We’ve noticed some points that could benefit from additional clarification.
- Demonfire Barrage will cast Incinerate for Destruction rather than Shadow Bolt. This is missing from our blog post and will be added.
- Diabolic Ritual will be tuned on a per specialization basis. This means that final numbers may be different for each specialization to achieve a similar cadence between the two, however, the overall mechanic will remain the same.
Thank you for the thoughts and discussion so far!
The main concern this post addresses is the way the Diabolic Ritual talent works.
Players have expressed concerns on how Diabolic Ritual would work between Demonology and Destruction, as the entire talent tree is based on Soul Shard consumption, and as of right now in Dragonflight, Demonology generates and spend shards a lot faster than Destruction, making Diabolic Ritual seem that much more powerful for Demonology players.
