Chaos bolt just needs to do more damage thatâs all the issue is
Lower shard generation if they are worried about being able to cast too many
A demon hunters death sweep individual hits literally hit harder than a castes chaos bolt

right now as it stands, destro in pvp is kinda like a joke. i was doing bgs earlier and constantly had to deal with ppl running out of range from me. i cast one immolate and conflagrate and thats all i get bc once they see that, they run out of range and then im stuck not being able to cast anything. it sucks
I thought they learned in SL that locking a majority of a classes power behind cds made for a really stale pvp experience
Well they removed dark soul and forgot to buff chaos bolt to compensate, kinda silly
Personally I would prefer a chaosbolt that scales depending on the amount of shards you use but have it be a charge up ability like the dracthyr fire breath. They could even do something fun with it and make it not be âstoppedâ by interrupts, and instead fire off its attack prematurely if interrupted. Consuming the amount of shards that were built up during the cast and hitting for less if interrupted early. This would still lock you out of spells but it would lessen the punish on the spell being stopped midway.

That would be a very interesting talent but as a base function? Hell no.

I found chaos bolt spamming during infernal to be quite novel, after playing with it for a bit I prefer the hard hitting bolts over the current design.

On top of the damage lacking, every change theyâre making to warlock survivability is for all specs. At the end of the day only Destro will suffer and Aff and Demo will be fine.
I like that Immolate and Conflag do good dmg now. Thatâs great. But Chaos Bolt and Shadow Burn are severely lacking even with Madness talent casting 2x in a row and on-use trinkets and other talent modifiers for those spells.
So many instant cast and/or non-resource spending spells and melee abilities hit harder than Chaos Bolt. Several WW monk, Arms, DH, Rogue, Hunter abilities, others already mentioned like lava burst, ice lance, SWD, and so many more.
The easiest fix is to straight up buff Shadowburn and Chaos bolt damage. Shadowburn by much more, itâs a joke. This may require, like others have mentioned, a rework or removal of crashing chaos. Others mentioned adding dimensional rift, I think you could accomplish both in one solution: Turn crashing chaos into decimating bolt, so you can infernal at 0 shards and do increased incinerate/conflag damage while ramping up shards quickly. Another interesting solution I saw was buffing destroâs base crit. This would directly increase chaos bolt dmg and passively buff our other dmg. Maybe even make crit affect shadowburnâs dmg. Plenty of ways they could go about it. I do have some secret sauce so I think Destro will be fine in RBGs but 3s probably not. I donât think they are that far off though. They will be if they keep nerfing baseline survivability though.
Iâd still be happy with a mobile CDF channel tbh

ohhh these are nice ty
Chaos bolt will still hit pretty weak, but with shadowburn and incinerate buffs as well, it should be a nice overall damage increase
How come no one is talking about Rain of Fire?
Our AoE right now is so bad you will find yourself casting chaos bolt in AoE scenarios because RoF does no damage.

I think people only play ROF to get your ritual of ruin stacks at the beginning of games while youâre out of combat and your shards regen. personally I donât play it Iâd rather use the point somewhere else. Iâd pick up cataclsym though, but idk what kind of dmg it does at the moment. if its really bad I wouldnât pick that up either
