Affliction at level 20

Training dummy, your Voidwalker on it

Wand or dagger, Voidwalker, Improved Corruption from your Talent Path at 20.

Action bar

• Shadow Bolt110 Mana · 3 sec cast
• Drain Life55 Mana · 5 sec channel
• Life Tap

Opener

Bane of AgonyCorruptionImmolateShadow Bolt

Priority

1. 

   Bane of Agony first: cheap and long, its damage builds up over 24 seconds.

2. 

   Corruption on the target at all times. In Forever it can crit.

3. 

   Immolate last: its direct hit pulls the most threat, let your Voidwalker hold the target first.

4. 

   Life Tap when your mana runs low and your health is fine: health into mana, and your DoTs keep ticking.

5. 

   Drain Life when your health drops below half: it heals you while your DoTs keep working.

6. 

   Shadow Bolt to fill the gaps while your DoTs roll.

Tips

• Send the Voidwalker in first and let it take the pull before your spells land.
• Finish with your wand between casts. It costs no mana and fires after you stand still for half a second, but spell power does not raise its damage in the beta.
• Drain Soul rarely gives a Soul Shard from its damage ticks at launch. Let it land the killing tick when you need a shard.

Destruction at level 20

Training dummy, your Voidwalker on it

Wand or dagger, Voidwalker, Bane from your Talent Path at 20 for a faster Shadow Bolt.

Action bar

• Immolate81 Mana · 1.5 sec cast
• Shadow Bolt99 Mana · 2.5 sec cast
• Shadowburn95 Mana · 15 sec cooldown
• Life Tap

Opener

ImmolateShadow Bolt

Priority

1. 

   Immolate first so its burn runs while you cast.

2. 

   Target under 20% and a Soul Shard in your bag: Shadowburn finishes it instantly.

3. 

   Life Tap when your mana runs low and your health is fine: health into mana, and your DoTs keep ticking.

4. 

   Shadow Bolt as your main spell. Bane cuts its cast time.

Tips

• Cast Immolate early so Shadowburn is ready by the time the target is low.
• Destructive Reach only stretches your Destruction spells. Fear is an Affliction spell, its extra range comes from Grim Reach in the Affliction tree.
• Cataclysm makes your Destruction spells 10% cheaper, so Shadow Bolt and Immolate last longer on one bar of mana.

Affliction at level 60

Training dummy, your Felhunter on it

Spell power gear, Felhunter, the Deep Affliction build with Nightfall and Wrack.

Action bar

• Bane of Agony215 Mana
• Corruption340 Mana
• Siphon Life365 Mana
• Wrack200 Mana · 6 sec channel
• Shadow Bolt380 Mana · 3 sec cast
• Life Tap

Opener

Bane of AgonyCorruptionSiphon LifeWrackShadow Bolt

Priority

1. 

   Shadow Trance: your next Shadow Bolt is instant. Fire it right away.

2. 

   Corruption before it drops: your hardest DoT with Shadow Mastery, and Pandemic doubles its crit bonus.

3. 

   Bane of Agony refreshed as soon as it runs out.

4. 

   Siphon Life: more damage over time that heals you.

5. 

   Wrack while your DoTs roll: it hurts on its own and makes the target take more from them for 6 seconds.

6. 

   Life Tap when your mana runs low and your health is fine: health into mana, and your DoTs keep ticking.

7. 

   Shadow Bolt to fill the time between refreshes.

Tips

• Pandemic doubles the crit bonus of Corruption, Bane of Agony, the Drains, Siphon Life and Wrack. Keep them all rolling.
• Wrack is new in Forever: treat it as part of your DoT cycle, not as a burst button.
• Nightfall gives Corruption and Wrack a chance to make your next Shadow Bolt instant.

Demonology at level 60

Training dummy, your Succubus on it

Spell power gear, Succubus with Demonic Pact and Master Demonologist, Improved Shadow Bolt.

Action bar

• Corruption340 Mana · 2 sec cast
• Immolate342 Mana · 1.5 sec cast
• Shadow Bolt342 Mana · 2.5 sec cast
• Life Tap

Opener

CorruptionImmolateShadow Bolt

Priority

1. 

   Corruption on the target, steady damage while your demon does the heavy lifting.

2. 

   Immolate for Fire damage on top.

3. 

   Life Tap when your mana runs low and your health is fine: health into mana, and your DoTs keep ticking.

4. 

   Shadow Bolt as your main spell. Its crits leave the Improved Shadow Bolt debuff for 20% more Shadow damage.

Tips

• Sacrifice the Imp for Demonic Sacrifice, then summon the Succubus. Demonic Pact keeps the sacrifice bonus while she fights.
• Soul Link shares part of the damage you take with your demon. Keep it up whenever you expect hits.
• The Improved Shadow Bolt debuff only boosts your own damage in the beta, not your group's.

Destruction at level 60

Training dummy, your Succubus on it

Spell power and crit gear, the Shadowflame build with Ruin, Shadow and Flame and Incinerate.

Action bar

• Immolate342 Mana · 1.5 sec cast
• Conflagrate230 Mana · 10 sec cooldown
• Shadow Bolt342 Mana · 2.5 sec cast
• Incinerate293 Mana · 2 sec cast
• Shadowburn329 Mana · 15 sec cooldown
• Life Tap

Opener

ImmolateConflagrateShadow Bolt

Priority

1. 

   Immolate once, Conflagrate needs it and no longer eats it with Shadow and Flame.

2. 

   Conflagrate every time it is ready: a big Fire hit, and Shadow and Flame gives you 20% more Shadow damage for 20 seconds.

3. 

   Under 20%: Shadowburn, and Shadow and Flame refunds the shard at once.

4. 

   Life Tap when your mana runs low and your health is fine: health into mana, and your DoTs keep ticking.

5. 

   Shadow Bolt while Shadow and Flame is up. Ruin doubles your crit bonus.

6. 

   Incinerate otherwise: 25% more damage while Immolate burns.

Tips

• Shadow and Flame is the whole build: Conflagrate keeps Immolate and gives 20% more Shadow damage, Shadowburn 20% more Fire damage, each for 20 seconds.
• Ruin doubles the crit bonus of your Destruction spells, so crit gear counts more than usual.
• Bane of Havoc marks a second target so your spells hit it too, useful when two adds stand close.
