A quandary on how to maximize warlock area of effect in heroics.

Recommended Posts

Fellow Warlocks welcome a new member into your family. I've dabbled with Demonology and thrown curse words around with Affliction in Wrath of The Lich King.  

 

I'm out of practice and I'm in the process of learning everything about my favorite class all over again and my goal is to join a raiding team this expansion. The current state of warlocks is lackluster and some claim that the class itself is cursed with horrible resource mechanics and mobility problems or even outright shattered into tiny fragments and then hastily glued back together.

 

In spite of this I have chosen Demonology as my method of domination due to the on demand damage, and the perk of transforming into a demon and pretending to be a demon hunter. 

 

TLDR;

 

Now with all of that out the way I'm in a quandary over how to exactly maximize my area of effect my spells and demons. I have heard that Grimoire of Service is the superior choice in certain situations, but I'm not exactly certain as how to why this is perhaps summoning another Felguard for it's cleave?

 

In closing I've also heard that having two different Demonology set ups in heroics one for Area of Effect and the other for the Boss encounter. Am I correct in my choice of two Demonology Talent choices?

I think you mean in CMs, you can't change talents or glyphs in a CM but you can change specs so what some have done is have two specs of the same thing but one built talent and glyph wise for single target and the other for AoE.

 

In a normal or heroic 5 man you can change glyphs and talents on the fly so there isn't a need to waste your other spec.

 

 

GoServ is good because the fel guard that it summons comes out spinning, the burst AoE from this combined with HoG and your normal pets spin-to-win is very powerful.

I see thanks Lockybalboa I'll be sure to keep that in mind for the future.

      Hey guys. So I tanked way way back in TBC and WotLK vanilla. But I’m old now and totally forget everything. 
       
      To tank heroics 500 defense ok to start? Or do you need for sure 540 to even attempt them?
       
      AoE tanking is using SoC and single target is SoV?

      Hello there all,
      I have been made aware by my guild leader that he has a concerned about my lack of high Damage on my Demonology Warlock.
      Would someone please look him over for gear & potential enchantment,gems Etc.
      He even refused to allow me in a guild raid lately since my dmg wasn't enough, so I went with someone else's guild instead, :)
      I subsequently much higher iLvL  2 relics, one trinket & a end Antoran Raid Aggramar / Argus ring legendary ring  too...
      Anyways I've had this same Warlock since about 2007 I got into wow just a bit before the Burning Crusades expansion came out, so yea I'm very attached to this Warlock of mine.
      I have recently re-did his crit enchants everywhere , gems & talents too, but he still doesn't seem to have gone up in dmg much though, oddly.
      Here is My warlock's wow armory page,OK?
      https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/character/fizzcrank/buudy
      If anyone would like me to run a raid,etc logging addon.
      I'd be happy to,  all I ask is to let me know what it is, where to get it, etc,please?
      Thank you:)
      Your fellow wow dungeon & raiding player,

      About Us
      Skunkworks is a guild for players who can not or do not want to commit to the time-intensive raid schedules of traditional "hardcore" guilds.
      However, we still maintain a high caliber player environment and make an efficient use of our raiding time.
      We raid Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:00 - 11:00 PST, just 8 hours a week and never more.
       
      We are very protective of our guild environment and selective in recruitment. We are looking for solid players mechanically as well as intellectually.
      We all get paid to deal with idiots, why should we pay to spend our leisure time with them as well?
       
      Skunkworks has been around for multiple expansions and has historically always been at the top of the 2-night raiding guild scene.

      So, my guild and me are trying Eonar mythic, and I feel like I can deal more aoe dps.
      Here is gear that I am currently using, and I also have these in my bags:

      And here some logs of the fight.
      So, what can I do to improve? Any tips and tricks would really help.

      Hello all! I figured i'd make this thread to get some up to date information on the AOE rotation for unholy.  Currently i'm 935 ilvl, and I run Incstructor's fourth lesson and Soul. (For lack of a better option.) However it is my understanding that these two legendaries make for the strongest aoe rotation. Is this true?

       That is my first question. My second is what is the priority for aoe when running these two. Is it to wait for defile to drop, then festering wound a target a couple times, then Scourge Strike? Or is the priority to just put Wounds on then pop them asap, dropping the defile whenever it's available. Typically I wait for defile before I start building Wounds, but given the soul and the extra talent, i suspect it's better to just aoe without Defile if it's unavailable or perhaps just better to rarely spend runes on defile? Curious as to your thoughts!
