Demonology Warlock PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets — The War Within (11.2)
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 always the next strongest secondary stat because it reduces the Global Cooldown on abilities and your cast time.
Gear Recommendations
In general, Demonology Warlocks want to get gear that gives both Versatility and Haste, with a priority on Versatility. Most PvP pieces from Honor and Conquest will have Versatility and Haste, so these are generally the best items to go for.
Demonology Warlock's Warlock Diabolist 11.2 Class Set 2pc and
Warlock Diabolist 11.2 Class Set 4pc
are both worth using in Season 3. Your
Hand of Gul'dan will proc a
Demonic Oculus. This summons a demon,
and when you consume Demonic Art, it will explode on your target. The
Warlock Diabolist 11.2 Class Set 4pc
will cause you to gain 2% Intellect for 10 sec every time this happens.
