Demonology Warlock PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets (Dragonflight / Patch 10.0.7)
Choosing your gear carefully is important for your Demonology Warlock in PvP. We give you a stat priority to help you choose items with the right stats, followed by advice on how to choose the rest of your gear and your trinkets.
This page is part of our Demonology Warlock PvP Guide.
Stat Priority for Demonology Warlocks in PvP
The stat priority for Demonology Warlock in PvP is as follows:
- Intellect;
- Versatility;
- Haste;
- Mastery;
- Critical Strike.
Intellect is the best stat in all situations. Versatility is the strongest secondary stat because it increases the damage you deal and reduces the damage you take. Haste is the next strongest secondary stat at all times because it reduces the Global Cooldown on abilities and your cast time.
Gear Recommendations
General Guidelines
In general, Demonology Warlocks want to get trinkets that line up well with
Summon Demonic Tyrant. These trinkets can have a passive or
on-use effect. The stat you want to be increasing is Intellect. You
want to increase Intellect because it drastically increases your overall
damage output. Here is the best gear we recommend you use as a Demonology
Warlock.

Crimson Gladiator's Silk Guise
- Neck:
Crimson Gladiator's Necklace
- Shoulders:
Scalesworn Cultist's Effigy
