Ойындар
Hey Guys, hope all is well and I sincerely hope that all of you are enjoying Wrath of the Lich King thus far. As you know, Demonology Warlocks are manhandling Raids right now, so figured it was time for a Demonology Raid Guide. We’ll go over everything you need to know about Raiding as a Demonology Warlock.
As you guys know there's alot of things that go into playing a Demo lock and with that brings alot of min/maxing and finessing that you can do to ensure you’re sitting comfy atop those dmg meters. This is a longer video, so please use the timestamps to navigate to whatever part of the video you might need.

Destro locks: back in my day, we would cast shadowbolt and that's the way we liked it!
I always appreciate the addition of timestamps, really turns the content into reference material.
By far the best detailed Demo guide out there right now. Thanks for the video!
Thank you, Crix! You're super-duper Amazing! So helpful and I can listen to your professor's lectures for hours, no problem about it! You are the Best!
that guide is insanely good and well-put. keep up the great content! I appreciate you
Hey! Just want to say THANKS SO MUCH for these warlock videos!! I'm maining Demo warlock for the first time and I'm doing super well thanks to you and your tips!! My guild is blown away by my support demo warlock. I love the weakauras you linked too. Keep up with the fantastic content! Also my Felguard is named Haatom.
This guide is absolutely incredible! I'm brand new to WoW classic (and pretty much WoW as a whole), and I can't describe with words how much this has helped me get my head around Demo mechanics. I've done two 25 man Naxx so far and I went from dead last on DPS charts to 11th in a few days just by using this video as reference. And I got Vinikvegen as my Felguard name
Thank you. I realized a few days ago that I've been playing a destruction demon lock. Duh! Though I do decent dps, I had NO idea what a noob I've been. Spending two days reading and watching other videos and I was sure I wouldn't be able to comprehend the different rotations and changing from melee to ranged and back and forth and cooldowns and... I will watch this video again and again and practice on daily H to get better. I'm as apprehensive as I am exited. Great video. Thank you again!
Update, dont put pet attack in your macros. How my Demonology homies doing? Hope you all enjoyed this and hope it helps! Phase 1 BiS video next, then Aff PvE Guide!

I went into wrath planning to be affliction the entire expansion. But followed your advice weeks ago to quest as affliction and be demo in dungeons with dual spec. Well.... doing dungeons while leveling then heroics at 80 made me fall in love with demo spec. Those 20k+ soul fire crits are juuuuicy. Not to mention I out dps nearly everything in Heroics except for the occasional boomkin. Thanks Crix for what you do for the Classic community of locks. "We're not worthy! We're not worthy!"

Great informative vid; as always! Since you asked, my Felguard's name is Thoodhun. Pretty standard meh for demons.
For starters - Just rolled my os demo for the guildies and my Felguard name? Skurikrike. Hard to look at but actually pretty dope spoken out loud. Anyways this guide is fucking fantastic and as usual Crix you are a boss, thanks for your hard work man!
love the vids! keep going!
If you have trouble getting shoulder enchants there is an enchant at Honored. It's worse but your raid leader will be happy.
MASSIVE and Wonderful!
My felguard is Haakrill. I actually love his name. Thanks for this video because I have been looking to up my dps.
Hey Crix. Some of your weakauras in this video are not linked on your other video nor this one. How can I find them? After the pet attacking one and engi one mainly. Managed to find the others. Love your work. You have helped me so much!.
Gonna have me saying phenomenal crixx. great vid xd
Proper demon name on mine Ikzilvazul, I was messing around on a sim and figured I was using the wrong stone and curse but this video cleared up and gave me some extra things i can do, next week we climb out of the high 70 and hit dem 90 parces!
My Felguard Haathun thanks you for helping me make him so much more powerful.
Yo crix. This is Voidintel on Grobbulus. Ty for the great guides as always. My Felguard's name is Flaaghun. I call him the Flaaghun Wagon :P lololol

Great video Crix, any chance you could do a Naxx Demo parsing guide?
Great Video
My man sharon or sharoon the felguard appreciates the guide.
Heyo! Loved the video again @crix! Looked on your pastebin but couldnt find which WA is the one to hide the release button. Any helpers? :)
Nice guide, thanks. Some questions though: We apply all the dots while meta is running because the %-dmg modifier snapshots, correct? So should we also re-apply the dots before meta runs out (as long as the fight is long enough for the dots to run out) or rather keep spamming shadowbolt in that precious time? Is CoD really snapshoting too? So apply while meta and still get 20% dmg buff a for the dmg calculation one minute later?
@poopnukem4079
Жыл бұрын
Yes that is correct. Assuming you aren't running glyph of meta, if you just do the opener normally and apply dots just after they run out, you will find that you'll be reapplying corruption and immolate just before meta ends to snapshot the buff for longer. This happens literally every pull for me. CoD snapshots, this is the most important spell by far to make sure is pressed during meta and not just outside of it. If you have to elements then do this before meta.
Keep it up!
My boi Flaaghun pops off
Thank you for this! Is there a text version for the macros you mention? I read the script, only rank 1 shadowbolt there.. :)
Amazing guide.....One question, can you post a link to your weak auras pls? (Esp Decimation WA).....Thanks a lot. :)

