Talents
Next I will leave you several ways to face your enemies and different ways of developing the encounters, be it massive objectives or encounters with just one objective. As in the previous guide, choose the ones that you like the most or are close to your possibilities.
-Talents in yellow: they can become the best depending on which fights, in this case, they are the best for single-objective encounters.
-Talents in blue: you can choose them in case you don't like the ones that appear in yellow, there won't be much difference in DPS, that is, the best option after yellow.
-Green Talents: These talents are best for doing vastly more damage in areas, in other words, encounters with more than three targets.
- Level 15: Grim Inspiration
- Level 30: Upgraded Terracechairs
- Level 45: Demonic Circle
- Level 60: Power Boost
- Level 75: Demon Skin
- Level 90: Grimoire of Servitude
- Level 100: Soul Conduit
Talents with a red cross don't necessarily have to be worthless. We recommend that you read the notes that we will post below to understand the reasons why we have crossed them out.
lvl 15
- Grim inspiration: This ability empowers your next Shadow Bolt and causes it to be an instant cast.
- Flame of shadows: Deals Xp of Shadow damage to all enemies within 10 units of the caster, disorienting them for three seconds.
- Demonic call: Shadow Bolt has a 20% chance to cause your next Upgraded Terracecharer's Call to cost no Soul Shards.
In this first talent branch of the Demonology Warlock, we will choose Grim inspiration as the default talent to deal more damage to a single target. Demonic call It can also be useful to us, although the previous one is more powerful.
Flame of shadows It is not a very useful talent but it can be used to make areas.
lvl 30
- Impending doom: Doom deals damage three seconds faster and summons an imp when it deals damage.
- Upgraded Terracechairs: Summoning a terrachetor will cause two Imps to be summoned.
- Implosion: Demonic forces draw all of your Wild Imps towards the target, then cause them to explode violently for 0. Shadowflame damage to all enemies within X yards.
Upgraded Terracechairs used for single target encounters.
Impending doom It is used for encounters where there are two objectives.
Implosion It is used for encounters where there are more than three objectives.
lvl 45
- Demonic circle: Summons a demonic circle for 15 min, allowing you to cast it again to teleport to its location and remove all movement slowing effects. Limited to 1.
- Deadly spiral: Terrifies a fleeing enemy target and incapacitates them for 3 sec. Heals you for X% of maximum health.
- Shadow fury: Stuns all enemies within Xm for 4 sec.
Although I personally like to use Deadly spiral because I still don't have too much equipment and they blow me up right away, this branch will pull more towards the personal. Demonic circle can be used for both PVE and PVP, in this way we can wait until the last second to launch our Chaos discharge and cast this ability to not take damage from any source ... if we have an area under our feet. Shadow furyHowever, it can be useful as long as there are a large number of targets ready to kill us with very powerful abilities.
lvl 60
- Hand of doom: Hand of Gul'dan will now apply Doom to all enemies it hits.
- Power boost: Demon Empowerment has a 65% chance to generate 1 Soul Shard when used while in combat.
- Soul Harvest: Increases your and your pet's damage by X%. Lasts 12 sec, increased by X sec for each target affected by your (Affliction -> Agony) (Demonology -> Fatality) (Destruction -> Immolate), up to a maximum of X s.
Hand of doom he is the best talent for any situation as he has great potential for damage. However, as a default talent, Power boost it's a much better option for sustaining damage in combat. Soul Harvest she's also a very viable talent for single-target encounters.
lvl 75
- Demon skin: Your Soul Parasite's absorb now passively recharges at a rate of X% of maximum health every 5 seconds, and can absorb up to X% of maximum health.
- Burning momentum: Increases your movement speed by X%, but also damages you by X% of your maximum health every 5 sec. Movement reduction effects cannot drop your movement speed below X% of normal movement speed. Lasts until canceled.
- Dark pact: Sacrifice X% of your demon's current health to gain a shield with X% of sacrificed health for 20 sec. If you do not have a demon, your health will be sacrificed. Can be used while suffering loss of control effects.
I will not deny that I always take the coolest talents whatever the circumstance. That is why you should never listen to me when I say "personally" ... really.
Personally for this branch I usually use Burning momentum. Now you go and use it, for me.
The best option for this branch of talent is Demon skin. It is used in encounters where we should not have a lot of mobility and the damage we receive is not so high.
Dark pact currently has no significant utility. It can be used for certain encounters but, for the moment, we will choose any of the two above.
lvl 90
- Grimoire of Supremacy: You can maintain control of even greater demons indefinitely, allowing you to summon an apocalyptic guard or infernal as a permanent pet.
- Grimoire of servitude: Summons a second demon to fight for you for X, dealing X% more damage. Has a 1,5 min cooldown. Upon being summoned, the demon will instantly use one of its special abilities.
- Grimoire of Sacrifice: Sacrifice your demon to gain Demonic Power, causing your spells to also sometimes inflict Xp. additional Shadow damage to the target and other enemies within X yards. Lasts 1 hour X until you summon a demon.
For this branch of talents we will choose the Grimoire of servitude for any match below all three goals.
Grimoire of Sacrifice It is usually used, in this specialization, to do missions mainly. It is a talent that is used to deal damage in area.
Grimoire of Supremacy It is not recommended at all since it does not rent compared to the previous talents. It is better to have the three minute cd of both daemons before this option.
lvl 100
- Summon Darklook: Summons a dark look for 12 sec that casts Eye Lasers at all targets affected by your Doom, dealing (110% ability power) to them. Shadow damage.
- Demon discharge: Draw energy from your got damn and hurls a ball of demonic energy at the target, inflicting X damage. Chaos damage. Damage increased by X% for each demon that you have active. Spawn X Soul Shard.
- Soul conduit: Each Soul Shard you spend has an X% chance to be restored.
Summon Darklook It is a talent that is used in encounters with more than three objectives. It is quite powerful.
Demon discharge not a good fit for this talent pool.
Soul conduit used in single target encounters (for this spec).
Artefact
Before attaching the image that will help you to make the best paths in your artifact weapon, I must warn you that at level 110 you will directly unlock Artifact Knowledge at level 41, obtaining an artifact point multiplier of 5.200.000 %. Perhaps it is best to wait at maximum level to worry about the roads and not waste a lot of time in this regard.

Practical tips
- The Demonology Warlock is perfect for area burst damage but falls far behind in sustained damage.
- For character rotations, we will cast Shadow Bolt (to generate Soul Fragments) -> Call to Terracechadores (whenever we have it available) -> Summon Apocalyptic Guardian (1 target) / Summon Infernal (multiple targets) -> Grimoire : Fel Guard -> Demonic Empowerment (when we have summoned our demons).
- Use Dominate Demon and Fel Storm whenever we have it available.
- Use Demonic Wrath to generate Soul Shards.
- Hand of Gul'dan is a powerful ability to inflict a large amount of damage in area (or even single-target), so we must use it whenever we can.
- Use Life Transfusion when we need mana.
- Use Thal'kiel Consumption whenever we have it available.
