Demonology Warlock PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets — The War Within (11.0.7)

The stat priority for Demonology Warlock in PvP is as follows:

1. Intellect;
2. Versatility;
3. Haste;
4. Mastery;
5. 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.

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 Demonology Season 1 2pc and Warlock Demonology Season 1 4pc are both worth using in Season 1. Your Summon Felguard deals 5% more damage, Shadow Bolt deals 50% more damage and has a chance to increase your Felguard's Legion Strike by 300%.

Cyrce's Circlet is the new ring in Patch 11.0.7 that can be acquired from the Siren Isle. The ring has no secondary stats, but has 3 sockets which can be filled with 3 different gems, such as Freezing Ice Stone, Prophetic Twilight Stone or Desirous Blood Stone. However, these gems have their effects nerfed by 75% in PvP. Therefore, it is not worth using.

Note: It is important to be wearing 2 PvP trinkets. This will give you a Intellect boost that will increase your damage and Stamina.

Forged Gladiator's Medallion is a mandatory trinket to have equipped at all times. This allows you to remove any crowd control on yourself. You will normally use this when you are stuck in crowd control, and a teammate is at low health.

Forged Gladiator's Insignia of Alacrity is the best offensive trinket to wear. This gives you an Intellect proc, which will boost your damage.
