wind blows a tumbleweed across the ground
Hello? Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me.
Any desto brothers suffering well? Cant see myself going aff or demo but at what point are we a mythic carry?

We’re not a carry yet (that might change with further essence scaling) but we gotta work extra hard for PvE in order to stay relevant while other classes can afford mistakes without too big of an impact.
But tbh destro’s been like that since legion so I’m kinda used to it by now.
o/ hoy,
I personally love my desto. Like Midnighter said, we gotta work harder but it worth it because it’s my favourite spec.

I don’t see how that would impact you even if it were a factor.
Sadly we are. Complete bottom tier on the single target fights + Radiance. We are however decent on court and Azshara, but still get outshined by many other specs including our own.

I cant speak too much because my gear is bad. But 30k chaos bolts when infernal is on cd just dont cut it. Most of my other toons hit 30k+ left and right.
Cb does need buff.

Destruction is in a funky place. If you have been playing the class for years you will get by on what you know and leaning on historical knowledge of the intricacies of the class due to all of the shear movement and bs that occurs in TEP. Knowing which traits, which talents and what trinkets / gear to swap around depending on the fight is at an all time high. The destruction warlocks that know their stuff will shine, the ones who don’t will fail.

I seem to splat people in BGs on my Destro lock. Seems fun to me.

I see what you’re doing, you green fire freaks. You are trying to complain so that you will avoid the nerf bat. I see right through these shenanigans.
Destro Locks have the best control/damage/self heal combination in the game right now. They need nothing in PvP.

feel like OP is referring to PvE not PvP. I would argue in PvP destruction is quite strong and is able to compete versus us in PvE where there are just better classes. I really dislike having to do 150%+ work to maintain damage / dps that another class maybe has to put in 75% effort for a much larger gain. It really feels like sometimes no matter how much work you put in to knowing your class and rotation if the developers don’t know how to properly class design none of that matters. Some classes are literally 3 button spammers. The disparity is unreal.

I agree that in PvE destro needs some tweaking. But, as another 3 spec dps only class, our strength is that we always have at least one strong spec for PvE and PvP. It just may not be the one we prefer. Still, that’s better than some classes.
Expert use of Havoc is key. That, Destro performs better the better you get at the fights. I liken it to Arcane mages. Their damage can be devastating… but because of movement, and learning fights, they are more liable to suffer early in the tier.
Also, mediocre scaling doesn’t help.

This topic seems to be about pve.
What self heal? Oh you mean the mortal coil, and the once per combat health stone? Yeah, those ain’t squat.

In theory yes. When you need it, not so much.

How are you hitting such low numbers with infernal out? Don’t you take the infernal talent on the 75 row?
Switched to Hunter for this tier.
Im not gonna play affliction, not again.
affliction has always been the most boring spec to play in pve, and this is coming from someone who greatly prefers to play affliction in pvp.
I got tired of being a turret that loses all the damage if i have to do a single mechanic, and this raid is overflowing with them.
If you have a team that will play around you and let you dps without worrying about doing stuff, fair enough, i prefer to be active with mechanics.
