Are you sure? From my experience in todays raid single target dmg is better with Demonic Caling and Improved Dreadstalkers...

 

100% sure, provided you're still using class trinket & 4-set.

Do you think there is a difference between mytic or heroic class trinket in terms of rotation? There might be a certain iLvL at which the rotation changes to not using Dreadstalkers?

 

Additional question: Why didn't the mention the change in the recent patchnotes?

Hi Furty, thanks for the guide!

I had one question though for clarification re: Tier 4 talents. On the Builds and Talents section it has Power Trip as the go-to talent, but in the Rotation, Cooldowns, and Abilities section it says Power Trip is inferior to HoD and Soul Harvest in all scenarios. Is it more that PT is better w/ 4pc + Fragment, but otherwise is inferior to the others?

Nope, any level of class trinket should do it. Uncertain why it wasn't mentioned; Blizzard as a company has had repeated issues with transparency.

Yeah that's correct. Sincerest apologies if there's a few confusing sections like that, because a lot of the pre-patch stuff involving the 4-piece + fragment is basically the exact opposite of what you do without said items, or in Legion.

How do Demo warlocks compare in Legion in raids and dungeons. I want to raid on my demo lock but if the damage done is abysmal then I would like to know before I jump into this. Thank you.

There appears to be contradictory information between the talent page and the rotation page. On the talent page it says power trip is best 1-2 targets however when you move to tier 4 talents on the rotation page it says power trip is worse in all situations. Some clarification would be nice

Looking pretty weak on Beta at 110 currently.

Talents page is referring to the T18 4P bonus build. On the rotation page there is a section addressing that build where it also tells you to disregard everything else below that section on the rotation page.

With the latest 4set nerf down to 2%, is it worth breaking this bonus in favor of more haste+ilvl ? Speaking about 720(2/2)  tier chest vs. 741(2/2) non-tier chest with more haste+crit and hence replacing the second weakest of the set (i guess i have spare haste hands), or is this 2% proc chance still better option overall ?

Has anyone figured out yet how to make a weak aura for demonic empowerment? It's not a problem to track the felguard (aura target = pet), but the dreadstalkers and imps are much more troublesome for me (I tried "Specific Unit" as a target, but it doesn't show for dreadstalkers, probably because they are regarded as guardians, not regular npcs)...

Stick with the set bonus.

Guest Question for castbar

The Demontracker is awsome, but I think i will build a smaller version, it doesn't fit my UI completely.

@FurtyWhich Castbar Addon do you use, and which aura tracker (on the target)? I have imported  your elvui legion profile and had no castbar and no aura tracker.

I use Gnosis for castbars and WeakAuras for tracking stuff. Probably also going to use Gnosis for tracking my DoTs come Legion.

Doom is not a tick anymore. It only does damage after it expires.

Doom is dot that ticks, normally with expiring. If you recast doom before it expires, it ticks and then drops after the expire time, otherwise a talent that casts doom on all targets of hand of guldan would make no sense, it would prevent doom from doing dmg ...

 

I have used the legion-dev branch of simcraft to simulate my wl, choose trinkets and talents for hecticAddCleave Fight (Archimonde). Simcraft gives an example rotation and from the actionlist you could reed that they only cast Demonic Empowerment when you have at least 5 Imps that are not empowered (or the last empowerment is over, after 15sec).

The Rotation then would be:

HoG, SB, HoG, SB, HoG, DE, SB, HoG, SB, HoG, SB, HoG, DE, SB .... (if you have at least 5 Imps after 3 HoG casts)

I cannot specify if this is correct, but my feeling is that I had slightly more imps out.

