Destruction rotation questions, is there really a priority.

[Juster]

Does it matter if I cast immolate or corruption before one or the other at the start of my rotation? I see some posts where people start with immo and some start with corruption. Let me know. Also do I burn conflag then chaos bolt > incinerate spam, or chaos bolt>conflag>incinerate spam

[DreamOfTheRood]

In all honesty, destro really doesn't have access to nearly enough dots, so you should use what you have at the start of the rotation. Corr, CoA, then Incinerate three times, Immo, Conflag. By then you should be able to reapply your dots so do that and maybe throw in a Life Tap if you need it. By doing this rotation, you shouldnt ever have to use CB.

On a more serious note, don't use Corruption if you're destro. CoE or CoD if you've been blessed with a boomkin or shadow priest, then immo, conf, CB incinerate until things need refreshing.

Why would you incin before you immolate? You're also wasting time by immolating and immediately conflagging.

[ribbad]

Immo then Burn Conflag right after [If you have glyph of Conflag] which you better or you fail already, then CB then Incin spam until everything else is up / needs refreshing.

If you didn't realize... DreamOfTheRood was joking with the first portion of the post. :P

Posts like this just need a 'read the sticky' reply and a lock.

[lukerocks]

its Glyph of Immolate, Glyph of Conflagorate, and Glyph of Incinerate. and the rotation is CoE, Immolate, Conflagorate, Chaos Bolt, Incinerate x3 or 4, then get another conflag before immolate falls off. then just refresh everything. if a Boomkin or Unholy DK is in the raid use Curse of Doom instead of CoE. Never use Corruption, its a waste of a gcd. although you can use Corruption if you are moving alot.

TL,DR my answer is - The priority is keeping Conflagorate and Chaos Bolt on CD at ALL times.

You want to use use CoD or something, although i prefer to use it after pyroclasm. If you Immo->conflag the time it takes for the server to enable conflag you're losing a bit of time.

You only use CoD if someone else is putting up the CoE debuff.

Thats rather obvious. I'm stating that if you use CoD after you get the Pyroclasm buff its better.

[harky]

That's actually the opposite of the truth. CoD is worse if Pyroclasm is up, not better. Pyroclasm only reduces the cast time / GCD of Destruction spells. CoD is not a Destruction spell and gets no benefit.

its Glyph of Immolate, Glyph of Conflagorate, and Glyph of Incinerate.

The Immolate glyph is only better until ~200 spirit. After that Life Tap is better. Considering how low the spirit requirement is there's pretty much no level of raiding where Immolate is better. Should be Life Tap, Conflag and Incinerate.

[brolwowns]

hey here is my roation and reasons why pulling off about 6-7k in most raids with it

1st (depending of there is a unholy dk or moonkin) immolate then Doom if there is either... and Curse of elements if there are non.
2nd immolate if there wasent either (skip this point if there was)
3rd warlocks have huge agro problems so if you use Inci/chaos bolt or Conflagrate and get a good crit then you will probrably pull agro so
3rd corruption (after this time never us it again unless you are running)
4th chaoes bolt (confragrate would be best but at this early stage agro is an issue
5th confragrate (now your roration begings
since time on immolate changes and changed the work from here is like this

renew immolate each time it reaches 1-2 sek dont cast the last spell if you know it will run out
use chaos bolt and confragrate as soon as they are ready however dont stand still waiting for them if there is 1-2 sek left on them cast the last spell then use them

if there are no agro problems at all then at the beginning use this

Immolate/doom/elements depending
remember if you dont use elements using doom is a must
confragrate
cb
inci

renew doom as soon as u can
renew immolate 1-2 sek left
cast of cb and confr
then just renew

I think you are confusing Pyroclasm with Backdraft. CoD will neither be affected by nor consume a Backdraft charge. Some people claim that you should use CoD after Conflag so that you might get the Pyroclasm buff. I might be inclined to agree, but historically CoD has not been affected by any damn buff whatsoever, apart from straight SP buffs. I've asked if anyone could care to verify whether it is in fact affected (I suspect not) and nada so far.

I do agree with harky though; it craps up our threads to have to rehaggle every damn detail of what is readily available in the stickies. I propose we adopt a catchphrase to use for these sorts of new threads so that it becomes a cultural phenomenon. My suggestion is:

Stickies m&%#$ F$&%er; can you use them?

Too harsh?/

[Starstruk]

corruption if ya can. immo if u want to play it safe or ur corruption will be a waste for sum reason. :-\

[Gahouf!]

A priority list becomes a rotation if you draw it out, just a very, very, very, very, VERY (very) long one.

[Nitroux]

1.Curse of Tongues
2.Shadowfury
3.Shadowbolt x 10
4.Refresh Curse of Tongues
5.Summon Felhunter

Rinse&Repeat!

Don't use curruption, start with immolate then chaos bolt then conflag, filler is incinerate, try to refresh immolate before a conflag.

[kaijyuu]

The best destro rotation is definitely CoA -> Corruption -> Searing pain spam -> Throw a soulfire in there sometimes.



(no really immo -> curse/chaos bolt/conflag(if possible) -> conflag/CB -> incinerate until cooldowns are up -> keep immo up and hit conflag/CB whenever they're up.


Corruption is worthless unless you're moving around and already at full mana and don't need to lifetap. Hell refreshing glyph of life tap is better than throwing a corruption)
