Destruction Warlock PvP Best Arena Compositions — The War Within (11.0.7)
Team composition in 2v2 or 3v3 Arena is very important, because not all classes work well together. Here, we give you the best compositions you can have for your Destruction Warlock (i.e., the best classes to pair with it).
This page is part of our Destruction Warlock PvP Guide.
2v2 Arena
In 2v2 Arena, there are not many options. Your goal is to avoid as much damage
as possible by kiting with Demonic Circle: Teleport and
Curse of Exhaustion while throwing out instant damage with
Conflagrate,
Shadowburn and
Wither. Creating windows to
cast
Chaos Bolt can help close games out. It is important to note that
if you are interrupted while casting
Fear, you can still cast
Chaos Bolt.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 2v2:
- Destruction Warlock + Restoration Druid
- Destruction Warlock + Discipline Priest;
3v3 Arena
Your role in 3v3 is similar to 2v2 Arena. You are trying to find a time to
use Mortal Coil on both DPS and cast multiple
Chaos Bolts on
your kill target. In the meantime, avoiding damage by utilizing
Fear
and your mobility. It is best to be playing with another caster so you are not the
only person being interrupted. Use
Fear on the enemy healer and have
one of your teammates stun your kill target. It is
important to note that
Fear should be cast almost always unless someone is already
Feared. This allows you to cast
Chaos Bolt as the Feared person cannot interrupt, and
allows you to bait interrupts from the other players on the enemy team.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 3v3:
- RLP/Pal (Destruction Warlock + Subtlety Rogue + Discipline Priest / Holy Paladin)
- MLP/Pal (Destruction Warlock + Frost Mage + Discipline Priest / Holy Paladin)
