Hello. Simple question do you guys think Destro is broken ? I was reading American pvp arena forums and several topics were about ,how Destro is broken, and ,how chaos bolt killed them, I do understand that with infernal up you can do lot of damage especially in bg. What do you think about this ? I am afraid that blizzard will listen to them after all and nerf lock again 
Today, my chaos bolt hit a player with 124K damages. Pretty sure it can go higher. Obv it was with infernal up. I donât think itâs broken because beside that we donât have mobility.

Locks working like turrets, we have no mobility. Burning rush it canât be way for it because cost HP is to big.
So we must have something instead of. But I still say it;s not to enough because many classes have much more bigger dps. Also most of spells are castable, also our stun (this is totally stupid), so are easy to interrupted.
So for for me chaos bolt isnât dangerous as suppose to be for ppl which thinking about nerf.
Well, yeah in battlegrounds with infernal up is okay but Chaos Bolt, doesnât feel strong as it did before. Or maybe itâs just my item levelâŚ
âŚthis sounded like âor maybe itâs maybelineâ advertisement in my head.
I wouldnât say broken tho.
Destruction is a good spec, and I like it.
Is it broken? No.
It is (in my opinion) a fairly easy spec to out-play. Our damage is very heavily focused into Chaos Bolt, and we only get the BIG numbers during infernal uptime.
If you save your kicks for CB and try to stun us once or twice, or pillar us, during infernal then you wonât have too many problems against your average Destro player.
However if you are silly enough to ignore a warlock in favour of a squishy-looking healer or DPS buddy then yes, you will have an issue because we can 100-0 you during our burst window.
Itâs not broken. Good, but can be outplayed.

too much cb dmg, too tanky with armor and mastery
If people are talking about broken damage wise then the answer is no, oitside of cds destro isnt that deadly, if you use your kicks and sudo cc on chaosbolt you should be fine.
If you mean broken play style wise then the answer is yes. There is too much damage tunnelled into chaosbolt which is fine but it makes playing that character boring and too easy to cc. Destro is tanky but with the current play style its needed. But it would be better making other abilities hit harder to tone down CB, also making us slightly less tanky but give locks a tad of mobility, even kiljaden cunning would be something .

Most of you donât seem to understand why or how they balance things.
Itâs all based around 3vs3.
So you donât just consider what the outcome is in a 1vs1. Can your healer back you up while you blast your target? Can you keep the target pinned down with the secondary DPS?
And thatâs just scratching the surface.
Warlock is broken because they can and will land those insanely chunky chaos bolts.
It kinda is.
Yeah destro is broken donât listen to these biased destro locks

Then tell me how destro is balanced around 3v3? Gameplay wise not number wise.
Our strenght in 3v2/2v2/battlegrounds are lies not in our toolkit but in our teammates, if they will cover us, allowing us to cast our spells then we may bring the raw damage on the table. Outside of that, there is nothing current warlocks can do in any PvP scenario.
Yes, you may say that you can beat people in 1v1 or can kill someone in BGS, but ask yourself, is 80% of these kills are based purely on your skill or amazing warlock gameplay? Or your opponent was just braindead as class design team that designed warlocks in legion/BFA?
Warlocks suffer more then any other class right now, because in our very core lies ideas that canât work on current game hardware (engine, servers and etc). Demo is the pure testament of how bad warlocks are in the techical side of the class design. Affli is just bad, it kinda works but it doesnât make the spec good in any form or shape. Destro is one trick pony, once in every 3 mins they can obliterate people⌠if destro wonât be focused, CCed, interupted, or enemy wonât just hide behind the pillar when you will summon an infernal.
Yeah a freaking good design. Mmff i can feel how geniuses of blizzard worked days and nights to bring us the best warlocks iteration in YEARS.

1vs1 and 2vs2 isnât even considered by the pvp team.
Itâs all about 3vs3, I already told you that. Your toolkit and damage is based around your 2 team-mates and how they can assist you in your shortcomings. I already covered this.

They werenât broken enough to win Blizzcon though. I believe that was easily overtaken by Mages. Literally, all three Mage specs are broken. But no, lets cry about Warlocks instead.
Lets also forget that MLD had a strong showing at blizzcon or that it is one of the strongest ladder comps?
And mages being broken does not mean warlocks cant also be broken.
I like Chaos Bolt its broken and hits hard, but Destruction Warlock is pretty new to me.
And MLD consists of what?, MAGE, Warlock and Druid. Youâre only further proving my point. I never said other classes canât be broken so I donât really get what youâre trying to prove here.
Dunno, what are you trying to say?
Iâm afraid it will be too complicated for you, so letâs leave it at that.
Ah so youâre unable to explain, got it.
