Demonology Warlock PvE Guide — Midnight
2 622 viewsAbout the Class
This is a ranged fighter whose primary stat is Intellect. The Demonology Warlock is a master of the legions of the Void who does not just fight on their own but summons hordes of demons to crush their enemies.
The defining feature of the specialization is accumulating Soul Shards to summon Wild Imps and more powerful demons such as Dreadstalkers. The gameplay revolves around empowering your main minion — the Felguard — and preparing powerful damage windows for the Summon Demonic Tyrant.

- Provides
Demonic Gateway, 
Soulstone and 
Healthstone for the group.
Weaknesses

Leveling
Demonology is the perfect specialization for solo play. Thanks to the Felguard, you can hold an enormous number of mobs on it.
- Restore the Felguard's health with
Drain Life, but don't forget to take the 
Infernal Beneficiary talent. - Blow up mobs with Implosion when you have 6+ imps accumulated.
Tips and Tricks
Minute burst — Tyrant: you always accumulate 5 shards before casting the Tyrant, since our main damage depends on the apex talents, namely — the more Hand of Gul'dan casts you use during Dominion of Argus, the more damage you will deal.
We press Implosion on cooldown; with the To Hell and Back talent we press it even on a single target. The minimum number of imps when pressing it should be 6.
You should cast all spells almost on cooldown with minimal delay to maintain high damage.
For survival, use 
Dark Pact almost on cooldown and the 
Healthstone together with 
Soulburn in a single macro.
