The 3.1.x PvE Destruction Warlock Guide

The 3.1.x PvE Destruction Warlock Guide

The 3.1.x PvE Destruction Warlock Guide

Following this forums kind responses and constructive feedback to my Demo guide I decided to make another guide this time for the spec I got from one of your threads the 0/13/58 destruction build.

This guide is not a guide to shaving the absolute maximum possible dps out of this build but rather a simpler more manageable rotation that takes your focus off your cast bars and back onto the bosses. The guide explains a few new UI mods I'm using as well as an in an in depth guide to my rotation.

There is a short abridged video of a mimiron kill to demonstrate the rotation in PvE to put it in a bit more context.

Thank you all for the kind words I give you a mention in the end :D

You can find the guide on youtube here:

Re: The 3.1.x PvE Destruction Warlock Guide

Anyone any opinions on the movie?

*sniff* why did I bother :(.

Is it because I'm not spamming my cooldowns?

Hello Optec,

really clear made video. Doesn't have to to be more.

Rotation is well explained.

It will help me if I switch to Destro.

Thanks !

Re: The 3.1.x PvE Destruction Warlock Guide

Yay comments :p

Sorry about my first post I know the information is slightly off initially I was in raidleader mode where i'm trying to focus on an entire raids positioning/tactics/health whilst doing my rotation. So initially keeping it simple was my priority.

To optimise it for DPS use conflag as soon as its off CD sometimes you may have to wait half a second instead of casting another incinerate. A bit of practise and decent CD tracking mods has made this new rotation nice and easy to do even with everything else going on.

With that caveat please view the video for what I intended it as. A clear guide for people new to the class to understand probably the most popular lock spec. I put alot of work into this and my meta video even if the data may be slightly wrong i'm still new to video editing and this was a nice chance to experiment for me .

All the best and thank you to all who watched it.

Awesome video, just dual spec'd destruction for raiding (eventually, still got some leveling to do). This helped loads with rotations and what not for me

Oh, hello Tetraz, fellow Mazrigos lock

That zoom in isn't a mod its my video editing.

If you mean the cast bar its quartz.

Other mods you can see are:
Necrosis
Bartender
Mik Scrolling Battletext
Omen
Recount

Re: The 3.1.x PvE Destruction Warlock Guide

Casting immolate during backdraft isn't a waste. This is a common misconception. Conflag should be cast whenever it's off cooldown, if physically possible. Immolate should be cast whenever the remaining duration equals its casting time. With and without backdraft.

Thanks for the video though. You've got the Bob Ross thing going on there ;)