Can you say something to that issue @Furty

After reading over the Demonology warlock section, I would like to comment on a few things. I mean no disrespect to the poster, but some of this information just isn't true. The talents especially. I played Demo lock exclusively on the Beta, to include raiding and all that. I've tried out all the talents, and rotations. I'll start with the talents:

Tier 1: Shadowflame is the best option. You CAN'T maintain 3 stacks, period. It's an 8s dot with a 14s CD. If you cast your second one at 7s into the Dot, the CD will reset with 1s left on the dot, but won't be available for the third. You can only get it to 3 stacks, not maintain it there. If you want to optimize DPS, save up 2 charges and build up to stacks. However even just casting it normally is a DPS boost over the others. Shadow Inspiration isn't bad, and if you don't want the added spell it's a good options, but SF is the best option. Demonic Calling is bad, period. The ONLY time it becomes viable, is if you use your legendary item that makes your dreadstalkers refund 2 shard, and even then only casting dreadstalkers when this talent procs to generate shards. 

 

Tier 2: Impending doom is ONLY decent if you're also using hand of doom, and facing a large group where you can get more imps when doom goes off, so like every 17s or so. Even then, implosion is still better. Improved Dreadstalkers is once again a bad choice as you shouldn't be casting dreadstalkers unless you have the legendary for it. Implosion is AMAZING. Even single target the damage is by a very large margin the highest out of all possible choices here. There's a delay between casting Hand of Gul'dan, and when the imps spawn. In that time, cast Implosion to clear out your old imps, and then the new imps will come out. It's actually really simple, and very good damage output both single target and AOE.

 

Tier 3: I agree that in most instances, Demon Skin is the best option here. 

 

Tier 4: Hand of Doom is the ONLY option here, point blank. You have to cast it HoG regardless, and having it also reapply doom is amazing. Even on single target, it saves you a lot of global CD's, and is vastly worth it, over a 50% chance to generate 1 shard when casting DE. Against multiple targets, like pretty much all encounters, it's even better. The poster referenced that Power Trip was better because of the 4pc and trinket, however neither has any impact on this. If anything HoD promotes more liberal use of HoG and thus more trinket procs.

 

Tier 5: All the options are good. I prefer burning rush, but that's just personal preference. 

 

Tier 6: Grimoire of Synergy is the best choice here, Service isn't bad, but costs another SS, and GCD, and doesn't make up for it.

 

Tier 7: Demonbolt should be the default option here. Soul Conduit is underpowered at the moment. Not bad, but can't keep up with the other options. Demonbolt is a good option, especially with the 4pc and trinket providing more demons. Unlike what the poster said with the 4pc and trinket helping Soul Conduit. Summon Darkglare isn't bad, but it's highly situational. You need a large amount of clumped up mobs for it to be more viable than demonbolt. Not that the damage is bad, but adding another GCD to an ability that uses a shard rather than generates a shard, and only targets mobs effected by doom (so basically requiring HoD and clumped targets to be effective) requires a lot of targets for it's burst, loss of a GCD, and use of a shard to make up for the added damage DB provides over SD in filler.

Hey - respect for typing all this out but most of it is wrong. Shadowflame is pretty garbage for the exact reasons you later cite (lack of globals). It is also tricky to use correctly and even when perfectly utilized doesn't scrape parity with its brethren (in pre-patch & Legion). Implosion is only good on extremely fast kills currently where the extra ring damage would outweigh actual meaningful damage, or on a fight like Xhulhorac where you can cheese a bit. Synergy is also pretty mediocre regardless of the length of kill (ring damage + predictable nature of GoServ pulls it ahead). I find it pretty easy to sneak in Doom casts when I'm moving but Doom is such a low priority currently that Hand of Doom is a bit wasteful. I find it's a good talent for new/inexperienced players whereas Power Trip is much better for people who know how to play. DB & SC are essentially equal, as it says.

Again I appreciate the level of detail but your logic is really inconsistent - some talents you're suggesting require heavy GCD investment while others you decry for that same reason.

I completely disagree with you guys saying a weakness is lack of sustained cleave/AOE. Not true. I would say demo is strongest against 2-3 consistent targets like like Iron Maidens and if its more then that then they dominate because of implosion. I do agree with lack of single target burst and bad target switching but

  • Weak sustained AoE
  • Very inefficient at cleave and AoE

I would re evaluate that. They have amazing sustained AOE and strong cleave.

