Hi all,
Do you recommend destro lock atm? Do you think its fun? Lmk
It is the most fun, but too weak to be viable.

it was VERY fun in the early beta, then they started destroying the fun (decimation, avatar of destruction). Furthermore, the damage is really very low, and the 5% buff he will receive at the next reset will change practically nothing.
Very static spec, with bland defenses, with little damage “but it also has flaws”
At present the real destruction has become the affliction, especially Soul Harvester
Oh cool, so it is not just me. All the specs need a little more tuning.
From what i have noticed, shard gen is very inconsistant.
At one moment you are overflowing and another you have 0 shards and are spamming incinerate just to get a ROF off.
Same goes for Aoe dmg. Its lacking and its noticable, but m+ will tell a clearer picture as all of your aoe is now from ROF. Before 20% was from your Avatar’s aoe pulse.
Something that is needed is to change the current Avatar node into a choice node where you can choose the current one and a aoe verison so you can spec into more passiv aoe dmg and not rely on only ROF.
TDLR:
No i dont recommend it as the gameplay is not that good for the effort put in, rather go demonology.
I want to like Destro more than the 2 other specs but I honestly hate how you AoE as a Destro. Also on a lot of classes you can talent to have decent single target and AoE but on Destro you have to sacrifice so much single target potential.
demo and destro suck
I don’t understand why they give destro a hero talent where you need to spend soulshards and most abilties they use don’t even require soulshards
Demo diabolist great concept but annoying to cast when you need to avoid aoe or tank just pull mob out of range when you hard casting
Wish destro had a more focus on fire and the fire spells hero talents
Destro is just a wannebe fire mage spec
Idk why they trying so hard to make destro “bloated” spec, getting similar to affliction.
I’m enjoying diabolist destro lock with a soulfire build, it feels good to pay and has less moments of flailing around without soulshards because of the way soulfire procs and the diabolist enhanced abilities alleviate a lot of my soulshard generation issues. However, I honestly do miss the older destro lock when chaos bolts looked and felt powerful to use after sending waves of fire and hefty shadow bolts at my enemies rather than what we have now - flinging little embers and green globs rapidly. Diabolist once again gives the spec some of its much needed heftiness back and I like the way it can walk the line between fire and demon summoning now but it does need to become a bit more impactful.
thankfully Destro has stayed very very consistent thorough the years so it is, in my personal opinion, ALWAYS FUN
some might find it “boring” because it pretty much feels like doing the same thing every single expansion, but that’s why I love it because I can’\t get disappointed with it (as of now at least 
) unlike a certain other spec that got completely deleted from the game because the devs have not a clue of what they are doing
Destro is in a pretty good state gameplay-wise, and I do enjoy it. Especially builds that utilise rift and other spells that just add a bit more complexity to it. Not much has changed from DF compared to Demo, but the tree in general is much better now. The reduction of 2 point talent nodes and shifting around of important talents allows you to get the good stuff a lot easier. Soulfire is actually viable as well, which is nice. It’s better than it was last expansion.
My only real complaint is the same one I’ve had for the past 3 expansions: I want Infernal as a permanent pet unique to Destro. What is the point in giving us these cool customization options (like purple/blasphemy and classic Abyssal) when it’s on a checks notes 2 minute cooldown? Come on. It’s time that perma Infernal made a comeback.
Maybe im a minority but I enjoy Hellcaller in solo play (open world and delves). I took all abilities in talent trees and stuff just melts. I tried affliction and demonology with other hero talents, even destro with diabolist and everything else feels very slow.
Seems to be hitting ok with Soul Fire and Chaos Bolt + those little portals; aside from that, yeah.
In pvp diabolist pets are random and do their damage onto enemy pets it feels awful
