Destruction Warlock rotation assistant for World of Warcraft
Havoc split onto the second target before the Chaos Bolt is out.
Rice Rotations reads your Destruction Warlock from the game picture, decides which ability comes next, and presses the key for it from a second PC or a virtual machine. It runs on World of Warcraft Midnight retail and on Mists of Pandaria Classic, and the profile is included in the same subscription as the other thirty-nine specializations.
How the Destruction Warlock profile plays
Destruction is Immolate upkeep, Conflagrate charges and Chaos Bolt spending. Rice keeps Immolate rolling on the right targets, spends fragments so shards are not wasted, and fires Chaos Bolt where it lands rather than into a mob about to die.
DPS is about never wasting a global. Rice keeps your builder and spender priority correct through procs and haste changes, lines burst cooldowns up with the window they are meant for, and switches to the multi-target priority when the pull is actually stacked rather than when a timer says so.
The profile reacts to the pull instead of replaying a fixed list: interrupts fire on casts that matter, dispels go out when a debuff lands, and cooldowns are held for the burst window rather than used the moment they come up. Dozens of Destruction Warlock settings decide how aggressive or how conservative that behaviour is, so a raid night and a Mythic+ push can use different profiles of the same spec.
Cooldowns and burst windows
Infernal is opened with shards banked so the window is Chaos Bolts, Havoc is spent where it doubles real damage rather than pressed on cooldown, and Channel Demonfire and Cataclysm are worked into the same window.
What the Destruction Warlock rotation handles
- Immolate uptime across targets
- Soul Shards and fragments spent without waste
- Havoc used where it doubles real damage
- Pet Spell Lock on interrupts, Singe Magic dispels, Unending Resolve on damage
Raid, Mythic+ and the rest
Single target keeps the shard economy clean. On packs it uses Havoc and Rain of Fire as the cleave engine and reads target count and lifespan before switching the spender.
Raid nights, Mythic+ keystones, delves, world content and levelling alts. Rice Rotations is built and tuned for PvE, so there are no arena or battleground profiles. The desktop client is Windows only.
Setup and safety
Nothing is attached to the game: there is no injection, no memory reading and no unlocker. Rice runs on a second PC or a virtual machine, reads your gaming PC as a video stream and sends keystrokes back, so the machine running World of Warcraft only ever sees keyboard input arriving.
- Built and tuned for PvE. No arena or battleground profiles.
- Midnight retail is supported.
- Classic is Mists of Pandaria only, so no Era, no Wrath, no other ruleset.
Destruction Warlock questions
- Does it use Havoc properly?
- Havoc is spent where there is a second target worth copying damage onto, with settings for how eagerly to use it in Mythic+.
- Will it cast Chaos Bolt into a dying mob?
- It weighs the cast against the target, so shards are not thrown into something that dies before the bolt lands.
