Background:
This combo relies a lot on the insane raid buff Soul's Darkness, obtained in the new raid Sanctum of Domination. It gives you a 60% damage boost to shadow, this includes Chaos Bolt.
Keep in mind the buff has already been fixed by now, it persisted outside the raid, even in m+ which had me report the bug before uploading the vid.
Since the buff is only 3 minute duration, I had to be quick after obtaining it. Setting my hearthstone near durotar at Ratchet.
Funny thing to keep in mind btw, is that chaos bolt is not actually chaos damage. It lacks the physical / holy part of the "chaos school". This is the reason anti magic shell absorbs chaos bolt, but it won't absorb fel rush (since DH fel rush is true chaos)
Or well... atleast sometimes it won't and sometimes it will? something is bugged with that school or anti magic shell, perhaps metamorphosis is the reason fel rush goes through even tho that wouldn't make sense

You can see chaos bolt lacks holy and physical school.
Just like last time, we use Bane of Havoc to get chaos bolt to hit everyone.
I tried with a lot of different legendaries, but the most useful one for AOE was the Decaying Soul Satchel. With this we stack up a 20% crit and haste boost on some gently squeezed toads.
We need a way to get close to the enemy before the satchel buff drops off, and for this we will use the Oddly Shaped horn from pandaria. This makes you instantly mount at 300% increased movement speed for 20 seconds, a really fun item!
The last important part of the combo is the First Strike and Wild hunt tactic soulbinds from Korayn.
To do the AOE one shot, we prepare the satchel buff on some toads, then we rush into the enemies we wanna one shot.
We use all CDs and consumables, then bane of havoc followed by Infernal, to stun and proc first strike
Then we do a huge chaos bolt. That along with conflagrate does about 50k damage for me at 229 ilvl.
For the single target version, we equip the Odr, Shawl of the Ymirjar, which sadly won't work for AOE with bane of havoc
We use CDs, conflagrate, havoc into chaos bolt. A real simple combo that doesn't require toads!
Hope you all enjoyed, and stay tuned for more!
