% chance to be restored.
  • Channel Demon Fire: Fires 15 bolts of fel fire over 3 sec at random enemies affected by your Immolate within 40 yards. Each bolt deals (16% of Spell power). Fire damage to the target and (7% of Spell power). Fire damage to nearby enemies.
  • dark soul instability: Infuses unstable power into your soul, increasing your critical strike chance by 30% for 20 sec.

Soul conduit y dark soul instability they are very good options. Soul conduit it may be a little above dark soul instability since it needs a high base of haste to take advantage of it as it happens in branches 15 and 90 but both options are totally viable.
