| − | Destro spec'ed Warlocks with 1 point in [[Devastation]] and 3 points in Backlash will increase their baseline spell critical rate for all Destruction spells by a whopping +8%. In combination with the additional [[DPS]] afforded by [[Ruin]], Warlock direct damage capacity improves significantly. This is further enhanced by numerous [[Nightfall]] and Backlash procs if the Warlock is Afflic/Destro spec'ed. |

| − | Such a build will find its best form in Instances, where [[DoT]]'s may not have many chances to reach their full duration, thus making direct damage attacks more beneficial to overall DPS and to mana efficiency. The build is less effective in solo play, where DoTing multiple targets is more efficient when striving for a high number of kills per minute. |

| − | In pve raiding this talent becomes a lot less useful. You are unlikely to get hit so the proc will never happen (unless you get attacked by adds or something). That effectively make this a 1 point = 1% crit talent. This is a lot worse than devastation which is 1 point = 5% crit talent. Before you have any points in this for purely pve make sure you have devastation first. |

Backlash is Destruction warlock talent.
Notes
This will probably have greatest effect against melee attackers with very fast swing rate such as hunter pets and druids in 
[Cat Form]. Nuke to the face, close range!
