Not like you care but the spec was gutted before start of expantion and now you buffed every possible spec in the game except destro. Cant play m+, raids is outperformed by almost all specs in single target and even in cleave that is spposed to be the “strong” part its done. I won’t talk about pvp that all classes either cast and run or have no cast time at all …. and you have to satnd there to cast a 2 sec spell that hits for 90k to 100k ..
Is there even a team on this s* company that we even pay sub to monitor these sht?
There is ton of data online about class perfromance and it takes you 2 months to do a balance run … joke !
Destruction being bad has become something like a tradition since Legion. It was decent during the later seasons of BFA but in the consequent xpacks, it has been fluctuating from really bad to okish.
Currently, it definitely works but it’s by no means competitive. In other words, it’s fine for world content, low level M+ and probably normal (even heroic?) raiding but anything more than that, you’d just be crippling yourself by choosing it. I play it because I always did and I like it but only simming myself with the exact same gear as demo was disheartening: Demo sims for almost double the dps of destro at least for M+ action.
At this point, one could assume that no real improvement of the spec is in order. I don’t know why Blizz are treating it like that but if I had to guess, I’d say that probably very few people play it and even fewer in endgame content so there is no real benefit from taking care of it. Or someone really hates it for some reason although that’s unlikely.
