So I started out grinding prebis gear for affliction and ended up not liking affliction.
I want to become Destruction and seen that destruction fire is the move if u have a fire mage. I’m playing with a fire mage buddy… Is it worth the grind for spellfire robe , spellfire gloves , spellfire belt and switching to destruction fire or stick with destruction shadow with my gear that i already have? I got spellstrike hood , frozen shadoweave shoulders , robe , boots so i have the set. Is fire destructo that much of a difference with a fire mage or should i just chill and play with destruction shadow. Thanks for answering my noob warlock questions.
What I’ve read is they say that destro fire is better personal DPS, but not better raid DPS. The reason is because a shadowbolt spamming warlock will put up the shadow vulnerability debuff and that helps out every warlock and spriests.
So if you’re going to be a dungeon hero with your mage friend then going all in on destro fire is the better move. If you want to be part of a guild and their raid team you will probably be coordinating with them on that part. You don’t need every destro lock to be SB spamming, but you’ll want more than one and an Afflock won’t be critting as often as a Destro will.
Keep in mind destro fire should be chugging flame caps too. To me it doesn’t seem worth it, but I haven’t looked into how big of a disparity it is and I am trying to be my guild’s Afflock anyways. I don’t actually think fire is a massive improvement over shadow but if it is it’s only under specific conditions and those conditions aren’t going to be met constantly. Guides have already pointed out that if arcfire isn’t popular than destro fire is pretty much dead.
