I expect that the set bonuses will make the optimal build quite rigid.

With all the changes they're making with the set bonuses, things could end up changing multiple times over the coming weeks :(

Recurrent Ritual IconRecurrent Ritual causes Call Dreadstalkers IconCall Dreadstalkers to refund 2 Soul Shards. This legendary is the best choice in single target situations.

NOT anymore, since 7.2.5 it refund only 1 Soul Shard, still the best choice?

I believe there are more changes to be added to the Legendaries/Gear page. Will check with Furty.

I've been wondering the same thing. I don't have all my legendaries and am hoarding Nethershards until next Tuesday. Thanks Blainie for checking on that for us!

It is no longer the best legendary. Gear updates including Tomb of Sargeras Best-in-Slot, Tier 20 tier overview, trinket discussion, and legendary tier list inbound within the next couple days; check the Affliction Gear section for a preview of what to expect. Just finalizing sims and empirical testing.

The Affliction Gear section looks great. Can't wait for the Demonology update. Keep up the great work!

what about Left Hand of Darkness  as relic? where is that on the ranking?

Can't tell you an exact number, but it's pretty low. I just simmed my char to make sure: about 7.4% of my damage comes from my Felguard, as opposed to more than 35% from the imp firebolts. Obviously, taking adding 5% to that 7.4 would not make as huge a difference as adding a load to the 35+%. LHoD may be marginally better than usual on fights with loads of adds, since Felstorm is counted as damage done by your pet, but the difference would be statistically negligible.

Just confirming this - sorry for not getting back to you about it Damokles. It's a pretty weak relic all-round. Definitely not as desirable as the others listed.

The guide mentions using havoc for additional benefit from mortal coil, even though demonology doesn't have havoc.

If you are using Recurrent Ritual, you don't need 4 Soul Shards to do all of your summons. But I've been struggling to find the right opener since I keep getting to the point of using Thal'kiel's Consumption, and the Dreadstalkers have despawned. This is what I came up with:

- Use Demonic Empowerment at 3 seconds on the cooldown.

- Potion of Prolonged Power and precast Call Dreadstalkers.

- Grimoire: Felguard.

- Summon Doomguard.

- Demonic Empowerment.

- Doom (if not using Hand of Doom talent).

- Shadow Bolt x 5.

- Call Dreadstalkers.

- Hand of Gul'dan.

- Demonic Empowerment.

- Thal'kiel's Consumption.

With 300hours+ I've found that this rotation works best.

- DE 3 sec on CD

- Pot

- SB x 2

- Dreadstalkers -> HoG

- SB x 2 

- Dommguard -> Grim: Felguard 

- DE - TKC

rinse and repeat. Never refresh HoG unless doom has expired or has 1 sec left.

I studied Badthings' top log on Mythic Goroth. This is #5 on WL with over 1.5M single target DPS as Demonology!

He uses a different talent build than I do, Shadowy Inspiration / Power Trip which seems to be all the rage for ST fights. Legendaries were Recurrent Ritual and Wakener's Loyalty. He used this sequence:

1. Precast Demonic Empowerment at 3s

2. Pot + Precast Shadow Bolt (not sure about this one?)

3. Call Dreadstalkers

4. Demonic Empowerment

5. Doom

6. Shadow Bolt

7. Doomguard

8. Grimoire: Felguard w/Felstorm off GCD

9. Demonic Empowerment

10. Shadow Bolt

11. Hand of Gul'dan

12. Demonic Empowerment

13. Shadow Bolt

14. Hand of Gul'dan

15. Demonic Empowerment

16. Thal'kiel's Consumption

The value he got from that TC is 6.9M crit, which is pretty high considering he's not using Soul Harvest or Sin'dorei Spite to boost it. No doubt Wakener's Loyalty played into it.

I got a relic with Left Hand of Darkness, went to see how it stacked up against the other relics and the guide doesn't have it listed. I imagine that 5% extra damage from your main pet is pretty damn good, but your imp's firebolts are usually the largest contributor to damage even on AoE fights so I'm not positive that it would be the very best.

I'm making a note for Furty to not only include this relic, but to revise from your comment above this one. Should be changed/updated alongside the 7.3 updates.

The netherlight crucible guide for demonology warlock says the tier 3 priority is the same as the relic priority, but I got "Left hand of darkness" as a tier 3 choice and it's not mentioned as a choice in any of the pages. Is it really worse than all of the other options mentioned?

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.
      (Source)
      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale
