Demonology Warlock Talents & Build – Raid for WoW Forever
Demonology Warlocks draw strength from their demons. Demonic Sacrifice sacrifices a demon for a powerful bonus, Demonic Pact keeps that bonus when you summon another demon, Soul Link redirects part of the damage you take to your demon, and Master Demonologist gives you and your demon a bonus depending on its type.
Talents, ranks and values come from the WoW Forever game files. Playstyle and stat tips are based on Classic experience; talents and details may differ in Forever.

Playstyle and rotation
Before the fight, sacrifice a demon with Demonic Sacrifice, then summon a different one: thanks to Demonic Pact you keep the bonus, and Soul Link and Master Demonologist work with the new demon. Your damage comes mainly from Shadow Bolt, Corruption and Immolate; below 35% target health, Decimation helps. In Forever, demons scale with your stats.
Stat priority
For Demonology Warlock, the key stats are spell hit up to the cap, spell damage and spell crit. Intellect gives mana and some crit chance, and Stamina mostly matters in PvP. This priority comes from Classic; stat weights in WoW Forever may differ.
