Hey,
Just like for Demo, I cooked up a Destruction Spec Tree that I really like. I hope you like it too.

Key Notes
- I reduced the talents down to 46 points with zero 2 point nodes, but there are 3 choice nodes. I removed a few choice nodes by just separating the talents, including Cataclysm. All old 2 point nodes are now 1 point nodes but with the 2 point node power.
- I kept Avatar of Destruction - this is one of my favorite talents in the tree. I think removing it is a mistake.
- I removed Grimoire of Sacrifice and Grand Warlock’s Design (Making Summon Infernal baseline 2 minutes). Grimoire of Sacrifice may have a place in a warlock tree but for now I do not want to design with it.
- Note some icons in the image above are not all the same per the current alpha build.
- I kept Decimating Bolt as an option but moved it higher in the tree.

- Conflagrate: no change from alpha, stays as the first node. Chaos Bolt is still baseline.
