Demonology Warlock 6.2

Recommended Posts

Guest Imapallywoot

You mention in the section discussing set bonuses that you should just add another HoG cast with the T17 4-set and stack it to 3...as far as I can tell, the effect only stacks to 2 even with procs from the T16 4-set. The duration still refreshes, but the intensity doesn't change after the second stack is applied. If this is being remedied in 6.1, it will make it even more necessary to stack it as such, but even for the sake of maximizing uptime it's still the best thing to do. Just wanted to point this out or the sake of clarity.

During the opener of an encounter, if you do not have full demonic fury, is it better to max demonic fury before meta(for demonbolt) , or just meta as soon as the main opener is finished to start doom ticking?

These "guides" aren't really clear.

I have been playing a Demo lock for sometime now and have come up with done suggestions, the first being a macro for corruption. /stopcasting /cast corruption, for the instances that your corruption need refresh your out of fury or just about to pop meta, I've been running into GCD issues as many of our talents share the same GCD. Two of those being Imp Swarm and Doomguard/Terrorguard. I've played with openers and have good results from prepoting/precasting soul fire or even demonbolt if I have enough fury, also maintaining all doors doom, corruption and debuff and demonbolt stacks rather than fury dumping. After analyzing several boss encounters the biggest problem with the demo rotation has been maintaining those uptimes. More to come I'm tired of typing on my phone.

You're lying by saying it's been updated for 6.1.

It doesn't reflect the 6.1 changes yet so the guide must stay at 6.0.3 atm.

Could you elaborate?

Question about Grimoires. The current text says that Grimoire of Service is best for single target, and that Service and Synergy are tied for multi-target/AOE. Is Supremacy not in the running here?

 

Thanks for your time.

I would like to point out a minor error under the rotation section regarding the T17 4P bonus and its interaction with Hand of Gul'dan. It currently states :

" This drastically increases the uptime of the Hand of Gul'dan DoT with 2 or 3 stacks on your target."

 

While not a particularly egregious error, it should be changed to properly reflect that the DoT applied by Hand of Gul'dan will never stack to three. It should, rather, state that the duration of the two-stack DoT will be refreshed upon the third cast of Hand of Gul'dan.

 

It is not a major source of misinformation, but it was a point of confusion for someone this morning and I do feel like that the guide should reflect the most accurate information possible.

 

Thanks!

I have a question regarding wow_icon_achievement_boss_archimonde.jpgArchimonde's Darkness and wow_icon_spell_warlock_demonsoul.jpgDark Soul: Knowledge when using wow_icon_spell_warlock_demonicservitude.Demonic Servitude or wow_icon_achievement_zone_cataclysm.jpgCataclysm.

Whats the mechanic behind that 2nd charge:

1) do both DS share a common 2min cooldown

2) or are there two indepandant cooldowns for each charge

3) or is the only one second charge per fight

And, more important, how do I use the second charge properly? I know I have to use the first on CD, but does this also hold true for the second DS or should I spare it for heorism/boss-mechanic only?

The second charge works similar to how Hand of Guldan charges work, you start with 2 and when you use one it goes on cd, then when you use the second it has to wait until the first cd has finished to start working through it's cd.

One thing:

 

Corruption is extended when you cast wow_icon_inv_jewelcrafting_shadowspirit_Touch of Chaos while in wow_icon_spell_shadow_demonform.jpgMetamorphosis, so you will generally not have to refresh it manually. That said, if Corruption is about to drop and you have no reason to enter Metamorphosis, then you can refresh it manually. You do not lose ticks if you refresh it when it has 5.4 seconds remaining or less.

 

 

Is this still true when Demonbolt is specc'd?

According to the guide, refreshing Corruption manually would just occur from time to time but my tests yesterday yielded different results. I had to refresh it manually all the time. Am I doing something wrong?

With Demonbolt, you cast Touch of Chaos a lot less often, so that means more manual refreshes of Corruption.

 

 

I noticed that you say to always use Dark Soul when using Imp Swarm but I dont see that reflected in your "opening rotation" ... which one takes precedence?  Should I reserve IS until DS is sprung or should you incorporate DS into that opening rotation? Sorry if Im reading it wrong, but it did seem inconsistent.  Thanks for the great guide!

 

The opening rotation tells you to use Imp Swarm and than to activate Metamorphosis and use all your codlins. It's pretty clear, no?

 

As far as I can tell, Hand of Gul'dan doesn't stack past 2, even with T16 2-set procs. It will still refresh the duration, but the intensity doesn't stack past 2.

 

 

You mention in the section discussing set bonuses that you should just add another HoG cast with the T17 4-set and stack it to 3...as far as I can tell, the effect only stacks to 2 even with procs from the T16 4-set.

Sorry about that, I thought I had removed all the erroneous mentions of 3 stacks a long time ago, but I guess this one slipped through sad.png

I believe that this question would be better asked in the Warlock section.

I don't understand why you want to use a macro to cast Corruption.

Thanks for your time.

 

Grimoire of Supremacy is indeed not in the running here smile.png

I have a Question. Did you ever tested the dps of the imppet with wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Glyph_of_Demon_Training.

 

Single Target it should be above the Felguard/Wrathguard, but under the Doomguard and Terrorguard.

Something I would find enormously helpful would be a numeric stat weighting suitable for use in e.g. Pawn.

