This combo relies a lot on the insane raid buff,
Soul's Darkness, obtained in the new raid
Sanctum of Domination. It gives you a 60% damage boost to shadow, this includes
Chaos Bolt.
Keep in mind the buff has already been fixed by now, it persisted outside the raid, even in M+ which had me report the bug before uploading the vid.Since the buff is only a 3 minute duration, I had to be quick after obtaining it. I set my Hearthstone at Ratchet in Durotar.
Funny thing to keep in mind btw, is that
Chaos Bolt is not actually chaos damage. It lacks the physical / holy part of the "chaos school". This is the reason
Anti-Magic Shell absorbs
Chaos Bolt, but it won't absorb
Fel Rush (since DH Fel Rush is true chaos).
Or well... at least sometimes it won't and sometimes it will? something is bugged with that school or
Anti-Magic Shell, perhaps
Metamorphosis is the reason
Fel Rush goes through, even though that wouldn't make sense.
You can see,
Chaos Bolt lacks holy and physical school.
Just like last time, we use
Bane of Havoc to get
Chaos Bolt to hit everyone.
I tried with a lot of different Legendaries, but the most useful one for AOE was the
Decaying Soul Satchel. With this we stack up a 20% crit and haste boost on some
Gently Squeezed Toads.
We need a way to get close to the enemy before the satchel buff drops off, and for this we will use the
Oddly-Shaped Horn from Pandaria. This makes you instantly mount at 300% increased movement speed for 20 seconds, a really fun item!
The last important part of the combo are the
First Strike and
Wild Hunt Tactics Soulbind Abilities from Korayn.
To do the AOE one-shot, we prepare the satchel buff on some toads, then we rush into the enemies we wanna one shot.
We use all CDs and consumables, then
Bane of Havoc followed by
Summon Infernal, to stun and proc
First StrikeThen we do a huge
Chaos Bolt. That along with
Conflagrate does about 50k damage for me at 229 ilvl.
For the single target version, we equip the
Odr, Shawl of the Ymirjar, which sadly won't work for AOE with
Bane of Havoc.
We use CDs,
Conflagrate,
Havoc into
Chaos Bolt. A real simple combo that doesn't require toads!
