In this article, we list the buffs, debuffs and useful abilities
that a Destruction Warlock brings to a raid. We also list
equivalent buffs and debuffs that other classes provide.
The other articles of our Destruction Warlock guide can be accessed
from the table of contents on the left.
Dark Intent |
- Buff that links the Warlock to another raid member. This has two
beneficial effects:
- Both players receive 3% increased haste
- Each time one of the two players causes a critical strike effect
with a periodic damage or periodic healing spell, the other player's
periodic damage and periodic healing is increased.
For the Warlock, the damage increase is 3% for 7 seconds, stacking up to 3 times.
For the other player, the damage or healing increase is 1% for 7 seconds, also stacking up to 3 times.

Conjures Healthstones. Healthstones heal players for 45% of their base
health. Players are limited to having one Healthstone in their inventory, but
the Soulwell lasts for 2 minutes, meaning that if a player has already used
their healthstone during the first part of the fight, they can take a new one.

Ritual of Summoning |
Creates a Summoning Portal, allowing raid or party members to be summoned
to any location (only works outside of combat). |
Create Soulstone |
- Conjures a Soulstone.
- when used on a live raid member, the Soulstone allows them to
resurrect themselves after dying (including during combat)
- when used on a dead raid member, the Soulstone acts as a combat
resurrection.
