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.

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.

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.

      We've already talked about and taken a first look at the Delve-specific mount coming in the War Within, but now it's time to check out all of its customization options! 
      LeystTV has delved into the mount and shown off all the options, from the different colors to nose, wing, thruster, and top customizations, with glider, blimp, helicopter looks and more! There's even different versions of Horde and Alliance decals to choose from! 

      And these may not even be all the options present at launch, not to mention new ones Blizzard might add with later patches, making this one of the cooler mounts in the game.

      We have a Crest switch fix and weekly maximum increase, as well as a quest fix in retail, the big class tuning pass for Season of Discovery, and more in today's hotfixes.
      April 23 (Source)
      Items
      Season 3 (Dreaming) crests are now correctly removed from players' currency tabs. Players have received a small amount of gold for their unused Dreaming Crests. Players can now earn up to 120 crests of each type per week in Dragonflight Season 4 (was a maximum of 90 per week in Season 3). This will allow for up to 8 upgrades per week, per crest type (was 6 in Season 3). Developers' notes: For players who don't reach their maximum crest earnings in a given week, we've implemented the increasing-seasonal-cap system from previous seasons. Please note that this increase is likely applicable to Season 4 only. We expect the weekly maximum to return to 90 for The War Within Season One. Quests
      Resolved an issue where abandoning the quest "Something Worth Celebrating" could make it unavailable. Cataclysm Classic
      The dates for Children’s Week have been adjusted so that the holiday begins and ends three days later than previously scheduled. Season of Discovery
      Players who have completed the quest "Warranty Claim" but have misplaced their Pristine G-7 C.O.R.E. Processor before handing in the quest "Salvaging the Salvagematic" may now speak with the Lost and Found vendor Rix Xizzix in Booty Bay to recover the misplaced quest item. Fixed a Sunken Temple issue where the Atal'ai Defenders encounter would not reset properly. Druid The Natural Weapons talents now increases all damage done by druids in Season of Discovery, instead of just physical damage. The Gale Winds rune now reduces the mana cost of Hurricane by 60%. Swiftmend no longer consumes a Rejuvenation or Regrowth effect on the target when used. Developers’ notes: Please note that it does still require Rejuvenation or Regrowth to be on the target to be used. Hunter Rapid Killing now reduces the cooldown of Rapid Fire by 80% (was a reduction of 2 minutes). Chimera Shot weapon damage percent increased to 135% (was 120%). Explosive Shot base damage before attack power increased by 50%. Sniper Training has an additional new effect: while Sniper Training is at 5 stacks, Aimed Shot is instant. Serpent Spread now causes Multi-shot to apply Serpent Sting to its targets for 12 seconds (was 6 seconds). Steady Shot now deals 100% weapon damage (was 75%). Developers’ notes: There are more adjustments coming for Hunters. In general, we intend to improve the ranged playstyle and diminish the melee playstyle so that the two become more equivalent. Paladin Seal of Righteousness damage can now be critical hits. Sacred Shield’s duration is extended to 60 seconds (was 30 seconds). Crusader Strike has now gained an additional effect: Crusader strike now refreshes all judgement effects active on the target to a 30 second remaining duration. Seal of Martyrdom can now “twist” with other seals, including Seal of Command. Developers’ notes: Seal twisting was an interesting emergent effect that became popular during the original Burning Crusade, that utilized the slower server messaging system used in early versions of WoW to slightly extend the duration of the paladin’s active seal for a short time whenever a second seal was cast. This effectively allowed paladins to momentarily gain the benefit of two seals at once if they timed the application of a new seal to line up perfectly just before their weapon swing. We recreated this playstyle in Burning Crusade Classic and since then it’s been a popular request in other versions of original WoW, including Season of Discovery. As the game matures and we continue to listen to player feedback however, we recognize that for some, this is part of the charm and uniqueness of playing a paladin during those early eras of WoW’s history. We consider this change to be experimental and we will watch the performance and behavior of Retribution closely after this change. Priest Shadowform now increases all shadow damage done by 25% (was 15%). Rogue Saber Slash bleed now stacks up to 5 times. Saber Slash bleed now also increases the impact damage done by Sinister Strike and Saber Slash by 15% per stack for the rogue who applied the bleed. Saber Slash bleed now deals 3% of the rogue’s Attack Power in damage per tick (was 5%). Shaman Mental Dexterity now only triggers from dealing damage with Stormstrike and Lava Lash, and it now lasts 30 seconds (was 10 seconds). Burn now increases Flame Shock Damage by 100% and flame shock DoT duration by 6 seconds, and causes Flame Shock to strike up to 5 targets (was 3 targets). Developers’ notes: We’ve received a lot of feedback about the overall usability of mental dexterity, particularly for Elemental Shamans. This ability was not intended to be used by elemental, so the adjustments we’ve made are to help ensure its usage is a bit more enhancement-centric. To compensate, we’ve increased the output and usability of the Burn rune, with a slight quality-of-life improvement in the form of a Flame Shock duration increase which allows two Lava Burst casts to be used within a single Flame Shock duration.
