Destruction Duel Guide

Defenses
Resilience: 459

Spell
Bonus Damage: 1025
Bonus Healing: 925
Hit Rating: 36
Crit Chance: 22.45%
Haste Rating: 0
Mana Regen: 130

You should try to have an average mix of all PvP related stats
It is extremly advisable to get near pvp-Hitcap which is 38 hit rating(=3%)
After that you should aim for around 800 damage and 18% Critical Rating(Without Devastation)
Around 11,00 HP Unbuffed and 400 Resilience is a good target to aim for
Socket the stats that you are mostly missing then boost your stats as you like

Macros

/Targetenemy [noexists]
/Cast [target-target,harm]Curse of the elements(Rank4)

You can spam this macro against rogues or druids when they are stealthed
with a little luck you will detect them and take them out of stealth or become sap immune.

/Petdefensive
/Petattack [target-Earthbind Totem ] [harm]
/Petattack [target-Windfury Totem ] [harm]
/Petattack [target-Manatide Totem ] [harm]
/Petattack [target-Tremor Totem ] [harm]
/Petattack [target-Grounding Totem] [harm]
/Petpassive

When you play against a shaman you can click this macro to destroy his totems
Your pet will attack the totems from below to the top and then attack the shaman himself

/Cast [help]Fire Shield
/cast Sacrifice
/Cast [nomodifier. harm] Seduction
/Cast [nomodifier. harm] Spell Lock
/cast [Modifier:ctrl. target-####] Devour Magic
/cast [modifier:shift. target-focus] Spell Lock
/cast [modifier:shift. target-focus] Seduction

Note in the macro where it says #### put your character name or if you can't fit it in there type the first few letters of your character name
This macro covers most of all your pet actions you will need
If you have Imp out he will cast fire shield on your target
And sacrifice you void walker if he is your active pet
Normal click the macro to seduce your current target with your succubus out
Shift-Click it and you will seduce your focus target instead
Click the macro will spell lock your target with your Felhunter
Shift-clicking will spell lock your focus target instead
and finally Ctrl-clicking will dispell a debuff from yourself without loosing your target(I'm not entirely sure if this works on woc because i havn't made a warlock on woc for almost a year.)

Preperation and positioning!

before a duel starts(3...2...1), Make your pet "stay" and "Passive" and run away from him
seduction has a 30 yard range, Keep sure you use that range or your pet will be hit by aoe attacks and effects
Also you make it much more harder for your opponent to control or kill your pet
You can easily check it, Just target your pet and look if it is in rage for your buffs but you don't want to stand that far away.
Or you don't have any radius to move around left/right without your pet will be out of range.

Seduction costs 24% of your pet's base mana on level 70 it costs 708 mana. So be sure your pet has at least ~3,200 Mana pool to be able to cast Seduction four times.

Destrochain!

The Destrochain is a nearly perfect control-lock
Combine Seduce, Shadow Fury, Death coil, And your attack spells to a deadly chain. If you time it all well, Your opponent is chancless to do something. Keep in mind that Medaillon or Will of the forsaken can easily destroy it.

My rotation is Seduction-Incinerate-Shadowfury-Immolate-Death Coil-Searing Pain-Seduction-Incinerate-Searing Pain

With my rotation the duel should be near over if your destrochain is suscessful

---------------------------------------------
Warrior Arms

When the duel starts, Make your pet stay and try to get it between you and the warrior
Now use "soothing Kiss" as soon as the duel starts, If you are quick enough, You will force him in combat and force him to chance stance and Intercept you. or additionally you can use the Curse Of elements macro(But you should do this anyways for +damage)
Use Seduction and get a little distance, He cannot come to you except by running
I therefor would start my rotation Immolate-Shadowfury-Searing Pain-Death Coil-(If hes intelligent he would trinket the deathcoil but its still too late)-Searing pain and this time start running away from him and Seduce him and Incinerate-Seduce-He should now intercept you by this time but its too late-Shadowfury and searing pain will finish it and its over

Added (2009-07-16, 1:26 Pm)
---------------------------------------------
Shaman Restoration

Start with Curse of tongues
use spell lock early to get it ready when you have no CC-Spells left. Shadowbolt-Shadowfury
Keep the pressure at a maximun from beginning to force him to heal himself. Immolate-Death coil
Thus avoiding that he can damage you. Remember to keep spamming the pet attack macro to destroy totems.
Get a little closer to him now and renew Curse of Tongues you should have a 100% uptime on this. Fear him this time and begin a Soulfire, Reason why i've instructed you to get closer because when you Fear people can sometimes run out of range and screw your entire control over this duel
Auto Devour Magic can help alot- Auto dispell Earth Shield and it will consume the Grounding Totem- Immolate-Searing Pain-renew curse of tongues-Shadowfury-Shadow bolt-Fear Shadowbolt-Shadowbolt
Let your pet get rid of the totems and keep the pressure. Immolate-Shadow Fury-Searing Pain-Searing pain( If the shaman is a tauren and he has some sort of head on his shoulders he would now War stomp to avoid Spell Lock) its not important to interupt his healing. Fear-Shadowbolt
Additional thing as a warlock, Nigh Invulnerability Belt. Don't waste your mana on it. just keep him in fear and let it fade off. remeber this duel is about keeping control not damage.
Now keep going until it ends, Shadow bolt-Searing pain-Shadowfury. It should be over by this time.

Shaman Elemental

First get rid of the grounding totem with a curse or soothing kiss
Use your totelkiller macro to let your pet destroy the tremor totem and seduce him after
Now its time to destrochain, Shadow bolt-Shadow Fury-Immolate-Death Coil-Searing Pain
He at this point should be almost 50% and is forced to trinket and nature swiftness and heal himself badly.
Renew Curse of tongues and Seduce-Soul Fire-Immolate, At this point he has no defences, Fear-Searing PainSeduce and Shadow Bolt and it should be over.
Keep the pressure on the totems and it will be easy

Shaman Enhancement

Cast Shadow Ward as a trash buff ... and run for your life
Save time for your pet with Deathcoil and Shadow Fury to destroy the tremor totem then Immolate
While he is Seduced get some distance and begin to nuke him, incinerate
Warning, An Enhancement can defeat you within afew seconds. Searing pain-Searing Pain it should be over now.

Paladin Holy

Keep up Curse of tongues and searing pain until the paladin is in Melee range
Try not to deathcoil before his bubble but in some cases you may need too. You can attempt to force him to bubble by seducing and Soul Fire.
Searing pain him now and if he bubbles run away from him. Remeber you have a health stone and its not cheating if you use it. its part of your abilitys as a warlock
After his bubble wears off its time to Destro chain. and it will be over soon enough just keep up Curse of Tongues

Paladin Retribution

Get some range between you and Seduce him, use trinket only if he uses it too or use bubble while he is seduced.
Now start destrochain, You allways want him to use bubble defensively so try force him to use bubble quickly early in the duel to add stress to him. If he bubbles trinkey any stun and run away he should heal himself at this point you got some distance cast Soulfire to time in so when the bubble fades you smack him in the face with some high damage spell.

---------------------------------------------
Warlock Felguard

Make the warlock as focus and target the felguard
Cast banish on the felguard and at the same time seduce the warlock, Via Focus macro. Try to time Fear on the Felguard as soon as it breaks out of banish. Certainly the felguard will trigger Backlash
Use Seduce to interupt drain life and its over

Warlock Destruction

Use Curse of Tongues is the lead to success, Keep it up all the time
If both warlocks are equal geared and skilled, It is all about trigger luck of Nether protection
Simple part about this type of duel is Less is more, Don't spam too much spells
With Felhunter you can dispell immolate and seduce, In this duel i wouldn't use succubus.
Cast while Nether Protection is on your opponent and hit hi when it fades off

Warlock Sl/Sl

Banishing his pet is pretty lucky and rarely advisable, A good warlock will simply dispell Seduction so use it as an interupt instead. When nether protection is triggered cast a larger spell with higher damage, he can't do anything to stop you.
Warning, You will be out of mana fast if he heals himself too much or he resists too often.
Try to control him that he dosn't cast drain life. When he is casting drain life, Burst damage is the key at this point

Priest Shadow

Start with Shadow ward and keep a 100% uptime in the entire duel.
I start the duel with Curse of elements and cast seduce so i can start with Incinerate-Searing Pain- Death Coil
When he runs to you, Await a Physic Scream. At this point he shouldn't have a bubble so he'll definately want to run at you now to get CC over you. Try to get away when you have time for (Seduce/Be silenced)
Seems really lame for a playstyle to run away but its the best way to go about it.

Master Spellstone
Conjured Item
Soulbound
Unique
Relic
Requires level 66
Use:Dispels all Harmful magic effects from the caster.
Equip: Increases your spell critical strike rating by 20(+0.91%)

If you have a spellstone equip and use it when you are at the peak of debuffs.
He'll probably be right next to you now so Shadow fury-Searing Pain-Shadow Ward
Keep him busy with Seduction and walk away and cast a Searing Pain-immolate-searing pain. If the priest has any brains he won't Fear you just yet he'll wait around 50% HP, Remeber priests have a bubble you pritty much have to kill them 3 times.
ok so he'll fear you at this point now, If your Undead use will of the forsaken if not trinket it so you can maintain pressure.
Note a shadowpriest runs out of mana very vast if he shields and dispels all the time. Searing pain-Shadow fury. Keeping up on CC is important.
Now the priest is very low and he'll bubble and start healing, Seduce him and cast Soul Fire if he breaks out fear him. Your adding alot of pressure and he won't have time to Fear Ward so use Fear as a interrupt.
Searing Pain and Shadow Fury to finish it if Shadow Fury is up, Duel should be over now.

