Demonology Warlock PvP Guide (Shadowlands 9.2.5)

Demonology Warlocks are the strongest Warlock spec right now. They have the same crowd control as all the other specs, but they are much harder to kill. They have utility in the form of Fear and a passive defensive, Soul Link, that makes them a bad target to focus. If the Demonology Warlock is left unchecked, they can easily burst an enemy down in seconds.

• Great control
• Decent mobility
• Strong consistent damage

• Limited mobility
• Predictable burst damage
• Very few defensive cooldowns

  • Cosmic Gladiator's Resonator;
  • Cosmic Gladiator's Echoing Resolve;
  • Cosmic Gladiator's Fastidious Resolve.
• New PvP Trinket set bonus that grants Intellect and Stamina instead of Versatility
