Demonology Warlock

Demonology Warlock

Ranged DPS

The spec that slowly kills you in arena. Demonology Warlocks have retained their identity as a master summoner, having a steady stream of damage that can be hard to avoid. As the only caster with a dedicated healing reduction effect, Demo fills a niche role in arena.

Best Race

Shadowmeld can immune incoming projectiles like Mortal Coil and Chaos Bolt, drop combat to reset, and remove yourself as the enemy's target. Extremely versatile defensive racial.

Hardiness reduces stun duration by 10% in PvP. Blood Fury provides a nice DPS boost that pairs with Demonic Tyrant burst windows.

Stat Priority
Versatility > Haste > Critical Strike > Mastery: Master Demonologist

Versatility is your most important stat for PvP. It increases your damage and reduces damage taken, essential for survivability. Haste reduces cast times and increases demon summoning speed. More Haste means more demons and faster Soul Shard generation. Critical Strike provides burst potential and is more valuable for Demonology than Mastery: Master Demonologist in PvP. Mastery: Master Demonologist increases demon damage but is less impactful than other stats for PvP.
