Warlock Changes and Explanations in War Within Alpha: May 21st
Destruction in on the stage in this week's Alpha build, starting with Soul Fire moving away from its execute role and more into a crit-focused one. Infernals will now be more easily reached in the talent tree, with a more central position. The main spec talent tree has also been tightened up, with fewer talents and talent points available/needed, as Blizzard look for feedback on the proper balance of the tree.
