Demonology Warlock 6.2

Recommended Posts

Guest Imapallywoot

You mention in the section discussing set bonuses that you should just add another HoG cast with the T17 4-set and stack it to 3...as far as I can tell, the effect only stacks to 2 even with procs from the T16 4-set. The duration still refreshes, but the intensity doesn't change after the second stack is applied. If this is being remedied in 6.1, it will make it even more necessary to stack it as such, but even for the sake of maximizing uptime it's still the best thing to do. Just wanted to point this out or the sake of clarity.

During the opener of an encounter, if you do not have full demonic fury, is it better to max demonic fury before meta(for demonbolt) , or just meta as soon as the main opener is finished to start doom ticking?

I have been playing a Demo lock for sometime now and have come up with done suggestions, the first being a macro for corruption. /stopcasting /cast corruption, for the instances that your corruption need refresh your out of fury or just about to pop meta, I've been running into GCD issues as many of our talents share the same GCD. Two of those being Imp Swarm and Doomguard/Terrorguard. I've played with openers and have good results from prepoting/precasting soul fire or even demonbolt if I have enough fury, also maintaining all doors doom, corruption and debuff and demonbolt stacks rather than fury dumping. After analyzing several boss encounters the biggest problem with the demo rotation has been maintaining those uptimes. More to come I'm tired of typing on my phone.

You're lying by saying it's been updated for 6.1.

It doesn't reflect the 6.1 changes yet so the guide must stay at 6.0.3 atm.

Could you elaborate?

Question about Grimoires. The current text says that Grimoire of Service is best for single target, and that Service and Synergy are tied for multi-target/AOE. Is Supremacy not in the running here?

 

Thanks for your time.

I would like to point out a minor error under the rotation section regarding the T17 4P bonus and its interaction with Hand of Gul'dan. It currently states :

" This drastically increases the uptime of the Hand of Gul'dan DoT with 2 or 3 stacks on your target."

 

While not a particularly egregious error, it should be changed to properly reflect that the DoT applied by Hand of Gul'dan will never stack to three. It should, rather, state that the duration of the two-stack DoT will be refreshed upon the third cast of Hand of Gul'dan.

 

It is not a major source of misinformation, but it was a point of confusion for someone this morning and I do feel like that the guide should reflect the most accurate information possible.

 

Thanks!

I have a question regarding wow_icon_achievement_boss_archimonde.jpgArchimonde's Darkness and wow_icon_spell_warlock_demonsoul.jpgDark Soul: Knowledge when using wow_icon_spell_warlock_demonicservitude.Demonic Servitude or wow_icon_achievement_zone_cataclysm.jpgCataclysm.

Whats the mechanic behind that 2nd charge:

1) do both DS share a common 2min cooldown

2) or are there two indepandant cooldowns for each charge

3) or is the only one second charge per fight

And, more important, how do I use the second charge properly? I know I have to use the first on CD, but does this also hold true for the second DS or should I spare it for heorism/boss-mechanic only?

The second charge works similar to how Hand of Guldan charges work, you start with 2 and when you use one it goes on cd, then when you use the second it has to wait until the first cd has finished to start working through it's cd.

One thing:

 

Corruption is extended when you cast wow_icon_inv_jewelcrafting_shadowspirit_Touch of Chaos while in wow_icon_spell_shadow_demonform.jpgMetamorphosis, so you will generally not have to refresh it manually. That said, if Corruption is about to drop and you have no reason to enter Metamorphosis, then you can refresh it manually. You do not lose ticks if you refresh it when it has 5.4 seconds remaining or less.

 

 

Is this still true when Demonbolt is specc'd?

According to the guide, refreshing Corruption manually would just occur from time to time but my tests yesterday yielded different results. I had to refresh it manually all the time. Am I doing something wrong?

With Demonbolt, you cast Touch of Chaos a lot less often, so that means more manual refreshes of Corruption.

I noticed that you say to always use Dark Soul when using Imp Swarm but I dont see that reflected in your "opening rotation" ... which one takes precedence?  Should I reserve IS until DS is sprung or should you incorporate DS into that opening rotation? Sorry if Im reading it wrong, but it did seem inconsistent.  Thanks for the great guide!

 

The opening rotation tells you to use Imp Swarm and than to activate Metamorphosis and use all your codlins. It's pretty clear, no?

As far as I can tell, Hand of Gul'dan doesn't stack past 2, even with T16 2-set procs. It will still refresh the duration, but the intensity doesn't stack past 2.

Sorry about that, I thought I had removed all the erroneous mentions of 3 stacks a long time ago, but I guess this one slipped through sad.png

I believe that this question would be better asked in the Warlock section.

I don't understand why you want to use a macro to cast Corruption.

I have a Question. Did you ever tested the dps of the imppet with wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Glyph_of_Demon_Training.

 

Single Target it should be above the Felguard/Wrathguard, but under the Doomguard and Terrorguard.

Something I would find enormously helpful would be a numeric stat weighting suitable for use in e.g. Pawn.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.

      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

    • By Starym
      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