Priest Dicipline

A good geared and well played dicipline cannot be nuked, The only way to win is the sl/sl playstyle sadly.
Use curse of Elements and drain mana. It is all about who will be the first without mana left. Obviosly due to stupid items on World of Chris the spell damage for most priests is high so you may need to at some point Destrochain him. But if you've read all of the guide thus far you'll know exactly how to end this duel.
Reason why i use Curse of Shadow is to prevent resist due to shadow protection. just keep fearing him and cast drain mana as boring as this duel gets. Life=Mana use your devour magic to dispell his shadow word: pain
and of course keep shadow ward on cooldown, use death coil for a heal so don't waste it into his bubble. if at any point he trinkets Death coil cast fear right away so you can pre-interupt any heal he may want to cast.
You may want to life tap so get first aid up and badges as hes feared. When he starts to run out of mana around 10% you are in advantage! Cast curse of agnony to lower his HP slowly. His mana tends out, Add searing pain to your rotation to start damage. As a warlock you'll hate playing against dicipline priests for how boring it is specially if your both in S3 type gear.
Life tap and badges is one of your main keys to this duel. When hes low in HP he'll cast Pain Supression on himself and he won't cast any healing spell because he wants mana to regen. At this point fear him and end him with a Soul Fire. Just time it well for Pain Supression to fade off.

---------------------------------------------
Druid Feral

A Well geared Feral makes a hugh amount of damage due to your lack of defense, This type of duel is a damage race. Hope on crits and Backlash procs. use Fear and your succubus as your backup while you are in Cycline to interupt regrowth.
If your opponent already uses Medallion gear him and unleash Soul fire. Without critluck you'll probably lose this duel but don't be hopeless on it, Some duels all rely on critical strike chance at the end.

Druid Balance

Use Anti-Stealth macro if you have it, As soon as he shapeshift to caster or moonkin form use seduction and curse of tongues
When you get him in seduction start your destrochain and the duel will end cast. Cyclone incoming! use medaillon pre-cast so lag wise it will release you out early and fear him cast to interupt regrowth. he cannot escape fear, Use a high damaging combo to nuke him down. Soul fire- Backlash proc if trents kick your ass and then shadow fury to end it.

Druid Restoration

A well geared and skilled resto druid cannot be nuked. again its all about mana but with one difference, Instead of only draining mana a combination of your harmfull spells, Fear-Drain mana
Combinate with drain mana and fear, Forces him out of mana much faster. use your Felhunter offensive. When his Health and mana drops begin with hard pressure. But also remember to fear him as much as you can.
Kill him with a deadly fear combo while he is low on health.

Mage Fire

Start with Curse of tongues and seduce to prevent sheep, The key to win is to make more damage then he does. He should ice block so remember to refresh Curse of tongues.
Note never underestimate a fire mage, With nether protection you have a hugh advantage. but without a proccluck they can do alot of damage and end the duel fast. You can ease damage by useing spell stone agaisnt ignite and frost nova

Mage Frost

It's a fast fight from beginning where every mistake can decide the end
After the mage blinks be sure to deathcoil straight after, If the mage has some sort of brains he'll Ice Block to get out of the CC then try to banish the water elemental while the mage is under CC
Be aware: An early counterspell or banish is in most cases a quick lose for you.
Use shadowburn and shadowfury often to make enough damage thru frost armor
try to contrl him a much as possible to prevent hugh burst damage (Fear)
Don't be shamed to use healthstone, in this case i use my battlemasters trinket as well as Healthstone if i'm 4-5 k HP
A good frost mage is one of the hardest opponents for you

---------------------------------------------
Hunter Markmanship

The usual trash buff shadow ward
Try to get near the hunter on far distrance he has a range advantage
as long as he is under seduce get on close range, Begin with a spell and a shadowfury after
Cast howl of terror to make them both controlled
get him with Death Coil and seduce to prevent him from getting too far away
while you are silenced use your time to get in his melee range to interupt his actions

Hunter Beastmaster

It is always a demage race and a short duel
Use curse of agony and run after him during the entire duel
Use Medallion to keep tracking him
Death Coil as a heal and damage him
Save shadow fury until his snake trap pops off
The best pet is actually the void walker with sacrifice
Be aware: a PvE hunter is much more dangerous

Added (2009-07-16, 1:31 Pm)
---------------------------------------------
Rogue Subtlety

Use rain of fire(rank 1) and howl of terror if you are lucky you will unstealth him, Sadly most rogues can get past all of this.
Remember to keep 25 yards away from your succubus
Spam tab and seduce to get him when he comes out
Use Death Coil agaisn't will of the forsaken or Medallion
Try to time destrochain perfectly
Its your only time where you can do some damage
Make as much damage as possible in that time
Cloak of shadow starts now its his turn
He'll probably use Blind, Now if hes good he'll bandage so use your pet to interupt bandage
Vanish use bandage or howl of terror if you are quick enough
He'll probably kill yor pet while you've been sapped but please note this is talking from a pros perspective
Shadow fury behinds you let you unhide the rogue often.
Curse of agony will often kill him while you are stunned, Usually it will kill him after cheat death but Cheat Death dosn't work on world of chris (sadly it used too for afew weeks)
After your out of the stuns if you've survived that long, use Shadowfury

Rogue Assassination

Due to the lack of Camouflage you can detect him very easily
as soon as seduce begins to cast you will get him 100% out of stealth
Death Coil to bridge over will of the forsaken
The only thing that makes him easy is the lack of cheat death.
