Gear
Tier Set
- (2) Set Bonus: Immolate damage increased by 20%. Immolate periodic damage has a chance to grant a charge of Dimensional Rift.
- (4) Set Bonus: Dimensional Rift can now summon a powerful Flame Rift which fires 20 Searing Bolts that deal (25% of Spell Power) Fire damage to its target and an additional (10% of Spell Power) Fire damage over 10 seconds to nearby enemies.
The new tier set makes it so we have to play Dimensional Rift in every situation, which is a shame because we give up Chaos Incarnate. This tier set is pretty boring, whenever you get a Dimensional Rift reset you press it.

Embellishments
For embellishments you most likely want to play with Elemental Lariat and 1 Shadowflame or Blue Silken Lining. Shadowflame is more for single target and blue silken is more for AoE.
Trinkets
The best trinkets for Destruction are Pip's Emerald Friendship Badge and Nymue’s Unraveling Spindle. The Nymue trinket is especially strong because of Grand Warlock’s Design making our Infernal sync with the trinket.
