This is the "canonical blast-em" Shadow Mastery/Ruin build Bun-Bun is talking of:
Affliction - 30 points
5 - Improved Corruption
2 - Improved Lifetap
5 - Improved Drain Life
5 - Fel Concentration
1 - Amplify Curse
2 - Nightfall
2 - Grim Reach
1 - Siphon Life
1 - Curse of Exhaustion
1 - Improved Curse of Exhaustion
5 - Shadow Mastery
Destruction - 21 points
5 - Improved Shadowbolt
5 - Bane
1 - Shadowburn
5 - Devastation
2 - Destructive Reach
2 - Intensity
1 - Ruin
and this is the slightly modified Ruin/Affliction build I prefer:
In my build, I've dumped Shadow Mastery and Curse of Exhaustion/Improved Curse of Exhaustion for Demonic Embrace, which is a must-have talent IMO, and Improved Lash of Pain.
