 Shadowburn | 1/1 | Instantly blasts the target for 65 to 73 Shadow damage. If a non-trivial target dies within 8 sec of being hit with Shadowburn, the caster gains a Soul Shard. |

 Conflagrate | 1/1 | Ignites a target that is already afflicted by your Immolate spell, dealing 88 to 110 Fire damage and consuming your Immolate effect. |
 Bane of Havoc | 1/1 | Afflicts the target for 5 min, causing 15% of all damage done by the Warlock to other targets to also be dealt to the cursed target. Bane of Havoc is limited to 1 target, and only one Bane per Warlock can be active on any one target. |
 Shadow and Flame | 2/5 | Hitting an enemy with Conflagrate increases all Shadow damage you deal by 4% for 20 sec, and hitting an enemy with Shadowburn increases all Fire damage you deal by 4% for 20 sec. In addition, Conflagrate has a 40% chance not to consume Immolate, and Shadowburn has a 40% chance to instantly refund a Soul Shard. |
Why Destruction Raid DPS takes these talents
Ruin doubles your destruction crit bonus. Bane of Havoc splashes damage to a second target. Shadow and Flame scales both schools at once.