for demo locks how different is 15 spirit on chest over 10 stats? demonic knowledge must make that gap really small right?
with the infernal do you drop it then fel dom the felguard out to just get the drop damage or do you keep the infernal out for the full duration then go felguard?
i go 2/3 an 3/3 sometimes on demonic tactics, because of pet crits being rare when all trinkets have procced
What is the addon /weakaura that is recommending spells b/w the player and enemy unit frames? I cant seem to find any mention of that rotation helper. Is it an addon or part of a weak aura? when I download both panel and buffs this feature doesn't show
Great video, thank you! Felguard name: Flaaghun, I think of it as pronounced as "flagon". Not bad.
Maybe a stupid question but another lock friend asked and I honestly didnt know the answer. During meta, should we ever use shadow bolt or just the shadow cleave? I do not but was asked "so you're just standing auto attacking?" so now I feel stupid I guess.
Felguard name is VeeShril also big thanks for the video!
Skelfaran is my Felguard here :) and what is your demonic pact macro please its not in the written guide :(
What's the more DPS efficient opening rotation? Corruption - immolate - COA Immolate - COA - corruption Immolate - corruption - COA Immolate -COA have the same dot duration as demonology when applied in that order, therefore can be applied in that order every 24 seconds. It's where corruption fits into the rotation. Any advice?
THank you for the guide and giving me some tip on what I may be missing for my Lock for the raids. My Felguard name is Akratom

Take your pick homie pastebin.com/u/Crix86
Question about incenerate v shadow bolt. If you had another lock you knew 100% would keep the debuff going and considering how close the dmg is for Shadowbolt and incenerate is would it be worth it to pick up the incenerate glyph over quick decay, skip the imp shadow bolt talent to pick up aftermath and cataclysm?
@poopnukem4079

You should look up the hybrid spec, it's pretty much what you're describing but leans even more in to the destro tree at the cost of demonic pact and meta.
How do you get your combat bars like that at 2:47? I'm assuming it's with bartender but what settings do you use to make it like that?
awesome guide as always, helps transitioning from main tank pala to my alt lock. felguard name is Kleknixx and my homie's felguard's called Kowlnixx

Hey bro, you said you only use spellstone, but I’ve found using Firestone for the insane crit chance increase. Is that not something we need as demo?

You haven't linked your weak auras or macros in the video description, can you please update this.
How does demonic pact work if you have two demo locks in the raid? Cause last night my guild had a new trial lock in the raid and he was also demo spec. With much worse gear than mine I am concerned that he will proc a shitty demonic pact before I can get a powerful one off. Btw my felguards name is "Kowlkrill". Pretty happy with that :)
yo can we get one of these but Affliction? i am doing semi ok damage as affliction on boss fights and i feel like im doing so much wrong, in TBC i slapped and was always 1-2 on the dps meter now im like 4th here 2nd there 8th here and 6th there its all over the place and i just know im not doing something right unless the class is HEAVILY gear dependent then i guess i could see thats how im not doing much. Ty in advance!
Are there any phase 2 affliction lock guides? Or is demo still viable
I cant seem to get demonic empowerment working to macro with anything, any tips? I've tried before and after the spell
Just curious as to why you would have to hols your felguard back? I watched it but I didn't hear a reason. Thank you for the info!

why wouldnt you use corruption or immolate if it wont last on the boss? Its still added damage.
My Felguards name is Zurilshok, i think it's decent, not letting any foes get of the hook!
So it's still necessary to hold the felguard back at the beginning? I thought the buff can be overwritten by a better version after you suddenly have more SP.
@Seaneezer
Жыл бұрын
you are right, it is overwritten by a higher sp buff, and will last 45 seconds (non-refreshed unless you reach a higher sp) before it falls and will need to be reapplied. with sundial + dying curse + tailoring cloak + prepot you can already give your raid +500sp at the start of the fight for 45 seconds, and usually can infernal for higher dps and the buff will stay with the felguard gone
I see you have a weakaura for trinkets, cloak etc. Can you share it?
Links to Weak Auras? your discord doesn't have the imp shadowbolt one. I also tried making one for when both trinkets proc at the same time and couldn't figure it out. maybe one of your viewers can give it a shot?
i've been using the lock weak aura, and i see it tracks your sundial. mine doesn't seem to track the aura and i cant figure it out. did you have to add the aura or alter it?
what is the WA/Addon that is showing the next ability to use ?
CRIX U ARE MVP
Shaaghun is my Felguard. This isn't really that neat in and of itself, but when a buddy of mine respec'd from affliction a few weeks back we found out that our raid actually has....two Shaaghuns. The chances for that are incredibly low, from what I can tell

i noticed that your action bars dont change when you use meta. i also have elvui and cant figure out how to stop that from happening
