DEMONOLOGY WARLOCK ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

This page will cover all the additional resources you might need for Demonology Warlock. We will suggest various third-party tools and guides that can help you improve.

1.

How To Sim Yourself

Simming yourself is an incredibly useful and powerful tool that you can use to make informed decisions on what gems to socket, what gear to prioritize, or even what dungeons to run for the best chance at an upgrade. We have a very comprehensive guide on how to use this tool even as a beginner, so make sure to check it out!

2.

How to Analyze Logs

In order to help you further elevate your performance and improve your ability to self-analyze your gameplay, we are preparing a set of guides that teach you how to look at your own logs, find rotational issues, check for uptimes on buffs and debuffs, and much more. Please make sure to check back at a later time once these have been completed.

Mistakes

4.1.

Overcapping Demonic Core

As we often have large numbers of Imps expiring at once, it is possible with good luck to quickly generate large numbers of Demonic Core Icon Demonic Core stacks. If you are not ready for the influx of procs, you risk overcapping your stacks and losing precious Soul Shards. Once you reach 2 stacks of Demonic Core Icon Demonic Core, you should be ready to spend stacks on Demonbolt Icon Demonbolt quickly, as it is easy to quickly overcap from there.

4.2.

Moving During Instant Casts

Demonology, while being a fairly mobile specialization when played correctly, is heavily dependant on your ability to keep casting in order to generate resources to convert in a steady flow of summons. It is extremely important to learn to plan ahead your movements in any given situation and to make use of instant casts in those moments.

4.3.

Not Using Call Dreadstalkers on Cooldown

Call Dreadstalkers Icon Call Dreadstalkers is one of our most important abilities, particularly if you are playing with Demonic Calling Icon Demonic Calling. You will want to get your Dreadstalkers out as soon as possible, as any extra usages that you might get over the course of a fight results in a noticeable amount of extra damage. Keep a careful watch on this cooldown and be ready to use it immediately once it is ready.

4.4.

Using Your Cooldowns More Often

Demonology cooldowns are relatively short, and a common mistake is to hold on to them for bosses only. Try to evaluate the time between bosses and how many cooldown rounds you can fit in the most efficient way.
