Welcome to our Destruction Warlock starter guide, which covers everything you need to start playing a new character in Shadowlands. While our other guide pages go into more individual detail, this simple starter guide covers all the basics in one place, whether you're a new Destruction Warlock, a returning player to Shadowlands, hardcore, or casual alike, it's the best place to get a beginners overview on the class. Included are basic talent builds, simplified rotations, stats, legendary recommendations, and more to get you started as quickly as possible.
Please keep in mind that this page is meant to get players started quickly as an introduction, and does not contain much in the way of detailed explanations, mechanics, competitive options, gearing, simulation comparisons, or nuance. For more in-depth information, including all those optimizations and more, check out the complete Destruction Warlock Guide pages linked in the navigation on the left-hand side of the page, and if you're leveling up in Shadowlands, you can take a look at our

About the Author

Lock One Stop Shop
a website by Warlocks for Warlocks.
Best Destruction Warlock Covenant
Choosing a covenant when playing a Destruction Warlock will depend heavily on a few things; what type of content you're doing and how much you play the other two specs. All-round, Night Fae has been the #1 choice so far. This is both due to the strength of the soulbind tree as well as the
Forme d’âme
ability. Another big plus is it allows you to also play both the other specs very freely, only limited by your conduit energy. For Destruction specifically, both Necrolord and Kyrian are also very viable, but these two options aren't nearly as attractive if you would like to play either Affliction og Demonology. Venthyr is far behind and not a viable option for any content.

Best Destruction Warlock Legendaries
Braises des Azj’Aqir
Available Slots:
Legs & Back
Crafting Preference:
Legs > Back
Secondaries to use:
Haste/Mastery
The strongest option for Destruction. This is due to the increased amount of
Conflagration
casts. If combined with
Brasier rugissant
this can be strong both on single and 2 targets. Raids usually consist both of single-target and cleave, perfect for this bonus.
Sceau d’invocation supérieure de Wilfred
Available Slots:
Wrist & Finger
Crafting Preference:
Wrist > Finger
Secondaries to use:
Haste/Mastery
This effect can actually also be very strong on fights where you're able to get more
Invocation : infernal
due to a high amount of Soul Shards spent. This can be ideal for a fight such as the Stone Legion Generals in Castle Nathria where you constantly have more adds spawn, allowing you to generate and spend more shards.
Destruction Warlock Legendaries Guide
Destruction Warlock Talents
Single Target
Notes
This setup offers you solid Single Target damage while still being able to cleave. Especially with
Brasier rugissant
also being applied through
Tumulte
.
This setup is even stronger with the
Braises des Azj’Aqir
Legendary bonus. More
Conflagration
casts means more
Retour de flamme
stacks through
Feu soudain
and more uptime on
Brasier rugissant
.
AoE
Notes
If there are enough targets, you can swap out
Feu et soufre
for
Inferno
.
This setup revolves around your
Invocation : infernal
cooldown and proccing as many extra infernals through
Pluie du chaos
as you can.
This setup is even stronger when paired with the
Sceau d’invocation supérieure de Wilfred
Legendary bonus. This allows you to reduce the cooldown of your
Invocation : infernal
significantly.
Alternatively, if you need more on-demand burst, you can swap out
Conducteur d’âme
for
Âme sombre : Instabilité
.

Destruction Warlock Stats
Unlike previous expansions, primary stats such as Intellect are much more important than they used to be, and secondary stats are close enough together that item level is usually more important factor when it comes to choosing gear. You can find out more about how stats work, including sample stat weights and scaling plots in the
Stats Guide
, or get an overview of the best-in-slot gear to look for from dungeons and raids in the
Destruction Warlock Gear Guide
.
Intellect > Haste > Mastery > Crit > Versatility
Intellect
: Increases all damage done by abilities.
Critical Strike