      Dragonflight Season 4 starts today, check out our updated to-do list to find out what's new!
      New Content Available This Week
      Awakened Raids are now available! The first Awakened raid this week is Vault of the Incarnates! Proiritize clearing Vault for Season 4 loot and your first Antique Bronze Bullion. The first Catalyst charge is available today, but make sure to use it after you clear Awakened Vault to see how many tier set pieces you've acquired after your run. The final boss drops an omnitoken that all classes can roll for. Killing the final boss on Heroic Difficulty yields a token that you can exchange for 1 class set piece. Click here to learn more about Awakened Class Set acquisition methods! The item level of loot from all sources has gone up by +39 item levels in Season 4. Time Rifts, Fyrakk Assaults, and Dreamsurges now all offer better loot, compared to Season 3. If you own Fyr'alath or Nasz'uro, you can upgrade the legendaries to their S4 base Item Level (502) using Scale of Awakening that costs 2 Antique Bronze Bullion, but you can only get 1 this week. You can still upgrade S3 gear, but you can no longer acquire S3 crests. New crests are available for gear upgrading. You will find the gear upgrading brackets in our guide. New rewards await in Mythic+ Season 4! The latest PvP season also introduces new rewards and better gear. This week's bonus event is Burning Crusade Timewalking You can clear dungeons to unlock slots in the Great Vault alongside Item Level 467 loot! Complete 5 Timewalking Quests for the weekly quest to receive 1 piece of item level 493+ loot. Clear Black Temple Timewalking forI Item Level 493 loot. DHs who earned both warglaives the regular way can now obtain the Weapon Arsenal from Illidan which lets them use the legendaries for transmog. Thanks to the increased reputation buff, it's super fast this week to reach Revered with the Netherwing and add some cool mounts to your collection! In Shadowlands Season 4, we've seen Fated World Bosses, but it doesn't seem to be the case with Dragonflight Season 4, so it's not really worth killing World Bosses.

      Here's a reminder for all Demon Hunters! Since it's Burning Crusade Timewalking you can earn Arsenal: The Warglaives of Azzinoth from Illidan if you earned the weapons the regular way!
      Make sure to run Timewalking Black Temple on your Demon Hunter this week if you've unlocked the Warglaives of Azzinoth achievement with a character that can equip them.
      You need to collect both warglaives to use them for transmog and to unlock the “I'll Hold These For You Until You Get Out” achievement.
      Remember, achievement credit isn't shared across your account, so you must obtain both weapons with the same character.
      If you haven't acquired the regular warglaives yet, now is a great time to start farming them. That way, you'll be prepared to grab the Arsenal at the next Burning Crusade Timewalking event.

      It's super easy to go from Hated to Revered with the Netherwing faction during the Burning Crusade Timewalking event, and the reputation buff helps you unlock six awesome mounts fast!
      Sign of the Twisting Nether is active this week and the buff increases Burning Crusade reputation gains from combat and quests by 50%, which means you can skip the tedious Netherwing grind.
      Normally, you would go from Hated to Neutral with the Netherwing faction upon completing the questline that unlocks the faction.
      With Sign of the Twisting Nether, you will go from Hated straight to Revered! If you haven't done the questline yet, now's the best time to do so!
      Where to Start the Netherwing Questline?
      You can start the questline at the crystals south of Warden's Cage in Shadowmoon Valley, where you must talk to a High Elf quest-giver named Mordenai wandering around the crystals. You will find more information here.
      At Exalted with the Netherwind faction, you will receive one Netherwing mount for free and can buy the rest for 200 Gold from the vendor in Shattrath City.
      The available mounts are listed below:
      Reins of the Azure Netherwing Drake Reins of the Cobalt Netherwing Drake Reins of the Onyx Netherwing Drake Reins of the Purple Netherwing Drake Reins of the Veridian Netherwing Drake Reins of the Violet Netherwing Drake Here's a screenshot to better illustrate their appearance.

      Season 4 has partially started on NA servers, as players are noticing elements of the new season popping up. This is actually planned and was announced by Blizzard, as you can see below, but players were not expecting this much to change before the reset. 
      Season 4 (Source)
      Dragonflight Season 3 will be ending April 22 at 10:00 p.m. PDT, the night before the regularly scheduled maintenance, with Dragonflight Season 4 beginning immediately following on April 23. The blue post indicated that the season should start soon after, on the 23rd, which presumably means after the weekly reset. Here are some of the things that have already changed.
      Players have been reporting various aspects of the season being in-game, starting with Season 3 items now being marked as legacy, with a grey tooltip, as spotted by Strosts:

      Source. 
      Crests and Flightstones have also been reset, with new ones dropping from World Quests.
      Catalyst charges are also now in Season 4 mode, as spotted by lemoncocoapuff.

      We have four new zones coming in the War Within, but just how large are they, all told? We have a few community members showing their relative sizes off, comparing to various other expansion landmasses, which we'll be taking a look at today.
      First of all, the new expansion has one above-ground zone and three below, as the Isle of Dorn is our gateway into the three underground zones. This is best showcased by Sturtime2, who broke the Dragonflight and War Within zones down (with Zaralek, Emerald Dream and Forbidden Reach all being post-expansion launch zones):

      Source. 
      Now that we have a better idea of the War Within zone structure, we have a more visually direct comparison by CygnetFR, who also added Kul Tiras in there for comparison:

      Source.
      And finally we have another Dragon Isles comparison, only this time with the Easern Kingdoms thrown in, courtesy of keyboardturn:
