Mythic + Guide Overview

In this guide we will cover the different builds of Affliction, Demonology and Destruction that are played in Mythic +. At times, it may be necessary to choose varying talents for utility, CC or that better support your group composition. 

Affliction has the opton of either Soul Harvester or Hellcaller in Mythic +. Soul Harvester brings with it a more upfront bust profile and stronger single target. Hellcaller however, brings a strong AOE profile via Wither and Malevolence, making it the best choice overall.

Soul Harvester Affliction Mythic +

Hellcaller Affliction Mythic +

Demonology brings with it a strong, cleave damage profile with its main cooldown (Demonic Tyrant) being a short, 1-minute CD. It is the most consistent of the three specs and while it may not be as strong on the high-end is still quite powerful and arguably better in lower to mid-tier keys. 

Diabolist Demonology Mythic + AOE

Destruction Warlock has two different builds shown below, one being Hellcaller based while the other is Diabolist. Currently, Hellcaller is seeing more play. 

Hellcaller Destruction Mythic + AOE

The Hellcaller version of Destruction opts to play Cataclysm over Inferno (due to its mass Wither application) and Channel Demonfire to permanently maintain the effect in AOE. With this profile, the spec feels quite smooth to play in both Single Target and AOE. 

Hellcaller also receives the Malevolence cooldown as a capstone, which you will want to cast every minute AFTER your Wither's have been applied, granting Haste and bonus damage/Wither stacks to all targets. 

Diabolist Destruction Mythic + AOE

Diabolist Demonology in Mythic + also plays the Cataclysm talent, similar to Hellcaller. 

The frequent spending of Soul Shards also means that you will be summoning Diabolist Demons more frequently, which also empower your own abilities with spells such as Ruination (large meteor effect) and Infernal Bolt. The Diabolist Demons themselves do also cleave.
