Demonology Warlock PvP Best Arena Compositions (The War Within Pre-Patch)
Team composition in 2v2 or 3v3 Arena is very important, because not all classes work well together. Here, we give you the best compositions you can have for your Demonology Warlock (i.e., the best classes to pair with it).
This page is part of our Demonology Warlock PvP Guide.
The War Within Prepatch Comps
This section will be updated with comps after patch launch as it is difficult to predict the strength of classes at Level 70 without Hero Talents.
2v2 Arena
In 2v2 Arena, there are not many options. Your primary goal is to get a full Fear on the enemy healer and a Axe Toss on the enemy DPS. This will prevent anyone on the enemy team from interrupting your burst rotation and, especially, Summon Demonic Tyrant. If you are playing with a healer that has a reliable stun ( Hammer of Justice, Mighty Bash, or Leg Sweep), they can stun the enemy DPS while you Fear the healer. You can then follow up with another stun on your kill target. Outside of setups, Demonology Warlocks have good, consistent pressure from their pet Summon Felguard and a healing reduction effect in the form of Legion Strike which make it strong in high-dampening scenarios.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 2v2:
- Demonology Warlock + Restoration Shaman;
- Demonology Warlock + Mistweaver Monk.
- Demonology Warlock + Restoration Druid;
- Demonology Warlock + Holy Priest.
3v3 Arena
Your role in 3v3 is similar to 2v2 Arena. It is best to be playing with another caster so you are not the only person being interrupted. Try to use your burst rotation when the enemy team does not have any interrupts. Use Fear on the enemy healer and Axe Toss on your team's kill target. It is important to note that Fear should also be used to help your teammates. If you or a teammate is struggling to stay alive, use Fear on an enemy DPS without a trinket. If they both have trinkets, use it on whichever enemy you want.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 3v3:
- MLE/P (Demonology Warlock + Frost Mage + Preservation Evoker / Holy Priest);
- LSE (Demonology Warlock + Elemental Shaman + Preservation Evoker);