Thank you for the response. I'm sorry that you didn't understand it, but not everything is worth wasting a GCD that can be much better spent in other area's. Shadowflame is only garbage if you're just not casting it. Dreadstalkers aren't worth casting short from legendary items, they're very clearly a dps loss. Shadow Inspiration makes SB or DB instant when you cast DE, so you've got Shadowflame (100%sp+140%sp) vs (80%sp * 1.2 per pet) For the damage to overtake it, assuming you don't take the 'best option' per this guide, which makes Shadowflame clearly at least 3x better even if you don't do it well.

Tier 2 is equally as straight forward. Keeping it simple on single target, Impending doom is 1 imp every 15s ish, Improved Dreadstalkers is 2 if you cast a bad spell. After just testing, my Wild Imps are doing around 6.1k dps each over 12s, casting Implosion does 250k damage on an average hit. That's about 73k vs 250k. With extra imps, that's 146k vs 250k, still not close. That's assuming to pop it instantly. Even if you use it with 5s left on it, you've still got 43k, so the reality of it is 293k vs 146k. 

Doom dealing 500%sp shouldn't be a low priority at all, for a single GCD, or better yet, not require casting at all. That's huge. Saving a GCD, which can be used to cast a spell that would generate a share, beats a 50% to generate a shard. 

Logic is only inconsistent if you can't follow it.

It's weaker than Destruction and Affliction at both of those roles, which makes it weak. Efficiency of cleave means you don't lose single target damage, i.e. Wreak Havoc.

As I explained, the damage isn't the only factor. It takes up a GCD which has other value and therefore you have to look at the damage delta. The same goes for Implosion, as imps have other value than just straight up damage, particularly when using the 4-set. You're welcome to bring the rest of the discussion to the forum, but it won't be updated here as it is incorrect. I can understand how an inexperienced player might jump to those conclusions though :)

Guest Still worth?

Is demonology still the spec to go with if you don't have the class trinket and 4 piece set bonus?  Will affliction not be better?

Gauging spec power level with random assortments of non-raid gear is difficult, but best guess is there is more parity between the specializations before 4-set & class trinket. Affliction does rely on the class trinket heavily as well, however.

Did you mean to  say "superior"? You recommend we take that talent for both general use and raid environments.

Hi furty,

I've heard the name and been referred to this site by some Guildies of mine. My questions don't really involve anything in regards to these guides. I'll just be blunt. What do you think of warlocks?  During HFC I reigned supreme over my guild whether I was the aoe/cleave king as destro or the single target destroyer as affliction. There was not one encounter where locks were bad. All I've seen lately are Nerfs. All I have heard and read is that warlocks are being driven into the ground. With you being one of the top players I just want your perspective on our class.  I've played locks for 12 years and now that this amazing expac is coming out i feel like we are getting destroyed. I've actually been debating class changing from the class I love. Please let me know what you think.

This means that Classic players can also participate in a plethora of plundering fun by simply installing the modern (Live) World of Warcraft client:
      Launch the Battle.net desktop app. Click the World of Warcraft icon at the top. If the icon is missing, click on All Games and select the game from the list. On top of the Install button is a drop-down menu. Confirm that you wish to install World of Warcraft. Click Install. Once you’re in modern WoW:

      Discover lootable spells, abilities, and upgrades as you plunder treasure chests and defeat enemies. Upon picking up, spells and abilities are automatically added to your Action Bar, with two slots dedicated to offensive skills and two for utilities such as leaps, speed boosts, and crowd-control.
      Some abilities are more action-based and require good positioning and player targeting. Have fun discovering and experimenting with different combinations to find what works for you.
      Upgrades to Your Spells and Abilities
      Your spells and abilities can be upgraded by discovering higher-quality versions from treasure chests or finding the same ability elsewhere and stacking it to Rank 3 (epic). There are also plenty of plundering opportunities—various treasure chests with different rarities that harbor all types of abilities are stashed around the map. Always stay on the lookout for better loot and upgrades.
      Spectating Spectre
      Upon death, keep watching the match from the perspective of your teammates (if they're still alive) or other players, including their loadout.

