So I've been soloing Warbringers on my realm for a while now, at first with the Affliction kiting spec, but after the buff that's no longer possible, so I spent a little while fiddling around with specs and I came up with a great spec that works pretty well for it, so I'm just throwing it here.
My Warlock is pretty overgeared at il516, but I've seen the spec working for warlocks as low as 490. Playing more defensively, it's probably going to work well for lesser geared warlocks.
Spec: Destruction
Talents:
- Soul Leech
- Mortal Coil/Shadowfury (I like Mortal Coil better)
- Soul Link
- doesn't matter
- Grimoire of Supremacy
- doesn't matter (I use Kil'Jaeden's Cunning just to move around)
Glyphs:
Major: Siphon Life/Healthstone/optional (I use Ember Tap)
Basically, this spec abuses the synergy between Soul Leech and Soul Link. Getting a Voidlord with Void Shield up will severely nullifty the health penalty from Soul Link and will ensure you're the only of the 2 who's gonna take damage. I chose Destruction as a spec since Ember Tap makes Destruction the best survivability for soloing.
You shouldn't be taking much damage from this at all, except when a Vengeful Spirit is up - that's when Shadowfury would come up to be useful, but I prefer Mortal Coil better in case my health starts jumping around.
Vengeful Spirits are the most dangerous thing you can meet here - they can eat through Soul Leech's shield very quickly and it's pretty much the only thing that can get you killed. I usually deal with them by stealing aggro with Rain of Fire + Immolate on them. They move very slowly so you can just keep yourself at a distance and they should never hit you.
I may or may not make a quick vid demonstrating it. Good luck on your hunt![]()
