Ruin is a warlock talent, considered to be the cornerstone of the Destruction talent tree, that increases the critical hit damage bonus of your Destruction spells by up to 100%. A normal spell critical is +50% damage taking into account all other damage modifiers. Ruin doubles the critical bonus when maxed, so you get a +100% damage bonus on critical hits.

Patch changes

  • Cataclysm Patch 4.0.1 (2010-10-12): Removed.
  • Wrath-Logo-Small.png Patch 3.3.0 (2009-12-08): This talent now also increases the critical strike damage bonus of the imp's Firebolt spell by 100%.
  • Wrath-Logo-Small.png Patch 3.0.2 (2008-10-14): Switched places with [Devastation] (moved two tiers down and increased to 5 ranks) so that other trees needn't give up their 41-point talents for it.