      To view Renown and apply the Plunderstorm weapon and transmog customizations, change titles, or summon pets, swabbies can click on Da'kash Grimledger standing directly in front of the spawn point in the Plunderstorm lobby.
      Customization unlocks are simultaneously unlocked for Dragonflight characters and can be found in your Collection. Each Renown level unlock is noted in colored text under the reward name, whether the reward is for Dragonflight, Plunderstorm, or Classic.

      Check out our first look at MoP Remix coming in Patch 10.2.7!
      When Patch 10.2.7 goes live, you will be greeted by the following screen, informing you about the MoP Remix event and its objectives. There will be a button that lets you create your Timerunner (character).


      Similar to Plunderstorm, there will be an icon on the character screen for MoP Remix with the number of days remaining.

      Timerunners will be marked with a special icon next to their name on the character selection screen.

      When you first enter the game, you'll start with a short intro quest on the Timeless Shore. Your character will be affected with the Pandaria: Remix buff.

      The quest intro features a few unique quests before you start replaying MoP from the very beginning. It introduces you to Bronze, the event's currency used to buy items and upgrade gear.  
      Throughout your journey you will come across some very unique gear just like this cloak (Cloak of Infinite Potential) that permanently increases in power (Timerunner's Advantage).

      Your char will have access to two important Timerunning abilities.
      Extract Gem - Extract a gem from one of your socketed items. Unraveling Sands - Summon Unraveling Sands that transforms your unwanted items into Bronze. Gems offer a lot of customization in MoP Remix and you want to extract them with Extract Gem, because placing a new gem on top of a socketed one will make you lose it.
      If you come across unneeded gear, you can scrap it for Bronze with Unraveling Sands.

      Great Vault Requirements in Dragonflight Season 4
      Finally, here are the Great Vault requirements for the upcoming Season.

      Things seem to be stabilizing a little, at least at the very top, as our DK-Rogue trio remains solid this week. There's plenty of movement below that though, so let's dive in.
      Note: We are using Normalized scores instead of raw DPS for the Warcraft Logs rankings. The u.gg rankings at the bottom are raw DPS. Normalized scores take into account the outlier boss fights where certain specs could stack massive DPS (due to the nature of the fight, whether it's AoE spam or something else), which would then affect their overall score for the whole raid.
      Mythic
      Overall Damage 95th Percentile
      It seems we have a stable chart at the top, as the DK-Rogue sandwich is exactly where we left them last week! We do see a big mover right after that, however, as Elemental jumps three spots up into 4th, pushing Retribution down one. Fury remains stable in 6th, followed by Frost Mage, which gains a spot at the expense of Outlaw, which is down three. The three A's are still sticking together, with Arms, Assassination and Arcane all moving one up, and the Rogue moving ahead of the Mage at the end of the top 10.

      It's Survival's week this time around, as the Hunter bursts up nine spots into 7th, with the top 6 remaining the same. Elemental rises here as well in 9th, gaining three spots, as Havoc drops two at the end of the top 10. Marksmanship joins fellow Hunter Beast Mastery in the bottom 3, taking Feral's place.

      Boss Only Damage All Percentiles
      Unholy moves to the top of the pack in the direct damage charts, just barely taking Subtlety down. Survival makes an appearance here as well, moving six spots up into 6th, as Assassination and Shadow push Balance out of the top 10.

      U.GG Raw Mythic DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks. This chart is for Mythic only.
      Arms is on the way up, gaining three spots in 6th and pushing Havoc down one, as the Fyr'alaths start compounding here as well. Fire moves three up in 9th, as Frost DK drops those same three spots just outside the top 10.

      As many expected, it seems everyone's favorite farm won't be making it to Remix: Mists of Pandaria, as spotted by TheYamagato.
      This makes perfect sense, since it's a limited time event and the farm is a long reputation grind based on daily activities, and just wouldn't really fit with the shorter runtime. The farm itself is still there, but the NPCs that start the quests are not, replaced by the new Timerunning ones.       And so we're going to have to skip the farm when 10.2.7 comes along, but hey, it's still there on regular old retail if you really feel the need!
