like the title says, has anyone found out what the destro artifact hidden ability is?

[Fallensaint]

I don't think anyone's found any of the hidden abilities on the warlock weapons yet.

wowhead recently put up an article that shows many of the artifact hidden abilities, the affliction & demonology artifact hidden abilities were shown but not destro.

90% sure this is a bug but if you melee a target with the staff it activated the 30% plains walker run buff from the talent tree.

I reported it as a bug over a week ago and still no fix though... So maybe intended?

Just because they had traits listed in an incomplete guide doesn't mean those are the actual hidden abilities, like have been discovered for other specs. The one given for Afflic is just an outdated description of the old "kill Tormented Spirits for mana regen" mechanic that got changed with Reap Soul. The Demo one listed is all the voice lines for the Skull, which while cool isn't at all secret and has no mechanical effect.

So Fallensaint is entirely correct. Look at some of the actual mechanical secrets listed for other specs, like reviving on death or stacking a buff off killing certain mob types or having certain world mobs be friendly instead of hostile. None of the equivalent Warlocks secrets have been discovered at all.

You are correct in saying these abilities posted in the guide on wowhead may not be the official hidden abilities.It's hard to say what they are with absolute certainty until we get either an official response on what the hidden abilities are or until the game is released and the players find them out as a community. As of right now though I take it that these are, or at least most likely going to be,the hidden abilities for the artifact weapons(till at least proven wrong).

Blizz has also stated the artifact hidden abilities are not even or distributed equally in terms of effects, that is to say not all of them have some sort of active effect or buff. Some are as simple as a cosmetic effect. So until proven otherwise afflic. and demo hidden effects (or at least their estimated hidden effects)are shown on wowhead.

There are hidden abilities?

Will that hidden abilities buff the pathetic Noodle Bolt? Because that should explain why that spell exists.

There are hidden abilities?

the hidden abilities vary from cosmetic effects, unique dialogue, character buffs, and gameplay effects.
