Client data and build assumptions

Client-table preview: positions, rank caps and spell IDs are checked against build 1.60.1.69913. These readable tables may retain legacy layout. Five points per tier, full-rank prerequisites and the 11-point Level 20 budget are planning assumptions, not proof of final live Beta rules. Missing rank text stays unknown.

Direct spell damage

Improved Shadow Bolt and Bane establish the direct-casting route before Shadowburn. The allocation stops at eleven points and does not imply access to deep Destruction talents.
Compare completed casts, interruption losses and the mana needed before the next pull.

Why these Destruction talents

Improved Shadow Bolt and Bane establish the direct-casting route before Shadowburn. The allocation stops at eleven points and does not imply access to deep Destruction talents.

This route invests less in sustained Affliction effects and pet support. Judge it within the same encounter length and recovery conditions.

Exact point order

Improved Shadow Bolt 5 → Bane 5 → Shadowburn 1

Load the allocation to inspect each selected talent. The order and spend are editorial; readable client fields do not prove that the route is optimal.

How to evaluate this route

Compare completed casts, interruption losses and the mana needed before the next pull.

Destruction offers a direct-cast comparison for group pulls. Watch the tank target and crowd control: a damage-over-time effect on the wrong enemy can make an otherwise legal allocation unhelpful to the party.
