Destruction Warlock

Destruction Warlock Legion Remix guide updated for Patch 11.2.5 covering the best Fel artifact path, Chaos Bolt builds, stat priorities, and Bronze spending tips—the go-to Legion Remix warlock talents snapshot for turret players.

Best Artifact Path: Fel Path

Twisted Crusade

Pure damage output with aggressive burst windows

Calls in a subjugated Dreadlord that rains meteor fire and can be detonated for a Felspike nova.

Mechanics:

  • Fel Touched stacks blow up every four seconds, rewarding sustained cleave
  • Touch of Malice guarantees Twisted Crusade crits and spreads Fel Touched faster
  • I Am My Scars reflects enemy hits for Chaos damage, ideal for tanks and soloing
  • Felspike replaces Twisted Crusade after cast, letting you sacrifice the Dreadlord for massive AoE

Best For:

Single-target boss encountersRaid contentCleave and AoE damage when packs survive for Fel explosionsMax-level DPS optimization and tank threat bursts

Stat Priority

  2. 2Haste
  3. 3Critical Strike
  4. 4Mastery
  5. 5Versatility

Destruction Warlock Legion Remix Priority

  1. 1Keep Immolate active on all primary targets
  2. 2Spend Soul Shards on Chaos Bolt (single target) or Rain of Fire (AoE)
  3. 3Conflagrate on cooldown to generate Backdraft charges
  4. 4Incinerate as filler to build shards when nothing else is available
  5. 5Summon Infernal to align with Fel path burst windows
  6. 6Use Havoc to duplicate Chaos Bolts on critical priority mobs

Leveling Tips

  • Use Cataclysm to apply Immolate to entire packs before channeling Rain of Fire
  • Backdraft from Conflagrate keeps Chaos Bolt casts fast even while soloing
  • Havoc + Chaos Bolt deletes Remix rares during split phases
  • Carry healthstones and make use of Soul Leech for passive absorbs
  • Heroic World Tier dungeons are efficient thanks to massive AoE potential
  • Prioritize haste gear to smooth shard generation and channel times

Bronze Spending Priority

  • 1. Fully upgrade the Fel artifact path for Twisted Crusade crit chains
  • 2. Purchase high item level weapons and haste trinkets
  • 3. Target tier set bonuses that empower Chaos Bolt damage
  • 4. Claim the Felscorched Dreadsteed mount for free at level 80
  • 5. Invest Bronze into Legion spell effect transmogs
  • 6. Save remaining Bronze for alt gearing or housing décor
