Leveling Talent Tree and Build for Demonology Warlock
The build below is for sustained damage, ensuring a smooth and safe leveling process for solo play.
The second build possibility is focused on AoE dungeon grinding and forgoes
the sustained damage you gain from the first imp build in favor of massive AoE
burst through Metamorphosis and the party buff provided by
Demonic Pact.
Leveling Rotation
For Demonology, you will still want to ensure that you
maintain your DoTs on your target: Immolate,
Corruption, and, if
the fight goes on long enough,
Curse of Doom. If the fight will not go on
long enough for Doom to go off, you should use
Curse of Agony instead.
Beyond your DoTs, you will want to use Incinerate, if the
Molten Core buff is up, or
Soul Fire, if the
Decimation buff
is up. If neither of these buffs is up, you should use
Shadow Bolt.
AoE Leveling Rotation as Demonology
After you apply your debuffs, you will want to run into melee range for Metamorphosis
and follow this priority:
Immolation Aura
Shadow Cleave
Seed of Corruption
Pets for Leveling as Demonology
The best pet for Demonology will depend on the build you take. If you take the Fire Imp build, you will want to use your Imp. If you take the AoE build, you should use a Felguard.
List of Trainer Skills to Buy
It is important to buy all abilities as you level as they are cheap and Warlocks have quite a few abilities that are extremely powerful in certain situations.
Warlock Macros and Addons
