-Chaos bolt cast time reduced to 1.5 sec baseline, 15 sec cd, generate 1 full soul shard.
-Immolate instant cast ( cause who the heck still needs a cast time for a dot in 2022).
New proc : immolate dot ticks have a chance to reset the cd of chaos bolt or rain of fire and make it instant cast.
Legion artifact portals as the new shard spenders , instant cast costs 2 shards etc.
- Aoe changes -
Rain of fire 2 sec cast time , 8 sec cd, generates shard bits for each enemy hit.
Infernal now has no cd and costs 3 shards.
Fire n Brimstone : toggle with no cd, incinerate/chaos bolt deal 40% damage but hits all targets around your primary target, generating 2 shard bits per enemy struck.
The above changes would make destro extremely fluid and much more snappy and enjoyable compared to the current destro theme.
My intent was to shift infernal away from being a cd and more of an aoe bot , i think destruction and affliction should not have to rely on summons for their main damage.
It was a toss up between having demo have all the pet summons or making infernal into an aoe spender, either way i wouldn’t mind if it was removed from destro completely.
The ST portion of the wishlist is what i feel destro truly needs, a proc + less reliance on a hard cast spender.
As you know locks are the only class in the game with a cast time on their spenders and i find that wrong. People call it a theme due to fantasy but there is no need to have such shackles bound to us anymore when the game is not centered around low mobility fights in most end game choices.
Also spam casting 1-2 buttons for damage is boring
