General Information

1.

Primordial Stone Gems

A new feature added in Patch 10.0.7 are the Primordial Stone Gems which currently can only be slotted in the new Onyx Annulet Icon Onyx Annulet ring.

For more information regarding the Onyx Annulet, the Primordial Gemstones, and how to obtain them, check out our dedicated guide below.

The Onyx Annulet Icon Onyx Annulet ring only features 3 sockets, as such only the same amount of Primordial Stone Gems can be equipped at any given time, making the choice of which one to choose important in the context of maximise the dps.

Please note that due to their relative strength, the gem selection will be influenced by talents and your current gear, typically resulting in 1 of the gems being somewhat of a personal best choice. As a result it is adviced to sim your own character for the best accuracy.

Item Quality Ranks

2.1.

Profession Consumable Ranks

As part of Dragonflight's overhaul of Professions, many crafted items and consumables may have multiple ranks of quality that impact their effects. For consumables, there are potentially three ranks of an item that may be used, with Rank 3 items (shown as item level 415 in-game and with three gold stars) providing the most powerful bonuses. However, higher quality consumables will generally be more expensive and not always necessary depending on the content you are doing. You should be willing to use whatever rank of an item is most within your budget, and save higher-quality consumables for content where you will really need the extra boost!

If you would like to learn more about quality ranks on profession items, or the overhaul to professions as a whole, please see our overview below.

You should always take the highest rank available to you.

Consumables for Demonology Warlock

6.1.

Best Phials and Potions for Demonology

Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power Icon Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power is the best potion to use. Elemental Potion of Power Icon Elemental Potion of Power is marginally behind, but is available at a much more affordable cost.

In raid Phial of Tepid Versatility Icon Phial of Tepid Versatility should be used as your flask of choice for progress.

Phial of Static Empowerment Icon Phial of Static Empowerment can be considered in low movement situations.

In dungeons Phial of Tepid Versatility Icon Phial of Tepid Versatility is the more consistent choice, as Phial of Glacial Fury Icon Phial of Glacial Fury is only an option at high target counts, while inevitably losing on bosses.

Refreshing Healing Potion Icon Refreshing Healing Potion should be used alongside Healthstone Icon Healthstones for emergency healing.

6.2.

Best Food for Demonology

You should eat from the Grand Banquet of the Kalu'ak Icon Grand Banquet of the Kalu'ak when possible, and otherwise Haste food (Timely Demise Icon Timely Demise or a variant featuring Haste such as Aromatic Seafood Platter Icon Aromatic Seafood Platter, Feisty Fish Sticks Icon Feisty Fish Sticks, or Sizzling Seafood Medley Icon Sizzling Seafood Medley if more readily available).

If simming yourself results in a different best secondary stat than Haste, you should eat that food instead.

6.3.

Weapon Runes for Demonology

Howling Rune Icon Howling Rune is the overall better choice.

6.4.

Augment Runes for Demonology

In addition, if you can afford it, you should use Draconic Augment Rune Icon Draconic Augment Runes to increase your primary stat. Since there is a finite amount of the consumable runes available, you should make sure to use them wisely and to stock up on them for when you need them.
