Demonology Warlock Dragonflight Leveling Guide From 1 to 70 (Dragonflight 10.2)

When leveling up, you should always choose the piece of loot with the highest item level. If the item levels are equal, you should choose the piece with stats that are most favorable to your specialization. If your current item is an Heirloom, it should not be replaced.

Below, you can see the suggested levelling talent build and the order in which to pick the talents while levelling.

Starting at Level 1, you only have one main attack ability: Shadow Bolt.

1. Level 2 — Cast Corruption to tag and soften up multiple enemies whenever spamming a few shadowbolts will not kill them quicker.
2. Level 59 — Cast Summon Demonic Tyrant with at least Call Dreadstalkers and 2 sets of Wild Imps to get the most out of its extension.
3. Level 57 — Use Guillotine as often as possible after enemies settle in melee range of Felguard.
4. Level 11 — cast Call Dreadstalkers on cooldown, regardless of the number of targets.
5. Level 1 — Hand of Gul'dan is the first shard spender, and the only one without cooldown. Cast it whenever you have no other spender, and you have 5 shards.
6. Level 17 — Use Soul Strike on cooldown, as long as you do not have 5 Soul Shards already.
7. Level 13 — Demonbolt is unlocked, use it whenever a Demonic Core proc happens.
8. Level 22 — Implosion should be used whenever there are 3 or more targets stacked.

1. Call Fel Lord can be useful mostly when engaging with other players in PvP, as it offers a moment of respite from melee that is focusing you.
2. Call Felhunter offers an interrupt every 24 seconds, provided your active pet is not the Felhunter.
3. Call Observer summons a demon that will zap any enemy casting harmful spells within 20 yards for 5% of their maximum health.
4. Master Summoner is passable at best, considering we take Demonic Calling.
5. Pleasure through Pain gives a passive damage increase but requires Succubus is the main pet choice.
6. Gateway Mastery should always be considered to expedite your whereabouts in closed space where mounts are not usable.
7. Bonds of Fel can offer further AoE burst when kiting targets around.
8. Fel Obelisk is perhaps the strongest PvP leveling talent as it offers a very powerful cooldown.

Summon Imp is your first available demon. This pet is not particularly useful for leveling, but you have no choice for the early levels.

If you are leveling alone, Summon Voidwalker can be a helpful choice while leveling up, as it takes a lot of the pressure off you. Avoiding casting pushback can also increase leveling speed.

Summon Felguard is the default choice for the vast majority of content, leveling included, as demonology, due to a combination of hard Crowd Control, Damage, Cleave, and tanking potential.

Summon Felhunter can be a good choice if you are leveling in a group or venturing into dungeons. The extra interrupt is helpful for dealing with troublesome caster mobs.
