==Tips and tactics==
 
  +
| style="text-align: left;" | [[Skethyl Berries]] || 65 || 1.13%
 
  +
|-
* Chaos Bolt pierces through [[Fire resistance]]
 
  +
| style="text-align: left;" | [[Azure Moonstone]] || 65 || 0.32%
* Chaos Bolt pierces through Absorption effects (i.e. [[Mana Shield]], [[Anti-Magic Shell]]).
 
  +
|-
* Chaos Bolt pierces through resist effects (i.e. [[Cloak of Shadows]])
 
  +
| style="text-align: left;" | [[Flame Spessarite]] || 65 || 0.32%
* Chaos Bolt damage is reduced normally by [[Damage reduction]] effects (i.e. [[Pain Suppression]]. Something to note here is that [[Cheat Death]] describes the talent as a damage reduction but the actual game mechanic it's an absorption thus Chaos Bolt pierces through Cheat Death.
 
  +
|-
* Chaos Bolt does NOT penetrate full immunities ([[Divine Shield]] and [[Ice Block]]). It is NOT deflected by [[Deterrence]].
 
  +
| style="text-align: left;" | [[Golden Draenite]] || 65 || 0.16%
* [[Fire Ward]] is a particularly interesting case. It cannot absorb Chaos Bolt damage however if talented with [[Molten Shields]], as a Fire spell, the mage can reflect Chaos Bolt before it even touches him.
 
  +
|-
* Chaos Bolt does 10% additional damage to targets that are afflicted with [[Immolate]] if you have taken the talent [[Fire and Brimstone]], so this spell should always be cast on your opponent before Chaos Bolt. Following up with [[Conflagrate]] deals massive burst damage. Even better, pick talent [[Backdraft]] and use the [[Glyph of Conflagrate]]. Cast Immolate, Conflagrate (proccing Backdraft) and Chaos Bolt (now with 30% reduced cast time). This sequence is sure to reduce most non-elite mobs to a smoking pile of ash! Works well in PvP too.
 
  +
| style="text-align: left;" | [[Deep Peridot]] || 65 || 0.16%
* [[Curse of the Elements]] increases magic damage done to a target by 13% and should also be applied prior to casting Chaos Bolt in fights of sustained damage.
 
  +
|}
* Before patch 3.1.3, Chaos Bolt was one of the most mana-efficient spells in the warlock's arsenal, along with [[Soul Fire]]. It truly shone in PvP because of its short cast time and the fact that it even ignored damage reduction effects like [[Pain Suppression]].
 
 
==External links==
* This spell is particular fun in [[Karazhan]] where the mana-shielded mobs in the Curator-boss is a major nusiance - bring a Destro-lock and one-shot them with Chaos Bolt.

==The resilience myth==
 
It appears as if the whole resilience thing was just a myth. [[Ghostcrawler]] said that the developers could not find anything that affected resilience and Chaos Bolt has never bypassed it.

EDIT: As it turns out, Chaos Bolt does NOT ignore resilience. When the developers went to make this change, they found out that the resilience bypassing was just a myth. They still thought making the change to have CB not bypass other damage reduction affects was an appropriate change. I try to stay on top of all of the changes my team makes, but it's a big game and we typically make a lot of changes every day. The mistake was mine, and I do apologize for any confusion.
 
 
TLDR: The 3.1.3 change remains, but resilience is not (and never has been) affected.<br/><br/>
