Hi all,
Kind of a returning player here and I'm considering rolling a fresh Warlock alt, and I wish to play the Destruction spec as I do on official server. I've read that it's the least viable spec for PvE in WotLK, but I would like to know if it's totally useless in endgame raiding even with BiS-ish gear (wish to progress in ICC and RS). Is it really worth rolling Destro Lock in WotLK for PvE?
TIA
I don't recall a situation where a destro would've been needed/requested by a raid leader.
Destro would be one of those bottom picks when raid is desperate for any DPS to fill ranks. Even then, they'd prefer Demo/Affli.
That bad? Guess I'll have to drop the idea of rolling Destro then. Though I'll be able to pull average DPS with all the buffs and all.
Toc 10/25, VOA, and ICC 10 nm you could probably get away with rolling destro, but any other locks spec will get you an insta invite into higher tier raids.
I only ever use destro in pve when I'm around the pre-raid gear lvl.. as in normal/hc dungeons, maybe toc 10n.. the low hp pool of mobs and bosses is neat for the quick destro dips. But in raid, as previously said, demo is more viable..
Hybrid is a somewhat more viable raiding spec that has some destro elements to it, but still a greedy spec considering it doesn't give any raid buffs like demo
